| Orchid – Tigers Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
There is no such person as a pseudo-intellectual, only pretentiousness, since logics are the method, not the way to new true insights. All three philosophers critisize western society. Society is everywhere, so they are metaphysically rejecting life. Emotions are what makes life important and vital, not knowledge. Life is life. To select the people based on knowledge is thus preposterous at best. And this song is hopelessly ironic in nature. Read some Wittgenstein, you filthy thinker ;). |

| The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower – Comeback 1968 Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
May '68 was the name of the greatest strike ever, lasting two weeks and completely stopping the french economy in that small timeframe. The striker's/protestors hated consumerism/capitalist imperialism, felt they "as humans" were being tossed into the capitalist machine, reduced to complacent consumers. To really understand the '68 movement, read The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord. Does there even have to be meaning in a song, i mean, music is something emotional, meaning is a thought. |

I don't think there are alot of MC's capable of producing such insanely good lyrics. You talk like you're chief editor of rolling stone. The last place you look for beauty is black metal, second, who are you to define aesthetics? Edan - Beauty |

| Circle Takes the Square – Kill the Switch Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The beauty of abstractions, forgetting to live and truly enjoy, or the abstractions (logics, reason) are simply because the outside world seems uncontrollable, and abtractions can be abstracted ad infinitum. The lust to know everything and forgetting how to live, still retaining the urge. "somewhere out there is a thrill i swear." "The image is clear, a tower is built of my own pride, I cry in the shade that if offers, the only shelter I've known." ivory tower of knowledge, cant stop thinking. "by every image that we borrow, every harvest depends on the past." Beautiful thought requires new real images of the world. In short; death of a poet/artist, the guy who wasted his time to create what other done better. |

|
Its about el's view on modern society, and how it doesn't provide us freedom, only pretends it does, for power. Nice words from the spinmachine, nothing more. "Dirty words paralyze words and infect shit Infectious Insofar as the ineffectual bed for elections " On money, materialism that doesn't make us happy either. "To train that animal shit Where the mind's eye redefined Where's God? Buy a car , Kick tires" |

| Aesop Rock – Forest Crunk Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Forest crunk is slang for every form of hiphop that isn't gangster. That's why the song opens with a nice "FUCK YOU." to show those kids what's really good. | |
