| Interpol – Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| @[rumzt:2288] possibly a girl (who suffered from depression) whom he used to have casual sex with and she passed away by drowning? OR maybe the song isn't sad at all... I guess its one of those that's very open to interpretation. I LOVE MUSIC, especially INTERPOL :) | |

| If this song is about getting a BJ from a girl called Stella then why is it so sad? Me thinks there's definitely more to it... | |
| Inner Circle – La Long Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I agree with everyone who says that this song is about rape because that is clearly what this song is about. I was very young when I first heard it and the first time i heard it I immediately could hear that it was about a man raping a woman, and I don't understand how anyone else can interpret it differently? It is disgusting that they would sing about rape in such a happy overtone and would give Reggae, an otherwise awesome genre of music, such a negative context. I can't believe that such a sick song became so famous. Just goes to show what a sick world we live in :( | |

Weird... so very weird... Firstly I didn't pick up the drug references at first but after reading some of the comments I get that perspective but I don't feel that it’s entirely about drugs or drug addictions, and it's a very ambiguous song indeed. I was out a few nights ago and I met a girl Christina for the first time. She had added me as a friend on Facebook a while ago... she had liked my posts, and I'm a lonely, introverted guy that most people ignore so it was weird that she had just randomly added me and had liked pretty much all of my posts on Facebook when hardly any other people bothered to... she had also posted her pictures on Facebook (as she is a photographer) it was so fucking weird because I felt this weird connection with her - someone who I had never met. On the day that I knew I would meet her (we both happened to be going to the same musical gig) just sitting at work I had like these weird butterflies or spontaneous heart palpitations or something every now and again, just when the thought of meeting her popped in my head - very weird. My friend had told me that she used to date a famous musician so maybe it was that which subconsciously triggered it but I don't think it was. So the night came and I met her and we chatted and that entire connection I felt just grew more. Maybe it was all the drinking and smoking weed we did that made me feel this way but I had seriously NEVER MET ANYONE QUITE LIKE HER BEFORE. I tried to kiss her as we were isolated listening to a band, but she just let me give her a peck on the cheek and from there everything in my mind went insane... haywire, I felt so confused and awkward and uncomfortable but didn't let it show and we just carried on the night as we had before, just chatting and being friendly with one another and I stopped pursuing her in that way which might have been a mistake, I donno. The girl that I am actually in a relationship with had actually proposed to me a week before this incident. I don't know what I felt honestly. Anyway that night after having parted ways with Christina at the musical event I went to go sleep at some random girls house who was sexing my friend in her upstairs bedroom while I sat down stairs talking to a different girl, Zelda, the entire night who had just sniffed some nasty cat (street drug methcatinone) and I'm a recovering addict so it was just awkward for me being there and I felt so mentally sick from the alcohol I had drunk and the incident with Christina earlier. Random girl Zelda played SOAD and Smashing Pumpkins (eventually both at the same time) all the bloody night and surprisingly two bands that I fucking love made me insanely depressed (I am manic depressive by nature). I didn't sleep at all as she kept me up talking about whatnot due to her being high on the drug and she felt bad about it as she had also quit ages ago and had only done it because of peer pressure by her friend upstairs. All I kept thinking about was trying to kiss Christina and the weird way I felt towards her... I have never met anyone quite like her before... such a loving person.... my feelings were... are... so mixed up. The next day, super sleep deprived I sat at work having to deal with a million new responsibilities that I have been assigned as the company is going through serious changes, I put Temptations on repeat and listened to it a hundred times over and the lyrics made more sense than mostly any other song I have heard in my life. I have found myself being, and even often literally, walking alone after a night of drinking and drugs many times before in my life as I have always been useless with women and still am, and this was just another of those nights. I basically lied to the girl I'm currently seeing about even going out that night to begin with. She is emotionally unstable and obsessed with me and definitely doesn't deserve an underachiever and deeply insecure person like me. But she claims to have never met anyone quite like me before either... (well not her exact words but anyway you get my meaning) Listening to Temptation was so befitting to my situation in so, so, so many ways... it was like a revelation... and I am still absorbing the entirety of it ... I just can't stop thinking about Christina no matter how hard I try... and the circle I cannot break... the selfish desires I allow myself to partake in and lying to people... I want to change and do something that helps others (animals at first because if I can't even help myself how am I supposed to help other people?) and I hope to get on that path of no longer being purely self-serving and merely praying for other beings but physically take action in making a positive difference in their lives. That is what I somehow got out of listening to Temptation. I’ll find my soul as I go home. And most importantly, "Oh, it's the last time"... I really hope I give up drinking forever this time. Just to add - I didn't catch what color Christina's eyes are... :| Thanks for reading |

