| Audioslave – Like a Stone Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Ughh... See, that's what I get for not reading the lyrics correctly. It's not a love song at all, It's about an old man who wishes for death, as many have been so astute to make out before me. Either way though, it's still an analogous existential journey. | |
| Audioslave – Like a Stone Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Well, simply put, it's a metaphysical journey told through the guise of a love song. This kind of analogous high philosophy has been put through just about every single scenario possible by human limits, in every medium yet achieved by our artistic tendencies. And yet it still remains the most beautiful and heavy kind of story telling to me, because we cannot truly answer these questions, they are beyond our imperfect sensory means. Some would call this song, an existential ballad, tired and trite, but I would argue that the more and more these questions are asked, the more and more intriguing they become. And with the clever and sometimes brilliant lyrics Cornell delivers in this piece, I would have to say that this is one of my top ten songs of all time. | |
| Fair to Midland – (Pre-Versa) Vice/Versa Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Well, why can't it be about both? It seems to me that Darroh writes a double meaning into the chorus: "Still frame, no dice Where do you get your evidence? Move back, stay still It takes a luminescent hue The wood, the crest That's weaved outside your vest Still frame, no dice" This could be referencing simple celebrity life and the superficial-ism that comes along with that, but it also seems to paint a picture of a crime scene. To me it seems that he's referencing the Manson murders, he explains two sides of a story throughout the song saying: "Loons light the skyline While you sleep on concrete" ... "I know there's a shortcut ahead The long drive home is taking its toll" Darroh's songs are littered with these two-sided "dialogues" as I have started referring to them. There seems to be two in this song, one in the main chorus with a double meaning which could either be between a celebrity and paparazzi, or a prosecutor and defendant in court. The second dialogue is scattered throughout the song, and well represented in the two couplets quoted above. It seems to be between Manson and what he perceived all of his victims, and all celebrities for that matter, thought. Anyways, that's what I got from it, I'm still looking for a somewhat direct reference to Manson, that would clinch it, so if anyone can find one reply back =]. |

| Walls of Jericho is just a direct metaphor for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Jericho was a city destroyed in a great genocidal event, just as Hiroshima was. | |
| Acid Bath – Scream Of The Butterfly Lyrics | 15 years ago |

This song is about child abuse and MPD, it even directly referenced Truddi Chase in the second couplet: "rabbit howls like something out of her twisted lullaby" If you don't know what I'm talking about, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truddi_Chase. I'm not saying that the entire song is all about Truddi Chase specifically, but it does directly reference her, making it more than likely that the intended meaning had to do with abuse/MPD. |
