| The Offspring – Hammerhead Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
kjarkas, it's pretty hard NOT to call you narrow-minded when you say shit like "The Middle East is a formidable foe." You really consider the WHOLE Middle East to be your enemy? Most of the Middle East isn't going around wishing death upon the entire western world for no reason. It's only a select few. Unfortunately, as 9/11 showed us, a select few is all it takes - that's exactly what the Offspring song "Conspiracy of One" (written BEFORE 9/11, eerily enough) was about. But, this song? Nothing to do with the war, nothing to do with the Middle East, it's about SCHOOL SHOOTINGS. Dexter Holland himself has said this. It's pretty hard to dispute the intended meaning of a scong when it's clarified by the very person who wrote it. I actually find it quite disturbing that someone would read the "teacher, come help me" part of these lyrics and get a patriotic message out of it. |

"I'm not sticking up for Jonny, nor am I defending him." - Shit, that should've said "nor am I attacking him." ... Well, there goes all the credibility of my comment. :P |

Zac Garren... Seriously? I mean, I'm a fan of the band and everything, but, come on. Now, granted, I don't know the whole story since everyone involved will have their own version of it (and I never really gave all that much of a crap since the whole situation's just too gossipy for my liking to begin with), but dude... Posting stuff like "that band isn't self sufficient and cant exist without the help of others" just makes you come off as totally full of yourself. And saying that Jonny is in the top 3 worst people in the world? You're seriously going to rank the guy alongside people like Hitler and Charles Manson? Real mature... I'm not sticking up for Jonny, nor am I defending him. But dude, coming onto your OWN band's songmeanings.net discussion to take shots at your old singer is just sad, regardless of whether or not it's true. I enjoyed DGD's E.P, the first album blew me away, and although I haven't been as impressed by what I've heard on MySpace so far, I'll be getting the upcoming album the day it comes out. But, really, I just don't give a shit about the whole Jonny thing anymore. It's all anyone seems to talk about on these pages now... |

| I've listened to this song a LOT and I'm positive it's pumpkin rather than bumpkin. Plus it'd fit in a lot more with the imagery of witches and so-forth. | |

ryebreadisme - I'm pretty sure the "Just like the ocean" bit was only in an early version of this song. It was in the version I first downloaded, but when I bought the album, I discovered it's since been removed. Shame, it was my favourite part of the song (though, it's still great either way - gotta love the melody to the whole thing!). I also DEFINITELY think he says the "gorgeous evil angel" line as opposed to the "gorgeous he will lay in gems" one. Listen to the remix of this song on the Tiger & the Duke re-release - the line's a lot clearer there and there's very little doubt as to what he's saying. On another note, I'm aware that the title of this song relates to the Japanese at the beginning (and the title of "Horses in the Sky," too), but "My horse must lose" is a fairly recognisable Simpsons quote (Homer sings it in "Saddlesore Galactica") - think there's any meaning/reason behind it or just a coincidence? |
