Sublime – New Song Lyrics 16 years ago
Line by line on the not so obvious parts:

First: The intro is just saying how the only way to quit is to kill himself, becuase he wont change otherwise.

Runnin from a gun --Hes running from suicide
Or some brain that weighs a ton --and from reality (the only 2 ways to quit heroin)
my god it hurts to so low
Searchin through the car, --Looking for heroin in the car
cold still searching through the night, --hes come down, cold, and still looking
I think i would run, to you, --He should stop doing drugs, but hes
but i refuse to fuss and fight. --to weak to fight.

And God may find a reason --God knows hes using it
Well I'm sure you'll find a rhyme --to be creative musically.
Because it takes up nearly all my time
He who stands for freedom --he has his drug dealers number
God knows I've got the number
But maybe I just use too much

I was sitting in that bar --Was sitting in a bar sober
I'm sittin' in that stolen car --now in the dealers car
Cold, still rollin' down the boulevard --cold, as hes not high
Saw you with a gleam --Heroin is a cool drug to do
And the microphone scene --in the rock world.

Think I will run, to you --He should go take another hit
But I know I won't live for me --but whos really in control?
Cause I know God's got both
The reason and the rhyme
Please tell me, why he takes up all my time
I've been drinking, just like you --Hes been drinking, but still
And baby, you've got something I can use --the heroin has his inspiration


But, all the DJ's do it --All the good musicians use heroin.
All the DJ's use it
I would run, I would switch --He should stop using it,
But I wanna be the same --but hes still too weak.
And I know I'll find a reason --He knows he uses it because
'Cause I always bust a rhyme --it inspires him.
Because it takes up nearly all my time
The "T" here stands for treason --Brad got tattoos on his arms
The "D" hear stands for dove --to cover heroin tracks (Debated)
And maybe I just use too much
Maybe I'm just used too much

ATB – Let U Go Lyrics 16 years ago
And there verse 2:

Its the little things that makes you crazy
like the thought of someone touching your skin
i can see you everywhere i go, i go

You can be inside a sea of faces
It can be the rumor of your grin
swimming in the river as it flows, it flows

Every cloud in the sky
Every place that i hide

every THOUGHT THAT I FEAR --here too
tell me that i
i was wrong was to let you go

Rammstein – Du Hast Lyrics 16 years ago
Sorry to everyone who thinkgs this is about hate

Du hast - You have
Du hast mich gefragt - You have asked me
Du hast mich gefragt, und ich hab nicht gesacht - You asked me and i didnt answer

The 2 chorus are just wedding vows in german..at the start he doesnt respond, at the end he responds with a powerful NEIN! As in..will you stay with her forever blah blah..NO. Any american who translated this to be you hate me needs to learn your german verbs.

T.I. – What You Know Lyrics 16 years ago
Lyrics are wrong at a few points, especially at this one part. Possible the most clever line of the song:

"See all that attitudes unnecessary dude
You never carry tools
..." is how this line should go. Square is an old fashioned way of saying conservative or boring, used primarily from the 1940s-1960s. Here, T.I. makes a joke from the double meaning of square meaning this guy is insanely boring and uncool.

Millencolin – Bowmore Lyrics 16 years ago
Lyrics are wrong:

"Yea when bowmores runnin through my pain" should be the chorus

verse 2 is

"Even if I'm weary
I know a way to calm things down I'm a person honey
yea that’s the only way
I guess I've got my theory
oh how things work at twelve years old
And it makes me worry
Yeah what more can I say "

Millencolin – Bullion Lyrics 17 years ago
Just want to put this out there:

This song has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with drugs or break-ups. Its sort of a coming-of-age song, more of a shy kid coming out of his shell.

This is probably #5 of the best pulley songs. Gone is by far their best song.

The Killers – Joy Ride Lyrics 17 years ago
First a correction:

"Stranded on a HEATWAVE burnin with desire" not "stranded on the freeway" sorta changes things i guess.

Hes in heat basically, needs someone to make him feel better. First verse is about picking up the hooker and going out into the desert. He's just setting a sad ironic condition: Rattlesnakes dont belong in romance..and it doesnt rain the desert, etc.

Chorus is basically the same thing: You dont take a joyride when you're in the gutter.

Second verse is pretty self explanitory until you get to:
"Loving mona lisa
Dreaming of the free world"
Noone knows why mona lisa is smiling, but many say its an ironic sad smile. So the hooker is smiling, but shes definetly not happy. Shes most likely a foreign hooker dreaming of double freedom: The 'free' American life style, and her freedom from prostitution.
"Lipstick on the nightstand
Demons at the door"
She's already here, lipstick is on the nightstand, the demons that haunt her about this were left at the door.

