further on about the word choice: men often speak of loosening their ties to ease the tightness and choked feeling. i love how those words play together in this song. it suggests (like you say) that a relationship is like being tied to a person and very much like being suffocated by them. another thing about the word play- the kinky sex is more than submission. to me it sounds like some gender bending's going on. i guess that's obvious SM does ask for his dress to be loosened... |

| Kid Cudi – Day 'n' Nite (Nightmare) Lyrics | 15 years ago |

He's trying so hard to tap into the pockets of the idle youth, I can't help but be turned off by the rhyme "lonely stoner" said over and over again. Hip hop is not passionless garbage! His narrative skills BLOW. He doesn't challenge any of my expectations, Kid Cudi is so awful. In my opinion :) |

| Black Flag – Three Nights Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I don't mind the idea that musicians are playing just to play their instruments... "Emotion or thought" as is it seems laid out here usually amounts to senseless wanking to me... Tell your friend to go read a damn book. I have more to say, but I just can't get it straight right now. More later maybe | |
| Nick Drake – Which Will Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| makeartnotmath's right-- meaning it could be about unrequited love or whatever. i just don't think the song is supposed to be taken so narrowly. when i listen to it i think of an old friend and someone else might think of a lover or a family member or anything. come on guys | |
| Built to Spill – So & So So & So from Wherever Wherever Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Actually, now that I think about it: "so and so so and so from wherever wherever" could be meant...or actually I think IS speaking to the audience of everyone. whoever you are and wherever you are from, eventually, you must deal with the negative implications of life. and as with a lot of his lyrics, he is suggesting life (even in our sense of the word, a productive one) can be seen as fruitless, mundane and out of our control. the last two verses of the song present two stories. the first is of someone who is seemingly productive in the economy and has a balanced mindset and a good grip on modern life. And for the second, I've speculated he is talking about someone refusing to start making the decisions for their future. his criticism of the first is that the person is not truly happy with their job and life situation despite how right it looks. the second person, is recieving some social shame for refusing to face the reality. he comforts this person in bascially saying, "No one can tell you the right way to live." grim, but true in this song and in my own experience, every way to live has its drawbacks. modern life puts us in a situation in which we are stuck in a lame situation with no real alternatives. I'm not sure this was necessary, the song really explains itself and is pretty general. I just love it so much. |

I don't think he's saying that people who work at something they hate are "nobody." I think his true opinion of the matter is at the end of the lyrics when he says that no one has to do anything with their life or flesh because who says we do? But at the same time, we will have to face life and adapt to it sooner or later. It sucks, but we'd be dumb to think we can avoid it. Obvious, but I think true, the repetition of the lyrics "So and So" are critising plurality and monotony of life. |
