| Hurt – Alone With The Sea (Volume 2 Version) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I had always thought this song was about missing someone you had been in love with, and the "There's no more beauty in this world" part was my reasoning, because it sounds like he's given up on finding beauty (or love or some crap like that). Seeing Hurt in November, J's comments before they played this song really were helpful. He said something to the effect of "The spacing of the pause is very important. It's either 'There's no more beauty in this world' or 'There's - no more beauty in this world'". So there's another way to interpret it... That I'm already over you, and there's nothing more beautiful than being alone with the sea. | |
| 36 Crazyfists – The Tide and Its Takers Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Dan101, I agree that this song is about becoming closer to a religion of some sort, I'd go as far as saying that it's about being saved by God ('your breath fills my skin'). The last verse 'I'd sleep in mountains of rain to never escape from the endless you' is a pretty big hint. I'd also agree that it's an incredible song. A great ending to a great album. |
|
| Shinedown – Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Pretty awesome song. The whole album is great, I think it's their best yet as a whole. And this song is really straight forward lyrically... about a self-destructive woman with some addiction problems. One possible correction, I think I'm hearing him say "Fuck the silver, let's go straight for the gold" at the end of the second verse. |
|
| Evans Blue – Dear Lucid, Our Time Is Right Now Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
some minor corrections from the booklet: 1st verse: "But those were just afterthoughts, and all new thieves are after us" The chorus is: "Dance away while the bullets fly... I'll bet they put something in the air tonight" Start of the 2nd verse: "Now bombs light the sky like, our fireworks just like..." (which is the start of my favorite line in the song) The backing part in the third verse: "Who will fix this impossibility, when it's crushing your throat?" Yeah, I'd agree with Markie that it's about a breakup. A really messy breakup, at that. |
|
| Evans Blue – Shine Your Cadillac Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Some lyrical corrections from the booklet: 2nd part of the chorus: "Is this the look that sells the skin? Are these the names we lose again and again Sing I don't care what it costs" 2nd verse: "I was reading all your magazines, I had something Until you took it from me" and the 3rd verse: "Will you hang me from your wall? You might as well, just because" -------------------------- And as far as the meaning goes: It's about rampant commercialism. The BUY BUY BUY stuff attitude a lot of people have, without caring about what they're losing to get it. Matisyn doesn't like that. The chorus is pretty much saying cheers to not giving a shit about what you're selling. The "I don't care what it costs" line in the chorus comes off very sarcastically, like he's saying I don't care how much it costs, I don't want it anyway. The title kinda helps to give it away too, Cadillacs being pretty expensive luxury cars. What a kickass song too. |
|
| Dry Kill Logic – FEEL THE BREAK Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Great song. I have it stuck in my head cause I heard it earlier. the horrible irony in all of this is that I broke my finger tonight at work. I'm feeling the break right now. this is hella lame. | |
| Bloodhound Gang – Pennsylvania Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
FUCK YEAH!!! Wawa is the greatest thing ever. And no, I'm not gonna tell you what a Wawa is. But this song is fuckin hilarious. The BHG have done it again just simply by bringing Wawa into a song. And I about died laughing from hearing that line. Awesome. This made my week better. |
|
| Soundgarden – Kyle Petty, Son of Richard Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Interesting. Didn't know that Chris Cornell was a NASCAR fan. And I haven't heard this song yet; so I'll have to check it out. The lyrics are pretty interesting though. | |
| Filter – Hey Man, Nice Shot Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Here's a bit of useless trivia about this song: The guitar riff in the chorus is the same exact riff in the chorus of Stabbing Westward's song "Ungod". This is because guitarist Stuart Zechman had just left Stabbing Westward for Filter, and for some reason he used the same riff in the chorus of both songs. And after this song became popular, Stabbing Westward got a lot of shit for playing "Ungod" live because of the riff. Which sucks because "Ungod" was released about a year before Filter's "Short Bus" album was. Either way, both songs are excellent and sound nothing like each other, other than the (same) chorus riff. |
|
| Sevendust – Face to Face Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Wow. Somehow I don't think it's about jacking off (clever interpretation though), or Fred Durst (despite the fact that he's a giant douche). I think it's another song about Dez, like "Enemy" was. This song's got so much fucking energy, it's excellent live. |
|
| Sinch – Plasma Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
