Billy Talent – River Below Lyrics	21 years ago
at the concert, Ian said "this is a song about wanting to kill a lot of people, so you can be famous." Basically, a look into the mind of a psychopath.

Skunk Anansie – Weak Lyrics	21 years ago
I always thought this was an open letter to a christian-type god (an ideal). Sort of being disappointed at the sickness and evils of the world. Even if I'm totally wrong, you have admit the song is about that sort of level of frustration.

At the Drive-In – One Armed Scissor Lyrics	21 years ago
thank you, DarkApathy, for proving, once again, that arguing online is kind of like the special olympics, even if you win, you're still a fucking retard.

AFI – Dancing Through Sunday Lyrics	21 years ago
Ok. This song is about moshpits. Get it? Real, ahem, deep and stuff. The word mosh is an acronym for March Of the Skin Heads.

AFI – The Leaving Song Pt. 2 Lyrics	21 years ago
I'm not going to pretend to know what brought about this song. It's one of my favs, and is actually the song that got me listening to AFI (just like One Armed Scissor got me listening to At The Drive-In.) I think this song in part reflects the story of Orestes (I also think the scream at the end is Orestes spelled backwards.) Anyways, that's my wacky theory, and I'm sticking to it.

AFI – Silver And Cold Lyrics	21 years ago
Ok. I think the song is about heroin addiction. Silver and cold (like a needle), your sins into me ... (taking in a shot). People always go off on these weird tangents, when there's usually a simpler explaination. Sorry to have to burst some pretty big bubbles.

At the Drive-In – One Armed Scissor Lyrics

OK. following Shifting Citadel's interpretation, I always thought of this song as a heroin user warning people of what heroin addiction is like (and how it effects the body and the mind). Also, I had a video of them playing this song at the Grog Shop, where Cedric introduced it as "This is a song about a heroin addict." I'm not going to try to go into a line by line deconstruction, although I could shoot a bunch of guesses as to what lyrics mean what. Listen to Sparta's "Cut Your Ribbon" and then take another look at this song.

At the Drive-In – Transatlantic Foe Lyrics

22 years ago

I always thought that this song was about the escalation of the cold war, and the propaganda, rationalizations and justifications surrounding it. Sort of about how the US among others has developed / stockpiled atomic, hydrogen, chemical weapons enough to destroy the world dozens of times over. That trying to stuff these weapons back into pandora's box and put a lid on it is "Like breathing blood through the lungs of a czar's child" (reference to the assasination of the Romanovs, machine gunned to death during the Bolshekvic revolution that led to the Soviet Union, so trying to ressusitate someone whose been shot)
