| Mumford & Sons – The Cave Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this could actually be looked on as a religious reference in some ways. The cave represents having lived in the dark for so long, losing independence, losing the ability to look at the world in a whole new way. It mentions 'you understand dependence when you know the maker's land', showing that he now understands a reason for dependence in a good form. When it says: 'But I will hold on hope And I won't let you choke On the noose around your neck', you can imagine this is what God is saying to the narrator during his time in the cave. It says how when he knows the truth it shall refresh his broken mind, a thought that is common through out religion. The idea of finding relgion and therefore finding a new way to live in peace and comfort. He says she shall find strength in pain and shall know his name as it is called again. Again, this is a common thought in religion, the idea of God calling your name to come to the light and the truth and therefore out of the cave. See where I'm coming from? He says also that he needs to know the truth and to live his life as it is meant to be, perhaps the way set out in the Bible, supposedly the way the truth and the light. That's my view anyway, I would be interested to know if anyone else found religious meaning in this song. Thanks :) |

| I can't help thinking that this isn't the place for statistics and debates as to whether American is a good or bad country. I do however think that that is a very true and good interpretation. Whether you agree with Serj's point is irrelevant. Rant over. | |

| When I listened to this for the first time with my boyfriend, I got absolute shivers. The whole concept excites me and astounds me. | |
| Tool – Aenema Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Personally, I interpret this as Maynard talking about the crap that is humanity at the moment. I agree with what he says. We as a race have been given this beautiful planet, and we 'Fret for your figure and Fret for your latte and Fret for your hairpiece and Fret for your lawsuit and Fret for your Prozac and Fret for your pilot and Fret for your contract and Fret for your car', when they are such inferior and materialistic ideals. When he says 'learn to swim', I personally think he's saying something along the lines of 'get out of the shallow end, and get into something a little deeper', because all the things he mentions about our human life is so shallow. He mentions how we have no depth. He is wishing that Mother Nature would just destroy this shallow population, and start it all again. That is my interpretation anyway. |

| A Perfect Circle – Sleeping Beauty Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I personally take it pretty straight forward. I think he is singing about someone he thought he could change and bring to life, as it were. I've been in a relationship like that when I was with a man who was a little tooo wild and bad. I thought perhaps I could change him and make him see sense, but he was far too gone to be changed. The lyrics really helped me understand my situations simply. I think Maynard is simply expressing how some people are just too set in their ways to be changed, and you can't change them. This song really helped me, I think it's beautiful. | |
