| Kyuss – One Inch Man Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
One Inch Man, lonely soul (he's insecure and lonely). Two Inch Man, Two Inch Man, gimme more (he's had a sex "fix" and becomes two inch man). This man is not into love in the true sense. His relationships are about sex. His feelings of self worth are based on "scoring" sexually. He's never anything higher than two inch man for this reason. He's a "small" individual because of this maladjusted behavior, whether he scores or not. He's a womanizer using women for sex. He becomes temporarily gratified and moves onto the next one: Five steps back, get him back (he's moved onto another woman) Three steps up, get him up (give him an erection) He doesn't know about love and none of his "relationships" are long and so he's "Always so lonely, lonely, lonely Always so lonely, lonely, lonely" Damn my thoughts for you, do you really wanna fuck me? (I want no deep thoughts for you or of you, I just want to use you for sex). Love my time for you, do you really wanna hold me? (He thinks he's a sex god). Had my time for you, do you really wanna hold me? (Times up, I'm moving on). Love my time for you, do you really wanna? (I'm a sex god so love the time spent in my company) Always so lonely, Once Inch Man, he's breathin' - his lifestyle gives him no real sustenance. All he can do is just about "breathe" after scoring. |

Religion and philosophy are not the same. She's comparing the two. She describes religion in positive ways and philosophy in negative ways. "Religion is a light in the fog" is a line (among the others) that clearly describes religion positively. She's saying philosophy leads one astray while religion saves. |

| Soundgarden – No Wrong No Right Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I think perhaps that the previous comments about this song need to be flipped around. Soundgarden are not a "subversive" band. They would not in this song be saying that wrong and right are the same, that it rains on the good and bad alike. In fact what they are saying is: "No wrong no right or guilt admission It's all the same You've been bitten, you've been bitten" You have to take into consideration the last line - "you've been bitten" For me, this last line implies that those who view wrong and right as the same are "bitten" or doomed. It is indeed a song that advises one to regard morality. |

I think this song describes the true, positive value of religion, as opposed to philosophy, which is described as 'a talk on a cereal box' (pointless intellectualising) and 'a walk on slippery rocks' (you might fall and hurt yourself). Religion is described as 'a smile on a dog' (simple creature that knows the simple truth) and 'a light in the fog' (guidance through the confusion). Perhaps she says 'choke me in the shallow water, before I get too deep' to say that philosophy leads you up the garden path and makes you confused if you go too far into it. So she says stop me now before I get too deeply into it. Jesus said, love God and love your neighbour, which is the simple truth. |

I think this song is about the true, positive value of religion as opposed to philosophy which is described as 'a talk on a cereal box' (pointless intellectualising) and is also described as 'a walk on slippery rocks' (you might fall and hurt yourself). Religion is described as 'a smile on a dog' (simple creature which knows the simple truth) and 'a light in the fog' (guidance through the confusion). Perhaps she says 'choke me in the shallow water before I get too deep' to say that philosophy just leads you up the garden path and confuses you if you get too involved in it, so stop me now before I go too far. Jesus said, love God and love your neighbour, which is the simple truth. |
