| Scissor Sisters – Bicycling with the Devil Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
One could see this song as a viewpoint of someone who is either handicapped in some way (not necessarily the way that is depicted in the lyrics) or is a pariah of society wanting in, or both. The insane lyrics could refer to the delirium one experiences when shoved out of most all social circles/activities. The metaphor of the bicycle could represent someone seeing themself (or other people) as embodiments of evil and sin (perhaps due to the fact that the singer seems to be left out/rejected by everyone else). It honestly sounds a bit like a exquisite macabre peice, too. |

| Scissor Sisters – I Can't Decide Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| It seems like this song is about a man who lives a life of hedenism, and he has a signifigant other who doesn't share in his indulgences. He is trying to decide whether he should kill her or just put up with her. | |

| Radiohead – Knives Out Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Knives out is about people using each other to get what they want, and cannibalizing on people who are down. "Knives out, cook him up, squash his head, put him in the pot" "He's bloated and frozen still there's no point in letting him go to waste." Like the business owner who discovers that another local business has a problem with criminal activity because the owner doesn't serve cops and claims to the public "our business is crime-free! cops are always welcome here!". "Don't look down. Shove it in your mouth" On the same theme of social cannibalism, it also mentions people who know they must feed on the suffering of others, but do not like to think about it that way, such as the big business who poaches all of a smaller businesses clients just to stay afloat, destroying the small business in the process. "Look into my eyes. I'm not coming back." This song also touches on people abandoning others (presumably friends and families). |

| Radiohead – Idioteque Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Idioteque is about the world we live on slowing being destroyed by us through industrialism and war. It also about people still living their lives out and doing the things they enjoy while the small island we live on slowly rots away and, eventually, becomes uninhabitable. Humans will continue to act this way until the earth becomes so degraded that it is impossible for them to go out and have fun in the same ways they do now. |
