| All that glitters ain't gold! Anything will shine under the moon, but he doesn't want material things, he just wants his woman to love him. Awh :) | |
| Tom Waits – Little Drop of Poison Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"I like my town with a little drop of poison" He likes things that a little bit twisted. He doesn't want a happy nice healthy life... it's more fun when everythings darker and more mysterious. |

I'd never even thought about it being totally about sex til I read this. Lol that makes me sound so dumb right :) It's just, the songs called 'Top Yourself' which is basically kill yourself, like favian said. How you gonna kill yourself? I thought it was about his ex being all dramatic and threatening to kill herself. And he was like 'nah, I don't care, go ahead and kill yourself, I know you won't really do it you just want my attention.' Guess I was really wrong lol. The whole thing about Meg and a sex tape... wtf??! Whatever :) But yeah, this is like a revelation to me... I can understand it when I sing along :) how dumb am I?! |

| The Raconteurs – Blue Veins Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
It's really really not about drugs... He's saying he needs her because she's always there for him through all the crap and all the times people didn't believe in him. So I guess that 'her' could be interpreted as heroin. But what proves this theory wring is that he says SHE needs him in her blue veins. It's obviously a girl. It's just a song about how much they both mutually love each other. He loves everything about her, even the blood that runs through her. Love is all about holding somebody in your heart... well you have blood in your heart, so that person muct be in your blood too. The girls happy because she's got him in her heart, and running in her veins. And he's the same. It's a good old happy love song, but they fact it's all about blood and viens makes it a little bit darker and twisted. I love it, I have to listen to it at least twice every single time I play that album. |

| Tom Waits – Blue Valentines Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Possibly my favourite song EVER :) Tom Waits is genius, he's a poet as far as I'm concerned. This song is beautiful. The way he sings it can't be beaten, his voice is perfect... he sounds just drunk enough to slur his words, but the parts where he suddenly goes higher and louder and his voice breaks a bit... it's like his heart breaking. He's a legend! | |

To me it's all about self-harm. Especially the second verse... it doesn't matter if it hurts, that's what he wants, he turns to face the pain and if he's gonna cut himself he's gotta face up to it and not waste it by ignoring it, he's gotta feel the pain. 'Tried explaining, done explaining' - he's tried to explain to people why he feels so screwed up but nobody understands, they just talk at him instead. The part; "I'd sharpen a knife and use it til bone made it dull"... just gives me shivers every time. I'm suprised not many other people have commented that it's self harm... to me it seems really obvious, but I'm probably wrong lol. There's other songs that Josh Homme has written that kinda seem similar, like Tangled Up In Plaid on Lullabies to Paralyze says; "Self-inflicted wounds, your gift, impeccable aim." And "I slipped. Didn't mean, didn't mean to do it that way." Anyway, I love this song :) |