The little bridge here is a reiteration of the whole song up to this point, only he says they are both losers not just him or just her:

"When your hopes and dreams
Lose the will to go
Joyride
Reaching for the light
Knowing we can't win"

This second little bridge is his reslution to the prostitute, hes saying "There is actually a good existance out there, but we've never been there, tell me you'll come with me"

You also hear in the background "wont you kiss me?". She's been hooking so long she refuses to kiss anyone, hes asking her to kiss him symbolizing she will leave this life behind.

The Killers – Midnight Show Lyrics 17 years ago
To clarifiy:

Leave the bourbon on the shelf - He loves a girl named jenny who...
Mr Brightside - He happens to see with another man and then...
Midnight Show - He kills her and finally...
Jenny Was a Friend of Mine - The police question him about the murder/disappearance.

The Killers – Everything Will Be Alright Lyrics 17 years ago
I was out shopping for a doll ---Out looking for a one-time chick
To say the least, I thought I've seen them all ---he's seen them all already
But then you took me by surprise ---wait a second..i slept with her but
I'm dreaming bout those dreamy eyes ---i still want her.
I never knew, I never knew ---I never knew that was possible
So take your suitcase, cause I don't mind ---so go ahead and leave its ok
And baby doll, I meant it every time ---ill see you again and i love you
You don't need to compromise ---its not a compromise with me.
I'm dreaming bout those dreamy eyes ---I love you no matter what

I see it as the first verse is actually what has happened after this verse. The chick actually left and didnt come back and now hes trying to find her.

T.I. – Dead And Gone Lyrics 17 years ago
In my opinion, this song is the logical sequel to Live Your Life. In Live Your Life he eludes to maturing. "Been thugging all my life cant say i dont deserve to take a break" and basically the rest of the entire song tells how he is tired of the hip-hop 'life'. Now this song comes out and sort of gives a defining reason why.

D'ya think the sea im aiding. (I just copied it from the incorrect lyrics above).

Robbie Williams – Advertising Space Lyrics 17 years ago
Line by line:

There's no earthly way of knowing,
What's in your heart when its' stopped going.
The whole world shook,
The storm was blowing through you.

Elvis died of a heart attack, the world was shocked etc.

Waiting for god,
To stop this.
I'm too young and,
And darkness.
Everyone around you was corrupted,
Say something.

Hes too young to die, why doesn't God stop the heart attack. All of Elvis' 'friends' and 'managers' (the colonel in particular) were just using him to get rich, hence corruption.

There's no dignity in death,
To sell the world your last breath.
Your still fighting over everything you left,

He died on a toilet, there was no dignity in his death, so they never found a way to 'sell' his death (books, t-shirts, etc). Hell, they are still fighting over his estate.

I saw you standing at the gates,
When Marlon Brando passed away.
You had that look upon your face,
Advertising Space.
And no one learned from your mistakes,
We let our profits go to waste
All that's left in any case,
Is advertising space.

Elvis died in 77, Brando in 2005. Brando was the same type of 'super-celebrity' that Elvis was. So in a sense Williams saw Elvis standing there wondering if they'll sell Brando's death. Also, they are still fighting over Brando's estate, so they let their profits go to waste.

They poisoned you with compromise,
At what point did you realise.
Everybody loves your life,
But you.

Elvis wasnt happy. They constantly made him change what he wanted to do. He was a god to some people, so everyone loved his life but him.

A special agent for the man,
Watergates and Vietnam.
No one really gave a damn,
D'ya think the sea i'm aiding???

Lots happened in the 70s but Elvis was more important than it all.


Rinse and repeat the chorus.

Brand New – Me vs. Maradona vs. Elvis Lyrics 17 years ago
"With one or two I get used to the room...
...Out of cash and IOUs

It'll take a few drinks to get up his nerve, as hes a lonely depressed man, but after a few he will do the deed. After that, he comes back, has a few more and becomes more depressed.

"I got desperate desires and unadmirable plans...
...Who they'll kiss before they get home"

He's so desperate for sex that he plans to take advantage of this girl while shes drunk. By acting sober and in-control he convinces her out of her clothes (perhaps with a lie of some sort). He's actually the one who's scared; hes scared everyone will know what 'crimes' he's committing.

"I will lie awake
And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say"

Pretty self-explanatory. He's going to stay awake and just make up lies of love and hold her in loving ways, all with the intent of using her sexually.

