| Temple of the Dog – Hunger Strike Lyrics | 8 months ago |
| @[ilikefood:48131] It's definitely "goin'" for at least most of the song. There is one time -- near the middle of the song -- where I could believe that Vedder says "growin'" instead. Other than that, it's definitely "goin'". I base this on what I hear as well as -- and I know it sounds strange -- how their mouths look when they sing in the video. | |

| David Bowie – Space Oddity Lyrics | 8 months ago |
|
@[jmsn2393:48044] I've always hated poetry, and even more than that, the hyper-arrogant people who think they understand poetry the same way a person can understand hard science. The problem with poetry is that no two people can ever seem to agree what a written line means. There are always multiple ways to interpret it, and this song is no exception. However, and first of all, Major Tom was a persona of David Bowie. This is not up for debate in any way. Bowie went on to clearly state that he was on drugs when he saw the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey", and that his drug use inspired the lyrics to "Space Oddity". Losing communication with Ground Control is about drug use, as is the entire reference to being in space. And in Bowie's later song, "Ashes to Ashes", Major Tom re-establishes communication with Ground Control, and they call him a "junkie" in the line that says, "We know Major Tom's a junkie". The parts about "made the grade" and the papers wanting to know "whose shirts you wear" can easily be taken to be a reference to Bowie's commercial success. Have some humility. Especially when you're wrong. |

| Highly Suspect – My Name Is Human Lyrics | 11 months ago |
|
"where did the stars come from? You folks that have a problem with God are good at going on about how much God isn't real...but you don't ever have answer to the question. Nobody does. Not for certain." Exactly, NOBODY DOES, NOT FOR CERTAIN. But we're not the ones pretending to know for sure -- that's what religious zealots do. We don't have "a problem with God", we simply question whether a god exists in the first place. Where did the stars come from? Maybe they've always been there. Maybe the universe is eternal. You could even call the universe "God". There, I answered you. |

| Sting – Island Of Souls Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| The song is about how capitalism in a liberal democracy crushes the human spirit as it crushes the worker. You can't be an honest, intelligent person and not realize the brutal anti-worker, anti-human, greed-based history of capitalism. It is simply undeniable. The song ends with the dismayed narrator wishing to go to a place that recognizes and values the human soul. | |
| E-Town Concrete – Weak Link Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
He's contemplating suicide and realizing that's the only way to get sympathy -- to kill himself. Many things point to that interpretation: Cemeteries feeling like home, no plan to grow old, speaking of weakness and wanting "to leave", wondering if the world will continue and thoughts of those left behind, telling himself not to be a pussy and to go through with it, not to think twice, and paying that price to attain sympathy. |