These are the lyrics to the older version of Plasma. Off of the EP that they independently released in 2000; this version is different from the version on the self-titled album. It's cool to listen to both versions and see how they switched the chorus and the bridge. As far as the meaning; I think it's definitely coming from his point of view. He's asking if they can go their separate ways, and you get the feeling that the relationship just isn't working for either of them anymore. In this version of the song, he seems to be completely done with her ('And I will be there to see it up in flames/Fates rearranged'), and they completely changed this part on the self-titled version to 'And I will be here cause I don't mind waiting', which is more moderate. I also think the line "Sometimes I think that these chains can be broken" is reference to their relationship as a chain holding him down. This is truly an excellent song; it's my favorite Sinch song so far. And I've been there before, if I was any kind of lyricist I bet I'd write something very similar... |
|
| Cannibal Corpse – Hacksaw Decapitation Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Easily my favorite CC song. When I had a radio show at college, I used to read the lyrics to this song on air like it was freelance poetry. It was beautiful, because these lyrics are beautiful. Of course, listening to the actual song kinda kills the mood because the singing is ridiculously bad. | |
| Cannibal Corpse – Blowtorch Slaughter Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| You said it quiffporn... pure comedic value. This song is (well lyrically) hilarious. These guys have talent, musically speaking, but the vocals are shite. | |
| Cattle Decapitation – Testicular Manslaughter Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
"Ever had your gonads smashed by a ball-peen hammer?" Now that is hysterical. Sure, this song is awful, but some of the lyrics are fucking hilarious. I'd say it's a toss-up between this and 'Land of the Severed Meatus' for best bad death metal song ever. |
|
| Ozzy Osbourne – No More Tears Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Levee is another word for dam. So pretty much, a levee of tears is a lot of water that someone has cried. This song kicks ass. Mike's bass line is great and Zakk's guitarwork (as usual) is fucking awesome. |
|
| Deicide – Bastard of Christ Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Well anyways, I just spent about half an hour reading this thread. I was bored. It entertained me, good job people. And shadowwiththeeyes, 'Intercourse' is in the great state of Pennsylvania. And it's within 15 minutes of other excellently named villages such as 'Bird-in-Hand', 'Paradise', and 'Blue Ball'. I'm proud to say that I've been to all of these places, and it's towns like these (and the Amish people that live in them) that make me glad to be from PA. |
|
| The Union Underground – Revolution Man Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Actually, I think it's about the guy who killed John Lennon: "Listen while I load my gun He said to me" - Sorta self-explanatory. Lennon's killer pulling his gun. "Something 'bout a chosen one It's comin' back to me" - Lennon being one of the most influential musicians ever, chosen one. "Watch him while I taste the sun" - Not sure about this one, I'm thinking that Lennon is high. "He said to me Something 'bout a chosen one You'll never be" - Through ending Lennon's life, he took away the chosen one. "Forty days won't break a man It was a bullet in his head" - Comparing Lennon to Jesus. I think he's saying that Lennon was the biggest rock star in the world, and his lifestyle didn't kill him. Instead, a bullet did. In my opinion, Revolution Man refers to Lennon's killer. And I saw an interview with UU's singer about 4 years ago and he said it was about Lennon, but I can't remember exactly what he said. So this is my theory... |
|
| Breaking Benjamin – Water Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Oh I know that already, but I was bored so I fixed most of this version. And they're not really that incorrect, the only line that's fucked up anymore is the "I never wanted anything from you", which should read "I never wanted nothing from you". Not a big deal. But I'm gonna leave it like this so it's just slightly wrong. | |
| Breaking Benjamin – Water Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Two and a half years later... i've finally corrected the lyrics. Yay. Fuck. I'm bored. And hungry. I'm outta here. |
|
| Breaking Benjamin – No Games Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Fellated is another word for blow job. Which is why that line is hilarious to those of us with dirty minds. One of my favorite songs off Saturate too, definitely about playing head games in relationships. |
|
| Dog's Eye View – Everything Falls Apart Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| It's definitely "the devil is in my pants". Great line. Great lyrics. | |
| Candlebox – Understanding Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I believe this one's about being a rock star. Candlebox had to write and record the "Lucy" album in less than 3 months thanks to demands from their record label. (So if you've ever wondered why the whole CD has that raw, pressured and underproduced feel to it, I think this is the reason). But anyways, lines like the following sum it up: "It's all been overated, this life you live, it's not your own. There's no one here to help you. It's all been un-adulterated lies, they'll keep telling you. They'll keep telling you, how I want to..." Pretty much Kevin Martin saying that the rock star life is overrated, and you just get controlled by your record label. Another excellent Candlebox song. |
|
| Soundgarden – Tighter & Tighter Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| One of my two favorite songs off "Down on the Upside". And I agree... it's either about death or having to go far far away (I'm thinking more towards death). Chris Cornell's a great lyricist too. | |
| Type O Negative – White Slavery Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Cocaine. Easy enough to figure out. | |
