| Dave Matthews Band – I Did It Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
the breakdown: "I'm mixing up a bunch of magic stuff A magic mushroom cloud of care A potion that will rock the boat will rock Make a bomb of love and blow it up" -he's talking about the music they are creating and the love and care they put into it. when everyone hears their music it will explode like a bomb and rock the world. "I did it Do you think I've gone too far I did it Guilty as charged I did it It was me right or wrong I did it Yeah --he's admitting that they had to become big to make their musci heard and make money along the way, but its up to you to decide whether he went too far to the point of selling out "I never did a single thing that did a single thing to Change the ugly ways of the world I didn't know it felt so right inside I didn't know it at all Open up the curtains I heard sirens there the lights flash and crawl I did it justice I just did it for the buzz " --he never did anything to change the world, and through their music they are able to achieve this on some level. the sirens and lights are people accusing him of selling out. he is saying he did it for THE buzz, not A buzz. by the buzz he means the way people talk and spread the message of their music. "It's a nickel or a dime for what I've done The truth is that I don't really care For such a lovely crime I'll do the time You better lock me up I'll do it again " --the money that he made along the way isnt really important to him and if it takes his "selling out" to get their music heard, he would do it again in a heartbeat. "Oh what I gotta say to you got love don't Turn it down Turn it loud Let it build We got a long way to go But you gotta start somewhere Go door to door spread the love you got You got the love You get what you want Does it matter where you get it from" --he's once again talking about the spread of their music and the message that it sends. there is alot of love in their music, so spread it around and let it be heard, it doesnt matter where or why it is coming, just spread it for what it is worth. well, thats my opinion, i honestly dont see the drug references, although it wouldnt surprise me in his lyrics to find them/ |

| The Get Up Kids – Close to Me (The Cure cover) Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| i agree. how can the original artists do it worse than a band that covers it? how would you like it if you wrote a song, had someone cover it, and then people told you that the way other people played your song was better? | |

| beachgirl4433, before saying that the lyrics suck, did you stop to think that maybe they were intended to be that way. also, how could this be one of your favorites if you think the lyrics suck. contradiction? | |

| Jimmy Eat World – Crush Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| this is one of my favorite JEW songs. i can identify with the lyrics completely. especially the line "Take in restraint like a breath. My lungs are so numb from holding back. " its the basic situation of wanting to do something about your feelings but holding back. i think i might heed the warning and not feel the regret. | |
| Thursday – Understanding In A Car Crash Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| this song is amazing. i think he is saying that he has to move on, no matter how hard it is, or how much he does not want to. if he does not let this pass, he is in a way lost in this crash. although he was not physically in the car, the emptiness that it left will keep wrecking his emotions until he can gather the strength to move on. | |

| this song is dave matthews talking about his music in general and his so-called "sellling out." He didn't do it for the money he did it for the sake of music. He had tp make a positive contribution towards what music is today. | |
