Jean Grae – Not Like Me (album version) Lyrics 14 years ago
These are the actual lyrics:

$1
Not $2 tips at open bar
Keep it that way
There's nothing wrong with partying
Get the drinks going

Oh
Who's that?
Is that your girl? You with her
She look like everybody else in here

[Chorus :]
C'mon
They're not like me
(That's a shame)
Baby bet you know they're not like me
And everywhere you go it's not easy
Just to come across a girl like Jean
Oh no

C'mon it's not likely
And everywhere you go they're not like me (So what's up)
And baby bet you know it's not easy (Uh huh)
Just to come across a girl like Jean
oh no (Got a light y'all?)

Part of my composure
Saw ya
Had to approach ya, move closer
Confidence or the courtesy of the mimosas
Framed perfect
Like a picture with the sharpest image
From the lips of a cherub cherry red
Henny breast
Let me guess

Queens, is ya?
See Jean can read by the lean
And the tilt of the cap in your drink, I'll refill that
I need some good conversation, love
These hood rats be making up the game
Plus they ain't even fully developed
Insane

See if we could start a challenge
And balance most delicate matters
Involving plans
Including sitting in carriages
Wait
Too far
Maybe we could shoot a little hoop
Or just chill on my stoop
I don't like a lot of hoopla

Me and you sedude deuces and spike juices
and stove some backwards roll backwards
And keep it that good
So write your name
Oldschool
Pen on the back
Now what's a good time? Tomorrow?
I don't stall
Holla back

[Chorus :]

You see I walk up different on 'em
Talk slang often
Bought dinner on Dutch
While most women do the wallet clutch

Never ask the what question
Make jokes interestin'
Wear more clothes and let they eyes do the undressin'
A little sarcasm, bar savage, tar addict
Argue about reasonable doubt and Illmatic
Car traffic eyin'
We can walk in summer laughing
Cry when they giggle
Split sides and curse
The magic that's in between us boy

Jean a fiend for the love-feeling
We crush dream and after lush green
And a sun shinin' and enough beach for a lifetime
Or maybe that's just mine

Poppin in at hathaway
Wandering gay and rewind
Play a little chess strip
see but nothing
I read a lot
Beam you a little sixteen or something
I cook well
sip on drinks and just chill
A malt liquor and MOP
Tell me what you feel

[Chorus :]

See we could be for life even
For nights freed and heavy and steaming
From polite greetin's to late at night face smashin
Taste passion and race plays baggage
my faith asking to place faith back in and maybe marriage
I hate slackers
Jean love to chill and lay out
Sometimes stay out

We'll find an open bar
I'm not impressed by payouts
So star, display out your cards
We can splay out on the top of cars
And pick the consolations
While playing the Best of the Bards y'all

Making me nod agreein
Patience is all I'm needing
Face it, I'm not your average girl
Or close to it even
Most original
Entranced by your physical plans
I've got a lot
But we could chill
It's all I ask
(it down)

She Wants Revenge – Someone Must Get Hurt Lyrics 15 years ago
These lyrics are all wrong...

It sounds sort of like a relationship that has gotten dull or repetitive.
She may want a purely sexual relationship, no strings attached.

The chorus in my head plays out where I can imagine an ambulance up the road
& He stares through her with hurt in his heart & an empty look in his eyes
She's paining & he'd love to take her pain away...
But she doesn't care
And she doesn't want him.

& Over & over again she hurts him
But as soon as she comes crying to him
He breaks and returns to her
For a short while they are good & happy
But it all comes crumbling down again
It's like a broken & he's sick of it
At the end he finally lets go, though it hurts him to leave.
He claims he wont be the one to be hurt, but it's BS.

Concrete Blonde – Bloodletting (The Vampire Song) Lyrics 16 years ago
The novel Interview with a Vampire was written in 1976 so it was around before the song came out, which was already established in a post by instigator. Debora is right on Johnette admitting it was inspired by the author.

I've also heard it was about a friend who contracted HIV, although I don't know how true this is. But the lyrics would fit. "You were a vampire and baby I'm the walking dead" and someone with HIV would definitely have a lot to think about.

Nirvana – Scoff Lyrics 17 years ago
I have no clue what it's truly about, and I'm not saying it is this, but I always think sexual abuse. Maybe I'm just really sick like that. "In your room, I'm not older" makes it sound like the man is much older than the girl he is molesting. He drinks to get rid of the pain, but it isn't enough, so he takes it out on the young girl whenever he's drinking. "In my face, it's not over" this sexual abuse occurs on a regular basis. "In your eyes, I'm not worth it" the disgust and broken trust by the victim.

However it can be about a lot of things. A broken heart, the way people may have scoffed at Kurt, rather than encouraging him. But when I hear it, I think of abuse.

Nirvana – Dumb Lyrics 17 years ago
My own interpretation of this song by such a beautiful song writer, R.I.P. Kurt.
I believe it's about feeling different and outcasted from society, from what most people view as normal.
He isn't that, but tries to fit in anyway. They could be happy without the drugs while he does them to keep him happy. The sun is gone, he is surrounded in a world of pain, yet there is still some sort of light in the darkness. He questions whether or not he's dumb or simply happy, because he can feel slightly good when living in such pain. His heart is broke, it doesn't have to be about love, but maybe it is. "I has some glue, help me inhale". It sounds like he's sniffing glue to get high, though by saying this I'll probably get harassed by hardcore Kurt fans. However it could be any drug you inhale. He is using the drugs to find his happy place. Now, this pat I never put much thought in while drifting away to this song

Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up

Maybe it's about dreaming and wishing and realizing how cheap the soul is. He doesn't want to dwell on it, so "wake me up" and return to more drug induced fun. Overall I think it's a positive song with hints of darkness. I adore it because it's an easier one of his to interpret, and having depression and falling into drugs, I can relate to it so much.

Now I see that floppy was hating on NoseDragon due to his interpretation. This is what poetry is about, how you yourself interprets it and why you can relate to it. Poetry is a statement, and you take on your own meaning of it. Also, the "I have a light part" I seen him ragging on, because NoseDragon mentioned marijuana. You do heat the spoon to melt the heroin, I suppose. Since heroin was his drug of choice. So it's not that ridiculous.
