| Atmosphere – Don't Ever Fucking Question That Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I'd always heard: Push shove to came without the glove instead of: bush shoved the cane without the glove (A play on words, instead of push came to shove, a phrase meaning one thing led to another, which is usually how sex happens, but rearranged to make it even more about sex, I love this fuckin guy) |

| Silversun Pickups – It's Nice to Know You Work Alone Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Katrina? Really? Stretch much? It's about a man who is in love with a woman who doesn't want a relationship or doesn't want a relationship anymore. "Redesigning a connection" She still wants to be friends. "A composition painted on my face With a smile drawn on, on" He's maintaining composure, but on the inside his heart is breaking. "With water marks on a pillowcase" He (or possibly she)'s crying him (or her)self to sleep. "Overriding the obsession" He's trying to tell himself it wasn't love, it was an obsession. "To take it all and be on my way" He's gathering all of his stuff that was at her place. "Dragging the lead along, along" He feels like he has to drag himself to do it. And finally the repeating sentence: "It's nice to know you work alone" The fact that he repeats it through the whole song is him trying to convince himself of that it's a good thing. |

| Queens of the Stone Age – First It Giveth Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Just listening to it for the past several years I thought it was about sex, for some reason, I'd never looked up the lyrics online until now, but yeah, after reading: "Loyal to Only you Up your sleeve" and shortly after that: "I would beg I would plead I would shake" DRUGS!!! (For those of you who don't get the 2+2 juxtaposition above, the first quote is talking about shooting heroin, "up your sleeve," since your arm is the most readily available vein and easiest to get to by yourself. The second is about the withdrawal symptoms, aside from being irritable without it, ["I would beg, I would plead"] it talks about the physical symptoms, like tremors. ["I would shake"]) |

| Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Not sure if this has been said yet, but since there are probably a few dozen of every comment on here, here goes my interpretation of it: I think the song's about someone who saw great potential in another person be it a peer or a student, and watched them make cowardly choices (most notably cold comfort for change and walk on part in the war vs. lead role in a cage) and now sees that they're not going to live up to what they could have become. | |
| The Strokes – You Only Live Once Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
If you've ever been married you know this... It's a marital spat, starts off really bad (29 different attributes//Only 7 that you like = when one is pointing out the other's flaws) then his voice calms down for the end of the "fight." |

| Seether – Breakdown Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| IMHO it seems almost the entire album is dedicated to what happened between Shaun and Amy, this song rocks hard though. | |
| Seether – Fake It Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I partially agree with rockerchic, in the second meaning, lyrics are wrong, but whatever, this is basically Shaun's response to Evanescence's "CAll Me When You're Sober," their three year relationship was ended on a very sour note, in his words: "It saddens me that our whole relationship was reduced to that. That, you know, almost three years we spent together comes down to 'Oh, woe is me, you don't care about me.' I'm disappointed that that's all that really mattered. I'm kind of irritated that our dirty laundry had to be aired, you know, all over the world. I wouldn't do that to somebody." |

| The Postal Service – Such Great Heights Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song reminds me of this girl who I was falling for, we were so alike, our sense of humor, we finished each other's sentences, even though neither of us were single, we became single at about the same time, and we shared one special night together and it was almost too much to bear, she went away for a while, so when I heard him say "I hope this song will guide you home," it almost made me break down. | |
| Transplants – Diamonds and Guns Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Ok, since you all seem to be bickering about the fact that the song was in a freaking commercial, I'll put down what the song means to me, it's about a life of crime, drug running, and conflict diamonds from Sierra Leone and the surounding area, and how it affects crime in America, and who really cares that it was in a commercial, I think it's a great song with an awesome beat! | |
