| Jack Johnson – Sexy Plexi Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
Ok, this is what I got from this.... I think that this is a song written by Jack after he had the shocking surfing accident that led to the establishment of his music career! He first starts talking about his "sexi" surfboard, made from plexi-glass, "...bend don't shatter, once your broken shape won't matter" i.e. once the board is broken it don't matter anyways. The chorus is about him sitting aroung killing time 'till he can surf again, and how it's doing his head in! The fact that he was going to be such an accomplished surfer, but now his dreams have been shattered "...everyone you wanted to know, and everyone you wanted to see have all gone away" Either ways, Jack Johnson rules! He the man! |

| Pennywise – Did You Really? Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
Ok, this is obviously a song directed to Pennywise's previous bassist, Jason Matthew Thirsk, much like the whole of the Full Circle album. The whole "did you really wanna die?" is based around the circumstances of Jason's death, ie. whether or not he was shot in the chest, or shot himself ("a shot heard in the night, an unheard cry, a fatal fight?") I think Jim is trying to ask Jason the questions that perhaps he wished he maybe could've, in order to just rest over it all ("tell me I'm forgiven...one thing I've regretted is taht I'll never really know"), and that he would've have helped him, had he known ("I'd help you give it one more try..."). In the end he concludes that Jason didn't kill himself, based on the inspiring lyrics of previous songs on previous albums written by Jason. RIP Jason M. Thirsk. |

| Saves the Day – Rocks Tonic Juice Magic Lyrics | 23 years ago |

Yup! "You and I are like when fire and the ocean floor collide" I think that means that when they are together they're is so much passion, but it just fizzles away into steam in the end. |

| Pearl Jam – Given to Fly Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
Ok, this is where I'm going to go with this.... I agree with everyone that its about a kid whose life is fucked, who could have saved himself ("tuned in") but chose not to ("tuned out"). Sadly, he's gone to a clifftop by the ocean ("The wind rose up...The waves came crashing...etc.), smoked a jay, working up enough courage to give himself wings....and jumps. He's given to fly. He wanted a "key to the locks" a way out. But first he is stripped and "stabbed by faceless men". I see this as an autopsy, the faceless men being the surgeons. He may be dead, but his memory still stands. And the love that no one would give him when he was alive now appears through the sadness of his loss. Now a star in the sky... ("...a strange spot in the sky. A human being who was given to fly). That's how I see it, anyways. |
