Ozzy Osbourne – Goodbye To Romance Lyrics 13 years ago
Can I be the only one here who sees the striking similarities between this song and the Carpenters "Goodbye to Love"?

Ozzy Osbourne – Suicide Solution Lyrics 13 years ago
Clearly, anyone with a brain can see that this song is about alcoholism. Anyone who thinks it's about suicide or convincing someone to kill themselves, is a moron. End of discussion.

"Goodbye to Romance" - Well, that may actually be about suicide.

The Cure – The Figurehead Lyrics 13 years ago
I agree with frig neutorn. This song is about the guilt of a breakup, but particularly about the breakup of his first love. The lyrics indicate that it is written about a year after the breakup "...for the first time in a year".

"You mean nothing..." - the last fight

"I can lose myself in Chinese art or American girls" - Trying to distract himself from the depression/pain with other pleasures.

"The same image haunts me in sequence..." - The memory of this first relationship's beginning and it's eventual bitter end haunts him every time he feels he's becoming close to someone else.

"I will never be clean again" - He has lost the innocence he had with this first love. All other relationships are now tainted by the thought that they may also not be permanent, that they my also end. He will never have that innocence again.

Got to agree with Graviton: This is a brilliant filthy song. "...in my dreams, we are rocking in a similar motion". Lol.

Skinny Puppy – God's Gift (Maggot) Lyrics 14 years ago
Interesting. The background vocals are from Friedrich Nietzsche's Antichrist (from the site I noted above):

"What is good? – All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself in man

What is happiness? – The feeling that power increases – that a resistance is overcome. Not contentment, but more power. Not peace, but war. Virtue in the Renaissance style, virth, virtue free of moralic acid. The weak and ill-constituted shall perish: the first principle of our philanthropy"

I'm thinking maybe this song is about either Nietzcsche, Hitler or the Nazis in general.

'points' refers to pointed toed loafers or boots that were popular men's fasion in the late 1950's early 1960's. Google: Winklepickers or Chelsea Boot and you should see some pictures of some. "tight pants, points (pointed shoes)"

Bob Seger – Night Moves Lyrics 14 years ago
Lyrically, quite possibly one of the greatest pop rock songs ever. I love how the lightning/thunder reference goes from youthful sexuality:

"And oh the wonder
Felt the lightning
And we waited on the thunder"

to age and the melancholy of death in one simple verse:

"I woke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
....With autumn closing in"

This is a song any serious song writer should study. So compact, every line with significance and impact.

Skinny Puppy – Three Blind Mice Lyrics 14 years ago
Voices
Can you hear
It has begun
My double
The ugly
Symptom
Under the skin
Intent within
The shadow waves adieu
And joins the requiem

Spiteful
In character
No respect
The pupils dilate
Taking it all in
Diminutive
The right to live
No hope of anything
Obscene is so obscure

Do it again
Stoic
Ethics
All the same
Do it again
Mosaic paints of pretty days
Do it again
Do it again

Posture
Crumbling
It has begun
An empire
Lifetime
Decayed from within
Leaving is deadening
Ones own belief in
Ownership and credit
Stipulate the whim

Visible
All can see
A constant pain
Reaping the harvest
Eating the grain
So sure and insecure of everything
Nervous tremor
I slip away

Bromide
Pocket vial
It has been done
My double
Now one
Forever gone
Answer within
A black ribbon

Skinny Puppy – God's Gift (Maggot) Lyrics 14 years ago
I think these are the real lyrics (from http://glitch6.blogspot.com/2011/04/gods-gift-maggot-lyrics.html)

(Feels good, it heightens the feeling of power, will to power, power it’s simply not)

To a life, less gleaming
Forgotten is the morning dawn
Learn to read with no degree
Bloody lies and black sun (I’ll tell you why)
In the eyes of God
The sky’s the limit
Proceeding in this darkest way
Glowing back at the end - your halo
You’re bloody righteous

Became a life broken, forever in judgment
Of his righteousness

Absurd Man be afraid
Falling back inane
Over mature
The chair backward falling down
Knives in eyes
Made us feel brave
Fragile
Falling another way

Really brave puts on a grin
On the floor in a pool of blood
On lifeless grin
Back to the bedroom
With a grin

When master knocks down phantoms
Living out miseries
It’s hard to fathom what depth man will go
It’s hard to fathom, hard - talking my god
God gave maggots
God gave maggots
God gave maggots
God gave maggots

Eye sockets feed the faith, no less then back again
Open wound in as much over-silence backwash
God gave maggots
God gave maggots
God gave maggots

In a silent way, back to where they came

Description of a way
Temple’s visit
Ghostly remain
No more room to blame
Now they’re winning
A conservation of life
Prize work
Prize work
Is the un-doing
Remains to show the failure of all

Bedroom
Borrowed
Solace
Coyness is the easy road
Describe magic
Creation

(…belief in constant relationship of perish from birth springs full of our philanthropy)

Oh Sean, your life became mush
God gift maggots

God gift maggot
God gift maggot
My friend maggot
Life filled maggot

Skinny Puppy – Deep Down Trauma Hounds Lyrics 17 years ago
As odd as this may sound, I always had a suspicion that this is a pro-life song. Particularly the phrase "to push away all growth within puzzles me offers soul to nothing"

And

"the message screams it's purity that those with no rights display the right to have no life to have respect they must accept a world committing suicide, do you respect a world, committing suicide?" (i.e, a society killing themselves or their own). I have no particular agenda, just a thought.
