| Man, how can so many people get this wrong. It's "You don't wanna PAY, then never say, but don't call us the liars." | |
| Faith No More – Naked In Front Of The Computer Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| This song is about computers. It is also about how they mess up our social lives. "My box is full, and my mouth is full, and my life is full, and now my memory's full". If no one got this yet I'm surprised. My inbox is full, my mouth is full of things to say, my life is full because I have a computer, and now my hard drive is full. Basically the rest of the song goes on about how computers keep our lives "dumb and hot" because we can be anyone behind the veil of anonymity, and even without it we talk to our friends in different ways and perhaps behave as if we are younger, or something we're really not. In short the internet saturates our behaviors until all that left of us is two characteristics: "dumb and hot". | |
| Taproot – Facepeeler Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| The meaning is pretty simple. It's about having delusions of someone attempting to kill you, and in the end death is "self-inflicting" (hence the name "Facepeeler" as elaborated by the metaphor "my skin's a lie". He is peeling his own face off.) It's probably just based on the feeling one gets from being alone for a long time (like a "disgrace" and like they're going crazy) with nothing more than a psychological thriller twist-cliche hyperbole added in for kicks. | |
| System of a Down – Nuguns Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| It's about underage sex being a personal crime moreso than a societal one. It's pretty screwed up. The little boy has sex with the little girl and then finds out she's pregnant and shoots her. But there is a wider meaning, because "nuguns" refers to "new generation" and has nothing to do with guns. So I suppose "crime" simply has a double meaning of personal and societal crime. I guess it's just SOAD showing their disgust of the new generation as far as underage sex and the choices youths might make therefrom. And the part "from the old gods, to the nuguns" shows their criticism of both "generations" in regards to religion (Christianity) and sex (the rhyming metaphors are two extremes, thus no middle ground). | |
| Faith No More – Mark Bowen Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Just gonna say this is not about an angry relationship between one of the band members, it's merely a clever twist to a dramatically spiteful song. All the power is built up in a negative way throughout the song, and by the end, when you get the twist, "Not like Mark Bowen..." all that powerful negativity is reversed to reflect him in a positive light. One thing I like about Faith No More is there's actually poetic power in the lyrics, even before Mike Patton joined the band. I gotta admit some of the songs I'm working on lyrically draw on FNM inspiration. "You're in the depths of hell/And I think that's swell/And I hope you get well". These lines have such happy-go-luckiness with undertones of horror and hatred... I love it. | |
| Slipknot – New Abortion Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Yeah I think the binary code part is referring to the control of law and order and society in general making dichotomous decisions; especially seeing as the next line is "execute me!" | |
| Slipknot – New Abortion Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I agree I think this song might have a meaning or allusion to the deaths of aborted fetuses coming back as some fucked up monster, at least in its imagery. | |
| Epica – Mother of Light (A New Age Dawns, Part II) Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| At first I thought it was about a relationship / the loss of a loved one that the subject of the song regrets losing so much and inwardly feels bitter "I am selfish and not worthy... to think of, even die for". However, it seems to be a bit of a riddle. The part "So do you know the way I feel, or should I give up my belief? / You're the lock I've never opened, 'cause I threw away the key / I'm enclosed within my own thoughts / That will never set me free". This part seems to say that rather than a relationship, she's held on to a way of thinking and another way of thinking is becoming apparent to (her)and she feels like all this time she's been lost in her own thoughts betraying it. Hence "Reality's sometimes stranger than fiction" describes her confusion at how the rest of the world seems to be understanding and evolving something she never morally agreed with. However, as soon as the line "Serenity is taking over all I am", there is a change of perspective: she has gotten over her suffering to the fact in her mind that she has betrayed others' beliefs and now she realizes she has only been suffering because of what society/the world impresses on her as righteous. She realizes against popular opinion the "belief" she always rejected has caused treachery and therefore is not just. In the end she is just helpless anyway because she is alone in her beliefs because they're so damn vague lol j/k. The point is being a martyr for your beliefs against society when society's beliefs are clearly corrupt and are harming rather than helping the world. | |
| Linkin Park – Esaul Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Sadly I cannot edit, But in verse 2 where it says "Don't wan me to say this" 'wan' is a typo of 'want'. Sorry about that. | |
| Linkin Park – Esaul Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Ok here it is, the correct lyrics of "Esaul" from the "Three-Song" Demo (1999). The ones posted are not correct. I hope you will all find these make much more sense anyway. After making sense out of these lyrics I really love this song a whole lot more. Now I may have made a couple small mistakes, but as far as I can tell right now this is all correct (this is my own interpretation). VERSE 1: Writing with a head full of buckets of red And what I said still stuck in my head But still misled thinking the things I do Would make you never wanna come back When in our thumbtacks you could never run from that Being trapped in this with you, Something that I never wanted to do But through it all, you got to see The world I want to be, Is over the pen again, letting it outta me, In the center of the day and the dream, Seein all my thoughts getting’ lost in between Realize it was not the way that it seems, And the killing and the killer with a head full of screams. CHORUS I wanna live in another place Where no one can say that I live for them (Jealousy is not meant to be for me) I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy, A place for my head. VERSE 2: We’re gonna be crushed when it all falls apart Knowing that I’m hollow, hoping that you won’t know The strain it puts to me, seeing what you’ve done and consequently I’ve run away, just hidden again, within the boundaries Of the nameless, don’t wan me to say this, But you’re draggin’ me down, lost in the chaos, bein’ tossed around. PRE-CHORUS Singin’ again to myself, a head full of hectic, Hope that some day you’ll regret this Everything’s the wrong place the wrong time, addict to the panic of my confine. CHORUS: (Repeat) BRIDGE: You, try to take the best of me, go away. You, try to take the best of me, go away. You, try to take the best of me, go away. You, try to take the best of me, GO AWAY! You! Try to take the best of me! Go away! You! Try to take the best of me! Go away! You! Try to take the best of me! Go away! You! Try to take the best of me! Go away! CHORUS: (Repeat) BRIDGE 2: Get! A!way! OUTRO: (Same as PRE-CHORUS) |

