| The Jesus and Mary Chain – Sowing Seeds Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
@[Mc:7853] Scratchnsniff This guy's 100% correct. While this song was written well before the iphone we all know the Jesus and Mary Chain were taking a LOT of acid. Having the ability to transcend time and space, they were merely glimpsing into the future (which is why it's a little foggy) "I'll go where the apple goes I touch with an apple touch" Me too brother, I'm all about that iPhone. And I definitely have that apple touch. Whenever I use an Android it's all awkward 'I see people' Candy People' This is a clear reference to Candy Crush, but I think he was only on 250ug of LSD when he wrote that line, so it was like he was getting a glimpse but not the whole picture. He's like. I see fucking candy people things. Jim Reid would back me up. Then he just goes on to talk about sowing seeds, like guys planting seeds and macking w/ girls on FB, with their iphone's (obviously), and then all the beef you receive on there and the whole social media war. 'I just want peace' - See it all becomes very clear. To sum it all up, the song is about a guy who sees all his friends getting laid and he's like, damn, I should be on my iPhone. I'm planting all these seeds but I'm sick of all this shit I get when I try to. I've been playing Candy Crush so much waiting for the seeds to come to fruition, that all I ever see now is Candy People. So then he's like I'll just keep planting seeds, I just want peace. |

| Chris Brown – Forever Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
While I support the idea that you can't simply associate certain words (like ecstasy) to imply the entire song is about drugs, I do believe this song has references to some type of substance. First of all, recently it was revealed that Chris Brown was diagnosed with a variety of mental disorders (bipolar, ptsd, etc.,) and the reason for a majority of his problems were from "self diagnosing" with various illicit substances to resolve these personal issues (something I can totally understand). Obviously the people on here who claim it's not a reference to drugs, have never done MDMA, (or even LSD/Mushrooms) at a Club because this really does fit oh too perfectly. People slander the term ecstasy and demonize a really amazing empathogen that has been clinically proven again and again to be less dangerous and toxic than nicotine, with numerous beneficial effects. From showing the most promise out of 60 substances tested in reversing symptoms of parkinsons, to the incredibly beneficial empathogenic effects it provides in a therapeutic setting (particularly involving married couples), MDMA is a really amazing and wonderful substance that for various surreptitious reasons, has been slandered and demonized. Secondly, while people on here quoted various generic definitions for the term, I'm going to quote a more well explained definition and meaning from the paper, "Deconstructing Ecstasy: The Politics of MDMA Research". In it Charles Grob says, "What is Ecstasy? Defined by the New Webster's Dictionary as a state of intense overpowering emotion, a condition of exultation or mental rapture induced by beauty, music, artistic creation or the contemplation of the divine, ecstasy derives etymologically from the ancient Greek ekstasis, which means flight of the soul from the body. The anthropologist, Mircea Eliade, who explored the roots of religious experience in his book Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy, has described the function of this intense state of mind among aboriginal peoples. Select individuals are called to become shamans, a role specializing in inducing ecstatic states of trance where the soul is believed to leave the body and ascend to the sky or descend to the underworld. The shaman is thus considered a "technician of the sacred", having been initiated through a process of isolation, ritual solitude, suffering and the imminence of death. Such initiation into the function of ecstatic states of consciousness, always accompanied by comprehensive tutelage from tribal elders, allows the shaman to assume for his tribal group the vital role of intermediary, or conduit, between the profane world of everyday existence and the sacred domains of alternative reality (Eliade, 1951; Schultes and Hofmann, 1992)." (Grob, 1-2) While modern definitions and references of the term can apply to completely generic scenarios, the song introduces a much deeper meaning. Something frequently done at dance clubs, MDMA not only causes you to feel the music but is something one would want to do with their significant other. More than anything, this song sounds like Chris Brown proposing the offer to join him "in the middle of Ecstasy". He then comforts her and says he'll be right there and particularly this is something very poignantly striking to me or anyone else who has done MDMA or something similar at a club with a girl. |

| Miike Snow – Sans Soleil Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
"Morning bled at the water's edge The city was bringing me down And my mind was on a ledge Saying who's gonna help you now?" First verse gives the imagery of someone who left the city and is watching the sunrise at the beach, beach because of the coming seagulls reference. Without sun we pull what feeds us from the heat that's in-between us How can we expect to build a boat Seagulls running everything Absolutely love the first line. It appears to be referencing the now engulfed darkness of nighttime, as the sun has set, & when it's dark people get the essential energy they need from contact with one another. Hard. You make it hard. Hard. This line is somewhat open. I think it means, as the song goes on, that the breakup is now making it hard on him. & further contact or the absence is hard. It's all the opposite I think The ladder runs side to side Enough to make you want a drink But there's no place to hide This seems to say, I once thought I had all the answers and had everything figured out but now I don't know what to think. All my views have changed &, The ladder runs side to side, my world is completely flipped upside down. Everything's not as it should be. This is enough to make you want to get away from everything but no matter what, there is no place to hide, and you can't escape this feeling. Watching shadows within shadows within shadows, They hide their dark self from the sun, And her voice is just a memory you're not fooling anyone Getting so deeply lost in an emotional state that you're watching shadows within shadows within shadows. A very dark place! A mental state that wouldn't dare exist in the light of day. Her voice triggers a memory that makes you realize why you're feeling so lost & how you put on the mask in the day to everyone that everything's fine but deep down you're not & not fooling anyone Hard. You make it hard. Hard. Once again, reference that the girls absence or still involvement is making it hard. I like to think absence. Makes complete sense that way. |

| John Lennon – How Do You Sleep? Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| It's interesting. I was reading on all this paul is dead nonsense. I mean you look at how big the beatles were at the time b4 sgt pepper. when sgt pepper came out.. would the industry say paul died and let the biggest band in the world die, or try and keep it a secret...Sgt pepper took you by surprise?? But i've seen paul in concert and believe that's all nonsense. Just an interesting lyric to put in there. And george and ringo played on it. they were seriously sending a message, and i know that paul put out an album and they were in a fight but it's just interesting the people with money or power seems to silence those with power and find whatever way they can to make money. John Lennon, JFK, Martin Luther King. Interesting all the people that have major influence of the world in a positive way get assassinated. | |

| Circa Survive – Get Out Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I don't think it's about writers block but about drug addiction. More specifically addiction to opiates. "I have yet to translate, any meaning besides it's not worth it to try. Get out". This clearly talks about how there is no reason or meaning to them. Not to try them and stop and get out if you're addicted. If you think drug addiction all the lyrics make sense and fit vw writers block where only part of them make sense. Circa are all known drug users btw | |
