Roland TR-808, TB-303, I thought everyone knew what these were? No DJ lives without one. All these "area code" theories are absurd. More so than my original post. And yes, catchy beats, but mostly everyone is right about it being pure S****. Much like the rest of Mtv. It's almost like people don't know about Yelle, Mika, Donots, etc. American pop is always Eurotrash leftovers. Always will be. Thanks to The Beatles... BTW, thanks to aKatB1 and Blainesledge and if you scroll down, Sprtnfan and everyone else who got a kick out of my post. At least I tried... Apparently, being a negative bastard gets lots of attention, even when I know I'm wrong. ;-) But I still hate Mtv. Sowwy folks. |

| Mika – One Foot Boy Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
One Foot Boy is a whimsical song about a dualistic metaphor taking place in his life. The one foot eleven stone boy is his growing sexual identity of which he hasn't fully integrated into his life and has begun to weigh down upon him. Instead of having both feet on the ground to keep him stable (sane), he's only got one. Or simply put: homosexual puberty. Another visual hint besides the booklet advert is the cover itself. The only One foot (tall, not single footed) obese boy would be the clown poster on the wall. Maybe a view of how "silly" or "trite" it all seemed now that he looks back on it? Or that he is to become a media clown/entertainer? Meanwhile, the advert in the newspaper is more like a "calling" of who he is to become from himself in the future. Thus the microphone metaphor gets thrown in, and whether he can fulfill his true "gift" or "talent". Kind of like asking himself, "should I sing about this, or is it just too simple and no one will care?" But he can't, yet... Thus, he's lacking "both feet on the ground". Making him a one foot boy. He's not referring to someone else. Nor a "character". Dr. John was similar in the sense that Dr. John was a bottle of Jack Daniels. Again, he's using a metaphor of his own conscious trying to grapple with whom he is becoming. Yet he still feels very small, using the height metaphor of only being one foot tall. But he's not quite there yet... making him only a one footed -BOY-. Not a -MAN- with "both of his feet on the ground". Wishing this duality would leave him be, or "happy on his own". Thus, never having to confront himself and accept who he is becoming (or growing up to be). Again, the clown visual appeals to the child, not the adult. My oh my. What to do... The strife of a media clown and the pain of puberty. |

| Mika – Dr. John Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Lightpiez is spot on. It's about alcoholism. Dr. John = Jack Daniels. But why...??? One might take a step further by saying this is not a struggle with alcoholism relationships/sex, but his sexual identity itself. Maybe due to the rejection from his parents about his sexuality...??? Thus, Dr. John, what am I doing wrong...? ...Nothing. You're gay. It's your parents who have the trouble accepting it. Your life isn't over. But the straight boy they thought you were is dead. Maybe if you dream it away the denial will stop along with the rejection? Nope. So stop holding on and on... to the boy they thought they knew. The interesting part is that the mother seems a bit more accepting while he is struggling with his father whom he is seeking acceptance from the most. Perhaps daddy took it hard? "You say I'm a big heart breaker. But, Doctor, I've never hurt ya. Isn't it obvious?" Broke his daddy's heart. But it's not his fault his daddy's heart got broken. It's the father's rejection/denial. And that, folks, would be my pence worth. |

| Far East Movement – Like A G6 Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"Fly like a G6" is probably why you're here... Once again, Mtv is F***ing with you. Most will say that G6 = Gulfstream G650, a twin-engine aircraft under development by Gulfstream Aerospace shown at the end of the video. Another term to watch out for is their reference to "Three 6". AKA, The Three (triple six) 6 Mafia. A Hip-Hop group from Memphis, TN. So what? Well, here it gets tricky. Most are going to do the visual association. It's a Jet or car. They're acting "gangster" and getting "slizzy" (a Southern term for tipsy). But let's remove what you've seen in the video (or 'told to see'), and maybe you'll be enlightened? Urban Dictionary: G6 1. "Gaysex" a.k.a. "Goodsex" a code term for guys who act like gay sex is gross just so people think they're homophobic. 2. Something awesome & not disappointing. 3. An electro-hop track called "Like a G6" by FM & the Cataracs (referring to a G6 Jet). So taking def 1&2 (because we already acknowledge def 3) and getting "slizzy" is also an innuendo for a faux homophobic Southern drunk, who apparently isn't awesome, but not disappointing either. (like most drunks are) Meanwhile, the Three Six Mafia is from... so put it together: "Like a G6" = "Like a Southern faux-homo drunk who's gonna let you down." If you think I'm reading too much into it, then you're not giving Mtv enough credit. You MUST take into consideration who is paying who, and getting rich off of whom. But it gets ~VERY~ complicated when you add Three 6 Mafia (Southern) to the FM (F.E.M, and get this, they're Asian American) and The Cataracs (Californian). It gets worse: Snoop Dog and the Kardashians are involved. In fact, they've probably featured the song on the show, or are in the midst of producing one. So, let's review: 1. Let's 'fly' (act out, or pretend to be) like a faux drunk homophobic Southern. Even though we're Asian... 2. Make enough money to get on a plane and go to Cali. 3. Sell-out like a Kardashian. Rinse, wash, repeat. Go ahead and shout racism, but the truth is, Mtv is well known to slip it by the censors. (see Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, 3Oh!3, etc.) It's their job. They hire psychiatrists for that sole purpose - To pinpoint their target audience. Now let's get slizzy and fly our G6... :-S |

