| KoЯn – Twisted Transistor Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| Twisted Transister means technically no more nor less than exactly how the words are defined, which is to say there are electronic components made to amplify or switch, in however any bizarre or deviated manner, a device which... okay, time to stop this charade. The full song describes in no small manner the music's power, volume, ability to figuratively or quite literally bore (or both) into the user, in an increasingly even addictive manner, not entirely differently from the plainly and dually implied sexual manner. Love, music, sex: their intertwined relationship forever breaching, preaching, a merciless drug, after all what is this "dance" but another euphemism? To deny this sexual undertone (or is that dualtone, lol) is as foolish and idiotic to deny why music is used for dancing. Ofc, to those misunderstood, never recognized, all the more reason it's cherished and deeply profound: to this music's plea, our screams are truly but whispers. Perhaps they hear, but silence reigns in absence, the master (music) demands more. "You're in a mess." The second verse's lines are more blatantly sexual, though they could also be written off as despondant and violent since they are as well. Frankly, the song is pretty clever, but for the correlation between sex and music, surely only as old as sex and music are. People are really only insulting themselves by pretending otherwise. Flipside, the intention is clear: music digs into you. So does sex. It never stops. Period. | |
| Green Day – Nice Guys Finish Last Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
This song is a little difficult to understand--I had some major trouble at parts--esp if you consider what women want, any particular derivatives of "nice" and ofc the well known derogatory "nice guy"... the **** you talking about? The song mentions none of this, so why are you grandstanders purposefully derailing? GD didn't make this song just for you. They made it for and about everyone who pulls this crap. Now seriously, spending up to your last bending over for the rest based on some inherent principle of right, (whatever), regardless of origin--divine, personal, abstract, wtf, as if it matters what YOU ultimately choose assign--doesn't mean squat even if it does occasionally pay back, your worldview is hilarious because it's still the mere truth according to you. Go ahead and pat your back till it breaks, it means nothing: karma is only a bald faced lie used to justify an outsider's outlandish bull. If it helps you sleep, grats... so long as your head doesn't explode from the strain. For all practical (mental) purposes, you will (if you haven't already) finish last. Hooray for you. Don't be surprised at the people that laugh over all the extra work you create for yourself, Mr. Joker. No wonder there's such a demand for shrinks.... |

| Steve Miller Band – Your Saving Grace Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
@[lyss:50535] Fly Like an Eagle is highly derivative. And not only are the lyrics ridiculously repetitive, they whole song is based off a riff from an earlier hit, My Dark Hour. Yes, I've never admittedly been much of a fan for all of the above, plus I appreciate My Dark Hour more anyway, but the fact remains, the song despite its popularity is severely overrated, esp by comparison to much greater hits like Jet Airliner (w Threshhold ofc), Swingtown, The Joker, Rockin Me, Jungle Love, Dance Dance Dance, etc, even lesser knowns like Your Saving Grace and Baby's House. |

| Foo Fighters – Wheels Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| The meaning is two fold. On the one hand, it could be a great time, a high or era, that's ending. Or you feel down, your life's particular low, bottom's out. Either way's a journey's end, your memories flashing before your eyes. Wishing for anything but the end, there only one way to take: forward. From here, the heart can only heal, and there's more in store for you. Wheels: the flying metaphor is perfect. One chapter ends, a new one begins. Also like a band, from one album to the next. | |
| Marilyn Manson – The Beautiful People Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
The Beautiful People is a terse and fugly 60's expression that was created to both represent and stigmatize the fashion is beauty and vain culture coming out of the post-war era of the time. As it came to be known derogatively, Manson and Twiggy use it as well to describe the insufferable self image--size of steeple--society forces on itself, the pitiful the vain stomp in their insane lust for adulation at their ego, and the supreme bullcrap none of these morons see as they're too busy wallowing in their own filth to give a damn about anything else. That's what we're told anyway, and we eat it right up until some tyrannical bastard decided they know better than the rest and shake things up. Because, of course, the only thing worse than living in misery with pseudo-freedom is living in more misery with no freedom. Why? Because we ARE the beautiful people. Yes, the beautiful people. White washed tombstones obsessed with the size of our *ahem* "steeples." Yeah, it's a dick joke too people. Laugh it up. |

