| Our Lady Peace – Angels/Losing/Sleep Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I think the song is Raine remarking to a friend who he feels has been brainwashed or a person who cannot think for himself. Raine isn't much a fan of organized religion, so maybe it is the story of a person who followed something so "religiously" and that person is finding out they were wrong all along (looks like the Holy Ghost is gone), and Raine is waiting with an "I told you so" type of deal. |

| Our Lady Peace – One Man Army Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
"this song is about an army where evryone has been killed but one man and he has to try to beat the entire other army...and fast " Haha, what song are you listening to? One Man Army is the epitome of a personal anthem. Despite the redundancy of the "individualism" topic that one poster above me mentioned, I do think it is clearly what the song is about. Maida remembers when he was just another face in the crowd, and the entire song is about him stepping out of that crowd and walking proudly in front of it. The message is that the "One Man Army" (the person who doesn't follow the crowd) is walking in front of everybody else instead of tripping up and falling behind it, which Raine admits to doing in the past. His advice is to a person he knows whom he sees experiencing the same struggles. He encourages that person to pour out their soul, their feelings with the "gasoline tin" metaphor, which kind of works in this song in two ways. With a gasoline tin, you don't want the tin itself, but rather the contents inside of it. Raine wants the subject of the song to be like the gasoline tin, to want people to be eager to pour that person out to see inside of them. In addition, the gasoline tin functions as a "burning" metaphor, which you can pick up from the "bare feet" line. Take that gasoline, walk proudly to the "house of the conformists", and burn it down, then quietly walk away. |

| Linkin Park – One Step Closer Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
"I find bliss in ignorance" This line not only sums up this song, but LP as well. They most certainly find bliss in the ignorance of 10 million people buying this rehashed garbage (and even more preposterous, the remix album! An outrage to any good artist who barely makes money off of original songs) Not only is there better stuff if you look hard, some of the stuff on mainstream radio is much better than this. |

| Linkin Park – Somewhere I Belong Lyrics | 22 years ago |

It's kinda hard to talk about Linkin Park "song meanings" when they don't have any :p. Catchy song? Yeah. Good song? Not quite. Whoever has really deep meanings for this song (or any LP song), here's words of advice: Write your own song about your deep meaning and gain yourself a following of real music fans. Because I can guarantee you that this song or any other Linkin Park song does not have a deep meaning, if it has any sort of meaning at all. Mindless dribble. |

| XMod's right, Raine describes it exactly that way before they played the song live (the only version, it was never released) | |

I hate to tell ya Docta Funk, but you're wrong. Mike Turner, the original guitarist, is from England. Raine Maida was a senior at U of Toronto when he saw Mike's ad for a vocalist. Although current bassist Duncan Coutts was originally slated to be the bassist (he was Raine's friend), unlike Raine, he decided to finish school, so Chris Eacrett was the bassist on "Naveed". Jim Newell was the original drummer. OLP needed to wait until current drummer Jeremy Taggart finished HIGH SCHOOL, he was only 17, to record "Naveed". Chris left after "Naveed", Duncan stepped in, and no changes were made until Mike left in December of 2001, replaced by Steve Mazur. And they got their name from a poem. |
