| Rancid – Disorder And Disarray Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| This song is about 'selling out'. Basically, Rancid saw first hand some of the record companies' games, and they knew the price. 2 sides coming in quick is reference to the two sides of the argument, 1 is sell out, the other is doing the same thing but getting more cash for it. Obviously, on an aside, Rancid was going to Epic records, the same record company as the clash, probably because it would hold a little more 'punk' credability. The 2nd verse is about how either way, he got famouse, and he wants to duck out. | |
| Ash – Burn Baby Burn Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
This song is actually about a relationship where they have pre-maritial relations (otherwize known as sex). Burn Baby Burn, referring to the old catholic view of hell, and since pre-maritial relations are considered sinful, the meaning is cleared. "Look into my tired eyes, see someone you don't recognized" means that sex has changed everything in this relationship, making it tiring, and changing him forever. "This is slow suicide" means this will just degrade slowly and slowly forever and ever. The first few lines are describing his desperatness, and the girl. "We Have Never been satisfied" Means that this relationship already hasn't given them anything they were expecting. "Tumbling like the leaves" well, is self explanitory (after reading the above). "Feelings that I can't disguise and never will be reconciled Oh something inside has died" means that it's loveless, and what he's done he can't hide, nor will he ever feel better about it, and that something inside is that innocents virginity has in it. "You walk like you're in a daze unresponcive eyes in a distant gaze like all the good times we've thrown away and the memory leaves a bitter taste" This states that that they threw away everything for the instant gratification, and the fact he's done this just gets sickening, and the distant daze line means about the worrying that she may have ruined her life by this action. "Almost to the point of no return" means they almost got married (sex is generally something you do when you are married), a point of no return, but they never thought about or got hitched. |
