| Drive-By Truckers – Where the Devil Don't Stay Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| Crap...I logged in to say...without considering she called the law...I've only heard this song a million times or so...that seems unthinkable..I mean who had phones...but more importantly I was just thinking "oh she knew, that was the main if not only source of income." And I can't imagnie this scene playing out that the 8-12 year old son wasn't actively helping with the still. Altho in movies I've never saw a kid at the still but..that just seems odd really from the last generation telling me how things went around here in southern appalachia anyways. How dare she!!! But yah..those molly hatchets. I remember reading about her in school and being just so pissed that those old timer salooners were all "don't hit old women" or whatever they were thinking. Maybe just outnumbered and didn't wanna shoot em. But hell the patrons shouldn't have allowed that senile something something horrible to go around busting things up. They drink there! And she was...just..OUT OF CONTROL. Damn her to this day. | |
| Dope – Wake Up Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| To me this song seems like him or whoever embracing their addictions, and plenty self-aware that they're self destructing and they just don't give a damn. And people are trying to tell them to "wake up" like sobering up and it's just like WHY??? What the hell is there to wake up for? What do you want me to wake up and do? Do I have anything to do? Is there any reason I should open my eyes? This song is about saying "I'm a fuckup and I love it, I love being a fuckup, I never wanna do anything more complicated than getting a needle into a vein for the rest of my life. There is absolutely no reason in a world of infinite possibles that I shouldn't be a raging fuckup. "Now I'm drunk and I'm miserable and I like it" that's because being drunk and miserable is a helluva lot better than being sober and miserable. Hooked on junk pitiful yah well maybe I pity all you sober people in the world. "Look at that idiot working to support his wife and kids, doesn't he fuckin' have anything better to do?" Such as getting drunk and shooting some heroin and waking up for a few minutes so you can do it again. I love this band. | |
| Pantera – War Nerve Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This is one of my favorite Pantera songs and I never even realized it. See a couple days ago I got all the Cowboys from Hell and after Panteras and I hadn't heard them in like 3 years except maybe Cowboys From Hell on Headbanger's Ball and I'm listening and it's like I heard all these songs yesterday and I realize that Pantera is the soundtrack of my drunk bastarding being a fuckup, that I play these songs in my head on a regular basis and never really realized it. And I mentioned Pantera to someone and they were only familiar with the name not the music and it dawned on me that like when someone asks my favorite bands I never mention Pantera because I take it for granted that Pantera is the shit and everybody loves Pantera. So I've listened to every damned song they have literally a thousand times more I'm sure and never pay attention to any of the lyrics except a line or two in each song...altho I can recite Cowboys From Hell and some of those songs decent because CFH was the first awesome cassette that I owned and I realized there was stuff out there besides country music and Oops I did it again was pop around that time I think..maybe that was a couple years after. And I realize that in my head replays that I always sang it "fuck the world, every inch of heaven and earth" But hell. You can't go wrong with fucking the world. It ought to be fucked. Fuck everything. And that reminds me, I was talking music with some dude and Pantera comes up, and I was talking about Thirsty and Miserable by Hatebreed before I realized it was a Black Flag song and talking about how I thot it was a lot better than that one Hatebreed album I heard years ago. And I'm like ah hell I just love any hard songs about drinkin. People say drinkin' music around here they're talkin about Hanks and Willies and Cash's and.....all those other sad drunk bastards but Pantera is my drinkin' music. Pantera is in my brain. My dead floating spirit will gradually forget what it was like to be alive and the last thing it'll remember is fuck the world...I'm not gonna go into detail but I bumped my head one time and had amnesia for a bit and the only things I could remember off the top of my head were "fuck the world" and "damn I'd like to have something to drink" and I remembered that I hated the world and it should all go to hell but I couldn't remember why... So. If you can extract a grain of reasoning from that, yur a better man that I thought you were. |
