Tool – Die Eier Von Satan Lyrics 13 years ago
Cookies! aka the balls of satan. Love how they made it sound like a Nazi rally, really freaks your parents out the first time they hear it until you inform them it's actually a cookie recipe in german. anyone ever make the cookies?

Tool – Aenema Lyrics 13 years ago
By the way, isn't it "i'm praying for rain, i'm praying for tidal waves", not "praying for mayhem"? last i knew it was "praying for rain", which makes more sense than using the word mayhem. rain is cleansing, rain washes things away.

Tool – Aenema Lyrics 13 years ago
The incredible urge to be rid of unpleasant old L.A. California. Love this song as it can be applied to the majority of america in a way. I want to watch it all go down.

Tool – 4 Degrees Lyrics 13 years ago
because of maynard's previous writings, we are led to believe that this is a song about anal sex. the anus is supposedly 4 degrees warmer than the rest of the body (which may or may not be true, webmd could tell you). many of tool's songs are sexually charged so most of us assume that this is indeed about anal sex, just like prison sex is about either adult rape or child abuse.

Tool – 4 Degrees Lyrics 13 years ago
No one can hurt you but your own brain eh? Then why should anything ever be disgusting? So why should gay people care what your brain finds disgusting and furthermore why should they respect your insecurities? oooo, thinking time.

Tool – 4 Degrees Lyrics 13 years ago
It's about anal sex, which, believe it or not many straight men enjoy thoroughly, particularly when their female partner is willing to participate. This song is about persuading an individual to participate in anal sex.

Tool – 4 Degrees Lyrics 13 years ago
It's about anal sex. Seriously.

Tool – Eulogy Lyrics 13 years ago
Martyrdom in general or it could quite possibly be about Jesus (or even L. Ron Hubbard, as he really didn't have much to say). That's the joy of Tool, they leave you to make your own interpretations. I'm inclined to think it's more about Jesus though because of the line "get off your fucking cross" or perhaps the followers of Jesus and their hypocritical ways.

Pearl Jam – Bee Girl Lyrics 14 years ago
indeed, it is a blind melon reference and Vedder did a lovely job on the song. it is about fame causing your death. at the end of this song, on most CDs there is a hidden track called 4/20/02 and that song is about layne staley and his death due to fame and drugs.

this is easily their best song and an excellent tribute to Brandon Lee

Bush – Little Things Lyrics 16 years ago
i think it's about sex..."I touch your mouth
my willy is food"--well...we all know what a willy is. and the "little things that kill" could possibly be sperms...because many people find that pregnancy is more a less a death sentence (death to fun, death to youth). "i bleach the sky every night"...could be talking about masturbation. really if you read the whole thing with sex on the brain, it makes beautiful dirty sense.

submissions
Cat Stevens – Moonshadow Lyrics 16 years ago
i think perhaps it's about accepting the difficulties of life or dealing with a run of bad luck...which might be what the moonshadow is, bad luck. although i do like razajac's idea...

Type O Negative – (We Were) Electrocute Lyrics 16 years ago
hmm...about a relationship in which one person finds out the other was a complete boob and realizes they completely wasted a few good years of their life on that boob.

submissions
Cher – If I Could Turn Back Time Lyrics 16 years ago
a sad song about saying something that turned out to be the straw that broke the camel's back. we've all done these things...made someone leave us because we were dim enough to say something or do obnoxious and insulting.

submissions
The Killers – When You Were Young Lyrics 16 years ago
i believe it's about high expectations but having to lower them because reality becomes a pain in the ass. wishing for a Jesus but settling for a Peter. it may also be about an affair, if one watches the video that goes along with the song you get that idea. the man has an affair, the woman must play forgiveness. it may go as far as being about just marriage or a relationship in general.

submissions
Pearl Jam – Untitled (Live on Two Legs) Lyrics 16 years ago
well, i reckon it's about running away with someone you love because everyone else around you is bringing you down. this song has always reminded me of the movie "What's Eating Gilbert Grape". Just wanting to leave it all behind, but not wanting to go alone.

Gordon Lightfoot – The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald Lyrics 16 years ago
the worst way to die...death by the icy waters of Lake Superior. a lake that offers little hope if you fall overboard. "The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead" is very true, they never did find the bodies of the 29 crew members. Cold water makes bodies sink and who knows where they went to after that. Horribly sad.

submissions
Donovan – Lord of the Dance Lyrics 16 years ago
this is one of the weirdest songs about god and jesus i've ever heard, but it is quite a pleasant little ditty. i like how he refers to jesus as the Lord of the Dance. i'm an atheist and like this song...says a lot for Donovan and his great song writing skills.

submissions
Donovan – Catch The Wind Lyrics 16 years ago
a beautiful song. so bloody sad though. love lost, love rejected, or quite possibly, love never realized by the woman.

submissions
The Cure – Burn Lyrics 16 years ago
a beautiful song, so fitting for The Crow film. Definitely about love and love lost, no question there. This may be The Cure's best song.

