| Deftones – Change (In the House of Flies) Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| personally, and i'll like to make it clear this is just my opinion, but i'd like to think the correct interpretation of this song is THE ONE STATED BY THE GUY WHO WROTE IT, AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE. however, every song is open to personal meanings (such is the way of art), and when i listen to this song i think of someone changing and becoming everything they used to hate, and the guy singing is sitting back and watching it and hating it, so he destroys her cruelly. it's a vicious song about someone transforming into something the other person hates, and then that person lashing out at them. then laughing. | |
| Placebo – Pure Morning Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| i love this song. Schr4nz is right, the best songs are ones that can't be dissected. this song reminds me of a female friend of mine who i'm really close to, and we've never been anything more than friends, but there's always a chemistry there, which is cool. this whole album is great. | |

yeah maybe vicious couldn't play bass, but i don't think punk was even about the music. it was a movement. in my head it started with johnny rotten, and he was a punk before the pistols even formed. he was pissed off by all the kids with long hair and flares walking round while the country was falling apart, so he turned himself into the most shocking and abrasive thing he could. it's anti-culture. anyone can dress in plain clothes and do what they want and be an individual, but i think punk was about more than that. it was about more than being an individual, it was about tearing down the system that tried to stop you from being an individual. people like sid because he's iconic. whereas rotten went on and did other things, and yes, sold out, and reformed the pistols, and became part of what he'd once hated, and yet denied it, sid stayed nihilistic to the end, and it killed him. punk was a movement born out of hopelessness, "no future". maybe sid didn't have the talent or the brains of rotten, but he was definitely more punk. ps. good charlotte, and bands like them, piss me off, because they've raped the spirit of punk to give their pop tunes an edge, to fool the youth into thinking their something different. they're not. they're a boyband with guitars. but that's the way the world works. anything dangerous, like punk, is absorbed and spat back out by the system and it's fashion idustries as the next big thing, and what was once a proud if battered fuck you chant becomes a song about the girl all the bad guys want. fuck pop "punk" REFUSE MUSIC |

| Rancid – Sidekick Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| i think this song is about when tim lived illegally in an abandoned building, just squatting. this was before rancid was filmed. then the police kicked him and all the other punks out, but all they wanted was a roof over their heads. i think this song's about how he'd like to be a super hero and kick in all the cops, save the day and give the punks their building back. | |

AN-AR-CHY /ánnerkee/ n. LACK OF GOVERNMENT the absence of any formal system of government in a society. CAP-I-TAL-ISM /káppit'l izzem/ n. an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and distribution of goods. to simplify these definitions for the moronic out there: capitalism means business is privately owned. if you were anti-capitalist, you would support government owned business. because there is no alternative. if you're an anarchist, you're against any form of government. just to clarify this: GOV-ERN-MENT /gúvvernment/ n. POLITICAL AUTHORITY a group of people who have the power to make and enforce laws for a country or area. thus, it's impossible for anyone to be both anti-capitalist and an anarchist. BeyondMyHorizons - you're confusing capitalism and corporate globalisation. and yeah you're right about the black flags, i made an assumption based on the fact that fascists wear black shirts to show their political allegiance. as for anarchy not working, it's never been tried. people don't need a government to live, so i'd say it would work. but only by breaking down all concepts of countries and borders. i don't know if you were trying to insult me by claiming you have never met a (serious) anarchist who wasn't anti-capitalist, or just stating a misinformed opinion you'd stupidly taken for fact, but i don't remember claiming to be an anarchist at any point. marx said the world would progress to communism, but it doesn't mean he was right. he also said it would only work if it was adopted worldwide - which he believed it would be. one state doesn't have the necessary means to produce everything it needs without trading with other states. maybe the domino effect that occurred prior to the coldwar would have carried on and communism would have spread, if not for american intervention. however, i doubt it, because if a country is prospering under capitalism it has no incentive to adopt communism. and anyway, communism relies on the "fact" that all men are equal. all men are not equal. we're not all the same. we all have different strengths, and it seems unfair, to me, for one man to be paid the same as another if he is able to work much harder. |

extract from nineteen eighty-four: "Falsification Of Past The Party could thrust its hand into the past and say of this or that event, it never happened. The Party said that Oceania had never been in alliance with Eurasia. He, Winston Smith, knew that Oceania had been in alliance with Eurasia as short a time as four years ago. But where did that knowlede exist? Only in his own consciousness, which in any case must soon be annihilated. And if all others accepted the lie whith the Party imposed -- if all records told the same tale -- then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past,' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.' The largest section of the RECORDS DEPARTMENT, far larger than the one on which Winston worked, consisted simply of persons whose duty it was to track down and collect all copies of books, newspapers, and other documents which had been superseded and were due for destruction. The hunting-down and destruction of books had been done with thoroughness and it was very unlikely that there existed anywhere in Oceania a copy of a book printed earlier than 1960. Books were recalled and rewritten again and again, and were invariably re issued without any admission that any alteration had been made. Even the written instructions never stated or implied that an act of forgery was to be committed: always reference was to slips, errors, misprints, or misquotations which it was necessary to put right in the interests of accuracy. But actually it was not even forgery. It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of the time you were expected to make them up out of your head. Sometimes he talked to Julia of the RECORDS DEPARTMENT and the impudent forgeries that he committed there. Such things did not appear to horrify her. She did not feel the abyss opening beneath her feet at the thought of lies becoming truths. He said, "Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished? If it survives anywhere, it's in a few solid objects with no words attached to them, like that lump of glass there. Already we know almost literally nothing about the Revolution and the years before the Revolution. Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except in an endless present in which the Party is always right. I know, of course, that the past is falsified, but it would never be possible for me to prove it, even when I did the falsification myself. After the thing is done, no evidence ever remains. The only evidence is inside my own mind, and I don't know with any cerainty that any other human being shares my memories. If, for example, Eurasia or Eastasia (whichever it may be) is the enemy to-day, then that country must always have been the enemy. And if the facts say otherwise then the facts must be altered. Thus history is continually rewritten. The day-to-day falsification of the past, carried out by the Ministry of Truth, is as necessary to the stability of the regime as the work of repression and espionage carried out by the Ministry of Love. The mutability of the past is the central tenet of Ingsoc. Past events, it is argued have no objective existence, but survive only in written records and human memories. The past is whatever the records and the memories agree upon. And since the Party is in full control of all records and in equally full control of the minds of its members, it follows that the past is whatever the Party chooses to make it." " |

