| Tricky – Black Steel Lyrics | 2 months ago |
| This is why I love Tricky and Martina Topley-Bird, they're the only duo that could pull off a cover of Public Enemy in such a creative way. It's clear this song is a protest against a government that demands loyalty while offering none. It calls out racism, militarism, mass incarceration, and the false promises of equality. It champions resistance... not just to war, but to a system that criminalizes Black existence. It's a wakeup call to question authority, and to refuse compliance in systems of oppression. | |
| Bauhaus – The Sanity Assassin Lyrics | 2 months ago |
|
I believe "Sanity Assassin" is about a malevolent figure who preys on vulnerable individuals. The character of the "madcap pusher delirium" is presented as a manipulative and sinister figure who lures his victims into a state of confusion and chaos. He has a cunning and insidious presence, capable of infiltrating the minds and dreams of those he targets. The repeated lyric of him dropping a capsule (spiking) in drinks with madness conveys a sense of power and control. Also, "Sniper in the hills" and "poison in your poison" gives the idea of him being a deadly and unseen threat. I feel like this song speaks of paranoia and vulnerability too, suggesting that the "sanity assassin" is always one step ahead and can easily manipulate and exploit his victims. He preys on their weaknesses and insecurities. The usage of "he's walking in your sleep now" gives you a sense of dread and unease, hinting at the idea that his influence extends even into the subconscious. |

| Billy Idol – White Wedding Lyrics | 2 months ago |
|
I'm laughing too hard at the comment section, but I do agree with some. It does paint Billy to be a bit weird especially knowing it's about his sister or at least inspired by his sister's relationship. Anyways, I believe this track is about yearning, disillusionment, loss of love, and personal growth. "Little sister" can be a term for a former partner too, but I feel like "little sister" could just possibly symbolize innocence regardless of who it's towards. Also, the repeated question "Hey little sister, what have you done?" may be a sense of betrayal or disappointment. I feel like there's some fragile masculinity at play and power dynamics too, with lines like "who's your superman" "who's the one you want"(jealousy) and "Hey little sister, shotgun!". Shotgun weddings consist of pressure to conform to societal expectations. It could symbolize both loss of purity and new beginnings, but I don't think Billy is so happy about that. In the end, Billy views the world as it is, harshly accepting it and leaving him to tell himself "It's a nice day to start again" for his own rebirth/redemption. |

| Snake River Conspiracy – Casualty Lyrics | 2 months ago |
| I would update the lyrics in the comment section, but it looks weird. Great vocals from Tobey, please check out the duo Mojave Phone Booth if you haven't already. My interpretation of this track is it's a reflection on a past relationship that has left them feeling like a casualty. They seem to be lamenting their loss and the power that the other person holds over them. The repetition of the phrase "casualty of you" emphasizes the idea that the person feels like a victim by the other person's actions, but then the phrase "you turn me on" hints at a physical attraction or connection that they still feel towards the other person, despite the hurt they have experienced. It's both conflicting feelings of desire and pain. | |

| Dean Blunt – 100 Lyrics | 2 months ago |
|
Dean Blunt and Joanne Robertson created a masterpiece track. I believe they're singing about being pulled between desire (“dying to meet you”) and the pressure of outside judgment (“everybody says I’m wrong”). The repetition may be of both yearning and social friction. Their desire persists despite being called wrong by many and perhaps knowing that it'll fail / become emotionally exhausting ("but the bullshit got too long"). |

| Desire – If I Can't Hold You Lyrics | 2 months ago |
| Desire is pretty straightforward in this song; it's about being stuck in emotions with unresolved grief/questioning by longing about a relationship that is no longer. Despite everything she's been through, she keeps returning to this memory. She understands that, even though it hurts, she must put it to rest. | |

"I gave my life away" man, that end chorus still gives me chills. Fuck Anthony Kiedis though. | |
| Desire – Miroir Miroir Lyrics | 3 months ago |
|
My interpretation of "Miroir Miroir" (the French version of Snow White's line) is a cry for worth and validation in a world that appreciates facades. The repeated chant of “It’s us” is a daring claim, where everyone is attempting to convince themselves constantly, almost like a masquerade. “I work so hard and for what?” screams desperation and exhaustion under an endless chase of perfection and acceptance from others. When Desire mentions tears, sweat, and blood, it’s a way of saying that real beauty isn’t just skin-deep; it’s also paid for with pain, effort, and sacrifice that no one often sees. But when she sings "Let's go out tonight," to me, it seems like she's saying despite the hurt and doubts, some still step into the night with that mask to still have fun; it's a way of defiance for them. Even with cuts and bruises, they still show up with greatness, even if it's for one night. |