Y' know, sometimes when I get up in the morning, I don't know if I can face another day 'Cause shit's been so fuckin' hard for so fuckin' long And it don't seem like shit's ever gonna change Sometimes it seems like shit ain't doin' nothin' but gettin' worse Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I really despise what I see 'Cause pride, strength, honor, love, and life They don't seem to have a whole lot to do with me It feels like something went wrong with me a long time ago Something inside me, way down deep died And I can't remember when I just don't know where the fuck I went wrong What's life but a river of tears anyway, huh? [2X] Every day Each fuckin' day I pray I pray to a god that I know does not exist For a way Some fuckin' way Some day For a way to make my way through this world full of shit I've got nothing left I wait for the angel of death I've lost too many times Too many times to count The pain is great Let me tell you somethin' Rock bottom is a sweet fuckin' dream A myth made up by a liar Whose despair is a void you can slip into forever I've been as low as you can go And I guess when you're at the bottom, the only place you can go is up But every time I start to get ahead Every time I start to get somewhere It seems like someone or something just knocks me the fuck back down One step forward, two steps back I read somewhere that without hope, man is but an animal I think I've lost hope I've got nothing left I wait for the angel of death I've lost too many times Too many times to count The pain is great And I'm so fuckin' tired of being fucked up all the time But I can't seem to do it any other way Maybe I'm not as strong as you But sometimes, my fucked-up life, it brings me down when I look around My life, it didn't make me hard It just hardened something way down deep inside me I think it was my humanity I want it back I wanna feel normal again, I wanna feel like a human I don't wanna be like this no more I'm just lookin' for some kind of shelter or salvation Or just somethin' to believe in Or maybe just... Just someone to care I've got nothing left I wait for the angel of death I've lost too many times Too many times to count The pain is great I never asked for life I wish that at birth I had died I tried to drown this hurt Death will be the cure for all this pain [2X] Every day Each fuckin' day I pray I pray to a god that I know does not exist For a way Some fuckin' way Some day For a way to make my way through this world full of shit I've got nothing left I wait for the angel of death I've lost too many times Too many times to count The pain is great I never asked for life I wish that at birth I had died I tried to drown this hurt Death will be the cure for all this pain [2X] Every day Each fuckin' day I pray I pray to a god that I know does not exist For a way Some fuckin' way Some day For a way to make my way through this world full of shit I've got nothing left I wait for the angel of death I've lost too many times Too many times to count The pain is great I never asked for life I wish that at birth I had died I tried to drown this hurt Death will be the cure for all this pain [2X] Every day Each fuckin' day I pray I pray to a god that I know does not exist For a way Some fuckin' way Some day For a way to make my way through this world full of shit There's nowhere to turn Everyone betrays you You can't trust anyone, and I'm so fuckin' paranoid I'm always waiting for the fall, for the let-down There's just nobody for sure I can't remember when a day's gone by that I haven't thought about takin' myself out I know I ain't shit And I know I ain't ever gonna be shit I got no future But I think I could deal with it I think I could live If I could look at just one person, and see them smile at me, and know that they meant it [4X] Every day Each fuckin' day I pray I pray to a god that I know does not exist For a way Some fuckin' way Some day For a way to make my way through this world full of shit Redemption denied |

| Shinedown – 45 Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| Beautiful song. Stunning in the original and acoustic version. Brent Smith\'s voice is incredible.\n\nTo me, this song speaks to certain ways the world has changed for the worse, and how incredibly difficult it is to deal with.\n\nMy favorite part is:\n\nEveryone\'s pointing their fingers\nAlways condemning me\nAnd nobody knows what I believe\n\nBecause that\'s my life in a nutshell. I am relentlessly condemned, but never have an opportunity to even be heard. Never a fair shake. I can\'t even spell it out here, or--and I absolutely guarantee this--the site would take the comment down and ban me. And no, it\'s not because I\'m a hate-filled violent lunatic. | |

It makes more sense. Who the hell calls it a "muffin"?\n\nNot that it matters. The song sucks. The lyrics are the low-IQ, low-brow garbage the powers that be want us to be focused on. Just working crappy jobs, buying crap, and being sex-obsessed, and generally not noticing how the real screwing being done is them screwing us. | |

| The Faceless – Autotheist Movement III: Deconsecrate Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
There does not logically have to be a creator. That just creates a chicken-or-egg scenario. Who created the creator? If the creator can have existed forever, then why can't the universe itself? Maybe there have always been an infinite procession of bang/crunch cycles. But even if I grant that there was a creator, that is a far cry from lending credence to all the other specifics of Christi[n]anity. All those beliefs really are made up from nothing. In other words, even if there is a creator, who's to say it's YOUR specific creator? At the end of the day, not one of us knows where everything came from, and it's senseless to pretend we do. I embrace the fact that I have no idea, and I refuse to be cowed by religions like yours. |

| Mudvayne – Cradle Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
I'm not arrogant enough to proclaim what this song means, but I will say what it means to me. And to me, it speaks to my (non-) relationship with my father, and the unending mental torment I've endured as a result. It speaks of how I looked up to him when I was young and naïve, even though he was never there for me. It mentions how he walked away from me when my parents divorced, and how I was "blind" as a child, and then as a young man, struggling without a single male role model. It mentions the fact that I've never known what it's like to feel loved, since my mother ignored me as well. It plaintively and yet unexpectantly calls to the sky for help. It speaks to defiance when it says "I never needed you" while adding the conflicting sentiment that "I can't see going on", because sometimes, shit's just so hard that the reason for doing so is impossible to find. This is one of those songs I love because I identify with it so much, but find hard to listen to because I identify with it just too much. The rage and torment inside me is beyond description. |