| Mushroomhead – Inspiration Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I think he is being sarcastic toward both Moses and Jesus from the Bible as Moses crossed the sea as the angels parted it, while Jesus physicaly walked on the water in the sea, so the lyrics in a way reference these incidents and use the concept to mock notion of religious Christian belief... I might be totaly off but this is how I see it... there are other mentions of Biblical idiology as well like the 'fallen' 'hell' 'redemption' ... it's a fasinating song as it kind of starts with almost this underlining warning "There is doom in the words of the fallen blinding the minds, of the young" and then its almost like he becomes the fallen and preaches: "there are truths in the lies of forgiveness" I think also "fall down and worship the sun" in particular the word 'sun' is a double entendre as it reffers to idolatry, which is a big no-no in the Bible, and reffers to the Son as in Jesus Christ again. so intristingly its like he is speaking from both sides heaven and hell ... sorry started with the answer to your Q and got carried away, but better to put it here than on a seperate comment... sweet, all the best to you, much love and respect, thanks for reading |

I just wanted to put my thoughts down because I totaly hear what you guys are saying hey. I actually grew up listening to Korn, and the friend that introduced me to the band is actually a Jehova's Witness now, and wouldn't hear anything of them anymore. I tried Korns new stuff, but I don't enjoy it hey, it's just a personal opinion though, something about their style doesn't appeal to me anymore. But I think that they are still an amaizing band and their old stuff is still awesome like the album Take a Look in the Mirror. I am actually a spiritual person, I can say that I have a relationship with God although I don't like being reffered to as a Christian, because that word just has so many negative conotations now... you have Christians killing all over the world, who ruin the good name of Christianity. Anyway back to the topic, you know I don't think people should take music and especially lyrics personally and a lot of people do that and get offended over this that and the third, but it is just the artists personal self expression that he is sharing with us and it has absolutely nothing to do with anything that goes on in our lives. Okay I understand that you get susceptable kids out there that might be affected by the lyrics and might end up doing something stupid and maybe even comitting suicide... in that case I would reffer you to something the the great comedian Bill Hicks said... but I'm too lazy to look up the quote :P I was told Jonothan use to work as an assistant to a coroner... That might explain the lyrics to this song, if he wrote them it would make perfect sense... I mean having to see death and work with dead bodies every day for such a long time, it will completely desensitize you to life and love and the meaningful things in the world... Dealing with death first hand like that those people must be as morbid as the Grim Reaper himself. You know this especially corolates to that part where he goes: I am filthy ect... I like the song, I don't take it personaly and it helps on days I feel angry, it chanels the rage. I still pray tho :P |

| Tool – Opiate Lyrics | 13 years ago |

I'm a christian and I love TOOL and i love this song... can someone explain to me how that works? Please your opinions are greatly appreciated, and please don't just say something like; you are confused or you are in contradiction with yourself. I agree that religion is an opiate and I've studdied sociology and am well familiar with Jung and Marx theories. i believe that religion is a man created dogma and ideology but i also feel the presence of God and the Holy Spirit as very real. I agree with Nihilist ideas that essentially morality is man made and therefore ultimately flawed, and my favourite proposition is by post-modernist Karl Popper, who basis every social structure that man kind creates be it law, a theory, and in my opinion even religious beliefs, can all be countermeasured by both the processes of conjecture and refutation. Thus to say they can be disproven to work as equally as they can be proven to work. But Jesus as a faith means following His principles which are of Goodness... Same as the Buddha, and franky there are so many examples of people like Jesus in all cultures historical refferences as the documentary Zeitgeist will show you... The truth is that these people and Jesus all sought to abolish religion... because religion is just that, a man made ideology that has no logical basis or reasoning. The goal was to merge the people from the world into a single utopia. The idea He died for a sins can be looked at negatively because now if we sin we are automatically cleansed of our sins, but this is metaphorical and literal, for it can install the idea of true love in the heart of man. Indeed a big aspect of this is faith, but faith and spirituality are completely different things to religion. And even a band like TOOL can recognise an inteligent creator, if you listen to a song like Schism. Even this song itself doesn't Blasphemy Jesus, because they are calling unto Jesus, maybe Sarcastically maybe not, but His 'lies' could only be implied to juxtapose what he is saying. I don't like to be reffered to as a christian because of the negative connotations that word carries now. Just that I have a relationship with God. Anyone agree? Would love to hear what you guys think and views on this matter. |

I think what Serj is saying is simple and yet delicately beautiful People have been misguided and now is the time for us to arise and embrace spirituality and put the past behind us. It could also be about ending all the confrontations with east-asia. |
