| Tool – Descending Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
@[rhino10194:48236] Well more specifically @[ken1171335:48237] Jesus fucking christ. Yes, the band that is all about unity and oneness is actually singing an anthem about "white genocide" - a real thing that is very certainly happening all around the world! No you Nazi dipshit. Maynard is not singing about "white genocide." His lyrics more often make fun of your ignorant ideologies than they support them. "Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground" anyone? Hopefully in the time since posting that, you've gotten off 4chan and picked up meditation. We are all one. |

| Younger Brother – Spinning in the Space Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Thanks for the insight, Fuji. I agree with you whole-heartedly that this album is very spiritual in nature, and like you said, it's only natural since it's Simon Posford. The recurring theme for me is that it dares to ask some of the darker questions that spiritual experiences present us with. It's a very puzzling yet beautiful album, just like life itself. A masterpiece. | |
| Younger Brother – Safety In Numbers Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I think this song and this whole album in general are about, at least partially, dealing with some of the darker aspects of the truths that psychedelics or spiritual experiences reveal. Basically, if we accept that we really are all one consciousness, then what are the implications? "Can I steer this ship? Or does she conceive me?" Do I control my path in life and the growth of my soul or is it predetermined by something higher? How much is me choosing my next action and how much is It doing for me? "And (not 'when') you agree that you are casualty to equation Slave to schematics A division of greater parts equal to the derivative of itself And then multiplied There is no safety in numbers" These last lines especially evoke this theme for me. Oneness is a beautiful truth, but some of the implications are so profound and existentially almost terrifying that it can shatter ones worldview and bring a lot of questions with it. Pretty much every song on Vaccine reveals this theme for me and this feels like a wholly original album that needed to be made. For those who didn't like the change of style, get over it. Simon Posford practically invented the psybient trance genre for all intents and purposes, so let the masters continue to grow and experiment because no artist wants to make the same thing a million times over. |

| Bloc Party – The Healing Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| One of the most beautiful songs on the album, truly an almost therapeutic track. Some real wisdom and insight and maturity in those lyrics. This song struck me instantly. | |
| Bloc Party – Truth Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Bloc Party's love songs always tend to be my favorite, and this is no exception. One of the album's finest. | |
| Bloc Party – V.A.L.I.S. Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
For the record (taken from Wikipedia): "VALIS is a 1981 science fiction novel by Philip K. Dick. The title is an acronym for Vast Active Living Intelligence System, Dick's gnostic vision of one aspect of God." Now...interpret away! |

| Bloc Party – Day Four Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I definitely see the recovery and rehabilitation themes, as well as some imagery on death and resurrection. Maybe the whole Day Four title comes from the Jesus being resurrected in 3 days notion? | |
| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Did I Let You Know Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I really like Look Around at all but this really should be the next single. "When we envision a lack of division and The planet does another revolution The day I blew on ya, You said I grew on ya Turns out that we are all the one solution" Amazing lyrics, couldn't be more relevant right now. |
|
| Angels and Airwaves – Behold A Pale Horse Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
"And they know who we are The seven angels sing And several billion die With the earth shaking Yeah they know who we are And they will set us free" Not sure if Tom knows anything about the so-called "Indigo Children" but if he does I could definitely see these lyrics being about that. Really good song to lead into the album's final track. |

| Sadistik – The Exception to Everything Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard and there's only one comment? :( I won't bother to analyze it 'cause the music speaks for itself, but I'll just say that the last verse means so much to me. | |
| Kanye West – Coldest Winter Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"On lonely nights, I start to fade. Her love's a thousand miles away." Right off the bat, this song hits hard and doesn't let go. Can't believe there's only three comments on one of the best songs he's ever made. The fact that he samples TfF - my second favorite band ever - doesn't hurt either. Really love this, really relate to it. Perfect climax for the album. |

| Bloc Party – Banquet Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| So is it "turning into my soul" or "turning into myself"? Because I've always thought the latter, but SongMeanings seems to disagree. | |
| Bloc Party – Compliments Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Haunting, encompassing, and genuinely brilliant. The meaning is pretty evident and has been covered already, but there's one thing I am curious about. Anyone have an explanation for the song title? |
|
| The Grouch – Breath Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Woo. Great song, Grouch. | |
| Sage Francis – Broken Wings Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Also always thought this was another case of Hip-Hop personified as a woman. It works so perfectly for this song, it's almost impossible to think otherwise. | |
| Wreckless Eric – Whole Wide World Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Err, I meant that as a general comment on the song, not as a reply to back to your cage. Whoops. But yeah, this is the pinnacle of awesome love punk anthems. |

| Wreckless Eric – Whole Wide World Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Me too, Eric. Me too. | |
| Nas – I Can Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Curious - I don't know an extraordinary amount in terms of historical knowledge, so for those were saying this song contains inaccuracies, care to elaborate? The "taught Greeks and Romans" line is the only thing I can spot out without doing my research, because uh, the Roman Empire ended way before Timbuktu existed and was doing all the good stuff it was. Even the Byzantine Empire, which he may very well have meant, was pretty much Christian, so I don't think they were anywhere near Timbuktu either. Aside from that, I still love Nas, and this is a pretty great commercially-friendly song. At least he makes an effort to spread knowledge, and the inspirational bits come with good intentions. Just don't kick the wrong knowledge, Mr. Jones, because that's no good. |

| Blink-182 – Fuck a Dog Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is actually titled "Fuck a Dog". Both "I Want To Fuck a Dog in the Ass" and "Fucking Dogs" are incorrect. Good job, guys. |
