The Vines – Get Free Lyrics 14 years ago
woah man. looking through the comments from all the way back in 2002! saw the vines at bdo cos i couldnt be bothered going anywhere else, loved the concert so much, even without knowing most of the songs they played its easily one of my favourites, if not my favourite, he is just so into his music, even now! im so disappointed I missed the "height" of their career/their rise to fame, I would have loved to have been old enough to be concious of the hype and interested in them while they were "fresh" international hits, to have grown up with them uhhhhh so amazing

Why? – Gnashville Lyrics 15 years ago
my interpretation, some parts make so much sense to me and seem to be so relevant to how I think, but often that's what leads to be people being wrong.

sometimes i claim to know a guy but i can't tell you what his hands look like.
- we don't look at the little things in people, notice the things we notice about ourselves, claim to know and care for someone. the fact that we, for instance, look at our contour lines in our hands and memorize them, think about them, waste time on them, makes no difference, especially when dead. the entire song seems to be leaning towards death, I can't quite explain it here.

guess who's coming to dinner.

gnashville. never in the night.

never in the night when the knot grows tighter than fingers can untie
-clearly knot of rope to hang self
and all the last half dammed rivers have gone dry
does the cock crow thrice until someone is denied
or the morning comes
you wonder will you ever get your shit together
-will you ever work yourself out, make something of yourself, be the thing you know you can be, but no one else notices (such as the hands you notice and no one else does) you want to make these little things in yourself noticed.
what is that a leather sofa and a feather in an old fur hat
fake tat lost in a box of cracker jacks
practicing your plane wreck face in a first class lav

(that's what the ghost of someone's dad might say)

when they come calling, i won't go calm
-death, angels, grim reaper, either way a form of death calling
there is no palm or divine mitt
with which to hold one's pit
or seperate the human race from its enviroment
-there is nowhere we can be held (our spirits) no way we can be separated from our environment into something else (heaven, etc)
no scattered ashes loosely gather asking where the fire went
-even our own ashes wont care we're gone, wont ask where we are, I see the fire as either being the life of us, or the thing that lead to our final destruction. So, no one will ask what happened, why, it's too insignificant.
we're left with half truth psalms
in an indecypherable scrawl in some vague extinct language
ancient ink dull, almost vanished on some old brittle scroll
-years after our deaths, this generation, era's deaths, we'll only be a scrawl, our lives and what we collectively did will be written in almost faded ink, can't even read it all as it it's in an extinct language, vague so many details left out, even if you did something worth remembering, your story may be lost

(that's what the ghost of someone's dad might say)

There are giant gaps, but to write down my entire interpretation is jsut something Im not in the modd for now.

i didnt even think about that. i just figured he was saying you would be first to be insignificant, because of how he says your opinion which is of no consequence. that sounds right though.

The Horrors – Who Can Say Lyrics 16 years ago
i thought that this songs could possibly actually be saying he's breaking up with her because he doesn't think he's worth her, "i could never give you just what you deserve, another man would surely learn", and how despite this he doesn't know if it was the right thing to do, "maybe it's better now i've gone away
maybe it's not, oh who can say"
then the part about using the words, as they might just twist the knife, possibly the knife breaking ehr heart, i dont know, thatw as just my immediate thought, and the words being, "i told her i didn't love her anymore
she cried
and when i told her her kisses were not like before
she cried
and when i told her another girl had caught my eye
she cried
and then i kissed her with a kiss
that could only mean goodbye"

the verses with him saying how shes maybe beter off this way, how he knows she is, it all seems to add up to him leaving her for her sake.
then him saying "get away" is like him saying "leave me, let me get away, so i can get away" for some reason it makes me think of someone confused, someone trying to work things out and trying to be cold.

i realise that was a mess, a total jumble, i just said my thoughts as they came to mind hah.
please comment wiht your thoughts (:

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Red Right Hand Lyrics 16 years ago
wow..
haha, and to think i interprated this as a song about a pedophile..
hahahah.
but seriously.

'he'll wrap you in is arms and tell you that you've been a good boy,
he'll rekindle all of those nightmares it took you a lifetime to destroy'

and 'designed and directed by his red right hand'
directed as in... well you know.

'you feel like and insect'
well, that's pretty self explanitory.
self esteem tends to plummet when you've ben sexually abused.

and the money & car part i see as a bribe by him to make sure his victims stay quiet.

and so on.

but possible not.
just a thought.

the best interpretation so far.
i completely agree.

Why? – These Few Presidents Lyrics 16 years ago
i dissagree with the 'machinery of your throat' comment.

he speaks of no paved street being worthy of the person's perfect SCANDANAVIAN feet.
to be scandanavian is to be forgien to Yoni, and so to me the lyrics has always implied that the person's accent is rough, and throaty, almost like a machine ?

again, that is just my interpretation. i guess it could be a far cry from the real meaning. but there you go.

Why? – The Vowels, Pt. 2 Lyrics 16 years ago
I think that the lyrics are 'am i an example of a calculated birth to a star chart for clowns?' as opposed to the question mark being after birth. That, to me, makes more sense.

Through that lyric he would, to put it simply, be asking if his birth was a joke- which refers to the clown star chart.

that's my opinion, it never even occuured to me before looking up the lyrics that they may be two seperate sentences.
