| No Doubt – Hella Good Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
O_o you people are nuts. i think it's time we all started caring less about our "image" or their "image" and just listened to what we like. this is probably the only no doubt song i really love, and it's not much like most of the music i like, but who cares? oh, right. you do. :P |

Joelindsay, the guy isn't a lifeguard. He was a regular guy.. that's why it was such a big deal for him to "break the elemental line"... Otherwise he would have just been doing his job. |

quicksilver, i think thrice is personifying gravity by referring to it as "her." gravity seems far away, but he can still feel her pull in the background. as for the song as a whole, it seems to be about giving up on yourself because you're afraid to go on alone. he's afraid to be alone, so he's going to dive off the cliff just like everybody else has. he's going to give up trying to transcend his worldy self and find something more in life, because he's afraid to do it alone. in reality, all those who jumped off the cliff before him are dead inside. but he's denying it (that can't be blood...). they are all content in their ignorance, and he's decided to join them and leap off the cliff. he can't take the pressure of being able to see the truth of his world, so he's giving up. gonna be obliviously dead like the rest of them. |

| Hoobastank – Let You Know Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
i think this song will always make me nostalgic. i first heard it when i was reunited with my best friend. he had told me he loved me and then freaked out 6 months earlier, and we hadn't talked since. during those six months both our lives were undescribably hellish for many reasons.. and then, ironically thanks to my now ex boyfriend, we started talking again and a few days later he was living with me and my parents in my own house. he brought with him a car and a hoobastank cd, and now whenever i hear this song i remember how wonderful it felt speeding down a winding road with the wind and this song and that beautiful boy sitting there next to me..... "And all the time spent by your side Is taken deep in me Held for me to keep To look upon when I'm feeling like Everything and one Is hurting me for something or other It takes me to a better place Nowhere I'd rather go Thought I'd let you know" now the irony is that though he loves me, and i finally know i love him, he doesn't want anything more than this friendship/companionship.. "Being near you is A gift I only wish I could treasure But for now I'll sit and wait I'm still burning though Thought I'd let you know" ........ this song is just too perfectly describing my situation... well SHIT ON ME!!! why?? why why WHY? ugh.. the only thing that will give me comfort is listening to that song.... i think i'll go do that now... |

| p.s. if you try too hard to be completely original just to please your audience then you're conforming. i think hoobastank doesn't really care if people want them to be different then they are. | |

you know, everybody says they sound like incubus... but i don't like incubus. they bore the hell out of me. and yet i love hoobastank..?? don't worry, i have an explanation. the lyrics and the feeling of the music. it's different. more.. intense. not just this song either. hoobastank seems refreshingly unique(yes, unique!) to me. :) |

| Thrice – Betrayal Is A Symptom Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| hmm... just a thought. when people talk about members of thrice being christian it obviously upsets people a lot. but why does everybody say "christian"? it's obvious that there are religious connections.. they believe in god. but christianity specifically focuses primarily on jesus being the son of god. i haven't noted any mention of jesus in thrice's lyrics thusfar. why do we have to call them christian? i'm "christian" but i don't want to be called that. because, like thrice expresses so eloquently in much of their lyrics, it's a struggle i haven't won yet. we all wave the term "christian" around so carelessly. being christian doesn't necessarily mean you are oblivious, ignorant, love church, have an easy life and no real problems. it doesn't mean you're obsessed with jesus. and it doesn't mean you believe in the trinity. i know most people think that. you can still believe in god, be "christian," but totally fucked up and lost. that's what these lyrics seem to speak of. | |
| Thrice – A Torch To End All Torches Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
no it doesn't automatically mean that, but it does make it very likely that a great deal of them are. in the life of someone who believes in god (not necessarily christian!), the struggle between their faith and their world can be the most dramatic and intense thing in their life. in songs of such intensity as this one by thrice, there is little else that they could be talking about. i'm actually really amazed. until i read thrice's lyrics at this site, i had no idea what they were about. i just couldn't make out what they were saying. :P now they are an infinitely better band to me.. i didn't know the subject matter was this mature.. ah god i want to listen to thrice now....... |

| Thrice – A Subtle Dagger Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
i agree with XunspokenlullabyX. anti-government lyrics is a bit too juvenile for thrice. at the beginning it does sound like that, but the ending... Our souls they speak of something more, but we can’t look beyond ourselves, we implore empty skies because our hearts hold room for no one else. We extend our claws to grasp at shadows of the ideals we have lost, casualties of a subtle dagger buried to the hilt in our heart, blood on our hands. we all long for something more, something transcending this life. but being human we can't let go of worldly pleasures. we compromise and gradually convince ourselves we're justified in our failure until we've lost sight of our original ideals, or warped them into something false. the government doesn't truly have the power to infiltrate the human soul, people. the enemy is inside ourselves. thrice isn't about juvenile government bashing. |
