Mae – All Deliberate Speed Lyrics 15 years ago
With either interpretation of the song, whether religious or of the civil rights movement, I believe this line means that he who speaks out (sings) is the one who pays the consequences or is made the example of.

Unfortunately, that is not a true statement. Regardless of meaning, the booklet that comes with the CD has the lyrics as "made us in the afternoon".

Bear In Heaven – Casual Goodbye Lyrics 15 years ago
it's a casual goodbye, goodbye
off the mountainside
seen but not for long, too long
as our lights look down the road

casual we ride, we ride
to the mid day light
casual we drive, we drive
off the mountainside
and the ground, it's closing down
out run it
it's a casual goodbye off the mountainside
seen but not for too long, too long
as our lights look down the road
casual we ride through the big blue sky
and the ground, it's closing down
out run it
out run it
out in our place filled with lost existence
you'll fall forward because...

oh no, my friends
i think we've turned into a big mistake
but those are the breaks
for having fun

turning away from the high road
we should find a flock of birds big enough
to pull us up
from the low road
come on
come with us
we are falling straight down, so turn us up
loud and clear
before we crash in the ground

turning away from the high road
we should find a flock of birds big enough
to pull us up
from the low road
come on
come with us
we are falling straight down, so turn us up
loud and clear
before we crash in the ground

The line I'm least sure of is "to the mid day light".... it really sounds like "to the mid delight", but since most of the other lyrics "make sense", this line wouldn't.

Great song... and was just on the season premiere of Stargate Universe.

Dredg – Quotes Lyrics 15 years ago
This song may be a little tongue-in-cheek... perhaps about prescription drugs being pushed onto people. The message of the song seems fairly, almost too "direct", as if it is some sort of marketing pitch.

311 – Large In The Margin Lyrics 16 years ago
I'm not sure if these are the 'official lyrics' (don't have the record with me), but I believe that it is:

"will fuck you up" as opposed to "we'll fuck you up"

As in "trying to hard to reach a higher plane will fuck you up when you least expect it"

The Classic Crime – Warrior Poet Lyrics 16 years ago
"warrior poet" is about having complete responsibility for your own existence, achieving the balance between and being able to maximize the mind, body, and spirit.

Basia Bulat – The Pilgriming Vine Lyrics 16 years ago
Might "the maple" have something to do with Canada?

This song could be about leaving Canada (the pilgriming vine) and moving some place warmer, maybe in the United States. Perhaps there is some pressure for her to leave Canada to be successful musically and she's dealing with that and maybe leaving someone she loves. Just a thought.

piece/peace, what do you all think?

Athlete – Rubik's Cube Lyrics 16 years ago
Often we look to our own lives to give meaning to songs that move us. For me, this song is really about having an uncertain, puzzling future and that everything will be okay if you stick to it and stay determined to solve it. And with that, the answer can be anything you want it to be.

Nuno Bettencourt – Pursuit Of Happiness Lyrics 16 years ago
This is such a great, underrated record. I think the song is pretty self explanatory as far as meaning is concerned. Anyone disagree?

Sunny Day Real Estate – Iscarabaid Lyrics 16 years ago
After seeing this song live last night (20090921), I'm pretty darn sure the first chorus is:

"You're tired of me
well, I'm tired of you
(not sure of the next two lines)
what's wrong with me?
well, I'm tired of you"

After this record came out, I wondered if the the chorus was sort of a bitter stab at the bandmates since Jeremy recorded the vocals after the band broke up. If that's so, considering they played it last night, maybe they're all light-hearted about it. Could be about something else too. This song is amazing, but the lyrics are hard as hell to decipher!

Noisettes – Never Forget You Lyrics 16 years ago
I think it may be about a best friend and not a lover. She references "her boyfriend's mother" but the song is directed to a person. Also, the part about borrowing silver boots ... you know, I guess a guy might wear some silver boots, but that would be hard as hell to pull off. ;)

Another vote for "If there's a reason I'll right it, always."

Sunny Day Real Estate – Bucket Of Chicken Lyrics 16 years ago
I'm not 100% certain, but I believe they titled it "Bucket Of Chicken" because it was written for the second Crow movie and then not used, so they just named it something stupid. Back around that time, the "mystery song" was simply known as "The Crow"

Annuals – Sore Lyrics 17 years ago
I see the song a bit differently, clara. To me, it is a song of regret. He's using a lot of "ifs" and it sounds like he regrets fighting with his love and driving her away. "If I never ... etc, you'd be home with the family keeping warm" I haven't quite deciphered the chorus yet, but at I get at least

If I never let you out of my door
Never ((would have)??

If I never kicked you out
Been so short
You'd be home with the family keeping warm.


The last verse makes it sound like he still has hope for working it out.
