| Cage the Elephant – Japanese Buffalo Lyrics | 12 years ago |

One two three four five six There was a guy And his name was Johnny B. The loudest man in the land Alright, okay, alright, okay, alright, okay, uh huh How many times you cross the line Run for days with eager eyes Screaming smile left alone Those crazy things you do In the forest of your mind Haunted by a loss of time Feet stuck frozen in the snow Those crazy things you do Shame Shame Shame Oh oh oh oh oh Shame Shame Shame Oh oh oh oh oh Alright, okay, alright, okay, alright, okay, uh huh Japanese from head to toe And green to red, red to gold Waiting on the buffalo Those crazy things you do Shame Shame Shame Oh oh oh oh oh Shame Shame Shame Oh oh oh oh oh Run it over my skin Like a cheap plastic knife In your heart and your mind Put it always aside Do it over again Till it cuts to the bone We can play by the rules Or just leave it alone It's a shame It's a shame It's a shame That your heart turned to stone That your heart turned to stone Run it over my skin Like a cheap plastic knife In your heart and your mind Put it always aside Do it over again Till it cuts to the bone We can play by the rules Or just leave it alone It's a shame It's a shame It's a shame |

It's 'push THEM to the dirt' not him, but otherwise spot-on. Though it would have been better to put the prechorus at the end in parenthesis. Love the song. |

| I think not as much about being badass as more of a song after people have been doubting you your whole life you get up and prove them wrong. | |
| Staind – Paper Jesus Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| WTF. This has nothing to do with religion. Jesus seems like a cool guy but his fan club sucks sometimes | |
| KoЯn – Tearjerker Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| First of all, money can't buy happiness. Second of all, music isn't even always personal. I find as a songwriter if you limit music to your own experiences you find a very weak and invariant selection of lyrical themes. | |
| Linkin Park – High Voltage (Remix) Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| This might be just me but it seems like it might be about technology going too far and creating a fake lifestyle and world, with high voltage being a literal statement. "My Blood type's Krylon Technicolor type A." | |

| Linkin Park – Wretches And Kings Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
To me it seems like, since this album is a concept album about nuclear war and destruction, this song is about Earth coming towards its end and government is taking too much power, and the US is pretty much reverting to feudalsim (the people up top push the people down low) and the people are starting to stand up against the government and landowners. Long story short, it's pretty much about anarchy. |

| Seether – No Jesus Christ Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I find it arrogant of you to come in here and shoot people's beliefs down. I wouldn't go to a bunch of Buddhists and say "there is no Buddha and they're all stupid." It's someone's religion. Douche. |

| Seether – Fallen Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I love his Kurt-styled sarcasm here. It's about women getting a ton of plastic surgery to improve their appearance, making them fake as a mannequin. | |
| Nirvana – Spank Thru (Fecal Matter Demo) Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think it's funny people take the first verse seriously. He's just making of fun of generic pop music. Come on, "Where the birds fly happily" and "the flowers sing in D Minor" and "oh baby baby", have you ever heard Kurt make lyrics like that? He's joking. This song is the shit. | |

| Nirvana – Heart-Shaped Box (Box Set version) Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I like this version a bit more. I'm a young guitarist and I'm going to playing at a coffee house with a friend of my dad's and I hope to master Heart Shaped Box and do it live. Only this version instead. I like how it's darker and has some cooler lyrics, like 'I've been locked inside the heart shaped coffin for too many weeks.' That's BA. If only Courtney hadn't made him change it. 8( | |
| Nirvana – Something in the Way Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I believe this song is about being extremely lonely in life. Here's a ridiculously overdone analysis of why I think this- "Underneath the bridge, the tarp has sprung a leak" Underneath the bridge, as in a secluded and lonely place. "The animals I've trapped have all become my pets" He's just making anything he can into something to keep him happy. "And I'm living off of grass and drippings from the ceiling" He only lives on what he can find for himself, in other words he's completely independent. "It's okay to eat fish, 'cause they don't have any feelings" He just doesn't care about the outside world, because it doesn't have any feelings in his eyes. "Something in the way" Something's in the way of ending his loneliness but he can't put his finger on it. |

| Soundgarden – Black Hole Sun Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| The pulling faces is relavent to the fact that they're all slowly getting sucked into the black hole, but moving on without noticing, which makes me think about how this song may be about how people disguise themselves in the rest of humanity with little care of what's going on inside their own little world and selfish desires. | |
| Soundgarden – Black Hole Sun Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Great. Did I mention this has happened probably 10000 times before in the history of mankind? Don't go crazy. | |

| Shinedown – Shed Some Light Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I'm a bit too lazy to point out all of the reasons for why I believe this, but I believe this is about redeeming yourself and eventually getting back on the right path. | |
| Shinedown – Atmosphere Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
While this is less complex than all of their other songs, it has a very strong cryptic meaning. I believe this song is about an angel that looks down from Earth from years ago in disgust at what humanity has come to. |
|
| Shinedown – Beyond the Sun Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Just in case no one knows, this is a tribute/cover to honor a musician who died before he could get his start. Smith wanted this song to be heard so he made a cover of it. | |
| Shinedown – Sin With a Grin Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
When I look at it, I always view it as being about someone who is schizophrenic. Here is some evidence to support my cause- "Look left, look right But I'm behind..." This means that the voice in his head is not seen by him, it's more of an essence. "Under my skin, where you've always been Thank you for reminding me to sin with a grin" Under my skin, as in part of me, and the part of you that's 'under your skin' is reminding you to do wrong. "Sin with a grin" [in general] Grin, as in referring to insanity due to their mental state. "I'm inside With two black eyes" Perhaps he means by 'black eyes' obstructed vision, due to his schizophrenia causing him to have obstructed views, moral, or vision. "Everything you did, you said You lit the fuse inside my head" The aforementioned schizophrenia causing his insanity and violent tendencies. "I have not one shred of sympathy I have no use for apologies" The schizophrenia obstructs his moral. |

