Lights – Second Go Lyrics 15 years ago
ummm... conquer a ladder slip on a snake isn't inherently a religious reference... i get you're referencing the serpent in the garden of eden, but theres a childrens game called snakes and ladders, where if you land on a ladder, you advance farther, faster, and if you land on a snake, you go back instead.

and i'm curious what coffins and crowns have to do w/ religion. it's not something i recognize.

Dethklok – Dethklok Deththeme Lyrics 19 years ago
You people take this too seriously. Ultimately, it's a theme song for a cartoon... Not the Rosetta stone... When you figure out every word to it, then what... NOTHING!

Try this... brendon@brendonsmall.com
Brendan's email address, ask him yourself, I just did, It took me all of 3 seconds to find it... and you guys have been arguing since october...
Or another 10 seconds of searching gave me this
http://www.brendonsmall.com/MUSIC/deathclock_theme.mp3
I think its the demo heartbeats mentioned...
Its a lot clearer than the theme song. and now anyone can understand it...
Happy?
Good...

Gorillaz – 19-2000 Lyrics 19 years ago
Since there still seems to be some debate about "Cool Shoeshine/Cruel Shoeshine"

I got their book for christmas, and in it, they say it's "Get the cool shoeshine"

all i have to say...

And if you look for any deep meaning in gorillaz songs, you're an idiot... most, if not all, don't mean a thing.
It's like looking at toast for the virgin mary, you may eventually get SOMETHING, but chances are, you're just mentally unstable... :)

Gorillaz – 5/4 Lyrics 19 years ago
Excerpt from their book "Rise of the Ogre"

"The second track becomes a spiky showdown; like Godzilla versus the hulking King Kong, Noodle and 2D battle it out for centre stage, with the vocals singing of magic, silent heartbeats, cities and suicide.

Murdoc: Oh yeah... You can hear it all falling into place now. 'She turned my dad ooonnn!!!!'

Noodle: Murdoc always maintains that I am playing my guitar out of time, but he's mistaken. It's in 5/4 timing; which explains the title.

Murdoc: It's out of time, love. Listen to it. It's only saved by some excellent, one fingered, new wave keyboards from 2D. He's just superb when he's like that. Just reminds you why he's in the band. Also, right, I needed to get a proper dirty fuzz coming off the bass for this track, so I kicked a big hole in the speaker cabinet and just let the torn flappy speaker cone buzz away. I got the sound I wanted pretty well straight away.

2D: The timing throws me a bit on this. It's like its patting your head and rubbing your tummy at the same time. Bit difficult.

Murdoc: Why don't you just sing the song instead? Div."

So, there it is, the story from the characters about the song and whatnot, if you want to know the true reason why the song was written, good luck.

Pixies – Where Is My Mind? Lyrics 19 years ago
As I was watching Veronica Mars, I realized this song was in the episode Drivers Ed... When I heard it, I immediately recognised it as "that song from fight club"
I hunted down the song and figured out what it was

Now its stuck in my head...
Such a good song...

Lacuna Coil – Swamped Lyrics 19 years ago
Who cares about meeting them? They're just people... I've met several musicians, and theyve all been down to earth people...
And besides, Amy lee is a no talent skank :D
effervesence or whatever isnt even listen-able...
meanwhile, i turn on lacuna and i get shivers down my spine... This song has some of the most amazing vocals, both male and female... the energy they place into their songs is insane...

Gorillaz – White Light Lyrics 19 years ago
"f anyone knows ANYTHING about alcohol, the proof is how much alcohol is in said volume, well 100% means...ITS ALL ALCOHOL."

obviously you DONT know anything about alcohol...

100 proof means its 50% alcohol...
200 proof means its 100% alcohol...

Gorillaz – O Green World Lyrics 20 years ago
i think this is another war related song...

O green world,
Don't desert me now
Bring me back to fallen town
Where someone is still alive

he's died fighting, and hes wishing he could come back and be with those still living

Fighting for something new in this
When no one needs the heart of me and I'll
Get out somewhere other than me before...

he's been fighting for something that wasnt needed, and he gave his life for it (getting out somewhere other than the way he came in, like a coffin, or something relating to the fact he's died

O green world
Don't deserve me now
I'm made of you and you of me
But where are we?
Oh no

hes dead, and decomposing, and is now part of the earth. but he feels guilty over the lives he's taken, and feels like he doesnt deserve to return to the earth

Sells to lie
Phone with talk, you stars
Suppose you
Down when you're in fast
Cause it seems so little to you

we have so much, but think so little of it, and try to push it on others

But now you're in love, you know
You know, me too
You know, me too
I hope sex and drugs rust into my self, holy

he's hoping that people are free to do what they want, when years from now, theyre on the land comprised partially of his decayed body (complete guess... im not sure on this one really...)

It feels holy
It feels like you're with your father in the place you love.

and now he's in heaven?

Gorillaz – Every Planet We Reach Is Dead Lyrics 20 years ago
it is NOT that only god knows his feelings, the sentance spans 2 lines!

But God only knows it's getting harder to see the sun coming through

that is something i wanted to point out...

Every planet we reach is dead.
what i think that means is that the couple is willing to go as far as possible to make it work. OR that its a 1 sided relationship in which the singer is willing to do anything to keep the girl, but she keeps demanding more. I think they're ALREADY together...

"But God only knows it's getting harder to see the sun coming through"
I think that means that the hope for the relationship is getting dimmer... and it can mean another thing, as well. if they're willing to go to the stars for each other, and as theyre moving further and further from "earth," the starting point, the sun would be getting dimmer and dimmer (if say they were going all futuristic light years away)
i dont know about that 2nd part, but it kinda makes sense...

"All the sick and selfless days" i think has to do with the singer giving up everything he can, being selfless to the point that it's unhealthy.

those are my thoughts on direct quotes from the song... but my gut tells me its about loving, and not being loved back, and no matter how hard you try, it wont change it. and as you change your life more and more for the person you love, you realize that it wont change anything and the relationship is dead.

System of a Down – B.Y.O.B. Lyrics 20 years ago
As far as "Presidents fighting their own wars"
i think the fact that dubbya went AWOL while serving in the air force, or whatever it was that happened, after his father had to pull strings to get him in there above more qualified applicants says a lot...
we need to focus more on helping improve the quality of life for the lower and middle class, not provide tax breaks to the rich... Warren Buffet, head of Berkshire Hathaway, one of the most influential businessmen in the US agrees with that...
The trickle down theory is bullshit... plain and simple...

it's a good song, too
