gjjg0620, I seriously hope your trolling... Otherwise I've lost all faith in humanity. I'm not saying everything your saying is wrong but you WAY over analyze the lyrics. You sound like a 10 year old that researched this and wrote a paper for English about the song. Like there's no debate at all that Grey Goose Vodka is more classy than a 40 oz, because its about $35 more expensive for roughly the same quantity. Your biggest screw up is in misinterpreting the end and best part of the song: "One: Sleep is the best way to save money" -pretty simple even you got that "Two: Money is the best way to have sex" -you could argue that he's talking about prostitution or like you said having a lot of money is appealing to a lot of women so I'll give you that. "Three: Sex is the best way to feel nothing" -I doubt he's talking about getting off stress, but more rather the empty feeling that accompanies empty sex, i.e. just sex and not the more full of feeling making love; if you weren't a virgin you'd understand. "Four: Nothing happens if your asleep" -pretty straight forward, but you missed that he started and ended with sleep making a poetic loop. "So stay up till you wake up" -Complete party reference. He means stay up and party till you black out and wake up the next day. Total college party thing to do because it's not like you remember going to sleep, because well you don't even remember what you did before you passed out. It's quite simply a song about getting wasted and having a great time partying, not something deeper. |

| Brand New – The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
"It's cold as a tomb and its dark in your room when I sneak to your bed to pour salt on your wounds." I think this is CLEARLY about her dreaming about him. I say this because I've been in her role, to an extent. We'd been dating a while and she said she loved me and I told her emphatically that I felt the same. Several days later she broke up me, saying she'd lost interest. I was crushed and though we tried to get back together a couple times it never worked out, she always changed her mind. After the longest time I was starting to get over her, but one night I had this dream about her and even if just for a slight moment we were together again in the dream and I felt that vast array of emotions that being with the one you love is. Then I woke up. I almost wanted to cry and it definitly stung, like 'putting salt into a wound that was trying to heal'. So, I'm pretty sure he's not literally sneaking into her room, it's a metaphor, and a beautiful one at that. The rest of the song, is superb as well and relates to my situation, though the roles are reversed. I don't think the rest needs any explanation, atleast what hasn't been already. Just a great song. |

| Blink-182 – Time to Break Up Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
There's a lot here about it being bitchy women? Maybe that's just some personal feelings about an ex seeping in but I don't think that was something they were trying to say. I think they mean in the first stanza more rather that, that's how you feel up until the fight the ends it, but after it's over you realize you were wrong. This song doesn't need much interpretation, it pretty much says exactly what it means. It's a about a relationship that had a lot of bickering and so he ended it, but soon therafter realized that he'd made a mistake, and that he still has feelings for her. I know I've been there, most of us have, and that makes it a great, very universal song. It's on my break-up playlist. |

| Blink-182 – Stockholm Syndrome Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Stockholm Syndrome is where a hostage falls in love with their captors. It is named for the event, where it was first observed in 1973 Stockholm, Sweden; where the hostages in a bank robbery during days under capture, started to feel emotionally attached to their captors teh bank robbers. So while that event is an example of it, it does not pertain to that specific event. So why does this song have that title? Personally, I would say the guys are talking about feeling like the feelings they have for somebody are only there because they've "taken them captive" not literally but metaphorically. Much easier to understand when you've had this feeling. Like you love them, but at the same time you hate them for what they've done to you. The 1st stanza between Mark and Tom seems to me to be post break-up thoughts, they both represent the guy. He's on his way back to talk to her after they've been broken up a while and even though she left his heart broken "an empty heart" and unable to trust her "replaced with paranoia", he wants her back "but I can't help beliving". The 2nd stanza seems to be his conversation with her, and he just doesn't know what to say or really even exactly how he feels. He'd been hoping that she could save him from the depressed way he'd been feeling but once he spoke with her he realizes that just isn't the case. The 3rd stanza is just after they've spoken and he's digesting what was just said. She was not interested in him "your cold with disappointment" and she seems to not have any feelings for him. As it didn't go how he'd hoped, he's crying and completely shut himself off "drowing in the next room". He feels sick from the the build up to the conversation "sick from apprehension" and tird from the converstion "crippled with exhaustion". He's dreading the moment when she finishes it by saying what he'd worst feared. This could be anything to, I'm seeing someone else, to I don't love you or even I hate you, but whatever it is, it kills him inside, "I dread the moment when you finally come to kill me". The 4th stanza, or the repeating of the 1st, is his similar feeling as that of before. Even though it's really over and there doesn't seem to be any hope he just can't let go. Hence Stockholm Sydrome. She's captured his heart in the worst way and even still he has feelings for her, even though he has every reason not to. I have to disagree with the drowing theory, not that it's not Blink's style, but it doesn't realy fit well with the title and only if you take the lyrics literally, and even then that's only one verse. I'm not saying it's wrong, I mean music is about what you take from it, but I just don't think so. |

