| Bright Eyes – An Interview with Conor Oberst Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
So you all know this interview is a joke... I'm pretty sure the voices in the background are a joke too. Here's what I got out of the voices in the back: it's basically Conor Oberst ranting about how he created the Saddle Creek record, and do you want to hear a story about it? (He actually asks, have I told you about Saddle fucking Creek records, to which his friend says I don't think you have.) So Conor says he put out all this avant sad-sad folk shit, and new wave bands, and it's all fucking load of bullshit and he's fucking fed up. And then his friend says "haha, you might wanna think about what you're doing in there... who you're fucking with." More laughing, and then his friend says in a completely serious, "oh shit" tone "Check your FUCKING mic." implying that we weren't supposed to hear this background conversation. I'm pretty sure it's just a secondary joke though. |

| Rise Against – Roadside Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I think this is exactly what it's about. I had a girlfriend recently who I dated for 6 months. I found out she cheated on me 3 times, and each time I gave her another chance. It was so hard to get over her. She was my first girlfriend, and I loved her so much and really wanted to be with her. She was someone I had crushed on for a couple years at that point... it took a lot of work to give her up. Now that I'm over her, I see what was wrong, and this song was one of my favorites at that time. |

| D.R.U.G.S. – If You Think This Song Is About You, It Probably Is Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
So this is my first post on SongMeanings... I really like this song, it's one of my favorites off of the album (along with Sex Life.) I'm going to go over parts of the song... : Some friends, you left me hanging : in a room with a noose and a chair I love this part. The pun is awesome, and I'm thinking along the lines of Chiodos, it's probably about his suicide attempt. : You told me to stay put : And reminded me why I was there So I'm curious as to whether he thought about leaving Chiodos previous to them kicking him out, and if so they might have told him to stay with them, and told him he was there because he couldn't do well on his own, he needed the band's success or something like that. : Cold-blooded and misguided : You thought that this would be your best : Then you tried to hide it : A chance to move ahead I'm thinking maybe he's saying that they were thinking about how to further the band, and they did that by kicking him out... they then tried to hide the "cold-blooded" nature of it by in interviews saying how they "wished him well", etc. : Today was the day : You tried to shut me down : Today was the day : You tried to shut me down! They tried to shut his music up, but he came back strong as ever. : Be honest : Did you ever mention my name? : Did you get sick of the shame? : Did you lie on your back? : Be honest : Did you ever mention my name? : Did you get sick of the shame? : Did you lie on your back like a whore? I'm thinking with the "did you ever mention my name" he might be asking if they were still getting or trying to get popularity with his name. Especially even if it wasn't just with Chiodos. The Chiodos members may have still called themselves "friends of Craig Owens," or other people he knew from maybe high school talk about how they know Craig. And the "whore" might refer to the band dropping out one member for another, I don't know. : Close-minded with no direction : A chance to prove who you were : My friends, you forgot to think : Of all of the things that you're not So he's saying that the rest of the members were close-minded and had no direction for the band. By kicking Craig out, they thought they could prove who they individually were. But he says they forgot to think about what they weren't (such as being good at vocals, etc. That was always Craig's thing.) That's just what I'm thinking. This song is confusing to me though, and there's probably a million ways to interpret it. |
