| Them Crooked Vultures – Spinning in Daffodils Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Mankind. "What have you turned me into?" A pig in the mud like the rest of 'em. Spinning in daffodils - it's a dog eat dog life. "God in the garden, king of the zoo" "Take one scalp at a time" "I am so high I just may never come down" It's about them RL crooked vultures and corporate life style in general. |

| Queens of the Stone Age – Keep Your Eyes Peeled Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
"Don't look, just keep your eyes peeled." ~ You can gaze at something for hours and never understand it. Like being in school and not retaining a single thing the teacher says. Further shown with the next lyric "Thoughtless" To me it's like the trance that television puts people in. "Shotgun, never behind the wheel.. anymore" You're sitting bitch, you're not in control. After the 2nd chorus, when "underwater is another life" kicks in - the music makes me think of a puppeteer pulling the strings of a puppet.. and then "ragdoll churning eagerly alive" "Big smile, really a show of teeth" When a dog shows its teeth it's not something that is pleasing typically.. "Without a care in a world of fear" Detachment exclaimed.. |

It's about pop culture and the emptiness that enshrines it imo. "I hate rock and roll" A stab at low-art/intellect culture. |

| Queens of the Stone Age – I Never Came Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Unconditional love. No matter what they do to each other.. the love won't die. Love so good, love so bad. It won't die. Words ain't free, like you and me. It won't die. A prisoner of how they feel. Or just him. The way out was to never be present. "I appear missing" |

| Queens of the Stone Age – In The Fade Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Your relationship has an expiration date. Ain't gonna run. Gonna face it. Whatever it is that will end it. You know it's coming. But you keep going until it dies. Countin' and breathin', disappearing in the fade |

Good track. Not typical NIN. That is what defines GREAT though. The ability to step outside your element and still succeed. A song about overcoming diversity, and being one with yourself imo. Check out the some of these live performances from this album NiN Vevo.. after you stop by adblockplus.org |

*To make it more linearly logical I need to "fix" the first part. But my old definition is still sound! Just not thought out :P* Most of what you see my dear is purely for show ***Directed at a fairweather friend. He isn't being real. He's just an actor. Because not everything that goes around, comes back around you know ***Past is gone. Smile Like You Mean It. Holding on too long is just a fear of letting go ***Not holding on, gettin some strange. Because not everything that goes around, comes back around you know *** That reminder that life is fleeting. Kids these days say YOLO right? One thing that is clear it’s all down hill from here *** Past passed gone. Something like that. Can see it applying any which way you like which is why it's so brilliant! |

Song is clearly dedicated to sociopaths. Superficial, fake, machines that are obsolete - indeed! If he had a tail, he'd be king sociopath. |

| Queens of the Stone Age – The Vampyre Of Time And Memory Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
OCD is a motherfucker. Eyes closed, or open. Awake, or asleep. All you can do is remember, and see their face. The choice is yours though, to become bitter or jaded. Or not to. It ain't never going to be the same, or better. Your condition. But you are alive, and for me personally that's enough. People think there has to be a reason. But statistically speaking, you're lucky to be here period. Keep it in mind and move forward because there is no other direction. The past, the lines I wrote above happened a few moments ago - but those moments are gone. While frozen here on this page for you to read, those moments will never return. Depressing perhaps, but it's a matter of fact. The illusion that you feel is real.. fckn epic lyrics. |

| Queens of the Stone Age – Smooth Sailing Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
It's all in motion, no stopping it now. I got nothing to lose & only one way, up I'm burning bridges, I destroy the mirage. All visions of collisions, fuckin' bon voyage *** The decision is made to clearly not give a shit what other people think. Fuck you and your feelings, your beliefs, your everything. Most importantly, fuck you. He's intent on making his attitude known, and cutting through the bullshit. It's all smooth sailing from here on out *** Life is grande without walking on eggshells. I got: bruises & hickies, stitches & scars. Got my own theme music, plays wherever I are ***He wears his attitude on his sleeve. Fear is the hand that pulls your strings. A useless toy, pitiful plaything ***Pretty self explanatory. Fear is what drives you, you're a tool. I'm in flagrante, in every way, every day *** flagrante, caught in the act. He's a "sinner". He's a blasphemer. He makes you question what you believe. He's asking you to appeal to reason. It's all smooth sailing from here on out I'm gonna do the damage that needs getting done ***The truth shall you free. (however subjective it may be.) Well god only knows one long vacation *** Where is god? Apparently not here. Evidence of supernatural anything, anywhere ever is where??? If reason is priceless, there's no reason to pay for it ***If reason is priceless, then why do you pay your church 10% of your income? All the gold to the churches? What does god need with material? It's so easy to see, and so hard to find. Make a mountain of a molehill, if the molehill is mine ***Your belief > mine? Imma build a temple too. It's only a molehill at the moment, wait till I get some gold on the ceiling! I hypnotize you, ignore you, defy you I blow my load over the status quo... here we go I'm a little bit nonchalant when I dance I risk it all-ways, no second chance, it's gotta be ***Seems to be directed at a woman. And his attitude is what is the main attraction to her. He's brutally honest, but at the same time a "bad-boy". Her parents and friends probably hate him. He's the rebel she always wanted to be? He shits all over everything that is "sacred" to these people. Smooth sailing from here on out I'm gonna do the damage 'til the damage is done ***So be it. (amen) Take it or leave it. He gives a shit. Well god only knows, so mind your behavior. Follow prescriptions of your loaded savior ***A pot shot at fake christians, which are the many. Got pills? But you're not a drug addict! You're better than me?! Or you're really just a hypocrite? You're really in a position to judge aren't ya, junkie? I wonder how many pastors and preachers would pass drug tests if given?? People are hypocrites key lesson. Every temple needs gold, every hook needs to shine ***Yes the temple needs gold, material wealth. It's ran by men. They got their hooks in you, the gold is what lures you. Shiny, precious. Utterly fake. Headaches at the temple of the closed mind - Ignorance, and blissfully so at these temples. Knowledge is forbidden. Times in history where if you spoke against the church and it's dogma you would be literally crucified. Dogma is the keyword. It's all smooth sailing from here on out ***Amen Shut up *** his attitude conveyed oh so clearly. Ya braindead funditard motherfuckers. Stfu. :D But this is more of a playful shut up, directed at the woman. And it conveys exactly what attracts her to him. This is my take on it! More than anything else, it's about being brutally honest about what you think. Whatever subject that may be. |

