| Fugazi – Full Disclosure Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I think given the war theme it's about PTSD. He's rambling in this crazy manner like he has lost his mind "I want out!" like someone who's been traumatized by what he has seen in war and just wants to go back home. Then when the melodic chorus comes in he says, "I want a mutually assured destructive life seizing separate culture to take me over. Moving silent like radar, take me over and blow out my mind. Full disclosure coming sponsored by no one. Take me over and blow out my mind ejected." Maybe he's asking to die, whether it be in combat or by his own hand. The chorus becomes less aggressive and more melodic as he realizes he has figured a way out if it's my suicide theory. It sounds like he's almost begging to die. Or maybe it's him wanting for the war to end. If the sacrifice of his life could potentially mean an end to the fighting it would all be worth it. Maybe that's why the chorus is so uplifting. He's found the hope and courage to keep fighting on and see the happy ending after all this blood shed. |

| Fugazi – Forensic Scene Lyrics | 9 years ago |

This song is too underrated. It's about a guy who walks in on his girlfriend cheating on him, but it can be broadened to just betrayal in general. He paints this act of betrayal like a crime and him walking in on it is like stumbling in on a forensic scene. "In your memory not so gentle, perversify slash sentimental." He mentions "memory" twice. This is him referring to all the memories they had together that now seem so pointless. "Caught between and caught without." The girlfriend was caught in the act. "I'm your failure not your failure now." He's beginning to doubt himself. Was he not good enough? But it doesn't matter now because they are through. She doesn't have to deal with this "failure" anymore. "In and out just like a knife would, tax the flesh and leave a cheap wound." Obviously sex, but he portrays it like a crime; makes it seem evil. "Fucked and fucking love and lay, congenitally fractured any way." More about sex, betrayal, and how messed up the situation is to him. His heart is broken. "unclipped, unclean, this forensic scene's all played out. The defense rests and sorry is just a no shit sherlock, mouth talk, con job." It is clear what has just happened and no amount of apologies can reverse the effects of these actions. "From your memory to this instant, worked so hard for working distance." He's worked hard and tried to appease his girlfriend and now it has all gone in vain. "Like a mouth to late to shut." Again he's talking about how it's too late for redemption. Her actions have already taken place and the damage has already been done. "I'm your failure not your failure now." |

| Fugazi – Do You Like Me Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| I've heard a lot of different talk about this, but I found an interview where Guy says the first part is supposed to be a really messed up love song then the second part is split into two sections: the part about prisons (I can't remember what he specifically said about that) and the fantasy of Lockheed Martin burning down. For me the brilliance in this song is more in the prose than the meaning. I mean who would think of rhyming "crashing jets" with "religious"? | |