| Taproot – Myself Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I believe it is "I need a better way of life for myself" instead of "blindfold myself" and it's not "Over, enter through space's time" it's "Over matter through space's time" believe me on this one, I just listened to it, and I once figured out the lyrics to the Chaka Khan song "Back in The Day" for my Funk class long before anyone could figure out the lyrics and put them online. (I don't think anyone has yet, maybe I'll put em up someday). | |
| Linkin Park – She Couldn't Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think it's "few know you're not alone." instead of "you know you're not alone." Listen real hard and you can hear a "f-". | |
| Linkin Park – Blackout Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| To add to that, I wanted to say the sexual struggle could be a metaphor for Japan's struggle with the U.S. during WWII. Or maybe it's just blatantly describing Japan's intentions to "get inside" the U.S., or U.S.'s intentions to invade Japan, either one, innuendos aside. | |
| Linkin Park – Blackout Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| This is obviously about more than just a relationship. The whole album is about WWII, so I think it's about the detonation of the atomic bomb in Japan and the moments right after. The lyrics in "Burning In The Skies" and just the title of "Fallout" also seem to carry meaning about the nukes and Japan. But Shinoda's line "Floating out as colors fill the light, we look up from the ground in fields of paper white, floating up you pass us in the night, the future gazing out a past to overwrite." directly seems to be describing the bombers passing by, as a nuclear explosion lights up the "fields of paper white." The part "No you'll never get it inside, you push it back down, blackout, blood in your eye" is something I can't really relate to the rest of the song... it just seems like a sexual struggle ending with a black eye, but I thought "Blackout" itself had something more to do with the detonation of the atomic bombs. So I can't really make sense of this song by itself, but this is a concept album so it is meant to be critiqued and understood as an overall album, not song by song. | |
| Bauhaus – Crowds Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| YES. Exactly you hit the mark on that one my friend. That is the deepest thing about this song that I love. After being familiar with the title, "Crowds" I thought maybe it's about a phobia of crowds (What do you want from / of me) I think even more cleverly, Murphy could be combining that as a sort of "gothic" theme with the subject of his fickle fans. Reading these comments though taught me a lot about this song and it seems a lot more powerful to me now. | |
| Apocalyptica – S.O.S. (Anything But Love) (Feat. Cristina Scabbia) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Lol Crooner said "Curtesy" lol, like curtsy, I think he meant courtesy. I know how that feels though I hate it when people just act like "I'm right you're wrong" instead of respecting that you think you're right. Makes me wanna punch them in the face. And yeah the Crooner's comment did seem pretty fucked up and misogynistic, but I think what he was trying to point out was that was the feeling the song was trying to present, not that it's right. Still that would be over-analyzing, I take the stance with the more common interpretation being right. Respectfully. | |

