| Muse – The House of the Rising Sun (Animals cover) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| In my opinion it can be a metaphor for any kind of sin or addiction that you keep coming back to, despite it making your life hell. Alcohol, drugs, an unhappy relationship. I mean, I doubt Matt is the type to buy a woman - being who he is he can get some without paying. So personally I think Muse's spin on it is about some other kind of addiction. | |
| Aphex Twin – Children Talking Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Oh I'd been getting the lyrics of this song wrong all along. I always thought it said Mashed potaters Mashed potatoes. Why do you say "mashed potaters" and that the man was correcting the child's pronunciation of potatoes. Now I listen closely I can hear that it says "hate" not "say". |

| Strung Out – The Misanthropic Principle Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I haven't actually heard this song but I can tell you that the anthropic principle is an idea in physics that the universe is the way it is because if it were different we wouldn't be here to see it. For example, you may wonder why gravity is the strength it is - if it were any stronger, the universe would have collapsed in on itself shortly after the big bang. It isn't that way now because it it were, we never would have evolved to see it. What that might mean in context of the song though, I have no idea. But it must have something to do with it. |

| Muse – Eternally Missed Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think the line "The sun forgives the clouds You are my holy shroud" sounds like a reference to a video on Matt's myspace (I think it was Zeitgeist). Anyway it was saying that Jesus is just a myth, like ancient Egyptian gods. It then shows how the Bible accounts bare similarities to astrological patterns, implying Christianity is just a sun-worshipping religion. The word "forgives" seems to be in line with the Jesus idea too. As for the clouds, perhaps that means things that seem to be contrary to Christian ideas in society, like Zeitgeist and stuff. Anyway I feel I'm going off on a tangent here. By this comment I don't mean to challenge anyone's religion (I'm religious myself) but I'm just trying to show what I think that's referring to. Also "holy shroud" might be referring to a cloth that covered Jesus in his tomb, but it seems to be kind of similar to the cloud idea (ie covering things up). I don't know, I think I'm rambling... I stand by my idea for "The sun forgives the clouds" though. |
