| Bad Religion – Get Off Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think this song is about the inside struggle of an intelligent man. On one hand you have you brains telling you that it is NOT ok to treat women like objekts and be attracted to them purely because of their bodies. On the other hand you have your pelvis telling you to f*ck the shit out of everything with big breasts. "Lascivious,It's all that I can think of as I drag my feet, searching like a diogenes." This makes me think of a man who is attracted to the outer shell of women without "honest" emotions. "Dangerous, the adjectives of the decade and of your alluring intricacies." This I interpret as the man realising the dangers of giving in to tempation. "I can see your green-screen mentality And I can feel the sting of it's consequence" Again, this makes me think about superficial attraction. "And I know, I shouldn't But it's too much too ignore, On emotion I deplore, Every time I look at you, I just want to do it, I can clench my fist right through it But I just want to get off" This is about letting the "animal" within win the struggle. He doesnt WANT to do it, hence he DEPLORES this emotion, and he have to clench his fist through it. But in the end, he just wants to "get off". |

| Bad Religion – The Biggest Killer in American History Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
For me this song is about waging war out of fear: The first verse is about that ordinary people become killers when they go to war. "veritas" is latin for truth, but I think he means "the american truth", as an "absolute truth" which just isnt tue. The second verse is about all the social change a war brings with it. And as someone mentioned Edward Teller is one of the forefathers of the nuclear bomb. And havent they tested nuclear weapons in the nevada desert? (Moribund means "close to death" I think. So the line "I think of Edward Teller and his moribund reprise" means that the nuclear bomb was developed in the nick of time, or close to an american loss of the WWII.) Third verse is about the fear part. Im sorry for my bad english, it´s not my native language. |
