| Faith No More – Superhero Lyrics
| 6 months ago
|
Literally about superheroes.
From marvel.com via https://www.songfacts.com/facts/faith-no-more/superhero:
Faith No More bassist Billy Gould, who grew up reading Marvel comics, told the website how the song came together. "'Superhero' actually just started from the sound of the song, where it has these pounding drums and it has like this throbbing kind of pulse, and we just called it the "Superhero" song," he explained. "Because, a lot of the ways we write we visualize things."
"Actually this is kind of interesting because we're probably a unique band in a way," Gould continued. "While we write music we're talking about chord changes and different things like that. What we do is we describe scenes together, and we can visualize the scene and the music kind of comes. We kind of make movie scenes for movies that don't exist."
"'Superhero' was one of those where it was definitely a superhero comic, I mean that was just the vibe of the song, and when Mike (Patton) came to me writing words about it, we were already calling it 'Superhero,'" he added. "So it's kind of like in the DNA; it's a comic strip." |

Apparently there's a "soft" but evident reference to "The Spanish City" but I can't see it?! I also don't know which Spanish City this is... I'm going with more soft than evident!
But it's about Per wondering if he was falling in love with his manager. And it made him think of Thin Lizzy. And he looooves Thin Lizzy. |

According to Per, this song is a 'reference-bonanza', from him trying many times to write a song like Iron Maiden's Wrathchild. But I think it's just another thinly-veiled Spidergawd song about Batman (like "No Man's Land"). Come on! "I am vengeance, I am the night... I am Batman"?! It's famous! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Rvb2LSzCyY |

The first Spidergawd song I ever heard, couldn't get it out of my head, they're now my favourite band! And they weren't on songmeanings at all, so I had to add this (and them).
Of yeah - and this song is about missed opportunities, probably. And it rocks. |

| Biffy Clyro – Little Hospitals Lyrics

This song is literally about squeezing babies into some weird kind of red lemonade. The next line about suckling lemons is an ironic direction to people who dislike red lemonade - they make lemon-faces when people use different ingredients for lemonade. Crazy, I know.
The last line is AWESOME. |

| Grant Lee Buffalo – Last Days of Tecumseh Lyrics

Great (short) song, referencing the also great (tall) Shawnee chief, Tecumseh, who died fighting against (and with) the white man.
According to Rhino Magazine: 'Although Phillips wrote a short acoustic number for Mighty Joe Moon called "The Last Days Of Tecumseh," the song refers more to the Oklahoma town–"the ground below the airplanes"–than the great Shawnee chief. "I think that was another way of trying to describe the transitional point from the ancient, the traditional, to the world that we live in now, and the pains of that transition."'

| Manchester Orchestra – I've Got Friends Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
I reckon it's about a guy who's about to propose to his girlfriend, but who then gets eaten by a bear, and when his girlfriend visits him at the cemetery, she summons his ghost, but the bear comes back and chases both of them and also sings a little bit, and then the ghost-guy finally gets to beat the bear, revealing that it's just a guy wearing a bear-suit.
Actually, it makes more sense if it's written from the bear's point-of-view (especially if he just wants to be friends with the couple...) |
