| Immortal Technique – Dance With The Devil Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Couple corrections: "She put the pipe down, but forever, yeah, she was sober" That's actually, "She put the pipe down, but for every year she was sober." "He build a reputation cause he could hustle and steal" Is: He BUILT a reputation cause he could hustle and steal. "Suggested raping a bitch to proof he was cold hearted" Is: Suggested raping a bitch to PROOVE he was cold-hearted." |

| Kanye West – The New Workout Plan Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
How is it that none of you even came close to the actual meaning of this song? Even Peachy wasn't very close. He was right - it is a satire - but it's a satire of gold-digging. What Kanye is saying is, "Hey, girls, if you work out to this workout tape you'll look so good wealthy men (like an NBA player) will want to date you, and you'll be set for life." The tape is a how-to for potential gold-diggers, and a satire of a culture that thinks a woman's worth is measured solely by her appearance - a bold statement for a rapper. |

| Sublime – Smoke Two Joints Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Jesus fucking Christ, you guys are completely misinterpreting these lyrics. They're not just about toking up and getting high - they're a criticism on people who all they do is get high. Sublime had nothing against pot, obviously, but just listen to the lyrics: "I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more." (I.e., I can't even get high without getting high first - known as satire.) "Daddy he once told me "son you be hard workin' man" and Mamma she once told me "son you do the best you can" but then one day i met a man who came to me and said i've worked good and i've worked fine but first take care of head" (As in, I now smoke pot ahead of doing anything - working, trying, everything.) Now, I'm not saying pot is evil or will ruin your ambition or anything, but dig a little deeper. Just because Brad references smoking two joints doesn't make this a weed anthem. |

| The New Pornographers – Letter from an Occupant Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Guys, I just had a brilliant idea reading this lyrics. Do you think that "You told me I could order the moon, babe/ Just as long as I shoot what I want," means that she can order anything, so long as she shoots what the food is she wants. For instance, 'You can order the high-end steak, dear, but shoot the cow yourself.' The unnamed guy could be telling her to get lost and do whatever on her own. What do you guys think? |

Actually it refers to her cocaine addiction - she goes to the bathroom in order to snort cocaine. The whole song is about drug abuse. Wait . . . Conor Oberst bulimic? What the f*ck? |

| Vampire Weekend – The Kids Don't Stand a Chance Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"Sled23" got it. The song is about how recruiters come to colleges and try to persuade kids to select a certain career. "Forty million dollars," "pure egyptian cotton," and "shiny, shiny cufflinks" are the enticements the recruiters use, showcasing their wealth. Hence, "The kids don't stand a chance" - they're mesmerized by the wealth and opulence of the lifestyle, and are drawn to it. |

| Guns N' Roses – Mr. Brownstone Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
All right, most of you got it. This song is about heroin, which should be ridiculously obvious, but apparently it isn't. As many people pointed out, Brownstone = heroin because heroin came in a thick brown clump. That's why browned = high on heroin. This is actually so well-known that used the phrase "an affair with Mr. Brownstone" has come to mean heroin. As you can verify on Rolling Stone Magazine here. http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/album/147650/review/5943771/sublime And maybe it's because the lyrics here are incomplete, but the song ACTUALLY describes heroin usage! The lines missing at the end are "Shoved it in the bindle and I shot it in the middle/ And it, it drove outta my mind." He's referring to shooting up heroin. Come on, guys. Who is actually arguing this? |
