Linkin Park – Robot Boy Lyrics 15 years ago
Subtle corrections:

You say you're not going to fight
'Cause no one will fight for you.
And you think there's not enough love
And no one to give it to.
And you're sure you've hurt for so long
You've got nothing left to lose.
So you say you're not going to fight
'Cause no one will fight for you.

You say the weight of the world
Has kept you from letting go.
And you think compassion's a flaw,
That you'll never let it show.
And you're sure you've hurt in a way
That no one will ever know.
But someday the weight of the world
Will give you strength to go.

Hold on the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go.
So hold on the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go.
So hold on the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go.
Just hold on the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go.

Guster – Fa Fa Lyrics 15 years ago
Wow, these lyrics are all wrong.

When you look in the mirror
Wish you were somebody else
Just a perfect reflection
You and no one else

Minutes run into hours
Hours run into days
You're still waiting for someone
Who never ever came

Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa
Never be the same again
Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa
Never be the same again

You were always saying something
You swear you'd never say again
You were always saying something
You swear you'd never say again

Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa
Never be the same again
Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa
Never be the same again

Go and run through the hallways
And find your way to the door
You will end up like always
Back where you were before

Then you look in the mirror
Wish you were somebody else
But its still your reflection
You and no one else

You were always saying something
You swear you'd never say again
You were always saying something
You swear you'd never say again

Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa
Never be the same again
Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa
Never be the same again

No matter where you go
You'll never find your way home
You'll never find your way home
No matter where you go

Matthew Good – Last Parade Lyrics 16 years ago
Unless I'm mistaken, the song seems to be about the inaction of people and someone's trying to convince them not just to do something, but to do something right.

"It's time to fuck or leave", make a damn decision on which one you're doing already.

But at the same time, the song seems to say that there's nothing wrong with being home at the end of a long day...and then that home is in the dirt. Or a grave. And with a burning future in the mountain, it seems like there's no future for the person who's laying in the dirt.

And then, finally, there's the awesome image of people taking pictures of a tidal wave that's about to kill them, while smiling, or grinning. So they don't get that they're in trouble, and they just think that what they're seeing is awesome.

So...maybe the song is about people who just don't get that the future's going to hit them like a ton of bricks unless they pay attention to what the hell they're doing. It's the dead town's last parade, but it feels like just another day, because they're not recognizing the fact that the town's dead.

Inability to see beyond the present and plan for the future. That's my interpretation.

Matthew Good – Vancouver National Anthem Lyrics 16 years ago
A correction to the lyrics based on the album version:

Out of the alleys
On needle-strewn fields
Into the sunlight
The brochures reveal
Like snakes come for rabbits
And rabbits for meals
Where the ore and the axe flies

Well this is our story (stick to it!)
But it ain't the truth
Cuz the truth's just for liars
That need an excuse
Around here love's a gangster
And charity's the proof
Where God deals on Sundays
Under a rain burning roof

It's 5 blocks of universe
And aliens for each
Like invisible ghettos
Of privilege and grief
And pinned up between them
The carrion flies
Living off skeletons of recycled lies

This is the place we find out
Well this is the way we find out

We all live downtown
Pay two even, no parking
Live with a clown
Step over ourselves
We all live downtown
Pay in blood, no parking
Sleep on the ground
Step over ourselves
We all live downtown
We all die downtown
Step over ourselves (over ourselves)
We all live downtown
We all die downtown
Step over ourselves (over ourselves)
Step over ourselves
We all live downtown
We all die downtown
Step over ourselves (over ourselves)
Step over ourselves

Well this is our story (stick to it!)
But it ain't the truth
Cuz the truth's just for liars
That need an excuse
For a King crowned a banker
The Queen crowned a noose
Like heirs to a graveyard
Where the dirt's always loose

It's 5 blocks of universe
And aliens for each
Like invisible ghettos
Of privilege and grief
And pinned up between them
The carrion flies
Picking off skeletons
Under a big northern sky

This is the place you find out
Yeah this is the way you find out

We all live downtown
We all die downtown
Step over ourselves
Step over ourselves