Everyone it seems has somewhere to go ***Except him And the faster the world spins the shorter the lights will glow ***Life is fleeting, frailty, time is running out. Moral compass gone awry. And I’m swimming in the night chasing down the moon ***He's dating, the night representing night life / lust / when you lay your head down / The moon is woman. Mer de noms. A sea of names. The deeper in the water the more I long for you ***The more Fairweather Friends he encounters, the more he misses her. Most of what you see my dear is purely for show ***Who he's with he doesn't give a shit about, it's only to make her jealous. Because not everything that goes around, comes back around you know ***He'll do anything to get her back. Holding on too long is just a fear of letting go ***Precisely. Because not everything that goes around, comes back around you know ***Once in a lifetime thing One thing that is clear it’s all down hill from here ***Best days he's ever known have passed and will not return. The love line in your hand, cleverly disguised ***Her hooks in him. Hook, line, and sinker that is. She promises, and he believes. All the promises of stone, crumble in the night ***All the promises of union / marriage / forevers and sweet nothing's crumble in the lust / promiscuity. ^^^^Imagine that the song / story begins here with these verses and below. Linearly backwards. Most of what you see my dear is worth letting go ***He's devastated, tumbling through turmoil. He's damaged goods. (This can apply to either his lost love or a fairweather friend - one whom his hooks are in. Cyclical..) Because not everything that goes around, comes back around you know ***The old him, the one that once believed won't return. Naivety turned to cynicism. Holding on too long is just a fear of what to show ***He still loves her and is afraid to move on because part of him still believes, a smidgen of hope - he hopes she still loves him too & is afraid if he does what she has apparently done (moved on) that she will be gone for good. Because not everything that goes around, comes back around you know ***Because she's one of a kind to him. Not everything that goes around, comes back around you know ***reality setting in One thing that is clear it’s all down hill from here ***Yep. Death, and taxes. ***This is of course based on my own subjectivity*** Whatever it means, it's brilliant. I'm so damned psyched to see them next month!! |

It's retarded that I can't edit my posts. Another thing I think I should point out. Au revoir means cya later, as in tomorrow or soon. Adieu means maybe the last time you see each other ever. Goodnight - means either goodbye or what you hear right before your head hits the pillow before sleep (after sex). If he had used French words for good night, the next line wouldn't have rhymed. Bonne nuit - Bon nu-wha Lyrical genius imo!! |

On the demo version it's "I'm too wrong, make it right" It just compounds what I think It means with the next the verse - "But I can't wait forever" meaning onto someone new to get what I want. The "package" as APC would put it. and "I don't wanna go into tomorrow" - loathing |
|
| Queens of the Stone Age – Into The Hollow Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Can't edit?! Oh well. Overall IMO it's about endless one night stands, and loathing yourself and other people. | |

Au revoir, Adieu, Goodnight - Goodbye, Farewell, Goodnight - Rinse repeat I'm too wrong to get right. - Condemnation of self, perpetual. Is a monster, accepts that fact. But I can't wait forever - Needs sex, or a fix. I've always been alone - Even when I'm right with you, I'm so far away. The fool believes he's clever - I'm so smart, I repeat the same mistakes Don't you wanna go into the hollow - My empire of dirt, me that is nothing. Want some? I won't go alone, aren't you gonna follow? - Misery loves company I live behind my eyes - I am superficial Be sure to keep the surprise - Don't care about you, not really. But I'll act like I do. Until tomorrow. Cya! I break what I have borrowed - I disregard others' feelings. I don't care about you or me for that matter That's why I always go alone into tomorrow - Self explanatory from above Don't you wanna go into the hollow? - walk with me? I won't go alone, aren't you gonna follow? - into insanity? Fairweather Friends is a baby of this song! |
