| Mos Def – New World Water Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
One may also interpret the song as entirely metaphorical, the "water" representing the dangerous direction the world is heading towards. Mos Def uses the concept of "new world" water to describe the negative way that humans are tampering with the natural order. When he explains that
"Heads is acting wild, sippin poor, puffin dank/Competin with the next man for higher playin rank/See I ain't got time try to be Big Hank,/Fuck a bank; I need a twenty-year water tank
he criticizes the overcompetitive dog-eat-dog world for ignoring the big picture: that we are destroying the world we are living in with pollution, crime, greed and hatred. He warns that soon we will be forced to pay our repercussions, that "while these knuckleheads is out here sweatin they goods, the sun is sitting in the treetops burnin the woods". Greed seems to be his major concern, perhaps because he believes that all the problems caused by civilization are rooted in our intrinsic nature to constantly desire for more. He explains that "it's all about gettin that cash (Money)". |

I, too, must complain about the lyrics. I wish songmeanings was open-edit. Here are the corrections:
Seen through EAST st. Laurent glasses
these writers don't rhyme, JUST sort of, I THINK 'em.
I ask if you talkin' bout CLASSICS do my name get brought up?
If you're a stripper named PORSCHE -* the philistines that occupy most of the internet don't realize that you normally pronounce "porsche" lik e"porscha". in the stanza before he pronounces it correctly as well, it's just too fast to hear the 'a'.*
who complains about WHAT HE IS OWED
he made his own LANE |

Sometimes i think this is about war. It seems to be alking about the futility and impulsiveness of war. Anyway, although this is one of their less mainstream songs, i think it is by far the best. The lyrics and tune are amazing. |

| Bad Religion – American Jesus Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
|
There's a story about a politician who was debating whether to use English as America's official national language. He is quoted as saying, "If it's good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for us!", which pretty much sums up the exasperation at the ignorant masses that this song is trying to portray. |

Yeah, only the Aquabats can do something so genius. It's metaphorical if you're feeling philosphical, and silly and contagiously fun if you're feeling good. |

| Blink-182 – What's My Age Again? Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
|
Ok, maybe i'm thinking too far into it, but it could possibly be about a guy with a mental disease of some sort, (not just ADD), and it makes him act like a small child. I'm pretty sure it's NOT the meaning of the song but i just thought it would be cool. And the message would be, why do you have to act your age? Anyway, can anyone explain to me why this song's lead singer is different from the current, higher-pitched one? In my opinion the older one was wayyy better. |

Anthony Hamilton has an amazing voice. There's a lot of soul in his songs. this is kind of a simple song to understand; he's waiting for his woman to come back to him, yet it's so deep because of the way he sings. |

yeah a2k pretty much got it right. i love the video for this song. x-ecutioners are really good, just not recognized. and for all of you who find linkin park an insult to rap, let me explain: it's NOT rap. they've talked about this before. it's HYBRID! it's a totally new generation of music, and it has WORKED. so don't be offended by the fact that you think they make rap look bad. just appreciate them. they certainly deserve it.
and plus, they don't cuss. how crazy is that? |

one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard. Iggy's unique voice blends perfectly with the wild guitar and drum scheme that Sum 41 is so famous for. the unforgettable tune of the guitar, mixed with Iggy's voice produces an unbelievable song |

yet another beautiful song by LTJ. i love how their lyrics are almost decipherable, but it's got some sort of inpenetratable covering that leaves you wondering what they really mean.
Then packing up and heading south
Their heads full of hopes and dreams
They’re just like me... |
