I agree with Drealoth's interpretation except that I think the prostitue is a foreinger or illegal immagrant, like a mail ordered wife or something, and they want to go home, away from their awful life. |

| Against Me! – Don't Lose Touch Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
I always thought this song was about how modern/mainstream rock songs ("Modern art") suck and have no message. Such as Stacy's Mom, that song was played everyday for weeks and it has no message at all. That song would be an example of "Constant entertainment for our restless minds. Constant stimulation for ever appetite. " Then Tom questions whether or not it's the songs that are the problem or the audience. In the end, he concludes that either way it's "fucking nausea".
2nd Interpretation
When he says "don't lose touch" he could specifically talking to all of the band's fans that feel that they have sold out. He is telling the fans that have been there from the beginning to not abandon the band becasue they are part of a bigger label. Actually, I believe the band could possibly be talking to those fans that say the band has sold out in the lines "You're coming off kind of contrived and pretentious. You're not saying anything we haven't heard before. You're caught up in an argument, oh you're so lost in modern art." Those saying that they sold out are acting conceited (Wah! Wah! The band is making money now. Wah!) Those fans are also saying something the band has probilbly heard before and they are caught in a argument of modern art (has the band sold out or not?) My oppinion, NO!!! Like the other guy said, if you were being promoted, would you not accept it? Fuck no. |

| Sleater-Kinney – Jumpers Lyrics

I believe this song is a story about someone who committed suicide by jumping off the Golden gate bridge, "The golden spine of engineering". The person killing them self is most likely a student because of the line “I will not go to school again”. The student was bored with their trivial life, “I sit in traffic jams for hours don’t push me, I am not OK” and wishes their life had more meaning. When she sings "I’m not a bird, I’m not a plane" she's saying, (1) She can't fly ;) and (2) She is no super hero, meaning she is human and is flawed like the rest of us. Two other lines in the song that lead me to believe that the character is committing suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate bridge are “my falling shape will draw a line between the blue of sea and sky” and “four seconds was the longest wait”. To me, “my falling shape will draw a line between the blue of sea and sky” is an obvious reference to someone jumping off a bridge seeing as how there is water under a bridge and the form of the body would in fact create a line between the sea and sky, unless, they did a belly flop. “Four seconds was the longest wait” would probably be a rough estimate of the time from when the person jumped off the bridge until they made contact with the water. Since this would lead to death, it would most likely seem like “the longest wait.” Whether or not this song is metaphor for something, I don’t know, could be. |

I got the lyrics off their site to be sure they were correct. Anyway, I think this song is about someone in their mid tweties who is very depressed and can't understand why he/she isn't enjoying themselves if it's suposesdly the best time of their life. They also feel like they are failing in the eyes of their parents. |

The part where he says "pass by walking and talking backwards" he definately says something before that but I can't make it out. Also, I'm not sure if he says lime or lying. Your help will be appreciated. Anyway, I think this song is about how you shouldn't let others keep you from living your dream and that just be yourself, no matter how different others think you are. |

This is an unrecorded interpol song. Hopefully they record it on their next cd because it is good live but probably great if it were recorded. Also, it is difficult to hear the lyrics live, so some of the above lyrics may be off a little. My interpretation of the song is that he got dumped or he dumped some girl when he was younger. When he says that their starting up the rain again, I think that means one of them is crying. Perhaps the tears are causing the mascara to run down the girls face. |

I think this about a nuclear war and everyone is in a bunker and the singer of the song is the "king" of the bunker. This is why he/she is allowed everything all of the time.
OR
There is a war going on and a soldier, the narrator/singer, is going crazy. He thinks the war is going to escalate into a nuclear war and the ice age is coming. To escape this world the soldier has created his/her own eutopia inside their mind where they are allowed everything all of the time.
This is just my 2 cents |

Actually, after rereading the lyrics, I think this song is talking about vodoo(sp?) dolls. I think the singer used to go out with someone but then got dumped. Now she is pushing in the pin into a vodoo doll to get back at him. Just my 2 cents. |

I think it's about the Salem witch trials. He talks about swinging nooses, the witches were hung during the Salem witch trials. He says, Adolescent naivete, the witches were condemed by children. He talks about baptism and the great rebirth. The Puritans condemed the "witches" so it goes together. He says, "Don't forget your name when your numbers called" meaning that you will someday be judged as well for your sins. Meaning the judges and children will pay for condeming the "witches". |

I think this song is about taking a chance with the one you love. Maybe sexually wise, such as a new position, if you know what I mean. Or it could be about the most obvious explanation, suicide. Two lovers "leap", probably off a building, to their deaths. |

| The Geraldine Fibbers – Lilybelle Lyrics

I think this song is about Carla giving advice to "Lilybelle". Carla is telling Lilly to stay away from the things she did. Such as drugs and using your body to get drugs. She says "You'll soil your cherry hands" meaning Lilybelle has not yet got herself into the same situations Carla did. When Carla sings, "Seven thousand holes to blow through" and "years of sucking hate" I think she is talking about sucking dicks for drugs. She wants Lilybelle to stay away from that because she "can never scrape the dirt off." |

First Fibbers song I ever heard. I heard it in a movie called Kill Me Later. I've loved them ever since.
"The house is old and it's falling down,
But it's falling slow so we're safe and sound, my love."
Sums up the song for me. Her relationship with her "baby" is falling apart, but slowly. |

| The Geraldine Fibbers – Blast Off Baby Lyrics

I think this song is either about commiting suicide or doing drugs. My bet is on suicide. "Blast off" = shoot yourself. Plus there is mention to a body bag. Actually, after rereading the lyrics, I think this song is about the different ways of commiting suicide. In the first stanza, she says "your socks are swining from the clothes line" which could mean the person hanged themselves. She also says "your eyes so big and black" which could be a result of suffication. Then in the third stanza she sings about lighting yourself on fire "I wanna see you on fire, come on fly fire-ball. " Then blast off could mean shoot yourself. |

Damn, I do see the masturbation angle. Don't know if it's true but props for pointing it out shinyshinypeachman. He says "you come crying" which could be interprted in a different way. He says "fake love" and "embracing me with two hands". Fake love love being masturbation and well we know what the two hands are for. He says the "smiling on the package" which could be a porn tape or magazine with porn stars on the cover smiling. He says,"It's the thought that moves you upwards" which could be him talking about getting an erection. "Lay some grease inside my hand" could mean using lotion to enhance the masturbation. Wow this masturbation angle is making alot od sense now. Though, it could be about a hand job aswell. |
