| My uncle walked in on me listening to 'Aneurysm' one day and he said, "is he saying 'Kick me outta bed?'". | |
| Incubus – Privilege Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| In "Privilege," Brandon sees his homosexuality as a "gift" but it is rendered as an "enemy" by prevailing hetero norms. This "line" is the homosexual movement and the closeted homos that won't come out and find a "back door" (a euphemism for "ass'). He sees another person "in line dragging [their] feet" and this person has his "sympathy"-this is a man who has been partaking in regular anal sex, which causes one to walk funny to the point of dragging feet. Brandon is simply saying 'don't be ashamed, I know the pain you feel.' The line about "the man standing in front of me" is clueless and doesn't know that Brandon finds him highly attractive to the point of wanting to seduce him. Yet, the man is in denial about being gay. Brandon is "sick of wasting energy" on men that really are gay and just won't come to grips with it like he is now. Hence, he must find "a backdoor" and recommends that others to the same in order to enjoy the sexual joy he experiences. | |
| Incubus – Pardon Me Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| "Pardon Me" is a song about the welling homosexual feelings Brandon feels at 23, but he keeps bottling them up to the outside world, to the point of "spontaneous combustion." As a result, he will "burst into the flames." "Flames" has a homosexual connotation--homosexuals are referred to as "flaming" or "flamers." Brandon is simply saying he is going to come to grips with this lifestyle and "rise above" all of the negativity attributed to it in our culture. The bit about him "having a look in a book" is him looking at a gay porno mag where a guy is getting "fried" (a word for sexual penetration) in an area "up above his knee" (his anus). Brandon says, "now I can relate" because he feels those desires as a result of the sexual acts these men are partaking in, and lately he's been thinking of "combustication" (a made up word, but can be read as a euphemism for orgasm on a fellow male). Like all sexual acts we enjoy, it's a "welcomed vacation from the burdens of planet Earth" and the everyday troubles we encounter. | |
| Incubus – The Warmth Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| "The Warmth" is all about the warmth one feels during a blowjob. In the first verse, Brandon recounts a partner not blowing him right. He wants to "close his eyes and go numb" while this person "blows hard." It feels alright, but it pales in comparison to his bjs, hence the reason the person blowing him is referred to as a "cold wind." When Brandon returns the favor, he says "watch the warmth blow away." It's kind of a nickname he has-'The Warmth.' Brandon is saying "experience the Warmth before you grow old," meaning you haven't experience a bj of this caliber until you get one from him. He so is so well known for this, he doesn't know if he should "adhere to this new frontier" because it leaves a "trail of fear" that he won't be pleasured in return. However, he will "hold his head up high" and go to town. When he says "leave the air behind me clear" he means to leave his anus clear of any penetration. Brandon enjoys giving bjs so much he doesn't even want his partners to waste time on fucking his ass. | |
| Lynyrd Skynyrd – Red, White, And Blue Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
They should've made the lyric "I don't like you if you're Red, Black, or Queer, and if you don't like it then get the hell out of here!" That would've made it truly patriotic, in the Keeebler7 sense of the term. |

| Finger Eleven – Paralyzer Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
There's an alternate version of this song floating around out there. The singer wrote it as a response to the constant questioning of the tone of his singing voice. Here's the chorus: 'I'm not constipated, I just have to take a poo That's why I sing this way I've gotta take a poo!' |

| Green Day – Wake Me Up When September Ends Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
There is a version of this song with alternate lyrics floating around out there. Green Day recorded it in hopes to appease their more juvenile, Dookie-era fans. Here's a sample lyric: "Summer has busted ass, she laid a stinky in the bath, Wake me up, I've got a stomach cramp" |

| Nirvana – Stain Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I got the idea from right upstairs. And your point is not well taken. If you measure talent in terms of shredding, then Mustaine is better. But if you are like me, and measure talent in terms of songwriting and melodic, affective riffing that serves the song better, then Izzy is the man. For every decent song Mustaine threw down, Izzy had about an album's worth. He was the unsung hero of GnR. Axl and Slash were the spotlight hogs that got all the accolades. While Slash was off noodling in deep space nine and Axl was out womanizing and/or breaking faces, Izzy was putting it all together and pulling the rejects back into place. If Mustaine was in Izzy's position, he would have heroin shooting and coke snorting contests with Slash and Steven Adler. |