It's about milestones. The death of a loved one of past. Remembrance of good times and finding peace with one's self through the beauty of all that surrounds and reminds us. Probably a VERY close personal friend who past away. A childhood friend perhaps? Or an old lover? Most of the lyrical description is very common of NJ. Referencing the beach sand and the cemetery. "Twice, in my life, I've been sure that a wall was the edge of the world.." This is just another milestone in his life. Being able to remember and love and move on... |

A reference to Joseph Gervais? The infamous Hudson's Bay Company man? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Gervais Jupiter One is a NY/NJ/Hudson Bay area band... so... But sounds more like a repairman or plumber who just exists like a ghost wandering about fixing people's sinks. :-S I think the joke is on us. We're not supposed to know who this Mystery Man is. Which is part of the intrigue. Almost like they're making us a lyrical map on where to find the treasure. So obviously in front of us, yet frustrated by never knowing. Maybe that's the point? I've never really figured this one out. Fill me in when you do... I'll probably find it amusingly sick. :-S |

Pieces of a dream Candied at the seam Tucked under my arm As I heard the alarm I woke up in a daze Followed by a blaze -Golden afternoon- So picked up my spoon And put it to my lips Chilled like a blade Cuts through my cheek The price I pay A little bit closer Try a bit deeper Look under the sink Cause there I am Filled with plaster The same fuckin' bastard The Mystery Man So can you guess my color More famous than others Not oak or a wooden hue But could you guess blue? Cool like sheets of sand Wrinkled like my hand Find it in the sky Watch us when we die A little bit closer Try a bit deeper Look under the sink Cause there I am Filled with plaster The same fuckin' bastard The Mystery Man So why the gloomy face? Was it a disgrace? 'Cause I was only joking Your debts, they all will fade Consider them repaid Oooo lala la Your stories are so old They can be untold Or sold Ooooo la lala... la la la The Mystery Man A little bit closer Try a bit deeper Look under the sink Cause there I am Filled with plaster The same fuckin' bastard The Mystery Man |

| Jupiter One – Wrong Line Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
NOT about being wrong and forgiveness... quite the contrary. It's actually more about the expectations we have, and the lessons we learn from them. Most of the song is about how he idolizes a girl whom he never truly understands. Once we does, or thinks he does, his expectations deceive him and he becomes jaded by the experience. Then he goes about tearing down other's expectations. Getting his jollies off, you might say. Knowing that what we expect is never the truth. Having had this epiphany, he loses any regret knowing that our own lies about what we think we understand is never near the honesty of what lays in front of us. The wrong line... of the train tracks. Or following a blind path which gets us nowhere. Expectations. Never put them down, for they hold lessons for us to learn. |

Smack down, but then you get up You turn back around But I put you on the ground, again and again Silenced, but then you speak it Only with a fist in your mouth You never really heard it again Tied up like a pinata If you only saw her You'd never take a hit for the, team... Oh uh-oh! Waiting for the Messiah You are the liar Taking on a six ton body slam There was a time When you were right And I was on the wrong side of the train And you were here And I was blue In Mississippi with the 'small town attitude' I was the one Who waited for a long time In the wrong line, and for you I'll do it all again... An innocent man walks in, sat down It was a phat crowd Givin' him head crowd again Feet up, laid back He missed the attack It was a quick smack Got him in the head, again She said she was a model Should've been a bottle Can never tell they're dirty or they're, clean... Oh Uh-Oh! I dug a whole to China All for a vagina West on Territory Avenue New... Yoooou.... There was a time When you were right And I was on the wrong side of the train And you were here And I was blue In Mississippi with the 'small town attitude' I was the one Who waited for a long time In the wrong line, and for you I'll do it all again... [huge awesome musical interlude] There was a time When you were right And I was on the wrong side of the train And you were here And I was blue In Mississippi with the 'small town attitude' I was the one Who waited for a long time In the wrong line, and for you I'll do it all again... |

| Jupiter One – Fire away Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Definitely NOT about massacre. It's about judgment and coping with judgments. Both the ones about us and ourselves and the ones we make of others. Consider it just one metropolitan youth patting the back of the other trying to help them cope and move on. "In my youth, I had stories to tell. Were they truth? You'll never know if it's a lie. When I look up at the sky, I see you (I see you), I see you." or "When I was naive, I too made judgments. Was I wrong for doing so? We all shoot ourselves in the foot sometime or another." Firing away is just how much and quickly we make those judgments of others. Over and over and over again, never realizing that we observe our own fears through others. Judgment. So pick yourself up. We all do, then move on... |

| Jupiter One – Volcano Lyrics | 15 years ago |

It's about denial and being denied. Sexual, parental, youth, growth, family... all tied together. In dream and psychological analysis a "house" is an analogy for "family". "You've gotta get out of the house" isn't just a phrase encouraging for you to explore outside of yourself, but escaping a family in denial. When you look at the story being told here, he's conflicted by the denial of the family about his "making a volcano roar" (sexual bliss, orgasm) with the daughter. The relationship is denied by everyone, while he fights for his own truth. A sort of Romeo and Juliet tale. Yet you've got to get out (escape) the house... Good stuff here. ;-) Jupiter One is one of the few bands that really know how to twist something so simple into an elegant spiral of self-realization and interpersonal meaning. |

*Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh...* Put my hand on a mountain Pulled the top right off I made a new volcano roar I could never do this before I raced back down to the town below To try to warn your mom, "I made a new volcano roar!" Just heard static on the intercom...? You've got to Get out Get out Get outta the house (x3) Threw a rock at your window Your brother looked to see "Hey...!" "I made a new volcano roar!" How come no one believes me? Your father watched from the front porch I put my hand to the sky "That's where I make your daughter soar." He must have misunderstood me...? You've got to Get out Get out Get outta the (my) house (x3) He told me how his generation won the war He asked me what I've done with my life so far I didn't answer quick and so he shut the door Oooooooohhhhh... *Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!* Get out Get out Get outta the house (x3) |

| Jupiter One – Flaming Arrow Lyrics | 15 years ago |

While one would consider this a song about revenge, it hides a deeper meaning: "Forgive what you get. I guess you haven't learned that lesson yet. Or maybe, do I have that other way around?" It's about mirroring the actions of the other to help them see how to take responsibility for themselves and to grow from that. The "burning down" just uses a visual analogy for destroying the building or "barrier" that they both are held back by. Holding them both back of true closure and forgiveness. His desire to destroy this is merely a reflection of his anger. Or wanting something to "stop". Perhaps so he can continue to grow instead of lingering on his broken promises, or "arrows". There are several corrections to the lyrics that need to be made. The most important is revealed by watching their animated video: "The fire I set. I see it hasn't reached your -ROOM- yet. And I know you'd never survive the fall all the way to the ground." But is he truly wanting to destroy her? Or just the broken promises made by the relationship? Depends on who's rolling on the ground... mocking or trying to overcome the pain. |

| Train – Drops of Jupiter Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song uses the idea that men never want to change, while women desire it. The observer in this song merely points out that both of them have changed in their own ways, unbeknown to the observed and observer. "Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land" So he was already flying? Then nothing has changed for him. Meanwhile, he continues to point out how MUCH she HAS changed. But really, did she? The truth behind the song is that they both have changed BECAUSE of the relationship. No matter how bitter either party is about it. Learning to accept pain through suffering is how we grow. So this song takes place right before that realization. Almost making it a "in-the-moment" translation of the realization itself. |

| 3OH!3 – I'm Not Your Boyfriend, Baby Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This is a stereotypical Mtv script. "Kill the lights. These children learn from cigarette burns, fast cars, fast women, and cheap drinks. It feels right. All these asphyxiated, self-medicated; take the white pill, you'll feel alright..." Basically, Mtv is telling an older generation about a themselves. While encouraging the younger generation to do follow a cleaner more sober path. It helps Mtv open the flood gates to infect another niche market. All of 3OH!3's songs promote this. They are a douchebag band (Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, 'Lil Wayne, you name someone from the charts backed by Mtv... they're it). They're meant to tick you off. They purposely play the role of the "douchbag". Recently on the music awards 3OH!3 was being interviewed by their reporters, and they literally were paid to play the role and push their content in the same manner. This song itself is just promoting AI, beeper holding guidos. Everyone knows that beepers are "so last gen", that the only role-model they are promoting is the Gen X/Yers who are probably the parents of the kids now listening to the music. So the song isn't just about a bad break-up, but a "pushed-down-your-throat" model of how to behave given to us by a generation before. "I'm not your lion or your tiger. Nah, nah, won't be your nasty little boy..." So then, what is he? A douchbag. They're promoting the stereotype. Almost as an example of how -NOT- to be if you're smart enough to realize it. A sort of, tongue-in-cheek jab at the older generation's stereotype being recycled by Mtv to a younger generation. Like a road map of wrong ways... |

| A Fine Frenzy – Liar, Liar Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
While it uses the metaphor of a siren sinking ships and taking the sailors down with them, this song is about more than just flirting or being misled. "Oh oh, you talk to me in siren song. Yeah, anyone would drown..." Basically, she's singing as an observer of her own temptations and actions. A good analogy would be "The cat is out of the bag." By confronting her own desires towards this "sailor", she also confronts that no matter how wrong she thinks this sailor is for her, he's taking with him what she longs for the most. His admiration. The best thing to do is ask yourself, "Just who is singing the song to whom?" This helps put into light the fact that SHE is the one singing, yet finds such sadness in her loss doing what she is born to do. Sing the song of the siren. The song really gives no solution to the dilemma, but they answer is for her to swim in a new direction. By confronting what she does to others through the power of her beauty and song. The ultimate face-off of deceit. Instead of lying and sinking ships, learn to sing the truth and be responsible for feeling the pain of your own actions. I guess the easy way out is to learn to forgive. Not the sailor, but herself. Funny how a song can deceive the hidden answers it holds... |
