| Modest Mouse – Satin in a Coffin Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
First, this song has nothing to do with organized religion, that's an ignorant statement, not every good musician hates religion. There's not even any way you can get that from this song, and as far as the whole "God" line, its an expression, don't be silly. I think it's about how we go on living our lives in neglect of whats going to happen to us, then complain about it later, I.E = Soda. Simple, yet, in no way shape or form is soda good for us, its toxic, its basically slowly committing suicide yet every day we look past that fact and we do it anyway, later on we take diet pills to lose weight to make us healthy, when its really not. "Now the blow's been softened, Since the air we breathe's our coffin" - I feel like what Isaac is saying here is that we are just used to killing ourselves, I.E = Cars, trucks, boats all that stuff is pollution, pollution = Cancer, everything = out to cancer, but the "Blow" Of cancer is softened because we are so used to it. Further, nature is becoming a threat too, I.E pollution again in the water, hence the line, "Well, now the blow's been softened, Since the ocean is our coffin." - We make here another excuse for our neglect, its polluted, we get all sorts of diseases from spoiled fish from pollution again, I'm not saying pollution is what he is talking about, it's just an easy explanation. This, I feel, is where Isaac seals the song up in summary "Often times you know our laughter Is our coffin ever after And you know the blow's been softened Since the world is our coffin" Here again he says, blatantly, that our joy, I.E = Soda again, kills us. But that fact is "Softened" since the world will kill us any way. Here's where he gets angry, "And now the blow's been softened Since we are our own damn coffins Well, everybody's talking about their short lists Everybody's talking about death!" I feel he's shouting out, bluntly, shut the fuck up already, we do this ourselves then complain. You can really feel his enthusiasm on the subject when he raises his voice on the line "Since we are our own damn coffins." -And that, is my interpretation. :) feel free to "Constructively!" Criticize me. |

| Streetlight Manifesto – Down Down Down to Mephisto's Cafe Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| You guys are looking into this way way way too much, what he is saying is written right there in the lyrics... He's saying if there are twenty million(exaggeration) different religions out there, how can you be so sure on one? and why would it matter? If there is a heaven and hell the only thing you have to do is lead a good life, have "kindness" in your heart and that should be enough to get to heaven, nirvana whatever the fuck you believe in, and that should be enough, and if its not, then he doesn't think it's worth it to change himself for anyone, god, or any of these two faced people that do believe in something. | |

| NOFX – August 8th Lyrics | 16 years ago |

In "Heavy Petting Zoo" there is a song called 8th August, what does it mean for you this day? This is pretty funny. I wrote this song about Jerry Garcia dying, cuz I fucking hate the Grateful Dead, but it turns out I had the date wrong. He really dies on August 9th. Whoops. I guess I'm lame. -FAT MIKE that was taking straight from the nofx website go on q&a about page 10 11 or 12 and look for the question.... so i guess that answers the question... |

| Silversun Pickups – Well Thought Out Twinkles Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| It's a shot into the dark but this is what i get out of it... It's about how everyone is always like, "Oh the world is going to end!" and in reality nothing happens and everyone just "goes inside" and forgets about it until the next "Apocalyptic Views," and it's not really our decision, "Who are we to be promising we'll be leaving shortly." that is what i think it is, pretty straight foward if you read the lyrics... | |