I can't believe I haven't commented on this song yet. This is one of a very few songs that are intensely personal to me, but I can rarely listen to it, because it's just too difficult for me. I grew up with a father who ignored me. He had time for hobbies, girlfriends, and everything else but his son. He always had better places to go after work than home. So yeah, I can relate to the message in this song. In the mid-1990s, when I was an adult, and after I'd given up on him completely, I gave this song to him by putting it on a cassette tape and leaving the tape in his mailbox. He spoke to my mother some time later and claimed that the tape had nothing on it. Great guy. |

| Audioslave – Shadow On The Sun Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
@[truehearttrue:26840] - Not all other people see it because it doesn't make much sense. I construe this line: "Once upon a time I was of the mind to lay your burden down" To be suggesting suicide. Those of us who know what that feels like understand what it means to be seriously depressed, to feel dead inside, and to feel like a burden to one's spouse, family, friends, etc. Suicide is therefore about "laying their burden down". The song is called "Shadow On The Sun", not "Gee I Sure Miss You". The vast majority of the lines say nothing to suggest it's about a relationship. Instead, they speak to being dead and tormented inside. And Cornell is well known to have had a long history of depression and suicidal thoughts. And Cornell did, in fact, end up committing suicide in 2017. I'm not Monday morning quarterbacking here; I said the same thing in 2012, because this is how I've always interpreted the song. |

This song is about the love that the singer feels coming from God, our Lord and Saviour. >I cannot forgive, what I cannot forget >That day you took that shovel to my chest Here, he is expressing how difficult it is to forgive the harm that others have done to us, but beginning to accept the Lord into his heart. The shovel represents the Lord's unending love for us all. >You represent a time and place that I wish to forget, dead. >Next time I see you, you're dead. He is expressing the pain of past events, and happiness that the One True God has saved his soul. He wants to forget and leave behind his sinful atheistic days. >Don't even bother to waste your time to make amends. >You don't deserve a place in my life ever again. Here, he is telling his former atheistic self that he has moved on. Satan no longer has a hold on him, and never will again. The Lamb of God has healed him. Rejoice! |

@[p3nguinpi3:24251] - What bullshit. Questioning who you are? What does that even mean? Basically what you're saying is that unless I believe stupid shit with no evidence such as the ridiculous notion that some magical being has a "plan" for me or that "my consciousness, man, is like 'out there', you know, dude?" then I'm not up to your lofty standards. This psychobabble is tiring. I do think about how to be a decent human being, but I'm done pretending that I'll find an answer to some supreme purpose for myself. People have been trying for millennia and still, the most substantial answers we have are absolutely empty and baseless. This is where lame-minded people who get butthurt about their stupid ideas being shit on respond to me in anger. --> |

When I look back, time seems to have raced by, and I don't recall many things very deeply. But I do recall knowing that time is precious and that I should be aware and not be a zombie as I go through life. I also recall that no douchebag artist knows a thing about me. |

@[flamebroiledchicken:17822] No offense, but you're wrong. I just listened to a high-quality copy of the song with my Sennheiser HD 600 headphones, at a volume that was disturbingly loud. I also slowed it down to 0.5 and 0.6 speed at times. He says "burn crosses," not "bore crosses." It's pretty easy to distinguish the "uh" sound from the "oh" sound (i.e. "burn" vs. "bore"). I wish you were right, because I could relate to the song more that way. But you're not. Also, with your mistaken interpretation, the phrase "chosen whites" makes no sense. Since he says "burn crosses," that phrase makes total sense. |
