| Anthrax – Safe Home Lyrics
| 11 months ago
|
This is a love song. Scott Ian wrote the lyrics. He said it was about real love, not sappy, overly dramatized power ballad love, but finding a true connection to another being in this crazy, mixed up world.
Those of you who think it's about religion or Jesus have missed the mark by a mile. Scott Ian is an atheist.

I did not like it when it was released, but Metal Messiah has actually really grown on me. The lyrics are even more relevant these days with the Christians saying that god chose Trump - who's basically the devil - to be president. |

@[commandercrinkle:48263] Agreed. He's a dick. I met him and it's like talking to a 12-year-old. He has to try to be cooler than everyone else in the room. I wasn't a fan of his current band either until I saw them live. Seeing him live with Tommy Victor will change your mind. Tommy kills playing the older songs. |

@[xaml:48262] I used to think the same thing. I was certain he was saying NEWS, nut it's NOOSE. I was in a band that covered this song and I sang it as NEWS for ages until someone corrected me. |

I think it's about the civil rights movement. I remember when the Freedom Riders and other activists were attacked (some murdered) by the "law" in the south and I think the cops getting rid of the bodies is a definite reference to that.
How was Cop Killer decried so heavily just a year and half later but no police officers made any noise about this song?? |

| Shinedown – Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide Lyrics
| 15 years ago

I think the song is about "spinning". This is where a user adds small pieces of balled up cotton candy or Neslte Quick to cocaine to make the drug taste sweeter when snorted. It is usually done by girls and that's where I think the "Sweet Tooth" part of the title comes from. If you take a small amount of cotton candy (which is spun in the process of being made, hence the term) and roll it up in your hand it becomes these compact pieces and then you can mix it in with cocaine. Even though it's going up your nose when being snorted, there is still the aftertaste. Coke is said to be bitter when snorted and this makes it taste better on the way down.
Just my theory. The title, the references to "she" (like I said, girls do it more than guys), and the Anna Nicole reference (she was known to do coke this way) makes me think that could be what he's talking about. In my line of work we have seen several young ladies OD this way because the drug tastes like candy and they end up doing a lot more than they should... not that there is a safe amount to do to begin with.
Great song. It even has kind of a Megadeth feel. It's obviously not full on thrash, but there is some Mustaine in the guitar parts. |

One of my favorite songs and definitely one of Anthrax's heaviest.
I read somewhere (and this was when it came out in '93 so my memory may not be perfect) that Scott Ian said it was about a mother didn't abort her illegitamite son because of her religion. He then grew up with a mother who was too young to parent and became a serial killer or something. The song is the killer on death row telling his mom she should have aborted him. |
