| Alice in Chains – Shame In You Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song is very Zen. I believe it is about excepting suffering and the fact that we are all living to eventually die (the first verse), self awareness and taking personal accountability for our own actions and how we react to those around us (verse 2), how counter productive it can be to confront others about problems in life when we should focus on ourselves and how we dealt with the situations (verse 3), and finally working to change ourselves to end any negative patterns and find inner peace (4th verse). Otherwise we will "throw out" relationships and aspects of our lives we can't cope with, "blow up" because we can't handle the pressure of life, "hold in" our negative emotions to pretend we are ok to the people around us (show fine), lose our sense of direction in life (no signs), and eventually figuratively "grow blind" to everything around us. I love Layne's ability to write lyrics that can be interpretted in so many ways. This song is definitely one of Layne's best lyrical accomplishments, if not his best. |

| Alice in Chains – I Stay Away Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Ok people, let me break it down for you. This song was written by Layne, and I think it was about leaving on dysfunctional relationship with a pscyo bitch ex-girlfriend: "Yeah, I want to travel south this year Aaah, Woah, Woah Won't prevent safe passage here" I want to leave you, and you can't stop me. "Why you act crazy Not an act maybe So close a lady Shifty eyes shady" You're crazy. I can see it in your eyes. "Yeah, hey Yeah, tears that soak A callous heart" Your crying for show, but you don't really feel anything, cuz you're a bitch. "Why you act frightened I am enlightened Your weakness builds me So someday you'll see" You're scared that I'm leaving, but that only empowers me, because now I see you're not just a bitch, you are weak bitch. "I stay away" I'm going to stay the hell away from you, because you are crazy! Layne definitely puts it more poetically then I do. That's what I think this songs means, and I can relate it to many women in my life. |

He wants to break up with his girlfriend, because he isn't crazy about her, which hurts her. It's a tough decision cuz breaking up with someone always sucks, so he is torn like a ... dollar bill. |

I think ericab summed it up pretty well. It's about being with a girl and comparing her love to the high of drugs. Or its about doing drugs with a girl. Only Cracker will ever know. |

Ooh! It could totally be "Cyan eyed girl". Has anyone thought of that. And please stop saying its one thing because another random website with no more credibility than this one says so, unless its a quote directly from Beck himself. |

| Brad Sucks – Certain Death Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| It's about getting so depressed after a break up, you get so down, you contemplate suicide. But he can't do it, and instead wants his ex to recognize a change in him, for the best I'd assume. | |
| Home Video – Penguin Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
heathereve I think you pretty much nailed, but a there's a bit. He realizes he may have potential with out her (Am I made of bigger things/A body big as dreams) but still feels empty with out her. No matter what he does or how far he goes, he still needs her. He still wants to find her (in his bed, of couse). It's a pretty intense "I miss you" break up song. |

| David Gray – White Ladder Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I believe this song is about a break up, or breaking up in general. It seems to try to vaguely and metaphorically describe a relationship in the verses (thunder and war). I think its about how, after going through all these experiences and emotions, the people we loved can end up as nothing more than bodies with names to us. I think he's talking about failing in a relationship. They break up, and she ends up as not much more a body with a name he spent nights with. Love eventually disappears like a burning valentine. |

| David Gray – White Ladder Lyrics | 16 years ago |

These lyrics are wrong. The correct lyrics are as follows: White ladder Water and wine Forever crying Oh time Don't wanna fail tonight There's no rhyme or reason to love This sweet love White river Thunder and war How many time Oh no Don't wanna fail no more Ther's no rhyme or reason to love This sweet, sweet love To the night another body To the night another name To the night another valentine A burning flame To the night another body To the night another name To the night another valentine A burning flame Tall order Tremble inside Forever crying Oh my Yeah Yeah Yeah Dont wanna fail tonight There's no rhyme or reason to love This sweet, sweet love To the night another body To the night another name To the night another valentine A burning flame To the night another body To the night another name To the night another valentine A burning flame To the night another body To the night another name To the night another valentine A burning flame White ladder Water and wine Don't wanna fail tonight |

I think its about being the bigger person and forgiving someone who has wronged you. Think about it. A surprisingly upbeat topic for Staley, and an awesome song. I love this album! |

| An open relationship, or break from a relationship, where they reaussure their partners they'll wait for them. | |
| Home Video – Gas Tank Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
It's about a one sided relationship, and it being the other person's turn to reciprocate. He's getting tired of being the only one to give while she onle takes. |

| Ringside – Struggle Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I don't think the verses have any clear meaning, and may just stream be of consciousness. The true meaning may only be known by the writer. I think you just have to take in the over all theme: Live is crazy, like the lyrics in the verses, making life a... |

| U2 – Numb Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song is about desensitization and love being the only thing you feel. If you really read in it can be about so much depending on your interpetation, like is love a psudonym for sex, making it hedonistic? What is the desensitization due to? Drugs? TV? Religion? All of the above? Like any good artist U2 leaves it up to the audience to decide! A well written song! |

| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Soul to Squeeze Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| In so many words, its about explaining that you can't commit yourself to your "Soul to Squeeze", because first you need take a personal journet to clear your head (the bleeding is a metaphor for insanity, not literal), and vanquish some demons making you have some self destructive habits. Then you'll be ready to share your peace of mind and be coming all over her shores. | |
| Tom McRae – For The Restless Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This is about missing a dysfunctional relationship. Even though she was a train wreck, things sputtered out like cigarette ashes, and she was emotionally abusive*, he misses her. She haunts his dreams, keeping him awake. If he missing this horrible relationship, how can there be a god? *"Raised like a bruise" is a metaphor for being "turned into a bruise" probably mentally not literally. Nothing to do with child rearing. |

| Beck – Girl Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Hey I got a theory: What if the reason Beck hasn't confirmed the lyrics is because he wants us to interpreted them either way? Depending on the word the song's meaning differs drastically. "Cyanide Girl": Implies suicide, death, making the lyrics very dark. "Sun Eyed Girl": Implies that the girl, although surrounded by dark imagery, sees through and focuses on brighter things. I think Beck purposely pronounces the word so it could be either, leaving it up everyone to either see the glass as half full or half empty. I go with "Sun Eyed Girl". Eh? Did I just blow everyone's mind? |
