Radiohead – No Surprises Lyrics 21 years ago
Based on seeing the video, I think this song is about suffocating yourself to ignore the fact that we are all hopeless. We can't help ourselves because we are the silent majority, so by holding our breath each day and quietly going through our lives we won't be a hassle to the power structure that keeps us together, organized and manipulatable. Our reward for being humble and silent is no alarms or surprises from the minority that keeps us in control. Like csm said, don't get involved, don't revolt, be complacent and docile and it will all be better for everyone in the long run...but it's reverse psychology. You see?

Blindside – Where Eye Meets Eye Lyrics 21 years ago
Blindside is a great band, but the comment "real men DO love jesus" is garbage. That statement truly aggravates me, and after 10 odd years of catholic education, I can tell you that whether or not you "love" Jesus has nothing to do with your manhood. For Christ's sake.

Refused – Life Support Addiction Lyrics 21 years ago
This song fucking rocks. Refused had a real message to tell, rather than the bullshit we're contantly exposed to, be it through school or television or popular opinion.

I believe this song is about our inept instinct to follow the "norm", simple as that may sound. We are "silently sedated", numb to our own individuality; our emotions suffocate beneath the dominant mindsets of the ignorant power figures who surround, control and manipulate us in our thoughts and actions. We have no choice, an alternative to nothing, since when we raise our voices we are shunned and humiliated while smiling conformists glad-hand fellow weak-willed individuals. In the end, it is the comfort in the realization that we will all someday die that makes the day worth getting out of bed for. We are ruled by the instinct to prolong life (our "love"); although it is ludicrous and childish to follow the herd, it is necessary to do so in order to assuredly lengthen our influence and existence within our tradition-based society. Refused is saying that we are already dead, yet ironically it is life that pushes our dead existence forward. Hence, life support addiction.

Blindside – Nothing But Skin Lyrics 21 years ago
If we cannot find inner peace, a connection to God's presence in us, then we will venerate and become destruction. That's the basic message.
Also:
“Can’t even form my lips to say…Jesus. But I thank you for knowing where I’m supposed to land.” Thank you for the obstinate definition of heaven, and the path to achieve it. I can’t even fathom it in my current state – I’m pathetic, I’ve lost all vitality; this is the end.
“People say I should eat more, boy they should see me now. I’m almost vanishing, with skin so thin you can see right through. It makes you more visible in me, you rise as I bow. Fight for every breath, and breathe only you.” The presence of God within me makes my life worth living. Don’t marginalize your experiences, don’t worship boredom, don’t live like a self-admonishing statistic.
The conclusion is supposed to be that "I am nothing but skin - God is the humanity in our kind."

This is an epic way to end an excellent cd by a religious band, though I cannot agree with them.

Glassjaw – Tip Your Bartender Lyrics 23 years ago
Maybe this is just the obvious meaning and I'm not looking deep enough, cause the title of the song doesnt really support my idea of what it means, but here goes.

This song's about the brutality of war...The narrator is a soldier and he doesnt want to fight anymore (hence "Not throwing stones at you anymore. Your name your lies, and i don't wonder anymore."). He was trained with "sims that don't hit back" and now that he's seeing actual people die first hand he no longer wants to fight. Actually, now that he sees it, he wants to die himself (die like fucking mice do) showing how the soldier is just a pawn and useless like a mouse. At the end he just sees bloodshed and says "shoot me".

Ben Folds Five – For Those Of Ya'll Who Wear Fannie Packs Lyrics 23 years ago
This song was ALL IMPROVISED on the spot when it was recorded...Thats why he says "I hope we taped that" at the end...They didnt mix it or anything before releasing it on "Naked Baby Photos"...and even though its bizarre, its not intentionally making fun of rap because the lyrics are FREESTYLED

Thrice – Deadbolt Lyrics 23 years ago
I'm amazed that no one mentioned how fucking sweet the PIANO OUTRO on this song is... I listened and figured it out..
Another thing i've noticed about a lot of thrice songs (well off of IOS) is that they don't really have a repeating section, (like a chorus)...That's very evident in this song especially.

I agree with Nothingface and Hellionchild...This song's about a person cheating/sinning/disobeying in some way, hearing their consience argue with them, ignoring it, acting on an urge....and (in the end) regretting the choice they made

Slipknot – People = Shit Lyrics 23 years ago
You should all shut up. No one on here knows more than anyone else (including me) so all the people who leave generally lengthy posts thinking that they are the all-knowing should realize that they dont. The only one I like out of reading whatever 90 of these was the very first one, the comment about Joey. As for the rest of the fans or haters, who gives a fucking shit. Ugh.

Pearl Jam – Go Lyrics 23 years ago
I think this song is about how the guy singing was abused when younger and now that he's married he abuses his wife "just passing it on" but she becomes suicidal when she has had enough of his shit and hes pleading with her to not take her own life...A really really good song, one of my top 3 by pearl jam.

Slipknot – Wait And Bleed Lyrics 23 years ago
Good song by the way. I never knew the words were relevant and deep. Just sounded like noise.