| Pantera – 10's Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| @[jackrules:40761] No doubt about the reference, 10\'s is a needle reference, though it could as easily allude to perfection--not in the coincidental Asian sense (ten literally being perfect as a number and in meaning) as much as somebody with a perfect body or rather the body being perfect.\r\n\r\nNot really a genitalia joke, not that the band would ever mind or care TOO much, but Pantera being a real heavy metal band not their purest intention.\r\n\r\nFtr, I know certain bands, even hugely popular ones can come off as whiny, because truthfully they really are in at least some way, but their members aren\'t completely worthless. Just look at Billy Corgan. He\'s done some good work despite being a pretentious egomaniac that pretends he\'s tone deaf. Probably have someone else write his own autobiography, despite the fundamental dichotomy. Besides, it could always be worse. | |
| John Denver – I'm Sorry Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| It unnerves me a great deal that people only see a part of this song\'s meaning. I\'m here to set this straight.\n\n1stly, this song was written regarding Denver\'s increasingly estranged relationship with his wife (Annie) and son, at the time, both of whom he wrote many songs. This was somewhat of his way of both apologizing for being away so much and accepting his part of the blame for the inevitable dissolution of these relationships.\n\nHowever, as much as he takes the blame for the distance (being on tour, like "in China") and the way things were, between seemingly blaming himself for everything he recognizes that this is somewhat facetious and silly at the same time (really, "the way things are in China?") and that he is ultimately having himself a minor pity party ("more than anything else, I\'m sorry for myself, cuz you\'re not here with me...") or "living without her" because they or she\'s decided not to have a locomotive relationship, and instead she\'s "chained down" to a life for which he again solely blames himself. While being solely sacrificial, it also means she\'s not responsible for her own destiny, hinting that her happiness is also her own out, and that while he accepts full responsibility for his foibles, she needs to accept responsibility for hers, and find a way to make herself happy when he is unable to fulfill his duties as a husband.\n\nSo perhaps a better title for the song might be, "I\'m Sorry, but I Cannot Help You to Help Yourself." Ugh, nvm. That title sucks. Original SHOULD be good enough. It\'s true though. Try defying nature if you desire. You can\'t always count on others. Fundamental impossibility. | |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning Lyrics | 4 years ago |
|
Wasn't planning on commenting. Since there seems some irreconcilable differences, I'm going to put what makes the most sense, how this settles most of that, and a bit how it relates to the other version. NOTE: not a by-section breakdown. I'm sticking to major points. From past, tragic, recent or otherwise, memory drives. Well, for some anyway. The song is so purposefully ambiguous, it could be about: villain, hero, or.... Well, whatever the color of your actions, your here and now has come to an "end". You're the last of a long line, like Bruce, or simply trying to save someone and failing horribly, like Freeze. Well, from the apparent End, to be born again, and see the world from where you are, does it seem different? Good or bad? Does this make you happy? The character--let's call it the strange and lonely god, for it is the master of its own reality--is being seen for who they really are. The song is written from the outsider's perspective. He or she knows, could just as easily sit with this strange, lonely god and watch the world do as it pleases, so long as they are themselves satisfied (perhaps and preferably together). It does not ultimately matter. There is no good. There is no evil. There is only... truth, decided by whoever is the winner. The only thing that matters is the two--the surveyor and the lonely god--and what they decide to make of life. Is any such person really so strange? Maybe. In terms of actual subjects, this could suggest that the singer or author is someone close to the subject. If the Batman universe, likely his love interest from the movie, or even Robin. It could just as easily be Freeze and Ivy, or his wife if he managed to bring her back. However, it is unnecessary to limit it to that. The song can be applied to pretty much anything. This is why it worked perfect for Watchmen: ambiguity and lack of true meaning, other than that which is made in the here and now. Lastly, another point, perhaps the largest point--hence the name--is that of (re)birth, death, and rebirth. I put it that way because the song tries to make an example of that constant cycle, again considering this song's "twin", and how they collide in beautiful and infinite majesty. Believe it or not, that may be another reason to stop and watch it burn, because even the most profoundly horrid of fire can mesmerize. Naturally, this song tries to exemplify this order, whereas the other version attempts picture to death (starts with the death having already taken place), (re)birth, and death (destruction). The point appears to be it doesn't matter comes first, as the cycle blurs from one person to another: even if you "see" fine lines, there's still the excuse that something resulted from the opposite from any angle before. It's a hopeless chicken and egg argument. |

