| NOFX – The Separation of Church & Skate Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Does anyone else think that NOFX's underground success and their message is what inadvertantly ruined punk, because a lot of current bands SOUND like NOFX, but they have no message or vision. Just a bunch of guys with spikey hair saying 'MY GIRLFRIEND DUMPED ME" 1,000 different ways. they's all CLEARLY influenced by NOFX. If it weren't for NOFX we wouldn't have to suffer through panic at the disco. NOFX is easily my favorite band, but seriously, without them would the current scene be better or worse. | |
| Minor Threat – Straight Edge Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Straight edge is just another group to belong to and have sharper rules than being just a guy that loves music and the rock shows, i don't do any illegal drugs but i drink too much and smoke like a chimney "Straight Edge" is just another elitist punk scene and judging by every other song of their's i seriouly doubt they tried to create a sub-culture that think's they're better than everyone else which is what all the sXe people do now a days. OMG! you're straight edge? good for you, i'll enjoy the life you're shunning, contraceptives and birth control have come a long way since the eighties. Perhaps this movement should evolve as well. |

| Descendents – I'm Not A Loser Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is really about him being bullied by the people with (undeserved) money "You think that life is really tough When your pappy won't buy You a brand new car " Cruise down the boulevard Wasting Mommy's gas while you're Looking for kicks on Friday night and they make fun of him with the pants too low and dirty shirt thing, but he's working sixty hours a week just to get what he's got, it's an economical statement, who's the loser the guy busting his ass and getting by happily on his own, or the kids living under their parents safety net and money. But the rich will never get something like that so he's still a loser to them. |

| Descendents – I'm Not A Punk Lyrics | 17 years ago |

THIS IS NOT A NO NAME PUNK BAND. this is the descendents, guys that bridged Black Flag's social relevance with simpler topic such as girls and fishing so that we were lucky enough to have bands like NOFX Rock heirarchy Ramones>>Black FLAG>>Descendents>>NOFX and NOFX led to countless shitty pop bands but you can't hold that against them. But as for this song it was WAYY ahead of it's time. Hell, this would have been ahead of it's time in the late nineties when you look at what the scene has become in the new millenium. A quick poll, does anyone say they like "Punk" anymore? Or do you just say "I'm going to a Rock 'n Roll show? |

Your name must have been an obvious choice right maggot? If you believe thatFat Mike isn't in it for the money, then I'd love ahit of whatever you're smoking. Everyone seems to want to think so far "out of the system" That they've lost th ability to rationalize that on ofteir hero's may not be as "PURE" as tey'd likethem to be. Flame all you want, i oly let's me know that somewhere deep down in your Anarchy Loving heart, that yu KNOW i'm right. Love, Luck and Lolipops Phalling Down |

Are all of you "MTV SUCKS" kis under some notion that Fat Mike lives in a Shanty-town somewhere? NEWSFLASH: FAT MIKE IS A F*CKING BILLIONAIRE He's selling just as mh shit as MTV is. Every band on fat wreck is NOT GOOD. there are a few greats (NUFAN anyone?) but there is a shitload of mediocre or worse bands thathe likes getting paid to produce. Ho is fat mike differet from the reedy corpoate suits everyone her seems to think runsMTV with the sole intention of making everyone lik crap. Personally i don't like a lot of the stuff on MTV, but how many videos do yo see, it's more televsion content nowadays so what's the problem? I LIKE NOFX, this song is great, i just think it's stupid to see everyne bash MTV and support Fat Mike who is doin the same shit. Come on people, be reasonable. Last word. Appleseed Cast is sooo much more emo than No Motiv. Peace |

| Thursday – Understanding In A Car Crash Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
i thought the car crash was like a metaphor too, no one physically died, but he dies inside everyday. And keeping with the car theme, i assumed the white lines were dividing lines on roads, kinda like him running into the sunset escaping his troubles. then the car crash comes and ruins it. blah blah blah, 12:03 obviously is his signifigance to the last time they met, the broken watch points to it, dur. I'm just repeating everyone else now so my only original point? the white lines are dividing lines on the road, and him escaping into the setting sun. Everyone else interpretations were great, just wanted to be a part of the disscussion Logan "the white lines guy" Anderson |

| The Ataris – Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| this was the infinite lives code for the original contra on the NES. I'm sure that's posted everywhere, but i haven't really scoured the boards searching. Contra was the first videogame i ever cheated in. I'll cry for the memories. | |
| The Ataris – How I Spent My Summer Vacation Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| punk e: why wouldn't this be a song to listen to when you're happy to be a live. i agree that it's about giving up one life for a chance at another. But hey, in the song everything turns out all right. It's an inspiration that he risked everything for happiness, kinda makes me bitching about going to work on friday night seem pointless. It's a song that can make you feel good inside. | |
| AFI – God Called In Sick Today Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
I thought this song was about him and a girl he loved/loved him? It makes sense "Let's admire the pattern forming. Murderous filigree. I'm caught in the twisting of the vine" sounds like an acceptance of the prescense of evil in the world, and whether he wants to or not he is a part of it and can't stop himself, even for her. "Go ascend with ivy,climbing. Ignore and leave for me the headstone crumbling behind." He is telling her to be bigger than him. His path is set but she still can have the power to choose a righteous path and divinate her own life. His "headstone" has already been laid out for him. One foot in the grave so to speak. and the chorus, of course: "I can't help my laughter as she cries. My soul brings tears to angelic eyes" she cries for him possibly, but all he can do is laugh. kind of like when you're getting tatooed, it's not the right emotion to show, but it copes with the pain. It hurts him to see her cry, and know he caused it, but laughter is all his body will allow him. "Let's amend the classic story, close it so beautifully, I'll let animosity unwind." This is where he wants to change for her, her tears have hurt him and he is ready to change his destiny (the classic story, fairy tale maybe, unalterable futures?) He's going to put a beautiful end on his story of evil, and pull back his anger in order to change. "Steal away the darkened pages, hidden so shamefully. I'll still feel the violence of the lines" And the acknowledgement that even if he can change his destiny, he can't change himself. He will still be the darkness he always has been. Even with the new ending to his story, the darkened pages set forth remain written and in tact, he can't hide the darkness forever and he knows it. "I can't stand my laughter as they cry. My soul brings tears to angelic eyes. And miles away my mother cries. Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence" The world now cries for his evil, perhaps not only his anymore, but it's own darkness. and she still cries for him, in all his wretched hopelessness. His mother's tears are felt always and pain him. and omnipotence, (god?) nutures the harmful nature he shows. maybe not about davey himself, but about one man and a struggle against a system all too real. especially with the war in aphganistan and all. i don't know, i guess you could tie it in somehow. Not only the struggle against a system, but a struggle against himself. All for the sake of love. Beautiful. There's my version of this gloomy tale. please, tell me yours. |