Oh yea one more thing - Joey Jordison is a fucking sweet drummer, he's ridiculously good at double bass. Slipknot only really needs 4-5 guys (bass guitar drums and vocals), not 9. The 2 so-called "percussionists" and the "DJ section" detract from this band musically, but i suppose they improve the image. Chimaira is just as heavy if not heavier but have like 5 guys.

Cool song once again, first one i ever heard by them.

Incubus – Mexico Lyrics 23 years ago
The first time I heard this song, it sent shivers all over my body. Up until hearing it, I guess I never really gave Incubus a chance to impress me, but since listening to this, I've bought their cds and loved all of their music. This song is very musically similar to "drive", and both songs are deleriously well written.

submissions
Thrice – In Years To Come Lyrics 23 years ago
Not to sound like an ass or anything, but I'm rather surprised that this song has the most hits out of any other thrice song listed on here...It is melodic and such, but every thrice song is melodic...This one's rather basic when compared to The Red Death or So Strange I Remember You. Either way, there is not a single bad song on this cd or on Identity Crisis, every piece of material that thrice manufactures is incredible. The way the music, lyrics, and screaming (intensity if you will) all fit together is awe-inspiring. Thrice is the best band I've ever heard.

submissions
Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit Lyrics 23 years ago
Wow there are a lot of different arguments all going on around this song. I think its more about getting high too. He'll say a line, and then contradict it. This happens in a lot of his stuff.
Why are people spelling "Kurt" wrong? (Kurdt?) I'm just curious.

The last thing I'll say is that this is not the greatest song ever written. It's good, and this band was fucking great, but there are so many songs and so many bands out there that it is simply impossible to pick one song and separate it from all others as "the best".

AFI – Totalimmortal Lyrics 23 years ago
One thing to say about the musical part of this song too - the part where Havok sings "this rage i will not let go" gets the song all off time (only to be brought back by the two hi-hat taps) and when Offspring covered it, they corrected that error. Its probably intentional in AFI's case but thats the biggest difference I spot between the two versions. That and the fact that AFI's version is mixed better.

Rival Schools – Undercovers On Lyrics 23 years ago
This song is also my favorite off of united by fate. I think its about the female friend of the singer and how the fake crowd she has befriended is using her. The music is really well matched to the content he's singing about too. This sends shivers down my spine.

Thrice – That Hideous Strength Lyrics 23 years ago
Kahuna: AFI is a sweet band, but their lyrics dont even compare to how deep Thrice's get. Now that I think about it though, Thrice won't sell out - actually, they really can't. If they continue to make songs like they have in the past, and don't change their sound. Some people find it too harsh to listen to, so it will probably never get radioplay. This band doesnt seem like its anti-MTV either, based on what they sing about (in a few songs, the lyrics are based on famous poems). I know that Thrice is the best band I've ever heard, and that it's the same case for many others. Whoever hears and likes it is privileged, and everyone else can live without it.

These are just my thoughts, dont take any of it the wrong way.

Thrice – That Hideous Strength Lyrics 23 years ago
First things first: This song is great (not thrice's best) and this band is unparalleled. Dustin Kensrue is the world's greatest lyrical genius. His words and the music he sings to fit together flawlessly...It really is incredible.

However, because this song made it to #1 of the the top 100 popular lyrics list, hundreds ignorant and misled people have probably downloaded this song and maybe 4 or 5 others. I'm afraid that Thrice may explode in popularity, and no longer be an underground phenomenon. This band (and they're hardcore melodic punk) is worshipped by its fans more than any other band I have ever witnessed, and if that devotion changes, it would be a very unfortunate scenario.

As for the song itself, I think So Strange I Remember You tops all.

Glassjaw – Convectuoso Lyrics 23 years ago
I am caligula, Glutton of gluttons.
Man over woman. Men over women.
A whore of all men.
And I... Managed
Its not enough to say, I love all of you
And i'm...aroused
You're lying, you're lying

We are ok, in a misguided sadist's way
We are ok
We are ok in a disabled veterans way
We are ok

Can I ever begin to imagine
The terrible itch in minde in which mine
A family of 5 the and in mine
I died with wolves again
I travel with thieves again and
Ooo I...What did I teach you
What did I teach you
You're lying, you're lying

[Chorus]

So don't confuse why we put you here
For your automation for individuality
A notch on my belt is how you shall exist
A notch on my bedpost is how you shall exist
And no more no less for the common good
Thats you...American womanhood
Thats you...American womanhood

[Chorus]

Thats how the version I got goes

Thrice – Unquestioned Answers Lyrics 23 years ago
I think this song's more about how the government controls everything and people just accept it, while (my rights are restricted) and the (imbecile dynasty continues to reign). Then Dustin says to the guy that when u accept everything, you become a drone for the higher power, and have no thoughts of your own...basically you are owned by the gov. This song kicks ass even if im totally off base.

Thrice – Kill Me Quickly Lyrics 23 years ago
This song is amazing...along with every other thrice song. I got the feeling that this song was about war, and how killing one self can bring them to a new place where there is no war. The red white and blue reference points out the US as the place of war, and where all the killing takes place.