@[uncanny:54391] @[Sum1UDestroyed:54392], Judging from how these two accounts were made on the same day and oddly enough are assisting one another on the same tracks I'm aware of-- I'm going to assume on a whim you're someone I know. Yes, a person that has parental issues where they were into the most heinous shit and lied throughout their livelihood to not only their best friends but to their partners -- they never held any accountability from this day but lingers online blaming, playing therapist, and reminiscing are very much traumatized. Anyways, I can't fathom on why people that are...what? In a relationship with each other for how many years having to then create accounts on not only a site like SongMeanings, but X, and other platforms leaving comments. Creating empty accounts pretending to be others and ghost tagging someone that's many miles away, rent free. And to the point they yearn attention so much they have to then comment on songs they very much were introduced to by this person. Weird how there's two accounts made on the same day only commenting on these tracks... very questionable if I think this is who I think it is. Gotta love that cycle of obsession, boredom, and attention. I'm not surprised. To anyone that just happens to look up Molly Nilsson I'm terribly sorry. |

| Felix Da Housecat – Silver Screen Lyrics | 5 months ago |
|
My interpretation of Silver Screen is pretty straightforward, it's how many chase the same highs: pleasure, drugs, money, fame -- over and over all for you to then indulge and become empty. Materialism and vanities stuck in a repeat: "Sweet seduction in a magazine Endless pleasure in a limousine In the back shakes a tambourine Nicotine from a silver screen" "In the music, say the word See the light, join the herd Love, it comes, love, it goes Diamond memories go with the flow" In this stanza, I believe Felix is manipulating us to join the lifestyle instead of leaving it. "See the light, join the herd" how I see it, "see the light" is to be taken as the light on the silver screen. To "join the herd" is being a follower, you succumb. The lines "Love, it comes, love, it goes" and "Diamond memories go with the flow" interprets that even love and diamond memories can disappear within seconds since you're too infatuated with the disillusion imagery in-front of you. You become emotionally empty, just to continue consuming. Even the most cherished moments fade under the tide of what you sit to see, that glamour lifestyle. The pleasure, money, drugs, and fame... because that's what is seen, the world IS dominated by spectacle and conformity. That's what I think Felix is telling us. Don't fall victim to that because if you do, you can't get out and it becomes a loop. I grew up listening to Felix Da Housecat, this, Fantasy Girl, and Simmerman was my introduction to a LOT of house music alongside Junior Jack, Alan Braxe, and DJ Falcon. I'm glad I still have my record of Kittenz and Thee Glitz. . |

| Miss Kittin and the Hacker – 1000 Dreams Lyrics | 5 months ago |
|
I personally think the meaning of this track is to search for your true meaning, because those "dreams" is of reaching your destiny because if you don't your life will become a psychological loop of no subconsciousness, no ambition, no anything. You need to take a leap of faith in yourself and wake-up to find your true meaning because if you don't it'll become "1000 Dreams": "A new day, a new dream Waking up but still sleeping All the time remembering Pictures of your 1000 dreams" "Again and again and again and again the same dream…” It could be that Miss Kittin & the Hacker are explaining how you can wake up in a new day and continuously daydream these same dreams just to only maintain them as such. They just become pictures, stilled memories of emotions/thoughts ingrained but in the next stanza: "Is it too exhausting To be in the wondering? Don't you know it will repeat Until you find the meaning?" They're stating isn't it so tiring to still have these thoughts? Don't you know your psyche will continue to repeat these "1000 Dreams"? Until you find the meaning of it. Instead of withholding, dazing, and not going for it... do the opposite and handle whatever it is! It's your destiny! "Another chance, take a break Face to face, big escape Rewind and sublime 1000 dreams to reach the one" Take another chance and relax, face it, and escape. If it rewinds and sublimes it's okay, keep going to reach THE ONE. Don't stop because if you do... 1000 Dreams. |
