Alkaline Trio – Another Innocent Girl Lyrics 21 years ago
On the concert DVD Dan says this song is about one of his friends; I forget the name of the guy, but his last name definitely isn't Andriano. So what I'm thinking is that it's from Dan's point of view, but not about himself (or Matt)"

Alkaline Trio – All On Black Lyrics 22 years ago
Yeah, exactly, BadCaseofMurder. Matt is a fan of Anton LaVey's artwork (he's a known Satanist); that doesn't make him a satanist, though. This song has the recurrent theme of the death of a loved one (not too present, in this form, on Good Mourning) which I suppose all stems from the same experience. This song to me sounds like it's Skiba's girlfriend (or ex) who died.

Brand New – Okay I Believe You, but My Tommy Gun Don't Lyrics 22 years ago
Uh, guys, I'm about 98% sure that this song is written in jest from someone else's perspective. No one in their right mind (no matter how much you love their music, he's not THAT self-centered) would write a song about themselves that's like this. I think this song is about someone he knows who might've gotten an over-inflated ego for some reason or other. People have mentioned the guy from Taking Back Sunday, that could be it.

Anyway, this is an amazing song, probably the best off the new album if not for Guernica.

Alkaline Trio – As You Were Lyrics 23 years ago
What the fuck, dude... they made ONE video and now they've gone mainstream? Hot Water Music have made videos! They're not mainstream, since they're in your name and you're sooo underground. BTW, Alkaline Trio has already toured with Blink, doing the first part of their act, and this was before the Stupid Kid video hit the airwaves.

Reel Big Fish – Where Have You Been? Lyrics 23 years ago
Yeah, it's definitely a change from their usual sound. They sorta stripped away the ska sound but it still sounds like RBF. It's a great song.

Not one of Saves The Day's best songs but I gotta say this song gives the singer's voice a damn good workout.

I don't think they sold out... they 'evolved' into something that MTV liked.

Does this band even exist?! The lyrics are great but I'm starting to think that this is a phantom band.

Jets to Brazil – I Typed For Miles Lyrics 23 years ago
Actually I think this is a song about writer's block. He holed himself up in a hotel room to write some songs and he just can't get anything on the paper. He begins to doubt his choice of career (note to self: no one cares, your voice is average). By the end he's completely exasperated.

Strung Out – Bring Out Your Dead Lyrics 23 years ago
This is a song about someone whose addiction (to drugs, most likely) has overcome them to the point where they are looking death in the face.

Wheatus – Punk Ass Bitch Lyrics 23 years ago
This is a song about a guy who really likes this girl and she might even dig him, too... until the punk-ass bitch comes and steals her away with his pecs and his biceps and his car and his JUVENILE FREAKIN' ATTITUDE and his STUPID FRAEKING HUGGING TENDENCIES!!!! Ah... sorry 'bout that. Yeah, this is a good song, my fave from Wheatus since I usually can't stomach the guy's whiny castrated midget voice. This one is good, however. I "like"the topic.

Rx Bandits – What If Lyrics 23 years ago
Actually, I think it goes like this: the guy likes this girl and he ponders that fact taht he could tell her he loves her or that she's a stupid whore, and it wouldn't make a difference. She pays so little attention to him that her reaction would be the same. So whatever she says, it's "never better, never worse".

This is the closest that Alkaline Trio has gotten to a love song, and it kicks ass.

Alkaline Trio – I Lied My Face Off Lyrics 23 years ago
Ehh... I would consider this emo but you may be right. After all most AT songs rock pretty hard and emo is usually melancholy.

Alkaline Trio – Private Eye Lyrics 23 years ago
Okay as has been said, this is about a guy who's been dumped and he sorta stalks her around. Obviously, however, he's not completely sane and in his mind he's a private eye. Here's a little break-up of the song:

"I dragged this lake looking for corpses
Dusted for prints, pried up the floorboards
Pieces of planes and black box recorders
Don't lie"

This is the guy looking for proof that she dumped him for another guy or that she was cheating on him.

" And I've been preoccupied with these sick, sick senses
That sense DNA on barbed wire fences"

This is him trying to cope with the depression of being dumped but instead he considers it just a 'sick, sick sense'.

" Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect
That has no alibi"

Here he says basically that he hopes someday he'll find someone that won't dump him.

" New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven
I watched flies fuck on channel 11
There was no one to kiss, there was nothing to drink
Except some old rotten milk someone left in the sink"

On New Year's Eve you have a party of course and at midnight you kiss your loved one. He was so infatuated with that girl that once she dumped him he had nowhere to go and he stays alone at home.

" And there's no ring on the phone anymore
There's no reason to call I passed out on the floor"

Here he is giving himself the idea that she still wants him but she doesn't need to call back when in fact she won't and doesn't want to.

"Smoked myself stupid and drank my insides raisin dry
But at the right place at the right time
I'll be dead wrong and you'll be just fine
And I won't have to quit doing fucked up shit
For anyone but me"

By "I'll be dead wrong and you'll be just fine" he means that someday he'll find out that she still loved him and that he'll be wrong for having doubted her. He says that he won't take her back... of course she won't come back anyway. The fucked up shit is just the stuff he did when he was with her.

"And at the right place at the right time
It will have been worth it to stand in line
And you won't have to stop
Saying "I love cops" for anyone but me
Your private eye"

What this means is when she comes back (or when he thinks she's gonna come back) it will have been worth the wait because he will be her only love.

Like has been mentioned already, this is some pretty bleak, depressing stuff. The guy is just fucked up beyond recognitioné This is my interpretation, of course. To someone else it could mean something else.

Andrew W.K. – She Is Beautiful Lyrics 23 years ago
Wow, this song kicks ass. The lyrics are kinda plain but everytime I hear this song, I want to break stuff and jump around, so I guess that counts for something, right? It's a weird melody for a love song, but then again, love is weird.

Weezer – El Scorcho Lyrics 23 years ago
Well this song is about not being able to tell someone you love them, I agree. Basically it's someone that he knows, but not very well, and he's scared of rejection. If she rejects him he could lose her forever, and if he doesn't do a damn thing, he could lose her too. The Madame Butterfly references are just icing on the cake. This is a great song.

Home Grown – More Than Friends Lyrics 23 years ago
This is Home Grown's best song. It doesn't sound too revolutionary but the lyrics, as simple as they are, really hit hard. Besides it's a lot less stupid than that pot song.

Alkaline Trio – Fuck You Aurora Lyrics 23 years ago
Well it could be his fault for a variety of reasons. The guy was shit-faced and took the guy's car and crashed and died and the guy is saying "it's my fault, I never should've let you take my car". He doesn't want to drive a Chrysler because it will remind him of his 'mistake' and he hates the town because that's where his friend died.

Besides this, this is a kick-ass song. Again, awesome lyrics. I love AT.

Alkaline Trio – I Lied My Face Off Lyrics 23 years ago
This is a brilliant song about, well, a breakup like just about every song by Alkaline Trio. The lyrics of their songs are just... quite possibly the ebst in emo, but then again it's a good genre. I mean, come on, "like watching newborn babies crack from work related stress", that's BRILLIANT!

I'd want to listen to this song at a point where I felt like crap. Thankfully that hasn't really happened yet.

The Starting Line – I'm Real (J. Lo cover) Lyrics 23 years ago

Fenix TX – Katie W. Lyrics 23 years ago
Well, it can be interpreted in both ways. I mean, even if the song is about weed, it still works as a song about a girl and if you like it that way... I'm sure the band knew they had a double meaning there.
