| A Perfect Circle – Judith Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| @[lena:52707] It's literally about his mother, Judith, and her continued faith in the CHRISTIAN GOD even as she was sick, which he found absurd. He was probably also angry because while she was praying and thought her god would save her (she died, so yeah..), Maynard was stuck with his abusive stepfather, and his mother was too busy believing in a magic man to care about her son. | |

| @[carrieoc:52706] Jesus is the church, genius. Jesus is a fake character from a book. Maynard believes in spirituality. | |

| @[IceKeyMaster:52705] Wrong. This song is about ORGANIZED religion, specifically Christians. He believes in spirituality, not your silly book full of gross fantasies. | |

@[SongMeanings:51654] Sometimes I miss the 2000s, and then I remember that "tough guy" losers were actually considered cool back then. Hopefully this website is ran by normal human beings instead of a compensators nowadays. This shit is genuinely so edgy that if I said this ANYWHERE nowadays, I would be immediately outcast for being a humongous loser. And it has nothing to do with "snowflakes" when you insects are the ones who scream and cry, posting this bravado bullshit in response to anybody who hurts your itty bitty feelings. + Homophobia? Is that still in style? Be better. |

| Vision Of Disorder – Living To Die Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
It is OBVIOUSLY drugs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What's the chance of no tomorrow. When you're living to die." Addicts don't care about the possibility that he may not wake up tomorrow due to overdosing. It's a hopeless venture when under the influence. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I've been walking a fine line. I've been turning to stone." "fine line" is referring to how close he gets to dying every time he uses. "turning to stone" maybe refer to turning to drugs, "stone" as in being a "stoner"? Maybe it even refers to how he becomes a lifeless statue when under the influence? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A bitter happiness before you hit the ground. It's just a matter of time before you lose your mind." The high of drugs bringing a bittersweet joy to a broken mind? As the addiction progresses, you only become more crazy? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Your nervousness eats you up inside. Now you know how it feels to be alive." Nervousness/Anxiety/Paranoia are very common symptoms of drugs. "How it feels to be alive" maybe be referring to how he feels as if the only time he is alive is during drugs. The entire meaning of the title might actually be "taking drugs (feeling alive) only to die right after" instead of some sort of cynical view on how life with this addiction is impossible, and your life is on some sort of clock that won't last forever. I personally would like to think that this song is anti-drugs and recommends against them instead of just giving up and claiming that once drug addiction-hits, death is only a matter of time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Revolution is your question Couch burning mother-fucker" Revolution.. against drugs? Couch-burning is a common sports thing where winners burn couches in celebration. Maybe the singer is jealous of people who managed to over-come their addiction? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The scene of death is the decay of time." (This line is actually, from what I hear in the song: "the scent of death is the (decaying/decay in) time.") Decay in time, as in, as time progresses, options become more complicated and less valuable. Scent of death, as in, a substance-abuser who KNOWS and can feel the harmful affects, yet ignores them. As they ignore these issues, their time to make a decision and change their life decays away. If the lyric is actually "scene of death", then it may refer to a substance-abuser seeing relatable characters die, and ignoring the obvious risks of their addiction. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Shortness of breath bring on the flatline." I'm not entirely sure, but with my interpretation of this song, I think that the song-writer is urging addicts to either fix their problem, or just give up. If you feel the shortness of breath from drugs, just bring on the flatline, and get it over. I think that this song is actually encouraging the addict to quit, but I'm not entirely sure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It could be a long shot, but with the weird "plot-holes" in the lyrics that I sense.. this song may be from the perspective OF the drugs? Like.. weed telling you that this is stupid, and that you should either revolt against your addiction (which it seemed unhappy with, calling the listening a "motherfucker") or just give up. I would say that it's a person telling them this, but why would the person go on about being a bad, hated person at the beginning if they're the type of person to advise addicts? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TL;DR - My personal interpretation is that this song is from the perspective of a drug (odd, I know) mocking the substance-abuser by telling them that them should either revolt and burn some couches in victory, or give up and let the flat-line take them, since "living" life as an addict is just feeling dead and empty without drugs, or living so high that they're close to death every time you use them. Addicts die an addict, or their addiction dies. I dunno, it's along-shot, but I personally would like to imagine it as a song full of advice instead of just "addicts should just give up". (I know that I wrote a lot of these examples talking about the addict himself, but I think it's just the drugs mocking him by talking in first person as if he were the abuser, whom the substance views as stupid.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
