| Against Me! – Two Coffins Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Laura Jane Grace may be considering the thought that her wife may leave her. And this song come from a place of "I understand." Maybe things are truly rocky between them now? |
|
| Dum Dum Girls – Stiff Little Fingers Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I do not see any lyrics! | |
| Type O Negative – These Three Things Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Notice near the end riff they lift the melody of the end of "Hey Jude" by Paul McCartney. | |
| El-P – Drive Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| He's using the act of driving, and cars, and insurance company as a metaphor for life, materialism, and religion, respectively. I'm not sure. I'm having a hard time trying to wrapping my brain around this track. | |
| Crime in Stereo – Drugwolf Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song reminds me of Batman. | |
| Crime in Stereo – I Cannot Answer You Tonight Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think some may view this song as a positive end to the album, but I think it's incredibly sad. Because obviously the character of the album at this point is delusional and thinks his lover is going to come back to him. It's like being alone and thinking of the person that's left lying next to you in the bed, or having imaginary conversations with that person. Heartbreaking. | |
| The Drums – Book of Stories Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think it's about how him and his girlfriend or whatever used to go out dancing. Now that she left him and he has no one to go out dancing with, he doesn't even want to. Doesn't even want to attempt to have fun. He thought that his life would be better with this person, but now he feels he's in a worse place than he was before. I'm relating way too much to this song right now! :-( |
|
| The Drums – Down by the Water Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Does anyone else really think that this song sounds like it should be the last song on the album. It just sounds like a perfect album closer. | |
| The Drums – Best Friend Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This is so very sad. :-( | |
| The Drums – Me and the Moon Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I'm pretty sure it says "or is it me and the moon." | |
| Anathema – Are You There? Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song, especially in it's acoustic version, is probably one of the most emotional and heartfelt songs I've heard. This band is amazing. | |
| Deftones – Sextape Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I dont' think this song is about anything "sexy" or "trippy." This sounds like he's reminiscing about riding around on his bike at night, or skateboarding with his friends. Those guys used to be into skateboarding and BMX. | |
| Manchester Orchestra – Tony The Tiger Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I saw them a few days ago and i was hoping they'd play this song but they didn't. :( I'm not sure what this song is about, but it's interesting. |
|
| Crime in Stereo – Type One Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is amazing - the best on the new album in my opinion. I think it's about his relationship disintergrating, and him trying to make himself, and others, feel better. This is their "Awful offering to everyone, everywhere, unloved." It's perfect. | |
| Crime in Stereo – Queue Moderns Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song gets me pumped! | |
| Say Anything – Hangover Song (feat. Anthony Green) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This is such a thowaway track. | |
| El-P – Poisenville Kids No Wins (Reprise) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"So what the fuck are you feeling that makes your struggle so wonderous?" Oftentimes, suicical people are really self-centered - they can only see their pain. I think in this song, he is trying to bring this person back to Earth. Let him know that the person isn't the only one feeling like he feels. And he's here not to try to talk this person out of it, but to prevent it entirely. And he's not sugar coating life, and he's agrees that they are both probably just nobodies, but like he says, "And if I have to live, you have to live; whether you like this shit or not." |
|
| A Wilhelm Scream – The Pool Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This is one of my favs from AWS. It's really musically impressive. | |
| A Wilhelm Scream – The King Is Dead Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"Hey, the garage looks cleaner when you look at it sideways, from high" Actually, a really humorous line. |
|
| A Wilhelm Scream – Less Bright Eyes, More Deicide Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"You never wanted to touch me when I was worthless." Probably about someone he was into, but only reciprocated those feelings when his band blew up. |
|
| A Wilhelm Scream – Congratulations Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think this is about an "on again, off again" relationship that is beating him up emotionally. | |