| The Replacements – Mr. Whirly Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Remember that episode of the Simpsons when Barney drinks the funky juice manufactured by the hippies, starts hallucinating, then drinks a beer and Pinky, his imaginary friend elephant, appears to kill off the other animal in the aforementioned hallucination? Well, if you do, you might have an inkling of what Mr. Whirly is about. Mr. Whirly is an imaginary drunken buddy of Paul Westerberg. The song itself chronicles a night of drunken debauchery in the life of Mr. Westerberg. The humdrum 'Strawberry Fields' riff that begins the song is indicative of Paul's mindset as he wanders into his favorite watering hole. As the night progresses, Paul becomes drunker, and kicks into party mode, as indicated by the shift to 'The Twist.' Then, as he reaches drunken bliss, his imaginary friend Mr. Whirly appears in the more relaxed 'Oh My Darling' section. He wants Mr. Whirly to be there, but he feels like he's too drunk at this point in time and feels like he will only be a disappointment in his company. He insists that he's alright, that Whirly doesn't have to 'follow [him] home,' but clearly Paul is drunk to the point of seeing his imaginary friend that only appears in this intoxicated state. | |
| Linkin Park – Crawling Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Chester wrote this song about a childhood experience in which he contracted Trombiculosis, or chiggers as they are more commonly referred to. He was very confused when the bites began to appear on his body, and felt an overwhelming sense of alienation as a result. The "crawling in my skin" refers to how chiggers burrow their way into your body, creating "wounds that will not heal" (a bit of hyperbole on Chester's part, but everything is the end of the world when you're a kid). The outbreak that Chester encountered seemed to be quite bad, rendering his body undesirable to look at in the mirror. Because he was so young, Chester was uneducated about what chiggers were and that they are quite easy to clear up with the proper topical medication. Instead, he lived in a confused state because of his temporary condition, and believed that it was something he would live with for the rest of his life. Although Chester got the right medication to clear up the chiggers after finally revealing his plight to his parents, he was left with bodily scars as a result of scratching some of the bites until he bled. Thus, he gives us one of his first brushes with depression and alienation as a result of parasitic insects that hide in the grass, and latch onto unsuspecting children that are trying to enjoy their playtime. | |
| Linkin Park – In The End Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| It's pretty clear that a good part of Linkin Park wants to be black in order to fully embrace the culture and rich heritage that comes along with it. That's why Shinoda "designed this rhyme" in order to get a better understanding of what being a black person in our modern society must be like. It has taken blacks a lot of "time" (a reoccurring theme in this song) to be seen as equals in this world. However, blacks continue to to face discrimination and hard feelings from others despite the recognition of their equal value--"it doesn't really matter how hard you try"/"I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't even matter." The aforementioned lines speak of the alienation that blacks continue to feel. This is all a result of white people that wish to bring things back to days of slavery: "despite the way you were mocking me/ acting like I was part of your property." However, the speaker in this song knows that "things aren't the way they were before" in those days of immoral treatment. He follows this statement with the "you wouldn't even recognize me anymore" line to indicate that blacks have become so integrated through miscegenation that it is nearly impossible to identify one on the basis of skin color in today's world, thus, rendering all attempts at racism as illogical. | |
| Nirvana – Aerozeppelin Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| "How youth can be such sheep and do what everybody else is doing..."--That is precisely what everyone on here is doing in their attempt to interpret this song. They are all agreeing on the same exact meaning. Well, I interpret things differently, and I'm putting it out here for others to see--you can disagree all you want on the accuracy of my claims, but I'm offering an alternate reality and context to the song to make my interpretation more entertaining. I don't want to come on here and hear everyone's overly serious observations about songs that, Kurt said it himself, have no clear message or meaning. Kurt found it funny that people tried to over-interpret the meanings his songs, pre-In Utero. My interpretations are meant to mock the people that are too serious and overvalue their pretentious insights, which is exactly what Nirvana was doing. Kurt would be proud. | |
| Soul Asylum – Black Gold Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song is about white supremacy, and a pretty disgusting endorsement of it. The song longs for the days of old when blacks were subservient to the white man. The 'black gold' is the black man's labor being exploited for the benefit of the capital gains of whites. The first verse gives an image of a seemingly meaningless fight between two kids on a playground. However, the first chorus summarizes what is happening in this fight--it's between and white and black boy/man, on both a literal and figurative level. The speaker in the chorus that is handicapped and wants to go for a ride is speaking of lynching. Although he is handicapped (perhaps caused by a black man), his hateful pride still burns and propels him to participate in these acts of intimidation to suppress blacks. The second verse refers to the golden age that the speaker remembers, when blacks were segregated. The second chorus then refers to the black man as a 'soldier,' however, this is a 'white fight,' and therefore, he has no place in it. The 'going for a ride' line here can be thought of as when lynch mobs would tie blacks to their vehicles and drag them through the street. The 'feel some pride...' part speaks of the sadness propelling the speaker to commit these hateful acts--the sadness is at seeing blacks being treated equally. The 'mother do you know where your kids are tonite?' line is a mocking reference to the possible kidnapping and maiming of several black children by the speaker. The final verse calls for this hatred to be adopted by the white children of today--it will give them 'something to do' and feed their hateful hunger. The final two lines is the speaker reflecting on when 'this spot' used to be a much more racially pure place, free of the tainting presence of blacks. A very horrific song indeed. The fact that it got so much radio play in the 90's is quite offensive to much of the unsuspecting public. People always speak of hidden meanings in songs--voices that are played backwards insinuating evil acts. Well, the hate is usually as plain as day. Dave Pirner should be tried for hate crimes for some of the horrific acts he endorses. |