| Ünloco – Hands & Knees Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
This song is about strippers. Really, it is. I read that in an interview with the singer a while ago. |
|
| Type O Negative – Black Sabbath (From the Satanic Perspective) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
For those of you that don't already know, this is a remake of the Black Sabbath song "Black Sabbath". Except it's written from the eyes of Lucifer as opposed to Ozzy's "human" viewpoint. This is an excellent cover, Peter Steele really takes to the role of Satan well. And for flip guy, just because the song's lyrics go against your beliefs does NOT mean that the song sucks. It just means that you're easily offended, and weak minded. Anyways, anybody who knows anything about this band knows that a lot of their lyrics are sarcastic and/or tongue-in-cheek (AKA: This is just plain good songwriting, this is not devil worship). That's part of what makes them great. And besides that, people have all different kinds of beliefs, so trying to force yours upon those who read this stuff is not a good idea. Get some thicker skin, and quit reading lyrics like these if it bothers you that much. Honestly, I appreciate the prayers dude, but there's no need to pray for any of us, cuz we're gonna come to our own conclusions about religion and shit like that. To each his own, man... |
|
| Candlebox – Far Behind Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
This is the greatest song ever written. Definitely about losing friends to drugs. I'm pretty sure it's about losing a close friend, and a girlfriend as well (the "Maybe brother, maybe love" line supports that). It's a fucking beautiful brilliant song; sad, angry and powerful. It's a shame these guys didn't get any of the credit they deserve, cause they're very underrated. --------------------------------------------- And now, some info about Candlebox (since there were some questions above): They put out 3 full CD's; "Candlebox" (1993), "Lucy" (1995), and "Happy Pills" (1998). The band officially broke up in 2000, and singer Kevin Martin has continued on with his new band The Hiwatts. They're pretty damn good too... And for the guy who said most of Candlebox's work was "Pearl Jam derived bullshit". Dude, you can't be fucking serious. These guys sound NOTHING like Pearl Jam. At all. Ever. I've got every CD by both these bands; and they don't have similar riffs or similar playing styles at all. The only thing they've got in common with PJ is that both bands are from Seattle. Same with Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Nirvana. All 5 of these "grunge" bands got huge between 1991 and 1994, but they all had very different sounds. Unfortunately, Candlebox is the forgotten band out of the above mentioned, and it's a damn shame because they were excellent. (In my opinion, the best). Anyways, this ends my rant. Listen to Candlebox... |
|
| Nickelback – Flat On The Floor Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
A lot of these lines are wrong... "So what I did it I admit it and I'm pleading the fifth" "Three to go I'm forgetting all that I've ever known" "Can't stand up at all, can't see nothing at all" ---------------------- This is pretty damn self-explanatory. I think it's just about getting so drunk that you wind up on the floor. "One More", the anthem for the know it all... |
|
| Sinch – Track 01 (2003 Demo) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I believe this ones about the music industry. Probably inspired by Sinch's problems with Roadrunner. And it's pretty damn true... major labels all just want a band to make hit singles (Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd). It's all the same old song, and unique bands like Sinch get shafted instead of promoted. | |
| Sinch – The Silent Acquiescence Of Millions Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Harry Manback pretty much nailed it. Anybody who's seen Sinch live knows the ocular noise machine runs the words "Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday" over and over again during this song, with various images and other things in between. Basically saying that everyday is the same, and everybody's become numb to it. But as Jamie screams at the end "I'm numb... but I want to feel something"... he wants to break away from it. They did an excellent job of getting through on this song. |
|
| Candlebox – Blossom Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Yeah it's a love song... definitely about breaking up, and coming to terms with it. They've grown apart, and he can see it, and realize that he's alone. "Yes I know now It's all on my own Yes I know now I'll watch as you go Yes I know It's alright" |
|
| Stabbing Westward – Can't Happen Here Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Well there's some stuff missing above, so here's the full first verse: Late last night I tripped in violent shades of green One thousand voiceless faces were chasing me I ran through air as thick as glue From a thousand fucking faces that all looked like you ------------------------------------------- And this song is about having a bad trip on acid. That and Chris Hall's ex... the two combined can't make for a pleasant experience. |
|
| Candlebox – Butterfly (Reprise) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
This song is also about killing butterflies in a jar, but it's written from the butterfly's point of view. (Explains all the lines about fluttering on and dying beautiful) This is definitely my favorite song off of Lucy... it's got some great lines about life and death in it, especially the last verse. Actually, it's probably one of the best, and most underrated songs I know. Candlebox was an excellent band... that's for damn sure. |