| Propagandhi – Ska Sucks Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| i love this song, it's what got me into propagandhi, and from there into punk in general. but i find it kinda disheartening that out of all their political and thought provoking stuff, it's this song that has the most comments. although having said that, maybe i'm a hypocrite. | |

breaking the song down: and I'm a black rainbow - he's a dark parody of what's usually considered beautiful. also, according to the bible (i think) the first rainbow was black, to signal the approach of the flood that washed away all the shit of the world. manson is a sign to the world that things are going to change. and I'm an ape of god - he's one of god's creature's something created by god and ultimately no better than anyone else. created equal. a rebel from the waist down - this is a quote from nineteen eighty four by george orwell, where it was applied to julia because she preferred to take rebellion as isolated acts of disobedience (she was having sex, which was forbidden by big brother, hence "from the waist down"). while she would do what she wanted regardless of what she was told, she had no concept, or did not care about any overthrowing of the system. i think manson is trying to say that he isn't trying to change the world, just doing what he wants, and being attacked for it. I wanna thank you mom I wanna thank you dad for bringing this fucking world to a bitter end - it's the people who came before us that fucked up this world, then people like manson, the artists, who are reflecting the shit they see around them, are used as scapegoats - people society can point the finger at for things like columbine, whilst ignoring their own responsibility. I never really hated a one true god but the god of the people I hated - manson never hated the idea of one god, just the twisted effigy protrayed by the people who fucked up this world, and who use this image to control and oppress people. you said you wanted evolution the ape was a great big hit you say you want a revolution, man and I say that you're full of shit - i think this is attacking people who sit at home and mouth off about how the world should be, and never do a thing about it. people will never change the world whilst they're content to sit at home in front of their tvs, with a roof over their heads and a warm fire. in this way people have come to accept injustice as the price of comfort. here, still, god is being used to tell people it's not their responsibility to look after the world (which is in direct contradiction to the bible). here religion and the media are serving one and the same purpose. in this way it could be said these people are rebels from the neck up, capable of verbally criticising the injustices of the world, but unwilling or incapable of doing anything about them. this is the anti-thesis of manson, the "rebel from the waist down". we're disposable teens - we're the people who have to live with the crap that's been fed to us. we're disposable. we're worthless. we have no future, and we can't change a thing. the more that you fear us the bigger we get and don't be surprised, don't be surprised don't be surprised when we destroy all of it - eventually, when we can't feel any more useless or futile, when we become the oppressed mass that we're evolving into, and we're feared by the people who let this happen the power will be in our hands, and we will tear it all down. we are the flood prophecised by manson's rainbow. |

piero10: 1 - amen aren't metal, they're punk. 2 - ladyboygrrl is right. 3 - your favourite band, according to your profile, is linkin park. as linkin park's lyrics are rediculously pubescence and introverted, how can you comment on the validity of an intelligent band like amen? 4 - i hate you |

fan_of_AnTi-FLaG: if you're referring to me, i never said rage weren't anarchists, or anti-capitalists. i never made any statements about their political beliefs, i merely said it was impossible to be both anti-capitalist and anarchist. as for the red flags, i think the bulls on parade video was comparing communist states to fascists (the black flags) and calling them all just "bulls on parade". while we're on the subject, marx himself said communism would only work if the world adopted it. hence the continued failing of communism. the communists are overlooking half of what marx himself said. diggledog: you can't have an anarchist socialist state because anarchy is the absence of government. despite what anyone else tells you. it's simply a state where there is no government. not chaos, not something where people can do what they want, not even a utopia. just a TOTAL absence of government. i'll let that sink in. socialism relies on a strong central GOVERNMENT to equally distribute wealth. also, how can a group of people claim to be a state, with no government? such a place would no longer be a country, or a state, merely a group of people living in a certain place. i'd like to point out now, for anyone who reads this, i've not mentioned rage's political beliefs anywhere here, so don't post messages saying i'm "wrong when i say rage aren't anarchists" or whatever. i mean i can't stop you, but if you do you'd just look stupid... if you're interested in you could check out www.anti-manifesto.2ya.com for more in this vein of thought. also, MKPunk is me, although this account is MKPunk42. MKPunk no longer works. thank you, and good day. |