| Finger Eleven – Paralyzer Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I can answer that for you. They are too popular in my opinion--another generic, testosterone-fueled excuse for a band. Really, the only bands more popular than this garbage is shit like Nickelback and Linkin Park--all of which are in the same genre of suck. I don't know what else you want for them. They have the constant radio play, sell out pretty big venues, have gone platinum, make millions of dollars, etc. The only other thing I can think of is erecting a monument in Times Square to honor how fuckin brilliant they are. Or, we should just award them a Nobel Peace prize. It would make sense. Several war criminals have been rewarded that lauded prize. Why not give it to a crappy rock band led by a constipated, misogynist lead singer that makes music for people to fight to in bars? | |
| Finger Eleven – Paralyzer Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Hey, there's someone for everyone...Some people are into being smothered in poo while copulating, others get off seeing little kids nude...We live in a pretty sick and disgusting world, and Finger Eleven (Little Boys) cater to that overpowering deviant behavior | |
| Nirvana – Aerozeppelin Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Kurt was asked to use one of Nirvana's songs for a Burger King ad at the height of Nirvana's fame. They wanted to unleash an ad campaign targeting the dissatisfied Generation X'ers that were coming of age by stylizing their product as 'edgy' and 'angsty.' Kurt responded by penning 'Aero Zeppelin' instead. He didn't want them to use any of the songs on Nevermind, and opted to give them a different tune. The lyrics address consumerism, specifically what Burger King and other fast food chains were trying to sell. He states that 'all the kids will eat it up if its packaged properly' as a stab at how these corporations can glamorize awful food and sell it to the masses as something 'cool' that everyone is eating. There is also a variation in the same line not mentioned in the above lyrics. Kurt says 'all the kids are eating out,' meaning that this generation is always on the run getting food and not making meals at home the old fashioned way. This hints at the alienation that comes in the modern family, not paying attention to the kids and having the meaningful dinner conversations of previous generations. Fast food retailers capitalize on this flawed familial system and Kurt was sticking it to Burger King by handing them this song for use in their commercials. However, BK rejected Kurt's submission, and reacted bitterly to 'Aero Zeppelin' upon first hearing it. | |
| Nirvana – Heart-Shaped Box Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song was written by Kurt for Frances Bean. It's a very poetic reflection on the joy she has brought him by coming into this world. Although some of the imagery is rather morbid, Kurt wanted to capture the very gruesome, vivid details of child birth. The verses reflect on the overall experience of his daughter coming into the world. The chorus is an outburst of joy and emotion by Kurt at what has happened--the lyric is 'Hey! Wait! I got a new COBAIN!' and not 'complaint' as everyone seems to think. Kurt is sticking it to the world and saying he has a new family heir to his legacy. The 'forever in debt to your priceless advice' is his acknowledgment of Courtney talking him into going half on a baby. |
|
| Nirvana – Stain Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song was written by Kurt about one of his favorite guitarists, Dave Mustaine--the chorus is actually 'I'm Mustaine,' not 'I'm a stain.' Kurt was disappointed in Metallica firing Mustaine many years back, but understood it was a result of Mustaine's apathy towards the creative process and drunken/drug fuelled antics. He recognized Mustaine's talent, and was angered that he blew his chance in such a good band. Mustaine was too busy getting drunk and partying to 'read' or 'draw'--the essential parts of being a great artist. He was also so high on cocaine all of the time to do much of anything--"and he never sleeps cause he's got bad blood..." Even though Mustaine went on to form the successful Megadeth, Kurt thought he would've better fulfilled his artistic potential in Metallica. Thus, he titled the song "Stain" as a comment on the undesirable mark Mustaine's actions left on the rock community, both by squandering his chances in Metallica and by creating the far inferior Megadeth. | |
| Nirvana – Beeswax Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Also, I forgot to add that the words, aside from the "Heavyweight clash!" line, are all gibberish. Kurt did this intentionally. He submitted the song with a note indicating that the words are completely gibberish, and are meant to express the intensity and melody of the song. He wished to rewrite the words to coincide with whatever wrestler adopted the song as his entrance music. | |
| Nirvana – Beeswax Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
you are all wrong...he definitely says "Heh, heh, Heavyweight clash" at the end of the first verse/beginning of the first chorus. The reason being is that Kurt wrote this as a wrestler's potential entrance music. It has a very intimidating/menacing vibe to it--the type that any wrestler would be pumped to come down to the ring to (most specifically, a heel). I heard he submitted this song to the WWF for consideration. Kurt was a huge wrestling fan, and hoped that he could contribute an aggressive number for use by a wrestler. Sadly, wrestlers don't have a decent taste in music, and would rather use Limp Bizkit or Metallica songs as their entrance music. It remains unused to this day, sitting amongst the other unused songs in the WWE vaults. |

