| The White Stripes – Instinct Blues Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Definitely about human nature and how far we've left it behind us. Which includes sex/reproducing but isn't exclusive to it. It's also mainly about knowing your purpose or role. As far as the animal kingdom goes, we haven't got with it for a long time. |

| The White Stripes – The Denial Twist Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
How can it be about cheating when this simple line is mentioned: "Take a tip and do yourself a little service Take a mountain turn it into a mole" Sorry doods but your girlfriend cheating on you should always be a mountain and not a mole. It's definitely about a person being in love with someone and they're not willing/able to show that same affection back. |

Nailed it. It's happened to me and this song was the perfect release after I did my own Denial Twist. |

This is the best explanation here and is the least biased. Bravo. |

I think her name tag, said Jenny. Your friends are lame. I would laugh my ass off if one of my friends asked me that. |

| Beck – Beautiful Way Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I think this song and Broken Train are the best songs on Midnite Vultures for the same reason. They're over arch, they fit outside of the ideas on the rest of the record. With this song being about someone who's so in love with another that they'll fawn over every minute they spend with the culprit and Broken Train being about the difference between the "one percenter's" and the "bra burning poor" and the moral/ideological differences between the two. | |
| System of a Down – B.Y.O.B. Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
WW2 is a different circumstance. In fact we wouldn't have "saved the jews" had the Japanese not decided to bomb Pearl Harbor thanks to our trade embargo's. Most of those soldiers signed up to serve to protect our country and our ideals, yes. It's not at all comparable to the War on "Terror". You realize that it's oxymoronic to claim to have a war on Terrorism? A blanket term that can encompass virtually any action? I don't see anyone crying for help except for what's portrayed in the media and you would assume in this day in age of the internet that there'd be thousands if not millions of muslim's would be claiming mistreatment and asking for help? It sounds like you don't like to ask questions you're afraid of the answers to. Plus, it's a known fact that most soldiers now-a-days enlist because of the G.I./Montgomery tuition's. That's one of the last statements they always throw in the armed forces commercials and recruiters spout it off like it's their motto. Sorry to be the one to tell you TurnMeOn but we aren't a nation that fights for what's right and what's wrong anymore. We fight for what's profitable. I'm sorry if you're unable to see that. |

Spot on sir. I'll just leave this here to let people ponder over the last half of the track there. "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini |

| Incubus – Privilege Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| It's very much so about being product of a capitalist society and also obviously about self improvement. | |
| Sleep – Dopesmoker Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Sleep did smoke copious amounts of reefer while making this record. Matt Pike has even said that they probably blew the advance on drugs and alcohol. The song itself isn't a metaphor for smoking grass, it is a biblical story about the great cannabis which I mean, to be able to appreciate this song to it's maximum I believe you need to be blitzed, preferably something really dank. Proceeds the Weedian - Nazareth! |

| Hah, The Faceless use the same clip on their Planetary Duality album. Automatically brought me back to Lateralus. Good shit. | |
| Aesop Rock – Commencement (At the Obedience Academy) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Hmm, maybe I'm the only one but I always thought of this lyric as a reference to The Inferno. "Puts it down, and it's down beneath your sappy sing alongs So stick it further down let Dante decide which ring I'm on" |

| Opeth – The Baying of the Hounds Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| It isn't always about Satan with Opeth, it's about evil. If you portray it as the devil you have a deeper christian spirituality than you may believe. | |
| Beck – Bottle Of Blues Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I definitely dig the interpretation my friend. Well explained. I will now think of impotency every time I listen to this song. |
|
| Beck – Volcano Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Recently having to deal with a friend or two getting addicted to opiates it definitely relates to addiction to me, there's still a ghost of that person but they're just not there anymore they're distant. He/She tries to cope with their addiction by rationalizing that it is bad but they don't know if they can stop. In the end it can either be interpreted as "warming his bones" is either giving in again or him/her overcoming it. Don't let me bring you down my friends. =] |

| Beck – Profanity Prayers Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I gather, life is what you make of it. No matter what you make of it. It also makes me think that having faith is okay, just not blind faith because in the end you are the master of your own destiny. Whether it be dirty or clean no one is going to answer your prayers so suck it up and make the best of it. |
|
| Beck – Soul Of A Man Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I'd say pretty much the same evaluation (SadXuHuang) aside from the spirituality, it seems like he/she wants the answer to said question but no one knows the answer so he/she continues pondering the question to see if he can find his/her own enlightenment whether it be self made or someone's interpretation. Finding your OWN answer is the key my friends. |
|
| Beck – Replica Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Definitely going to agree with Der Kleine. That was the first thing that popped into my head while I listened to this album for days and days on repeat. It's inspiring you know, to think how someones life could be a complete fabrication and to you, you'd know none the better. We've all done it before, it just matters how much of your life is fiction and how much is reality. But, I also believe towards the end of the song his/her fabricated life becomes attainable and they've fulfilled their lies to where they're reality, at least to them. |
|
| Beck – Walls Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I believe it's about inner fear of the unknown that mankind is so gripped by, that we need to rationalize with unknown in order to come to grips with it. At the same time it's put into second and third person terms it seems like we're being studied, by perhaps another species or a "god" or "gods" depending on your faith. But it also strikes me as a monologue of someone who is gripped by that fear of the unknown, not necessarily spilling his inner thoughts but letting the fear grip him and question things and further tear him/her apart. |
|
| Beck – Youthless Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This song to me, is about how advanced the human species is but how we're always being set back by something. How menial tasks become life, it's a constant. So by being constantly set back we become youthless a "young race" so to speak, so we keep pretending we're better than we are. And I also get undertones of how ancient relics and technology is still sometimes baffling to us. | |