| Shinedown – Beyond the Sun Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Speaking in 'Beyond the Sun' may mean heaven, which may mean that this is about a man that is dying and is telling someone of what will happen to him. Maybe... but this song is so cryptic it could mean the suicide pact concept, or the love ballad. |

| Shinedown – Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Actually, you won't believe this, I have a booklet that has lyrics as written by Shinedown that came with a CD/DVD and it actually is 'Not the silver, let's go straight for gold!'. So no need to worry about that dispute! (Sounds like the other to me too, I know, but that's how Shinedown wrote it 8/ ) | |

| Actually, I'm not sure... I think it's 'not' instead. :S | |
| Shinedown – The Crow And The Butterfly Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I saw Shinedown live at The Egg on monday, in which Brent further explained the origins of this dream. He said he had a dream one day of a mother in a large open field, swinging alone on a swingset. He eventually realized that this woman was a mother, who lost her son. He said that while everyone views the mother as the crow and child as the butterfly, he views it the other way around. He says he looks at it as the mother is the butterfly, trying to move on in life and start again... but is being stopped by her memory of her son, the butterfly. | |
| Justin Bieber – Common Denominator Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Seriously... this song sucks, like most Bieber music. Seriously, there and bands like Shinedown out there, and THIS is more popular? Seriously? While Bieber is singing "I don’t wanna go back To just being one half of the equation (Half of the equation) Do you understand what I’m sayin’? (Whoa) Girl without you I’m lost Can’t fix this compass at heart Between me and love You’re the common denominator (oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh) You’re the common denominator (oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh)" Shinedown is singing "Your words still serenate me Your lullabies won't let me sleep I've never heard such a haunting melody Oohh... it's killing me You know I can barely breathe... Just like a crow chasing a butterfly Dandelions lost in the summer sky You and I were getting high as outer space I never thought you'd slip away I guess I was just a little too late... " Why not like songs with lyrics with MEANING instead of this crap... |

| Justin Bieber – Baby Lyrics | 13 years ago |

I think this song means- I am a 16 year old kid with no real talent that has a voice higher than all men's and higher than most girls' too that only got into the industry through looks. (even thought he's lacking them) Sad to think with such great, strong songs out there this is the one that's been noticed. |

| Five for Fighting – The Riddle Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Wow... this is inexplicable... so strong and meaningful... so beautiful... it's truly amazing. Obviously, I just have to solve this 'riddle' about the meaning of life. It's a complicated and there is surely more than one answer- but here is a definite view of this riddle. "Dad I'm big but we're smaller than small In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all." Well, I think he's talking about view and perspective. Maybe he means compared to other we're big- but compared to what's out in the world we are very small. "Still every mother's child sings a lonely song So play with me, come play with me" Every mother's child sings a lonely song... hmm... hard to say. I believe it may be that at one point, we are all lonely deep down. So play with me, this means that I'm not lonely by you. I think...? "Son for all I've told you When you get right down to the Reason for the world... Who am I?" Basically, a reason for the world- a purpose of life- is who are you? Finding an identity of your own and not being of sameness but being unique in your own way. "There are secrets that we still have left to find There have been mysteries from the beginning of time There are answers we're not wise enough to see." This defines much of the song, actually. What he's saying is- no matter how much we dig down- no matter how much we believe we understand, there will always be more, and there will always be something bigger than you and more secrets and discoveries to find. "The batter swings and the summer flies As I look into my angel's eyes A song plays on while the moon is hiding over me Something comes over me." Alright, first- the batter swings and the summer flies. This merely represents the passing of time and chronological succession. In essence- nothing stays in place, everything changes. By "his angel" he means a daughter or a wife. As he looks into her eyes, something comes over me. I believe this may mean- a.) Death. He's pleased by the last sight of his true love and passes on. b.) He looks into her eyes and he feels the greatest feeling of intense serenity and joy. "I guess we're big and I guess we're small If you think about it man you know we got it all Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball And I love you free I love you freely." Hmm... big and small. This means- we are- everything. We can be good, bad. Brave, cowardly. Smart, dumb. Strong, weak. Serene, violent, everything. Humans in nature- can be anything, it's determined by how life works and their experiences. And this big bouncing ball- is our Earth, our home. And I love you free- it means that- love happens. It isn't decided, it isn't controlled. It happens, and when it does, it's true miracle. So- the question is, what is the answer? Personally, I believe the answer is nothing, because it is everything. It tells about every aspect of life and your time with it. It tells how you may be big but our universe is much bigger. How life is a search for an identity- something that everybody has and needs- a uniqueness, it tells of love and it's strength and passion, and the miracles that cause and are produced from it. It tells of humans' variety of races and personality, and how each one is, even by a little bit, different than any other. It tells of time, its passing- and its indefeasibly. And so much more- the answer to riddle is everything. It's a beautiful song and among the true greatest song of our fabric of time and history. I want it to play at my own wedding. |

| Five for Fighting – 100 Years Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
It's- like most of FFF's work- a spectacular song. The lyrics are well-written and it really makes us think and gives the odd feeling when hearing "I'm 99 for a moment, dying for just another moment and I'm just dreaming, counting the ways to where you are..." Basically- this song means life is short and death is inevitable, so you have to appreciate life as it is and worry more about today than tomorrow. |
