| Powerful Modern Worship Songs – Pharoh Pharoh Lyrics

it's Louie Louie! sort of. a fine portrayal of a popular rock and roll song into a display of the Book of Exodus. there' s not much more i can offer, except to advise you read the book of exodus. And why hasn't anyone done a recording of this song? i want my Pharoah, Pharoah, gosh darn it!!! by the way, i would like to take this oppurtunity and advise the songwritings of Ivan Freeley. not many, but look them up on songmeanings.net ~canteendave |

| Thousand Foot Krutch – Lift It Lyrics
| 23 years ago
|
|
it's clearly a worship song, being this a christian band. but by the analogy of God marrying the church (stemming from adam and eve - adam=God eve=all of humanity, get it? Satan tempted eve first, or all of humanity. eve fell, all of humanity fell. pure genius) so by carrying the marriage analogy, by showing our male love for women we bring god's love to the world. of course, as with all things, we need god an intricate part of such equation, but that's how it is. the song might have something to do with a girl, but no doubt (When in Doubt, get it? ahh, i kill myself sometimes) the lifting up of pain, trouble, the surrendering all is definately to God. Like "I'm Trading My Sorrows" a terrific song, though not by Thousand Foot Crutch. |

i don't see the change! he ridicules rainbows and how people practically worship them at times, and he doesn't change. maybe the connection is the proof on how we'll prove the lovers and the dreamers wrong. i don't know, just maybe. i'll have to add to the list of irisheyes...frontside porches and lemonade at dusk while sitting on lawn chairs. those are the best, while watching fireflies, and such. God Bless. |

| Jimmy Buffett – Pencil Thin Mustache Lyrics

clearly speaks of his nostalgia for the past, and the way things used to be. the line about college is evident in most student's lives, and perhaps buffett's in his adventures on campus. i can only speak my dissapointment in him as a fellow catholic, for its clear he hasn't changed entirely too much, as is evident in "Why don't we get drunk and screw"

| They Might Be Giants – Dr Worm Lyrics
| 23 years ago
|
|
Obviously this song deals with the symbolism of World War II, and the potential of a nuclear war composing World War III. 'Dr. Worm' is a totalitarian dictator's lead General-Scientist for Research and Developement on Arms and Warfare. He conducts maniacal experiments, and feels empathetic towards his patients, apologizing that he is not a real doctor, but still interested to know whatever this particular experiment may pertain to. The drums then logically represent his warfare ideas, which he likes to use quite often. He comments on how he'll show you what he can do, but can take criticism. This is contradicted by the next statement, 'i can't hear the doorbell', with heavy metaphorical values pertaining and relating to the simple fact that he won't listen to the obvious answer, being at the door. The answer is obviously in religion, as he hands the stage over to his rabbi friend, allowing him a solo. His true dreams, however, come from his desire to be the real ruler of the world, the true totalitarian dictator, as is evident in the case, 'Some day somebody else besides me will call me Dr. Worm'. This may actually simply be his desire to become a real doctor, giving reason for others to name him 'doctor.' His use of 'some day' denotes his predictions for World War III's occurrence, and perhaps hopes then will be the time for his becoming a supreme dictator doctor. This is a prime representation of American Literature, rivaling that of even the great Emily Dickinson. Thank you. ~Canteen Dave |

| Ben Folds Five – Air Lyrics

i realize the song clearly talks in the beginning about a drowned or near drowned someone or other, but when i listened to it, the first thought in my head was of space. in one of the Space Odyssey books they pull this dude in from space at the beginning, and it reminds me of that. towards the end the signer changes perspectives and is looking from the guy coming back to life. interesting.

how come guys don't get asked by the girls anymore? where's the equality there? if girls don't start taking responsibility, i think their right to make decisions (i.e. voting) should also be restricted. sorry, just thought i needed to add an exaggerated sarcastic comment based on truth. thanks for your time. |

| The Rabbit Joint – Legend Of Zelda Lyrics

alright kids, this is how it is, plain and simple. my theories are that this band just got done beating Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past (SNES, "Link" being the main character for those not in with the proverbial "in-crowd"). i think they loved it so much they wrote a song about it simply because they could. this strikes me as awesome that a band would record about a video game. you'll have to excuse me if you don't agree, but i'm an avid nintendo fan. |

| System of a Down – X Lyrics

i think its a direct allusion to jesus on the cross, considering the quotes are incredibly obvious, such that one should be smacked in the face for not seeing it. but anyhow, many assume it talks of angels dying, not considering the song states the negativity of the death of angels or the deserving thereof. Here stated, "I CRY when angels deserve to die." i think it talks of the superficiality of the world as we know it (makeup and carkeys on the table, etc), the attempts to hide the scars of our sin, the death of god to save us from it, and the fact that no one believes god died, went to hell, and came back for us. dude, no one trusts in his death, or self-righteous suicide. its a "suicide" in this context as an insight into how jesus didn't fight it, but gave himself up. very neat that all this is shown in a new light through this band. the truth is that they may have not meant it that way at all, that they mey perhaps hate god and all that stuff. Be the intentions with purpose or with accident, the outcome and message is still the same. thanks for yout time. ~ canteendave@hotmail.com |

You know what? i bet the band did this song as intentionally insanely simple, making it exceedingly hilarious, similar to "Oh, Canada" by Five Iron Frenzy, or "Corey Matthews" by Suspicious Delicious. anyhow, this band would be really awesome if that's the case, otherwise i think i hate their music. either way, it literally says something simple and innocent. if the symbolism contained in the song suggests something else, then another good reason to hold contempt toward symbolism. american literature has symbolism, terrorists have symbolism, i don't buy it or believe in it. if the author wants to say it, why don't they just come out and say it? that and oh, go to church. thanks. |

I like the fact that this is a christian band and this song either intentionally makes no sense (making it hilarious) or the symbolism is so thick it doesn't make any sense. if the symbolism part is true, then they did it on purpose (which makes them hilarious) or thought it would mean something. oh well. |
