| Anthony Green – Moon Song Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| I really love this song. I think it's a good mix of serious and funny. Easily my favourite song on the album. And the change up in the last minute or so of the song is fantastic. I love how it changes from a sweet song and then goes crazy. It's perfect! | |
| Tool – Intension Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| It's saying that objects are neutral, and can be used innocently to nurture and help, or can be corrupted and used to destroy and hurt (fire used to warm/lead the way vs to forge a weapon; stone used to make shelter/home vs as a weapon). It's the intention of the person using the object which makes it good or bad (move by will alone). Intension means the internal quality of an object - the song is showing that the quality of the object is modified by the motive of the wielder. | |

To me, this sounds like a love song. He's interested in this girl, and he wants her to leave a destructive relationship of situation and focus on his love for her. He starts by listing her characteristics; despondent, distracted, vicious, and romantic. Aside from the last, these all seem negative, but he says that they're all a few of his favourite things, suggesting that he loves her despite or even because of these things. "All of those flavors and this is what you choose? Pass the blues, pass the blues, And onto something new." 'Flavours' refers to characteristics. He's saying that of all the characteristics she has which he likes, she's choosing to be sad ("the blues," an expression for being sad for those non-English native speakers). He wishes she could get past her sadness "pass the blues," and on to a new flavour (the something new, which is him). The something new is in the next verse: "Something real, Make it timeless. An act of God and nothing less will be accepted." He thinks she should move on from whatever is causing her the blues, presumably something which is the opposite of what he's describing in the chorus. So perhaps she was involved in a relationship which was not real, or that was hurting her, or made her upset or something. He's saying she should find a "real" relationship, with her soul mate "an act of God and nothing less." "So if you're calling me 'Out,' Then count me Out." These two lines are really clever, because he's taking a phrase and using it both in the figurative and literal sense. Usually "calling me out" means bringing attention to a person, and "count me out" means to exclude a person, but he's using a double meaning. In these lines he's figuratively saying "if you're interested in me" and literally to say "if you're going to rename me 'Out,' then I'll take on that name." This is backed up in the next verse. (I'm capitalizing Out to differentiate between using 'Out' as a name vs 'out' meaning the opposite of 'in'). "Yeah we're stubborn and melodramatic, A real class act. You see I know a few of your favorite things." Here he's naming things they both are and the point is to show that he knows her, and is similar to her, which is why she should consider being with him. "Five in the morning and Out comes out pouring love out the same way in." Keeping in mind that his name in song is Out, he's saying at 5am he comes to her showing her his love. "out the same way in" might be saying the way he's showing her his feelings on the outside is a reflection of real feeling he has for her on the inside (instead of playing games or pulling her along). I think it's all kinda romantic to be honest. It's a man in love who wants this woman despite what others might consider bad things (because to him everything about her is good). He's saying that he thinks they were meant to be together, he knows who she is and if she just asks he'll be there for her. |
