| The Smashing Pumpkins – Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| I think the idea is that they are comparing the quality and revolutionary ideas behind the music, rather than the music itself.. that said, there are a lot of similarities in some of the more mellow songs on the entire Mellon Collie CD, particularly in this song. But yeah, probably not the best comparison for critics to use... then again, how could you compare Sigur Ros to anyone? | |
| Mclusky – To Hell With Good Intentions Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
I have no idea where you got the bit about ecstasy from... I don't think that McLusky tend to have references which are quite as vague as you're suggesting, preferring the completely random gibberish style of music (which is much more entertaining :D) As with most of the rest of their music, the lyrics take on a childish nature, and in this case I think it's fairly obvious that as Colly said, they're making fun of all the "I'm better than you because my things are better" conversations children have... and then (at least, this is what I'm hearing), they're taking it a little further with the line "And We're all Going Straight to Hell" mocking the tendencies of the Christian faith in that they are talking about their god being the greatest god and everyone else is going to hell, in a much similar fashion to children. I guess what they're trying to say is that Christians are just big children (although more subtly). However, that's just my opinion, and I only formed that opinion during the time it took to write this comment LOL. |

| Nirvana – Pennyroyal Tea Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| Although I'm not too sure whether or not Kurt would have known this when he wrote the song, if at all, a substance known as Ekkyklema made from Pennyroyal (probably Pennyroyal Tea) was consumed by the Initiates of the Elusinian Mysteries cult of Ancient Greece. It was supposedly used as a means of cleansing the soul in preparation to join the group, reinforcing the image of the person in the story feeling impure or evil, most likely in relation to an unexpected pregnancy. | |