Was kind of looking for something to confirm my own analysis. Not seeing that, I will provide instead. Nope, not doing a by-section breakdown. I'm just going over major points and a little of how it relates to the other supposedly similar song, which is actually what I originally and only intended to comment on. The song is purposefully ambiguous, it could be about: villain, hero, or.... Well, whatever the color of the character's actions, its now come from its apparent End, defeated and lost. It doesn't matter if it's the last of a long line, like Bruce, or simply trying to save someone and failing horribly, like Freeze. Well, from The End, to be born again, and see the world from where you are, does it seem different? Good or bad? Does this make you happy? The character--let's call it the strange and lonely god, for it is the master of its own reality--is being seen for who they really are. The song is written from the outsider's perspective. He or she knows, could just as easily sit with this strange, lonely god and watch the world do as it pleases, so long as they are themselves satisfied (perhaps and preferably together). It does not ultimately matter. There is no good. There is no evil. There is only... truth, decided by whoever is the winner. The only thing that matters is the two--the surveyor and the lonely god--and what they decide to make of life. Is any such person really so strange? Maybe. In terms of actual subjects, this could suggest that the singer or author is someone close to the subject. If the Batman universe, likely his love interest from the movie, or even Robin. It could just as easily be Freeze and Ivy, or his wife if he managed to bring her back. However, this song is not quite as vague as the other. The second verse reflects upon aspects of Batman's armor >"climb my ribcage to" and then perhaps his stun grenades or smoke bombs, in addition to his batlight or other devices >"unhook my lights to peek around my flash" although they could just as easily refer to Freeze's flashy costume and his rather flashy ice weapons. The next line, however, is decidedly breezy. >"For I am crystal chrome" yikes, not to mention that the last lines describe devastation that could only be delivered by the King of Cold's building shattering weapons. This would be the reason that this song was ill-fitted for, say, The Watchmen preview. Still the overall message can be applied, as well as the last points I'm about to mention. Lastly, perhaps the largest point--hence the name--is that of death, (re)birth, and death. I put it that way because the song tries to make an example of that constant cycle, and again considering this song's "twin", how they collide in beautiful and infinite majesty. If you think about it, that may be another reason to stop and watch it burn, because even the most profoundly horrid of raging fires can mesmerize. Naturally, this song tries to exemplify this order, whereas the other version attempts picture to (re)birth, death, and (re)birth. The point appears to be it doesn't matter comes first, as the cycle blurs from one person to another: even if you "see" fine lines, there's still the excuse that something resulted from the opposite from any angle before. It's a hopeless chicken and egg argument. |

| Bad Religion – Atheist Peace Lyrics | 4 years ago |
|
Some songs like these confuse me slightly, or I'm tempted to come around to see my conception of a song's meaning fits what others think. I pretty much got that with all the religion gone or not given any credit, atheists do nothing but fight among themselves and proselytize each other--in reality subconsciously still just reconvincing themselves and justifying their actions--instead of actually living peacefully, like we thought we would. Essentially, all the crap I used to put up with socially every day despite being an atheist myself, and in all honesty making me feel so revolted and disgusted to actually call myself an atheist. For shame, it's all the exact same crap that people so proudly throw religion around all over the place. So tell me, how does it feel to be exactly like that which you effing loathe the most? So much so that you spend your life whining about the existence of gods? That sounds familiar too. It's an insult to atheism and evwrything it stands for. I live my every day as if gods don't exist because in my world, they simply don't. Does that mean they actually don't. Eff if I know.. Don't care either. My life. My rules. Wouldn't be able to call myself an atheist if I thought otherwise. That's what this song is trying drive home. If you're gonna be a brain-deaf, lying air-thumper, get out. We don't need anti theist moles. You're in the wrong club. And ftr, if religion is gone, just like everything and every time else, the universe finds another excuse. Race, gender, orientation: that's all it really is. An excuse, aptly for hope and love. Works pretty well for some people. Sure not me, but who am I to take that from them? So long as they don't they don't take mine feom me.... |