| Sunny Day Real Estate – Guitar and Video Games Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think the writer is reminiscing about simpler times, when he didn't have obligations and he could play video games all day. However many lines I don't get, like "ships won't come in in a bottle of mud." | |
| Björk – Hyperballad Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think this song is very similiar in feeling to Robert Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." It's about suicide done in a very subtle way. I think suicide is something every sentient person has considered, at the very least, briefly, in his or her life. I also don't see this being about a relationship she's in, unless that relationship is with God, or Earth. |
|
| Owen – Amnesia and Me Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This sounds like my girlfriend! She too can be a bitch! | |
| Planes Mistaken for Stars – End Me In Richmond Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| No comments in over 6 years?? Wow. This is one of my favorite PMFS songs. I always get chills when I hear that last line. | |
| Planes Mistaken for Stars – Bastards Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"we sleep in the seconds between a swing and a hit" one of the best lines EVER! |
|
| Katatonia – Forsaker Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I've just become a recent fan of this band, with this new album. This song is great - it's got melody, heavyness, powerful lyrics. They remind me of Anathema. I look forward to getting more stuff by them. | |
| Green Day – American Idiot Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Over 2,000 comments?! You've got to be kidding. These are forty year old guys wearing guyliner. Nu Green Day is lame. | |
| Green Day – Welcome to Paradise Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Including the trailer for the new movie "Couples Retreat", this is the 2nd time I've heard this song played in a movie where the setting is an actual paradise - a sunny beach. I think "Surf's Up" may have been the other movie. I guess movie execs don't understand they're being sarcastic in the song and the "paradise" in the song is a really horrible place. Sigh... old Green Day is so good. I don't understand their obsession now with making big, important songs about important worldly subject matter and wearing guyliner. |
|
| Anathema – Are You There? Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This is probably my favorite Anathema song. Both the original and the acoustic version are amazing. | |
| Jeff Buckley – Grace Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| His wailing near the end never ceases to give me goosebumps! | |
| The Lawrence Arms – Demons Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Awesome lyrics. | |
| The Lawrence Arms – The Slowest Drink at the Saddest Bar on the Snowiest Day in the Greatest City Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"My face was nothing but crooked lines." They're growing older and noticing the wrinkles on their faces. |
|
| The Lawrence Arms – The Revisionist Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I agree with shoutout, this is about the journey for self identity. The revisionist in this song is trying to make things perfect like the images in his head of how things used to be, but can't, simply because the images in his head are just an obsessed and romanticized view of the past. Very powerful subject matter. It doesn't get much better than this song. |
|
| The Lawrence Arms – The Redness In The West Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"Fuck you You're cool Fuck you, too" Everytime I hear this, I crack up. |
|
| The Lawrence Arms – The Ramblin' Boys Of Pleasure Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"One day until retirement, it was God's way" I'm sure this isn't what this song is about, but I imagine this being a tribute to a grandfather, possibly, who smoked and told raunchy jokes. He was in law enforcement and died in duty on the last day of his career. That whole image makes me cry. "at a show i was at brendan said this song is about victory records. basically, TLA hates them. not the bands, just them." I wonder how specifically it relates to Victory Records? No matter the subject, it's such a sad song. |
|
| The Lawrence Arms – The Disaster March Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"I'm a drunk with a job, I got pictures to prove it" From Insomniac with Dave Attell on Comedy Central - a hilarious show. I wish it was still running. |
|
| The Lawrence Arms – The Devil's Takin' Names Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"I've never tried that But I know I don't like it" What has he never tried?? |
|
