| Propagandhi – Bent Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
i have been listening to propagandhi for a long time. i have looked up to their intense truth and justice through the lyrics. it's almost as if their wisdom is beyond this world. they see through so many fucked up things i never thought to even question. they got me into politics, and really changed my life. their lyrics got me into observing myself and purity as a human being. the only subject me don't meet eye to eye on is straightedge. and while i understand their very great points, and i strive to take them in and learn from them, but i think that their ideals on straightedge is strewed by what they know of it or it's based on the mass of the kids (which belive me suck, espically the christian influences on it within the last 7 years). i understand living for yourself and not being a slave to conformity, and i understand that a label and a code of rules goes against that, but if you look at the root of straightedge and take it not for its rules but its points on purity than not only do the pointless rules vanish but it becomes truly for yourself and your own personal thing. my ideals on straightedge are that, unlike the most comon belief, it's not for life. it's for how ever long you deem necessary. it= a strive to abstain from actions or substances that you would perfer not to. it all depends on what you want to strive for (not from). medicine, tobacco, crack, sex, jerkin off, soda, cars, jesus, et fuckin cetera. i'm just saying edge, even though not used this way by many, can be used to help and not follow some tight code of rules. |

| Propagandhi – Back To The Motor League Lyrics | 23 years ago |

I think this song is about how most scenes are filled with kids who represent false ideals or just don't live up to what they speak, and how much negative implusles are lived out when their are better things to do than just burn out. in the beginning of the song jord is talking in first person point of view as a rock and roll kid feeding off impluse, just impluse. like, "I like to party fucking hard. I like my rock and roll the same. Don't give a fuck if I burn out. Don't give a fuck if I fade away." I think it's showing how stupid that shit is, to just... not care about anything and burn yourself out on stupid shit. they also go into how a lot of kids say they are this and they are that, but not only never live up to it but that it wasn't them in the first place. "play-acting 'anarchists' and Mommy's-little-skinheads, death-threats and sycophants and wieners drunk on straight-edge. Fuck off. Who cares? I'd rather hi-lite Trip-Tiks than listen to your bullshit. Fuck off." i think the main message is to be yourself and don't be a slave to anything, espically stupid ego bullshit. "But what have we here? 15 years later it still reeks of ‘Swill and Chickenshit Conformists with their fists in the air" |
