| Norma Jean – Organized Beyond Recognition Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I'm guessing televangelism, mega-churches and all that slick and polished shit that's fucking up Christians all over the USA. | |

| Could also be about some of the music scene, actually. Slick and impersonal. | |
| The Dillinger Escape Plan – I Wouldn't If You Didn't Lyrics | 15 years ago |

This is basically partly a bashing of the backward mentality of some religious people and their bronze-age beliefs. He wants them to grow the fuck up and stop believing in fairy tales so humanity can move forward. There's a bit of the Atheist's 1 Commandment "Don't be an asshole" as well: "If there was no consequence Could you stay inside the lines? Leave your guilt behind?" Basically asking: Would you really e.g. go on a killing spree if you thought that there was no hell? (The answer being 'of course you wouldn't, so stop pretending you need the bible in any way for your morals'). A bit of The Problem of Evil in the last part as well. Generally a lot of the anti-religious statements you hear, condensed into a short piece of lyrics. I friggin' love it XD |

| Norma Jean – Falling From The Sky: Day Seven Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I get the impression that these lyrics could relate both to the fall of man, the fall of Lucifer (thinking he's smarter than his own father - leading without a lesson - falling from the sky), and of course the Christian idea that a lot of people don't realize they're bound for hell (unable to see the bottom). It's probably not all three at once but Norma Jean lyrics always leaves a nice bit of space up for interpretation :-p Awesome song, even though it's definitely preachy! |

| Them Crooked Vultures – Spinning in Daffodils Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
To me, this seems to be about doing stupid shit because of lust or love, but i think the second verse encourages us to take the risk of epic failure but just being aware of it and prepare for it. Also, the author wants us to throw away any garbage that falls our way (lovers that treat you like shit) and try again. |