| The Lawrence Arms – Recovering The Opposable Thumb Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think this is a response to Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue" and how it was a call to arms for war at the time. Here's the song. How retarded and redneck are these lyrics: American girls and American guys will always stand up and salute; Will always recognize When we see ol' glory flying, There's a lot of men dead, So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our head. My daddy served in the army, Where he lost his right eye. But he flew a flag out in our yard 'til the day that he died. He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me To grow up and live happy in the land of the free. Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack. A mighty sucker punch came flying in from somewhere in the back. Soon as we could see clearly through our big black eye, Man we lit up your world like the Fourth of July. Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list, And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist. And the eagle will fly, And there's gonna be Hell, When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell! It's gonna feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you... Brought to you courtesy of the Red, White and Blue! Oh, Justice will be served and the battle will rage. This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage You'll be sorry that you messed with the US of A 'Cuz we'll put a boot in your ass It's the American way. Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list, And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist. And the eagle will fly, And there's gonna be Hell, When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell! And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you... Brought to you courtesy of the Red, White and Blue! Of the Red, White and Blue.. Of my Red, White and Blue... |

| I kind of wish they would do more super short songs like this. | |
| The Lawrence Arms – Warped Summer Extravaganza (Major Excellent) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This will provide a little more insight: http://thepunksite.com/interviews.php?page=lawrencearms Bobby: Why such the anti-Warped stance? Brendan: Well, it has to do with the fact that Warped Tour, it’s destroying the economy of DIY; and it’s doing it very methodically and very successfully in that [the] summer touring season used to involve a bunch of bands, like Alkaline Trio for example, jumping on buses and taking smaller bands, like us and the Black Maria for example, on tour. There would be all these bands that would do that, so all these support bands would have great tours to go on. Kids in every town would have a bunch of different shows to go see, like over the summer. Small clubs would have big, good shows at least once a week if not twice a week, three times a week; and kids would have stuff to do. Now, all those big bands go on the Warped Tour. When they come to town, it’s for one day. It’s in a band shell, small clubs all across the US are closing down, they can’t offered to be open. Bands like us have to tour against the Warped Tour, which sucks; or tour on the Warped Tour, which sucks even more. And you know it’s in a fucking big band shell; and the fact is, every single person who would read this interview, got into this at least in a tiny, little way thought there was something cooler than going to a band shell and buying twelve dollar bottles of water and standing there watching your favorite band play from like a million feet away. Now people talk about the Warped Tour like it’s the greatest thing to ever happen to punk rock, it’s not the greatest thing to ever happen to punk rock - it’s single handedly dismantling the whole thing we’ve been fucking building for all this time and nobody gives a fuck. And bands, big bands that play the Warped Tour say things like “Oh, it’s great, you only have to play it for half an hour” and it’s like “Fuck you! This is your job, I don’t care how hard you don’t have to work in order to get paid; like you’re fucking everybody!” And that’s why it’s the biggest tragedy. And that’s why it’s the worst thing to ever happen to punk rock, or DIY music in general. |

|
"With a needle in my arm" Does someone in the band really use needles? |
|
| The Lawrence Arms – Light Breathing (Me And Martha Plimpton In A Fancy Elevator) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| One of my favorite Larry Arms songs ever. It perfectly describes one moment in time, that's indicative to where your life is at the time, about not having the guts to be the kind of person you want to be. | |
| The Lawrence Arms – Hey, What Time Is 'Pensacola: Wings Of Gold' On Anyway? Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"Pretty much sums up how I felt from age 22 to 25, especially this verse:" Agreed. This was my life. Not so much anymore. |
|
| The Lawrence Arms – Hesitation Station Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"Take a chill pill lover, or you're going to explode" In the foot note in the CD booklet, Brendan says his wife told him these were some of his lamest lyrics ever. And it kind of is. But the song is one of my favorite off the album. I'm not too sure what inspired this song, though. |

| The Lawrence Arms – Great Lakes/Great Escapes Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I remember playing this song getting psyched up for a date once. | |
| The Lawrence Arms – Eighteen Inches Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I mean 100 Resolutions :-) | |
| The Lawrence Arms – Eighteen Inches Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Another great New Year's song, along with 1000 Resolutions. | |
| The Lawrence Arms – 100 Resolutions Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Forget "New Year's Day" by U2. THIS is what I play on New Year's! | |