Metallica – Whiskey in the Jar (Thin Lizzy cover) Lyrics 16 years ago
in the original song, Captain Ferrell is somewhat a bit of a seedy character. That doesn't come out in this version unfortunately. Molly was originally Jenny too. And in the original, the main character believes that his brother will come bail him out of prison. This version is alright, but certainly not the best, there's a great one by The Oddsods. This song wasn't meant to be a downer, it actually was quite a fast paced song to teach a lesson about drinking and stealing (but people usually drank along while listening to it). The Grateful Dead created a version of this that Thin Lizzy reworked. If you look on Project Playlist you can find a whole bunch of Whiskey in the Jar versions.

i agree with Pogues, excellent version of the song. Beats the poo out of the Metallica version (they killed it).

Queen – Fat Bottomed Girls Lyrics 16 years ago

The Smashing Pumpkins – Ava Adore Lyrics 16 years ago
infatuation and changing the individual to be exactly what you wish them to be. a deadly obsession perhaps...hmm..something like that. of course...it could just be random words all placed nicely together to make it seem like there's a theme to the song...i do that in poems, perhaps he did that with the song. it's a lovely way to mislead overly anal (the "i must know exactly what it means or i will never be happy!" people) listeners and give those with less brutal needs a chance to tack on their own meanings.

submissions
Nirvana – All Apologies Lyrics 16 years ago
well, kurt usually had songs that left people baffled as to what they meant, but i believe this one is about the craptacularness of marriage. being married to courtney love would make anyone dislike the whole idea of marriage. it could be a general look at it though. apologies having to be made by the man, even when he didn't really do anything wrong. also in the second verse, he may be talking about escaping the bullshit through drugs. for years i thought the line "aqua seafoam shame" was "ah/oh, deceitful shame" which made a little more sense than seafoam shame. but either way... and the last line i always thought it was "All we know is all we are" too...oh well... very sad little ditty. so...do any of you think some of these songs were a cry for help? i seriously think cortney murdered him (or had someone else do it). anyone else think the same?

Voltaire – Dead Girls Lyrics 16 years ago
oh the joys of necrophilia...the character in the story slept by a morgue, was arrested for lewd acts against a corpse (aka necrophilia), and the judge is telling the jury how sick he thinks it is. the character is making excuses as to why he prefers the dead. it's really quite a look at the sad view points of necrophilic individuals. many find that they can't acquire a living woman. (Most have mental problems stemming from the mother or an overly religious (usually christian) household.) many think themselves unattractive. others have been rejected and have never gotten over the rejection

"have you ever tasted love like this?
cool and smooth have you ever been accepted unconditionaly?
have you ever loved someone who didn't hurt you, didn't harm you?

There's no pain and there's no pressure
no humiliation
there's no fear and there's no shame
there's no pulse now is it so strange?"

and find it easier to have sex with the dead rather than face rejection again.

There are various cases of female necrophiliacs, but they are rare.

Some necrophiliacs can't be fully explained. Ted Bundy was a serial killer and sadist, but he often times would have sex with the bodies of those he killed. Other serial killers have done the same.
Most necrophiliacs are reasonably peaceful individuals. Serial killers seem to be the exception.

sorry i started rambling off there...just wanted give a little info on the subject.

Polaris – Hey Sandy Lyrics 16 years ago
that line really is "could you settle to shoot me"...if you break down the song in audio editing software, it's very obviously- settle to shoot me- and postpluto is correct in the meaning of the song. the second verse fits perfectly with that meaning. they of course had to make up some weird thing for the tv show because Nickelodeon didn't want to look as though they were supporting violence.

Type O Negative – Black no. 1 (Little Miss Scare-All) Lyrics 16 years ago
oh the fakeness of some "dark" people...Steele nailed it right on. when dying your hair and keeping up your facade interfers with the things you like to do and the real world, it's time to give it up.

Dave Matthews Band – Crash Into Me Lyrics 16 years ago
about the Julia Roberts thing...that's what Dave said the song was about in one interview...totally ruined the song for a good lot of people who heard that interview. of course according to previous posts on here...he's said it was about a few different things...musicians, oi.
