| Dillinger Four – The Father, The Son, And The Homosexual/single Parent Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
My guess: Patty has a friend who struggles with her sexuality, and is also religious. She was told that getting married to a man would make her straight, and it didn't. On top of it, now she's a mother. ----- As a Christian who loves D4, this is one of the most important/relatable songs they've ever written to me. Religious leaders and institutions pushing people into marriages they're not ready for is something I've witnessed first hand, as well as the terrible act of trying to "fix" homosexuals into being straight, like it's a switch they can turn on and off. |

From Nuno in an interview on Punknews.org: (see the full interview here: https://www.punknews.org/article/53778/interviews-nuno-pereira-a-wilhelm-scream) It reads like a story. The Acushnet River is the river that runs through New Bedford. Trevor used to get high and watch the fireworks on Fourth of July all the time and tell stories about it. My favorite part of the story is how I came to join the band. He talks about his band's first gig at this place called The Exit Club, kind of a rat hole, kind of an awesome dive in New Bedford. His band had their first show there and the singer was like "Why isn't anyone moshing?" It was their first show, the crowd didn't know any of their songs. He basically said "You guys suck," and that next Monday he quit the band. I moved back to New Bedford, a few months after that I met the guys and that's how I ended up singing for them. That kid quit because no one ended up moshing for their songs. There's much more but I think some of those questions are better off left for Trevor. Also everyone practices in their mom's basement for as long as they can. We did it for YEARS. The Reilly's should be sainted or whatever the equivalent to that. They were definitely the martyrs for our cause. Every Monday night their house would be shaking, rattling, and very loud. Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Reilly. |

| A Wilhelm Scream – Hairy Scarecrow Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Song is obviously about getting over pessimism or negative-life outlooks. IMO this is the best AWS song they've ever written. | |
| Dillinger Four – Like Eye Contact in an Elevator Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| This song is simply about talking to someone that is SO boring the narrator can barely take it. | |
| A Wilhelm Scream – The Kids Can Eat A Bag Of Dicks Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| It could be about fame corrupting someone's character... Seems likely. | |
| No Use For A Name – Under The Garden Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| This song is essentially about how western people ignore poverty and struggles of other human beings outside of the western world. | |
| No Use For A Name – Black Box Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I always thought this song was about drugs when I was growing up. Maybe not though? | |
| No Use For A Name – The Feel Good Song of the Year Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I think this song might be about divorce. "We may not enjoy living together, but dying together isn't going to solve anything." - quote at the beginning. This starts making more sense around the second verse, and then the very end he's thinking "I'll remarry someday" even though his marriage is "something that is already dead and gone" |

| Osker – Patience Lyrics | 12 years ago |

It's about people giving his band negative reviews for not fitting the cookie cutter punk rock mold. Love this song :) |

| Fireworks – X's On Trees Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song's about things changing over time and regretting something with someone (a girl?) in the past. It's about nostalgia - missing the past, because things have changed between him and this person. |
|
| Fireworks – We're Still Pioneers Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| It's about being pessimistic. Word to your mother. | |

| In an interview, Funk said this song - or at least parts of it - is literally about not being able to write lyrics. | |

| Lagwagon – Sad Astronaut Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| SAD ASTRONAUT - word play for BAD ASTRONAUT, the band Joey Cape was part of with former Lagwagon drummer Derrick Ploude when Ploude committed suicide. This song is about Ploude. R.I.P. brother. | |
| Dillinger Four – The Art of Whore Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think this is pretty clearly about losing a friend once he or she becomes famous. In short, it's about people who sell out. | |

| Transit – Asleep At the Wheel Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song seems to be about growing up and the loss of innocence, as is the video for it. "I miss the breeze of the summer air The sunlight against my skin Do you remember it? We all felt more alive" - Remember the good times? "Yesterday when the wax was burning We tried to stay awake but we kept drifting off" - We tried to stay the same but everyone changed and went different directions. "You never know just what you have until it's gone And after the ink dries every page of this will burn" - Good times, but they're gone and not coming back. "Sitting with my head in my hands outside on the steps of my home You can't take those moments back so hold on and never let go" - I can't believe how everything's changed. I can't redo time, I can't redo the past, so I'll hold on to the memories of what once was and never let them go. Eh? |
|
| Less Than Jake – Faction Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
"Sometimes, you just want to belong" - nuff said for the problem in this song. But this isn't just approaching the problem, it offers a solution! "I've made my own decisions, And I've never felt so strong before" "Sometimes your best defense is a good reminder of your common sense" "So strike a match and hope it lasts, here's to following your own lead." Even though you're left out, you can't sell yourself short to being someone you're not. You have to do what's best for yourself - don't let others determine who you are. Especially when it's hurting you. |

| Lagwagon – B Side Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I wanna know what this is really about, but i don't. However, I will take a guess: It sounds like "Kristina" is afraid to be honest with herself about who she is and she's afraid of becoming something different than the way she thinks she needs to be. Sounds like something Lagwagon would say, dern tootin! |
|
| Piebald – Opener Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Well I can sort of see a few things... but honestly, to me it could be anything. THAT'S how confused I am about it. | |
| Piebald – Opener Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I love this song but I have absolutely NO idea what it's about | |
| Against Me! – Stop! Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
i don't think this song is talking about selling out. i feel like its saying "what's more important, scene elitism and pride, or the music and" - for against me!, who i tend to disagree with on most subjects but none the less - "our message." That's why he's saying "stop, think. what's important? keeping it underground, or staying true to the music we want to play" they haven't sugarcoated a thing, look at all their lyrics. they have NOT sold out. |

| Banner Pilot – Alchemy Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I think this song is about the ways you get by in life when it seems meaningless, and how you keep doing things that don't help, probably because you don't know any other way. "But all this snow keeps piling up We dig, it's never deep enough." Also, maybe enjoying it a little bit? But yet still knowing that something should change, yet doing nothing about it, just keep ignoring responsibility? "So tonight I'll stay here with you. There's nothing else I'd rather do. We'll look for reasons for why we're here, We'll blame the season for this fear." Sometimes realizing that you're just in a pointless cycle, but you keep doing what's pointless: "I get too wrapped up in my own s*** We order one more round and sit" |

| Transit – For The World Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| sounds like its about a parent, mom maybe | |
| Transit – Cutting Corners Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| My guess is this song is about people who do stupid things when they're drunk, and although they're "sorry," they keep getting hammered and making the same mistakes. But we let those people - in this case, probably a girlfriend - walk all over this because we're "dumb enough to keep" them. | |
| Cheap Girls – Stop Now Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| maybe about being bored and not outgoing? but knowing a girl who's really outgoing who he wishes he was more like? a lost love? idk! | |
