| Pearl Jam – Hard to Imagine Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think this song is about depression and how it changes the person experiencing it but also how the inflicted person can't explain what they're going through; maybe with the line "I tell a story, no one listen that long" they try to reach out but no one listens. This is just my two cents, of course. |

| Radiohead – Give Up the Ghost Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Although I don't agree with this interpretation because I have my own theory about the entire album, it's still well-thought and I figured I should give you kudos because no one else has yet! Good job! | |

| Radiohead – Bloom Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Quite simply, when I listen to this song, the idea of existence enters my mind. The beginning of time up to when we were born and it continues up until we die and it keeps going and going until humans have gone extinct and even then, it still keeps going. Even when the song stops, my mind is still reeling from the possibilities of the future none of us will ever see. | |

| This song is definitely about depersonalization/disassociation disorder. Look up those two disorders and reread the lyrics. | |
| Nirvana – Help Me I'm Hungry Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
In my opinion, this song is about being trapped in everyday life and knowing there's no escape from the petty way most people think. The narrator in the song knows that differences are shunned in modern society and he sees that and it makes him sick. Help him, he's hungry. He wants help... some sort of attention. But he's afraid to get it. Also, in my opinion, the line 'Write the fucking recipe' is "Like/Life's a fucking resume (as in the credential sheet you give to employers at interviews)" which will tie into my interpretation later. --- ""That's it" Until my tensions Feed me, I'm fucking hungry Degrade me I want my gun back" Whoever Kurt was writing for, I'll call him the narrator, is sick of being tense and deprived in life. He's hungry for some sort of recognition from anyone because he (the narrator) is isolated and afraid. He'd even take negative attention. --- "Like/Life's a fucking resume Experience credentials Experience the process People freaking every day White lights Sitting inside And you get sicker then you get a little better Then a Blasphemy" Life's an experience, he's got his credentials... he's experienced the process and quite frankly, he's sick of it. He can relate to the people that lose it and freak out in whatever situation from stress or what have you. He knows that if he does become one of the 'people freaking everyday', he'll be put away in some sort of insane asylum as described by the 'white lights' and 'sitting inside'. The next line is saying that his theoretical time in the asylum wouldn't help him, that kind of thinking is 'blasphemy'. --- "Hold me, I'm so pathetic And study, all the sudden Baby, suddenly find her Daddy, exploring only" This goes back to the yearning for attention even if it's negative. No idea what the baby or daddy lines mean to the song. --- CHORUS --- "Hold me Until my tensions degrade me I'm fucking hungry Feed me, the wells of comfort Exume me I want my complex back" He feels more trapped than ever. He's fucking hungry. He wants someone to care. He wants to be normal like everyone else and judge and chastise differences without a second thought. He wants, what I assume is, a god complex back so he can act superior to everyone else and be ignorant to the woes of life everyone seems to ignore. --- "A wicked man Picked off the scabs and fed them To the pigeons Help him, he is so cornered Kill him, your mercy whore will" This is pretty self-explanatory. The world judged this man and held him in contempt for being different. They helped him and killed him but it was alright because they were superior and were able to decide the right fate for him. They played God for the wicked man. By acting superior, they give their existence meaning and it makes them happy. --- CHORUS --- "Help me, fucking hoses Help me, until my tensions Praise me, I'm really hungry Degrade me, I want my complex back" This is repeating previous themes. He's still isolated. He wants any sort of attention. He wants the complex back so he can live happily like everyone else. Of course, this is all my opinion. |

| Foo Fighters – Live-in Skin Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
To me, it's pretty obvious what this song is about. It's a song about being yourself, even if being yourself means being a little cynical and different. The verses tell of Dave shedding the things that distracted himself from being the real him. The chorus is Dave saying that he's surprised that he's still able to go on with all of the things life has thrown at him and maybe that's where the cynicism of this new skin comes from. He demands that we all blend in and stop being so fake. The last part of the song that starts with 'turn your insides out to the outside' is what made it so concrete for me. Switch the person you are inside of you that you might hide from others for the person you give to people, the outside person that doesn't offend or cause any waves. Trade your inside out for the outside, turn your insides out to the outside, etc., etc. Also, the live-in skin is the skin where you're yourself and you can't change back for anyone, you won't change back for anyone, you're a live-in skin that's new. And, of course, when I say Dave, I don't mean him in particular, I mean the narrator he's writing for, if that be him or if it was just an idea. |
