Temple of the Dog – All Night Thing Lyrics

15 years ago

Yes I agree that this song is about a guy who is part of a one night stand, and is giving the choice of either to continue it or let it stay a one night thing. But then again, the song is called "All Night Thing", meaning he is giving so much importance to this one night. Also, it's a sad song. Although he realizes it's a one night stand, he would like for it to continue. BUT, because it is a one night stand, he realizes that in all probability, it won't continue, and he has to accept that.

The Rolling Stones – Moonlight Mile Lyrics	16 years ago
The Hell's Angels murdered Meredith Hunter in cold blood? That's nice to know. All these years I thought Meredith Hunter was drugged out on methamphetamines and decided to pull out a revolver while attempting to climb the stage. Oh well. Your explanation is simpler.

Alice in Chains – Junkhead Lyrics

16 years ago

I don't agree with reverend chris. To make almost the entire album about drug use is just stupid, because drugs are such a cliche topic in rock music. You can look up any rock song on this site, and there is someone commenting that the song is about drugs. There are even songs that Jerry Cantrell explained the meanings of, and people still swear that they're about drug use. Also, this song (in my opinion) isn't advocating drug use. It's one of the deepest songs on the album. It's filled with emotion, and by that I mean pain. Just listen to the song. The song is saying "yes I'm guilty. I'm a drug addict, I'm in pain, but can you blame me? It's so easy to become like me." "And it ain't so bad" doesn't mean he's advocating drugs, it is an admission of guilt. An admission of weakness.

Alice in Chains – Check My Brain Lyrics	16 years ago
I don't want to be offensive, but dude...that is the most idiotic interpretation of a song that I've ever heard. Just because you do drugs doesn't mean that every song is about drug use. Get over it. I don't think you can look up any song on this website without some idiot saying "THIS IS ABOUT DRUGS!!"

Nico – These Days Lyrics	16 years ago
Lingeron and Itali are on the mark. It's about a person who's reached a point in their lives where they are depressed about all of the choices they made in the past, and this makes them not uninterested and uninvolved with the present and future.

John Lennon – Mind Games Lyrics

16 years ago

Here's what I think this song means: The way we perceive things, the way we look at them, that isn't really how things exist. It's only our perception that counts, and that's what's important. Life isn't really about us, but we live it through emotions and happiness, and that's what makes life worth living. Mind Games: It's just games that we're playing, our emotions, they don't mean anything but they mean everything to us. Our "mind games" make life worth living. Of course, throw in peace and love and you have an awesome song. That's my interpretation.

Pink Floyd – Don't Leave Me Now Lyrics

16 years ago

There are a lot of good comments here, with meaningful interpretations. I'd just like to add a few things and sum up what I think is the meaning of the song: Although we aren't inclined to believe that Pink abused his wife physically, the song leads us to assume that he has, as the line goes, "To beat to a pulp on a Saturday night." We don't have any other evidence suggesting he hasn't physically beaten his wife, although I agree that the line "To put through the shredder" probably does refer to emotional abuse. Also, I'd like to point out that when people are discussing what Pink could have done to his wife that made her leave, find another man, and refuse his calls (we assume she knew who was calling), they think that he had an emotional wall around himself that made her upset. She couldn't get through to him because of his wall. That isn't correct. I'd like to quote wikipedia.org for the correct interpretation: "He eventually gets married, but he and his wife grow apart and she has an affair while Pink is on tour. When Pink learns of the affair, he compensates with expensive materialistic possessions and turns to a willing groupie (Jenny Wright), only to trash the hotel room and drive her away."
