| Say Anything – Yellow Cat (Slash) Red Cat Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| great song with an amazingly simple & concrete diction that speaks so profoundly. As was said before, I think it's about having the view that life never changes, and how people never do anything about it. I'm 99% sure theres some deeper sort of purpose to this song - lyrically and musically - because I know that Max worked ridiculously hard on ..Is A Real Boy, although who knows; I found it personally relevant and extremely thought provoking. | |
| Local H – Bound For The Floor Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| very infectious song with very vague lyrics (that I think makes it so a much better song, & adds an element of mystery to one's subjective interpretation of the song) which all seem to point in some inexorable way to a feeling of enclosure; that we're trapped and "born to be down." | |

We're not concerned with the community aloofness Duke, we're animals, we just go where the most food is Lower the toast, most formal etiquette is useless Truth is you're equally expendable if spoon fed (Money money) Money is cool and I'm only human But they use it as a tool to make the workers feel excluded Like the shinier the jewel the more exclusive the troop is Bullets don't take bribes stupid, they shoot shit am I the only one who finds a good deal of truth in this? |

| Aesop Rock – Getaway Car (feat. Cage & Breeze Brewin) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
how come no one has commented this? Great song in my opinion. I think the "getaway car" is a metaphor for Aesop's rap career, a getaway from.. society perhaps? Heres a lyric that epitomizes for me what this song means: "get your doors darkened by the house of card carpenters who never thought a slave could be a sparticus and more, pencil sharpener with a resume for the carnivores who take important conference calls in corner office walls, still a buck is a buck and he punch numbers" ~ And also, "how you gonna pay the rent day job free? make rap records, matter of fact, thanks, peace." Showing how he'd rather be doing what he's doing now. Anyway, however deep and personal these lyrics might be, everyone will have their own subjective interpretation of it. Its things like that which make me appreciate music. Regardless, I thought I should comment on this great song... and you should too |

The great thing about music, or any kind of art, is in it's subjective and connotative meanings. The words Anthony sings here will mean infinitely many different things for each and every person. For instance, @jware39: I strongly disagree with your zealous interpretation. You translate almost every line into a monotonous drone of "God loves you," which really pisses me off. I personally find that here, AK's words are striking a more universal tone, transcending our platonic conceptions of humanity, and saying that WE are not the center of this "funny universe," and that in this anomaly of life, no one is really sure of the answer. I especially like the lines, "To anyone who’s listenin’/ You’re not born into sin," because recently, I've noticed many and many people seem to all believe humans are "naturally" flawed. Anyway, just my two cents, and to conclude: The greatest and most powerful lyrical works have a unique connotative effect on every person; as can be observed from all these interpretations. I personally feel (and hope) that this song, while commentating on our main religious institutions (specifically catholicism), in the end has an even deeper and more universally susceptible semantic value. |