| Modest Mouse – Little Motel Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song is full of beautiful metaphors and so I can see how it has so many interpretations and you'd have to ask the boys to know if anyone is the 'correct' interpretation but I think this is definitely a song meant to be open to more than one meaning. That being said this is my interpretation: The 1st stanza is the most debatable in my oppinion. The argument that 'little motel' is a metaphor or euphimism for a coffin is certainly not unfounded and how you interpret this part affects the rest of the song. However, for the way that I have interpreted the song it would take "little motel" to be more literal. While not necessarily a motel but certainly a small room for you to stay temporarily. Being a college student it would fit that the following happend between two people and she's now in college in a dorm. Like a long standing relationship that ended when one goes to college. This doesn't exactly fit with Modest Mouse, however, and so it could easily be something else. "I hope you like it there[...]" and "and I hope that the suite sleeps and suits you well" seem to be loving but I rather get the feeling that they are meant to be sarcastic, like saying 'have a nice life' after a break up. Through the rest of a song it's apparent an argument has occured and "it's nice to be by yourself" fits with a post argument setting. Or that they've had an argument and the one to come is the one that ends everything. The 2nd stanza and ongoing chorus is less concrete in meaning and changes after each verse despite the words being identical. After the first it would seem to mean that he's waiting to be by himself, as they're still together bu he can feel that the end is coming. In the 3rd stanza he's talking about a relationship under the metaphor of sailing. "We treat mishaps like sinking ships," This is a metaphor about how things like arguments and little problems in the relationship get treated like tragedy's. And when a ship is sinking you 'abandon ship' so he's saying that they just got out of the relationship after those little "mishaps" arose. Being out to drift is a metaphor about being single and alone. "I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips" is infering that he can see the end coming for them. That may not make sense but wen your in a relationship that's coming to an end then you will understand. Its that look in their eyes and how that kiss has changed when you feel it coming, whether you want it to or not. And then when he says "we're better than this" he means that their relationship is better then to have let all that petty stuff bring it down. The 4th stanze the chorus means that he's really hoping that they can work it out and 'be better than this.' The 5th stanza is very similiar to the 3rd. It talks about their arguments and "I don't think there was an insult that was missed" is rather blatently stating that these arguments were just about no-holds-barred, the kind of fights where you say the cruelest things to each other. Again the verse "I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips" is infering how the end is coming. The when he says "I'm very sorry" it's like that feeling when in the heat of argument you said something so cruel that you'd never have said if things hadn't gotten this heated where the seccond you've said it you instanstly regret it. Also as the argument has already happened he's saying that he's very sorry for everything he said. I don't it means he's literally saying it to her, so much as feeling/thinking it. The 6th stanza chorus means that he's waiting for her or maybe himself to say he's sorry. Also that he's been waiting for the relationship to end, not because he wants it to so much as he's seen it coming for a while now, and if you've been there you can appreciate how painfull it is to just be sitting there waiting for it to come. The 7th stanza is my favorite out of a lot of songs. "The remnants of a shooting star landing directly on our broke down little car" I think the broken car is a metaphor for their relationship, it's just not working anymore. The "remnants shooting star" is a metaphor about the wish for theirlkhljgds. People wish on shooting stars but this is about the remnants, the pieces that have burned up and are crashing down to Earth. "Before then we had made a wish, that we would be missed if one or another just did not exist" the beginning of the relationship they wished that it'd work out and that they always love each other, or 'miss the other one if they didn't exist'. Here the are on the other end of that wish as it comes crashing down, and the wish is over. They no longer care for each other, at least in the same way. It would seem, he still has feelings for her, but knows that it can never work, and that it is over. The final chorus which closes the song changes from 'I' to 'we'. It would seem that they both still have feelings for each other but have both accepted that it is over for them, and are waiting for those feelings to go away. To stop missing each other so they can move on with their lives. How you interpret a few things in the song can drastically change the meaning. Like whether or not the story is told chronilogically as he switches to past tense in the middle of the song. Also about what 'little motel' is. Sweet or bitter, happy or sad, no matter what interpretation you hear, it is a truly beautiful song and some of Modest Mouse's finest work and that's saying something. |

| Ben Onono – Blink Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
To me teh song is about having then losing the one you love. The first stanza she's still with him, "I got you by my side." However, something happens like a fight and they break up in the 2nd stanza. But in the 3rd stanza he isn't over her, even if he may have been mad. He wants to take it back and have what they had, "Say I see you to understand what it is to roll back the hands of time." In the 4th stanza he's hoping that things could start again as quickly as they ended, and now he's fighting against time to get her back. The 5th stanza leaves it rather open. It could mean that they were able to make it and be together again. However, perhaps what changed so quickly was his hope that they could be together, perhaps she's with someone else or rejects him. The ending is open to your interpretation I feel. |

| Box Car Racer – The End With You Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Albeit a necro post this is still a great song. Where people are saying there are no ties to a relationship and this is all about apocalypse I don't get. He says: I can feel the world collapse around me FROM WITHIN granted I don't know Tom but I would say he's talking about his heart. That's what he's feeling. Also the title of the song is: "The End WITH YOU". Also he says: If you will then we'll go as fast as we go far Again I don't know exactly what he means but it sounds like he's talking about a relationship. If you'll go with me then we'll take this relationship equally far and fast. In addition the phrase "we" is constantly used, so if it's just him thinking about the war there would be any need. Its about a relationship. So, yes there definitely are some destructive lyrics, the first thing you have to remember that not all lyrics should be taken literally. (eg Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds... yea that's LSD not anything about Lucy or her diamonds.) I think he's using the end of the world more for a metaphor for a relationship that is falling apart, because when your in that position that's how it feels often times as I'm sure many of you can also attest. I'm not saying that's the end all be all and I'm right, merely giving my intrepretation,but you cant deny the presence of a relationship in the theme of this song. |
