| Propagandhi – Purina Hall Of Fame Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
check this out: http://www.saveascream.com/propagandhi.htm "SBV: Can you tell me about the actual song meaning of ‘Purina Hall Of Fame’ and did Purina hear that song and if so what was their reaction? CH: When an animal saves a human life (like a dog saving a drowning baby for example), Purina adds them to their Hall of Fame. When a human saves an animal life (like a member of the ALF freeing a beagle from a vivisector) they are thrown in prison for the rest of their lives. It's a interesting difference. I doubt the animal exploitation industry cares that a band wrote a song about it. TK: Purina is a company that feed animal parts to other animals. But they have an award for heroic animals that save humans. I'm not sure if people at Purina heard it or not. I'm sure the money they make off their company eclipses any humane thoughts that might occasionally flitter through their minds. SBV: What were your thoughts going into the writing of that song — knowing that you were going to use a company name for the title? CH: I don't think it really crossed my mind! Should it have? |

@ Gent1992: Papa Roach? seriously? come on dude... there's a punk band called "last resort", that makes way more sense... |

| Fugazi – Do You Like Me Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| "bonsoir" means "good evening", "regret" is symply "regret", and "a demain" means "see you tommorow", but the three words together don't mean anything (you can trust me I'm french) | |
| Gogol Bordello – Copycat Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| actually, Amercia wasn't even named after Vespucci... when something is named after someone, we use the last name not the first; in fact America was named after Richard Ameryk, who funded the second trip to America | |
| A Wilhelm Scream – Me Vs Morrissey In The Pretentiousness Contest (The Ladder Match) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| ho, is that the true meaning? almost disapointing... I thought it was about religion, the doll being Jesus, and "won't trust the model or the make, I will trust you" meaning I won't believe in god or in religious hierarchy, I will believe in human being... | |
| At the Drive-In – Sleepwalk Capsules Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I totally agree with llamaboy487 for the Kurt Cobain comparaison, I once heard an interview of Dave Grohl saying that sometimes Kurt would write lyrics just before recording the song, so he doubted it has any meaning at all... that's surely why sometimes songs seams obscure, like ATDI... I used to write song on my own (not on the same level...) and sometime you write about stuff that only you and three other people will know about, a lot of personnal stuff, or a very trivial stuff, and you use a lot of metaphores so it's not to obvious... for exemple I once wrote a song about how my computer was running slow because of spyware and viruses, and it was impossible to notice for an outside reader... just to say that sometime it's not necessary to look for meaning in a song, because it can have little or no meaning at all... to me lyrics are very important, I love song that has messages like Bad Religion or things like that, but still Relationship of Command is my all time favorite record, even through I don't get the words...it's like abstract painting, you know, it can be beautiful even through it means nothing... sorry for this long comment and probably misspelling here and there(not an English native speaker) |

| A Wilhelm Scream – We Built This City! (On Debts And Booze) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| what, no comment? surely my favorite song, but like almost all of AWS song, can't get the lyrics... read from Trevor that it's about their hometown of New Bedford... anyway, can't wait for Groezrock and I hope they'll play that song... they could get on stage, play it and then walk off stage, it would still be a great show! | |
| A Wilhelm Scream – Kursk Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| this one gets rather obvious when you know that Kursk was a submarine that sank... it's about the last living moments of a guy in that submarine, and in a more general way about knowing you're gonna die and "writing your regrets from the heart", saying things you never could because of the consequences... | |