| Lady GaGa – Alejandro Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I knew it. It's the line "Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch, just smoke my cigarette and hush" that gives it away. | |
| Sevendust – Heart in Your Hands Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
"...to help you release from all the fear that you have inside, from all the abuses" I think this line shows that this song is about an abusive relationship, but from whose side in the song it is hard to tell. |
|
| Faith No More – Jizzlobber Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think what opaldrake said is most close to correct. Someone said later that Patton wrote this about his fears of jail; which by analysis of this song probably have to do with never being able to make love to a woman again. I don't see anything about rape throughout all of it. "They will sum it all up in a sentence a verdict made by those who know I'm willing to make a commitment I'm willing to make love to concrete" I think there should be a colon at the end of the second line, because the first two lines seem to be about his prosecutors and the making love to concrete part seems to be about his interpretation of the words of "those who know." Basically, the way he sees his commitment is that he will have nothing to make love to but concrete. "Smiles Bruises Smiles Bruises Bars in the womb" This is expressing Patton's self-assuredness waxing and waning, or him having on-and-off trouble with authority as the days count down until he ends up in jail; "bars in the womb." So his fear is probably, most realistically, never being able to have intercourse with a woman again. The next line seems clearly to me about masturbating, in a jail cell. "I hide my dirty minutes under the dirty mattress and they are making me itch. My time is spilt milk." "My skin is a layer of soot I'm spending my days scrubbing" He's trying to wash away the shame of masturbating, But no matter how hard he washes, he still feels dirty (as someone else said) "I'm trying so hard to act like nothing happened (no one left to blame) I'm trying so hard to find that fresh clean smell (no one left to blame) I think this is where he begins to mix up his uncleanliness with the intensity of his actual crime. "I'm trying so hard to act like nothing happened" and "no one left to blame" seem to hint at this. "Cruel words sleep above me mounting and teasing" OK, this line is the only one which for me slightly relates to rape. They could be his own confused conscience teasing himself or there could actually be someone sleeping above him, and mounting and teasing could refer to rape. Maybe it's the superficial side of his fear. (or maybe he really was raped, if he even went to jail, who knows) "I am what I've done I'm sorry...sorry..." He feels as though he's being punished for or by, not being able to have a woman, his only pleasure is masturbation etc. In this way he feels like he's learned his lesson "I'm sorry, sorry.. etc cue the organ music, he's come to an epiphany, he's come to terms with himself, he's sick of being this; ironically it probably has nothing to do with his actual crime in reality. (I believe the organ music represents his inner-apocalypse, the apogee of his inner fear; it's hell to him). |

| Fun Lovin' Criminals – All My Time Is Gone Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think every other line he says, "So forget it. I have the music in my head." during the chorus. | |
| Bush – Headful of Ghosts Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think it's something like being discontent around his family and only feeling happy around his (girlfriend). "where is my head where are my bones" makes me think of he's feeling lost, and "at my best when I'm terrorist inside" seems to mean that he's holding a lot of anger inside. The American weddings probably means everyone around him is celebrating and happy while he isn't. | |
| Killswitch Engage – Rose of Sharyn Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Yeah according to the Wikipedia stuff, nothing about Jesus being called Rose of Sharon; but I have not read the bible so personally I wouldn't know. However, I'm sick of people assuming songs are about "Jesus" or a "she" because this says nothing whatsoever about either. It's quite obvious that "Rose of Sharon" is used quite commonly in poetry and verse, and overall this song is very vague: all they really imply is the loss or being apart from a loved one. There is no death, woman, or Jesus implied. It's a very simple song. | |

| I think it's about a whore who falls for trends and fads and never has any real love (a generalization for people like this). | |
| Splashdown – Mayan Pilot Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think this is about a universal love affair; a word of encouragement coded in ancient history to break away from simple desires and find the secrets of the universe... but hell I can never understand any of the songs Melissa Kaplan writes. | |
| Bush – Inflatable Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Whether or not the lyric is almost taken from the Pixies, I would see it as more of a Pixies tribute than an insult to the Pixies, especially seeing as they're Pixies fans. Sad to hear that about the minimal airplay, this song is a genius original rock song it should be top ten right now. | |
| Bush – Inflatable Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| "Inflatable" refers to caring so much for someone else you will go out of your way, or "inflate" for them. "you push me so far inside" implies that the "you" in the song lets him down so much that he is forced to resign back within himself. It's sort of about the sway between selflessness and self. And the song isn't entirely dismal; there are still times when she's faithful to him. BTW these lyrics are wrong; pisses me off. The ones in the link posted above are correct. And this song rocks, very original, the tune and the lyrics go together so well. | |