| Nirvana – Aneurysm Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
First of all, the lyrics on here are wrong, and all of the interpretations are therefore wrong. It's not 'Come on over...,' it's 'Come on Loder...' as in MTV's Kurt Loder. At the time, Cobain was indifferent to all of the media attention Nirvana began to get, specifically from MTV. Cobain uses Kurt Loder to represent MTV, and his love/hate relationship with the company. On one hand, they assisted in helping Nirvana achieve massive fame, but at times it gets on Cobain nerves. The 'love you so much it makes me sick' line states this. Cobain also references a time when they visited the MTV studios to do an interview with Kurt Loder. The band was killing time, waiting to 'shoot the shit' with Loder, and started playing a game of Twister. They got Loder in on the game, and he was contorted to the point of frustration--'Come on Loder and do the twist, overdo it and have a fit.' The chorus epitomizes Cobain's indifference to this fame. While these lyrics say 'Beat me out of me' (Cobain recognizes the part of himself that likes this attention from MTV, but realizes that it could be potentially disastrous), Cobain also says 'Beat the enemy,' meaning the corporate world, represented by Kurt Loder and MTV. The 'she keeps it pumping straight to my heart' is an sardonic stab at the network playing all of the videos that are supposed to affect Cobain deeply. |

| Manic Street Preachers – Bag Lady Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
hmm..."William's Last Words" is the last track on the album, but I look at "Bag Lady" as being the true final thought on the album. The Manics know this, and by making it a secret song, it's the final statement on Journal for Plague Lovers and takes the album out on a high note. I see it as a testament to Richey in his own words. He has "let (him)self out" in so many ways on paper and in words that it has "ruined" him. There really is not anything else he can say or do to make a difference because people will continue to be vain and self-absorbed--our culture is built on materialism, a motif in much of Richey's writing. "To be morally good, are we ready to love?" is Richey saying that in order to be truly "good" we must "love" but the kind of love people are taught to value, through holy books, romance novels, love songs, etc. are all "a devil pretending to be a god." "Walking I feel I follow mirrors that make sense to me"--Us as humans (Richey included, he has always admitted he is just as guilty of being vain) constantly validate our views opinions and look into "mirrors" that comfort us instead of questioning ourselves and digging deeper. In order to be "morally good" we must let go of this sense of "love" that we have grown attached to, which is all a product of dogma and materialism. "Love's written on paper, and paper burns," "You cover illness with flowers, and flowers die," "eternity is not sunrise"---these lines all mean a similar thing metaphorically. They all represent some type of beauty ("love," "flowers," "sunrise") that is not eternal and will eventually "die" or "burn." All of these infatuations and sense of love eventually crumble and die. All in all, I see it as Richey coming to a conclusion within himself. He has let himself out in his words for all to see, and it has not brought him the sense of love he has sought. Perhaps he is in fact "not dead," became fed up with his celebrity, and just moved on. |

when i first heard this song, I immediately thought "oh man, Disturbed fell in love with the Franz Ferdinand record and are now trying to spice up their beaten too death nu-metal sound" whoever thinks the singer's voice is sexy must get wet at the sound of a constipated grown man...maybe I should cut out the fiber in my diet and I'll start getting laid more often |