|
| Candlebox – Butterfly Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| It's about killing butterflies in a jar. | |
| Candlebox – Cover Me Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| The lyrics are a conversation between Kevin Martin and God. Excellent song. | |
| Candlebox – Best Friend Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Yep... it's about the bass player's dog. | |
| Breaking Benjamin – No Games Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Dude... I wouldn't have believed that one either, but it's on the band's website too. So that's what Ben says. Personally, I don't know how he can sing 'I fellated myself' with a straight face, cause I'd die laughing if I was on tour playing this song every night and I had to sing it. | |
| Lamb of God – Laid to Rest Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
It says 'forget it' in the liner notes in the CD... which is where I got the lyrics from. It sounds more like 'admit it' though so thanks for correcting me. And this song fucking destroys. Very powerful. |
|
| Bloodhound Gang – A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
So I says, "Even this one I have where Jesus Christ is jackhammering Mickey Mouse in the doo-doo hole with a lawn dart as Garth Brooks gives birth to something resembling a cheddar cheese log with almonds on Santa Claus's tummy-tum?" -This is the best line ever written. EVER. |
|
| Nothingface – Here Come The Butchers Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This one's really obvious. Priests fucking little boys. | |
| Type O Negative – Red Water (Christmas Mourning) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
It's about the death of Peter's father. This is one of my favorite songs on October Rust, and definitely the darkest song on that CD. Apparently they never play it live and never will, from what I've read. |
|
| Alice in Chains – Whale & Wasp Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Jerry Cantrell is an amazing songwriter. The music here is beautiful. And I think the Whale & Wasp thing comes out in the instruments used in the song. The whale is the electric lead guitar playing (bending) the sustained high notes during the song. Which sound a lot like whale calls. The wasp seems to be the violin or cello which kinda responds to it later in the song. The violin has a buzzing tone, kinda like a flying wasp would. So that's my theory on where the whale & wasp idea came from. Whether there's some deeper meaning to the music or to the theory of whale & wasp, I don't know. If anyone out there has a deeper meaning, put it up here. | |
| Alice in Chains – God Am Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
The significance of the "does God have lips" part is another drug reference. The sound in the very beginning of the song sounds like somebody sparking a bong. So it seems like somebody's getting high, and thinking philosophically about God. Whoa... Then the song starts. And it's a damn good song too. |
|
| Killswitch Engage – Take This Oath Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
"This next song goes out to those of you who like the combination of root beer soda and vanilla ice cream. It's called Take This Float" -What Adam said in concert before they played it here in Philly. Also, he was wearing really short shorts and prancing around on stage. It was amazing. Not many people in metal bands can pull this off, but he is a crazy mother fucker, and I love him for that. Of course, I really don't think this song's about root beer floats. It seems to be more about not conforming. I do like the float explanation though. |
|
| Breaking Benjamin – Medicate Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| I think it's called forever razorblades... I put lyrics up under that name at least. Cause its not listed on the cd or anything. | |
| Flaw – Fall Into This Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| I have no idea what the songs about really... but this song is apparently on a cd that Flaw released independently in 1998 called the Paper CD. I don't have the cd or anything, but I downloaded the song (and most of their other early songs) off of audiogalaxy when it worked. This song stuck out more than any of the others... I think its one of their best. Maybe it'll make it onto Flaw's next album in some way... I hope so. | |
| Flaw – Fall Into This Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| I did this by ear, so these lyrics aren't 100% correct. This song is really good though, it's a shame it didn't make it onto Through The Eyes. | |
| Breaking Benjamin – Water Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
Well I did this by ear, so these lyrics might be just a little off... they should be close. And check this band out if you've never heard them, they're pretty damn good. |
|
| Stabbing Westward – ACF Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| Actually, the name ACF came from the first 3 notes of the bassline. It's got nothing to do with the lyrics or meaning of the song at all... | |
| Candlebox – You Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
An amazing song, one of their best. It is about drug abuse, I remember reading an interview where Kevin Martin said that the lyrics to "You" was basically him talking to himself about his drug addictions. But anyways, the lyrics and music in this song are amazing as with most of Candlebox's songs. The last lines really stick out in my mind: And I'll lie for you as I die for you Pain in my heart it is real And I'll tell you now How I feel inside Fuck you It's for you |