"Barely conscious in the door where you stand...
...You can sin or spend the night all alone"

Shes so drunk at this point, she can barely stay awake, but she's still wants more (attention/drinks/love, intemperate as you wish). She's past the point of comprehension just laughing at whatever he says, and his guilt starts creeping up on him. He decides to go through with the act. The biblical stone throwing ("let he who is without sin cast the first stone") passes though his mind. She's sinned as well tonight.

"Brass buttons on your coat hold the cold...
..It's ladies night, all the girls drink for free"

This one is easy for me to understand. Shes just as desperate as he is, and she drinks for the same reasons as he does. In her own way, shes taking advantage of him as well.

Brand New – Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades Lyrics 17 years ago
I think most everyone gets the overall-meaning of the song, but ill break it down as it means to me. By the way, im well past the sexual-anxiety song, but most males (femals as well) feel this way before/during/after their first time.

Heres my interpretation:

"Shaking head to toe...
...It beats me straight into the ground."

He's shaking with nervousness (also very common for males during their first time). so he gives her his hand signaling 'what do i do?'. As his heartbeat quickens with fear/anxiety/excitement it metaphorically beats him into the ground.

"You don't recover from a night like this...
...sheets barely whisper, "This is so messed up.""

Theres no going back after this, Your virginity is something you only lose ones. A metaphorical 'victim' is still in bed after the act. The zipper part is self-explanatory. "This is so messed up" that he has to go through with this, it's supposed to be special but it isn't.

"Upon arrival the guests had all stared...
...life full of lies and failing relationships."

Upon arrival of wherever he is, the people there all looked at him suspiciously, This is his GUILT playing tricks on his mind after what just happened. This is a self-imposed guilt.

"Up the stairs: the station where
the act becomes the art of growing up."

Sex is the male 'coming of age' task. At least this is what most young males think. "If i dont have sex i'm not a man"

"He keeps his hands low...." This is the same as the first part except now hes 'starting to grow up'

"The fever, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
Die young and save yourself."

This is how sex is discussed among teenage males. It's not hard to convince a kid to have sex because of all the good things they hear about it. Die young and save yourself from the emotional baggage and disappointment.

"She hits the lights...holding back from telling her what this really feels like"

The main IDEA of the song is here. Regardless of what someone hears from their friends about sex (how to do it, what works, what doesn't), they are NEVER prepared. He cant breath because of the stress and anxiety . Its so uncomfortable emotionally and physically that he will NEVER do this again. He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides to 'balance' himself.

He is the lamb she is the slaughter...but shes probably only looking for se..ooo much more...aching in his gut to subside"

One of the best written Brand New lines. Hes the proverbial lamb being led to the slaughter (embodied by the woman with much more experience than him). He keeps telling her to slow down, but shes focused on her physical pleasure. He tells her (falsely) that he loves her to try to make HIMSELF feel better, but he realizes shes only there for sex, as with his emotional anxiety he doesn't feel like he can provide more than a meaningless relationship; so he just waits for it all to end, and his gut to stop aching.

Taking Back Sunday – You're So Last Summer Lyrics 17 years ago
If you don't have a legitimate interpretation PLEASE STOP POSTING. I dont disagree with peoples interpretations but peoples "OMG I LUV DIS BAND" shit has to STOP.

The following is a decent interpretation:

"Don't let it go to your head, boys like you are a dime a dozen, You're a touch overrated, you're a lush and i hate it, but these grass-stains on me knees, they wont mean a thing."

You're nothing special, just another singer in a band. This isnt the firs or last singer that she'll go down on.

"All i need to know, is that I'm something youll be missing / Maybe i should hate you for this, never really did ever quite get that far"

How dare she say hes nothing special, he NEEDS to know that she will miss him, even though hes like every other person shes been with. Or maybe he shouldn't get mad, after all the fling didnt last long.

"I'd never lie to you, Unless I had to, I do what i got to, unless i had to, ill do what i got to"

Pretty straight-forward. He wont lie to her, unless it would get him something (or someone) better.

"The truth, is that you could slit my throat, and with my one last dying breath id apologize for bleeding on your shirt"

Sort of an ironic line. Even though shes treating him like shit, he still finds himself attracted to her. Maybe because shes not like every other star-struck girl.

"Cause im a wishful thinker with the worst intentions, this will be the last time that you get to drop my name"

Hey, maybe he could use his fame to get her in bed. If not? Well then she doesnt get to drop my name to impress people anymore.

"If im just bad news, then you're a liar"

If she's just going to write him off as bad news, then she needs to stop telling lies about her and him being together.


I know this isnt 100% accurate, but this is what it means to me :)