| "Water grey" the way I heard it was "water craved," which makes more sense. In fact, I just listened to it, it's "water craved." He just enunciates really softly. | |
| Linkin Park – Hands Held High Lyrics | 14 years ago |

"With hands held high as the ocean opens up to swallow you." This is a line about suicide; but what connection does it have to the rest of the song? |

| Dead By Sunrise – In The Darkness Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It comes through to me to be about two lovers surviving in the "darkness" which probably represents suffering of the world around them. Chester mentions lines of both joy and suffering when with the "you" of the song, in the "darkness." The martyr part is about either through joy or suffering lover gives Chester faith, to survive/trust in their love in the "darkness." That's my take on it. |

| Faith No More – Anne's Song Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think this song was the best of the Introduce yourself album; in fact the best of the Mosley era. It's partly because of the guitar solo that makes this song so legendary in terms of FNM, their guitarist back then just can't be replaced. But who was he? Mark Bowen? The vocals are questionable, I never quite understood that childish voice Mosley's doing. It seems artistic or satyrical or something. | |
| Sarah McLachlan – Silence (Delirium cover) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song is obviously about committing suicide, probably by drowning in the waves of an ocean. "Give me release Witness me I am outside Give me peace" This first part seems like a foreshadowing prayer, she wants God or someone to witness her being released from life. Also, the line "I am outside" may also be showing that she has come outside of some place and is on her way to the water to drown herself. "Heaven holds a sense of wonder, and I wanted to believe I'd get caught up when the rage in me subsides." She is fascinated by what's beyond death, maybe because someone she loves has died, and she 'wanted' to believe she would enjoy herself or understand, "when the rage in me subsides." She is constantly too angry to enjoy life. This line also sounds sort of like "when the raging sea subsides" when I hear it being sung. Whether or not this is on purpose who knows. Also, this could be a continuation of the prayer, and she aspires to go to heaven and be with that loved one, and relieved of her rage or forgiven of her sins. "Passion chokes the flower until she cries no more possessing all the beauty hungry still for more" She is passionate about something, some past experience or pain. It could be drugs, depression, anything, through interpretation, though the only thing it hints at in these lyrics is that a loved one has died. In her passion all she wants is to die, to release her pain. The last two lines show that she is selfless; "all the beauty" or her loved one is gone, but her passion still "wants more" indicating she still thinks she must die, too. "In this white wave... I am sinking In this white wave In this silence" The "wave" that overcomes her to kill her. A wave being white, would probably be giant and powerful. So she is talking about some kind of giant powerful surge that would bring her end. She says "I am sinking in this white wave" so it is not an entirely quick end. The "silence" could be her fading from sense. "I believe I can't help this longing Comfort me I can't hold it all in I you won't let me..." Probably another prayer to God, she can't help her longing to die, she seeks a sign, or help, and if God doesn't help her then who will. "I believe I have seen you In this white wave you are silent you are breathing in this white wave... I am free" Now the "you" signifies someone else who was lost, who is breathing as someone else said in a place in the afterlife or heaven. So the imagery of the "wave" could mean her means of death or heaven; they sort of unite as one and the same- death is her sense of heaven. |

| Sevendust – Dead Set Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Animosity is just about my favorite album by Sevendust, and Dead Set is just one of my favorite songs altogether. The line "Once I say, I can't be saved, no more change, I dodge the grave almost every day/ Liar" really speaks to me, as it seems to be the dialogue of someone claiming to have surpassed everything in life, through admitting that nothing will change him. (and liar implies denial) Of course, it has obvious connections to Christianity, and wavering in and out of it. And I agree with Obscure on the line "God save the child who lives like a whore." Many of Lajon's lyrics are written like prayers. It seems to have some more subtle meaning though, but I'm not sure. "One Single life needs not to die for such a cheap price for one last flight" It seems to have some subtle, possibly political meaning... |
