| Ned's Atomic Dustbin – Happy Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
@elementar, I like your interpretation, but if I may... I think it's about a guy, in a relationship where he can't win. She's always upset, and no matter what he does, he can't please her, so he figures if he leaves she will be happy. But he knows this is not true, he is baiting her. And yet he knows her displeasure is his fault. |

| A Perfect Circle – Blue Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Yes, the 13th step is all about addiction. Stories are told from the perspectives of the addicts, those around them, and even the drug in some instances (this is all per Maynard). He has also stated that 'Blue' is about this girl he was dating who was a heroin addict. He was in denial, his friends kept telling him she was, but he chose not to believe them, because he really liked her and didn't want to see the truth. They would tell him she was too skinny, and he would say she just doesn't eat a lot. They would say she looked like she was strung out and he would say she doesn't sleep much. She looked like she was dying and he didn't want to think she really was, due to her addiction. | |
| The Twilight Singers – Teenage Wristband Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Let me start by saying, I hate it when everyone thinks every song is about drugs, but this is Greg Dulli/Twilight Singers. So yeah, they ARE mostly all about drugs. haha I can't believe that drugs have hardly been mentioned in regards to this song. TFU is like the only one who even grazed the surface. I see the whole teenager thing people keep talking about, but i think it mostly comes from the title which may have been due to conscious homage, or it was an afterthought, due to the subtle similarity. I think the whole song could be taken 2 ways, with or without drugs. May be a attributed to Dulli's brilliance, or maybe i just think too much. 'You say you wanna go there, Ride then- I did- and I loved it- Say you don't wanna be here, Leave then- Time comes , to get gone Say good morning to another set Of creature My dear, I'm gone-she said-' Could be someone is wanting to getaway from their life for a while, go somewhere new. Dulli's been there and enjoyed it. He's encouraging her to go, have fun, and meet some new people, blah, blah, blah. On the other hand, "go there" does not necessarily mean, any actual travel will take place, nor does "get gone" or "go for a ride." The later quote and "ride then" could be referring to riding the white horse, riding the snake, or if you are a Cheech and Chong or Primus fan, riding on the hamburger train. "Another set of creature" could refer to the change in personality this girl will face after her night of heavy drug use or the type of people she'll awaken to. 'Tell your mama fever come Back again Look what you started- And break it eazy to your boyfriend' "Fever come back again" could be a thirst for adventure. And if she leaves she'll have to tell her boyfriend she's going or gone, and possibly getting busy with Dulli. Then again, the fever could be drug addiction, and her boyfriend may be trying to keep her clean. And trying to keep her from getting with Dulli. haha. "Gonna stay up all night," definitely has a teenage vibe, probably the winning argument for the 1st theory. "Gonna stay up all night." likewise, is the winning argument for the second theory. Not sure about heroin, but most drugs will keep you up all night. "Hours/Money to burn" is yet another argument in favor of drug song. Sorry to burst any bubbles, and you'll probably think I'm crazy, but it's the Twilight Singers. Maybe I'm just looking for the drug references, but come on, it's too easy ;p |
