Fugazi – Do You Like Me Lyrics 21 years ago
I think that's a really cool idea, about them being taught about lockhead martins monopoly in the lesson.
But from the interviews I've read, he just put different ideas together in some lyrics... and that they aren't related.

Would be class if they were though, it would make a bit more sense.

Fugazi – Argument Lyrics 21 years ago
It's funny, I heard this song again a few days ago and the lyrics really struck me this time around... It was written before 9/11 and the Iraq war and all that but if it was written right now then it'd be doing a good job at depicting the events since 9/11.

Oceansize – Amputee Lyrics 21 years ago
It was about his then girlfriend who asked him, "if I lost a limb, would you still love me?". The song's a kind of reply to that. But in an interview Mike said that he's no longer with that woman so the last bit is a bit of an update to the whole thing...

"But it’s nothing to you (x2)
No it’s nothing to you
It’s something better than this "

Showing that all his feelings and how much she meant to him was nothing for her and she just went off and looked for 'someone better'/found 'somone better'.

Though he also says "There's gotta be something better than this" in the chorus which is a different bit really, so maybe I'm wrong. Oceansize rule though ! :D

Hell Is For Heroes – You Drove Me To It Lyrics 22 years ago
i think this song is all about being tempted to commit suicide or self harm...
"somebody better make me bleed
fill this vacancy underneath my skin"
i think this bit means that he doesnt want to do it to himself.
"i have grown the soul of an enemy "
i think this line basically means he is his own worst enemy and enemies usually fight each other so hes prolly been doing some self harm...
breathin' immortality
"i'm falling down one thousand feet "
jumping off a building kind of thing

i cant really be bothered to interpret the rest of the song but at least i had a crack at it!

p.s. i saw hell is for heroes support feeder at brixton academy... v. good!

Hell Is For Heroes – Five Kids Go Lyrics 22 years ago
this song is all about the band and their record label...
"empty high roads are calling, calling
my defences are slowly breaking down"
this part is about record labels sying... if you dont like what we are doing then piss off... 'take the long road and walk it' kind of thing but since not band many bands do quit record labels the 'highways are empty' ... the "calling" part is the band being tempted to leave the record label.
"fuck these headstrong scheming plans
let's go head for the shore
on my last legs i'll take a stand
and jump from the top of the world
if it's easier to burn
tie me up on a stake
fire is my only friend "
this part is referring to how the record label has ways of dealing with bands that are tempted to leave and play mindgames with them but the band sees through this... and wants to stand against it. But if they do they will practically be destroyed by the record labels and maybe give the band a bad reputation to other record labels.

"all we have left is self-control
all we have to do is pack up and go "
this bit is about the band having no freedom... the only thing they can really control is themselves but not the band in full... but they can go home and call it a quits if they get given no freedom as a band then they will leave the record label this is enforced with the part where it says
"all we need is space to roam "

then the last verse... the record label maybe said somthing like without us you'll crash and burn (making fire his only friend) and that they'll need the record labels help if they do leave the band.

i hope i dont offend their record label but thats what this song means to me. the song is definitely about the band as it is about 5 kids (the bands 5 members) going to america to record their album.

:p
