| Jamiroquai – Feel So Good Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I'm kind of going out on a limb here, but this song may very well be about masturbation. "I'm stranded on a spaceship hideaway And something makes me think I'm here to stay" This says he's all alone, basically. "I'm holding heaven in my hands It's automatic baby and it feels good" Holding heaven in your hands. Well, one's hands are usually the tools of the trade. And "It's automatic" is basically a process completed my itself, and it is a process completed for the person by the person. "I'm playing with a pleasure trafficker Arriving soon intergalactica" Playing with a 'pleasure trafficker". One's stuff certainly can be called one of those. "Arriving soon intergalactica" suggests he's about to reach his 'destination' his goal, his climax. Like I said, I might be going out on a limb here, but the more I look into it, the more I think this song is about masturbation, just in a very cosmic metaphor. |

| Smash Mouth – All Star Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
It's sort of a dorky popular song that was on the soundtrack for so many movies, but I still like the song now that it's been out of the main loop long enough to listen to without getting sick of it again. It seems like a simple song in meaning. It seems to me that it's just about how as you get older people keep telling you how rough the world can be and how people get more cynical and bitter about the world as they age. But as he says a couple times "Didn't make sense not to live for fun" And the line "Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb" he's saying how it doesn't make sense to focus on all the bad shit in the world and stop enjoying life. So don't let the world get you down, enjoy life no matter what. |

| Smash Mouth – Walkin' On The Sun Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think the song is about the bastardization of the good social trends we used to have. I'd like to buy the world a toke and teach them to sing in perfect harmony is a parody to the old musical coke commercial, but even as a corporate commercial back in the hippie days, it still was a message of peace, as were the ways of the pot smoking hippies. Toke isn't a word for weed, it's a word for taking a hit on a joint or in some cases bowl or bong. So it's sort of saying he'd like to get the world together and pass the old joint around and get them to peacefully coexist like the old days. The second verse goes on about the hippies and their movement through their generation, but by the time their kids get old enough, they become hippies, but only because of the retro fashion about it. The fashion is smashing the true meaning of it, because the message is lost on the people who act like hippies just because it's cool and trendy. They don't hold any of the same ideals as the real original hippies. As the third verse cuts in we see that even the drugs have been ruined. It used to be about pot and LSD that people would take to expand their minds and share peacefully with their fellow man. Now it's crack and meth, people taking them for the euphoric highs and the stuff is tearing people apart rather than bringing them together. The chorus and the beginning of it convey a message of how commercialized shit has become, so place your orders and wait in line to be a part of the trend. But if you shun the offer, you'll be rejected for your refusal to conform, and if you're not gonna fall in line, well you might as well be walking on the sun, all by yourself. |

| Metallica – Turn the Page (Bob Seger cover) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I hate this version, and the fact that when you look up the title "Turn The Page" this come up before Seger pisses me right the hell off. I can recall literally screaming at my radio when I heard this version come on a local rock station. James got to the line "On the road again" and added a bit of extra growl to his voice, and I screamed "FUCK YOU METALLICA" and hit the power button as hard as I could. This isn't a fucking metal song, so don't butcher it by being a one trick pony you metallica dickbags. |

| Clutch – Promoter (of Earthbound Causes) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
There's plenty of fun little plays on words here that are quite groovy. The song seems to be about medicating your troubles away. The reffrences to Ritalin and Prozac are the main things that brought me to this idea. This line: "Cooled down my temper, tried to remember What it was I wasn’t to lose And I probably could were it not for The beer and the broads and the broads and the booze." Seems to suggest that he's still trying to hold onto what he is, but has drank that bit away too. So it's not just medicating your problems away the way that is pushed on people via mental disorder correcting persciptions, but also the way that people try to drink and fuck their problems out of their heads. |

| Clutch – Profits of Doom Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I definitely agree with DreamTheater there. The title is a play on "Prophets of Doom", the people who go on about the reckoning coming soon. In this case, it's the "Profits" of Doom. The title in itself seems to suggest that it's about people who make money out of keeping people scared that the end is coming, and making them afraid to not find religon and be saved from the end. There's money to be made off the frightened masses, especially once you have them eating out of the palm of your hand. |

| Primus – The Return Of Sathington Willoughby Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This is kind of a mix of a bunch of very generic things said in speeches combined into one to show how ridiculous politicians really are. | |
| Primus – Sgt. Baker Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
It's prety much about the Army, boot camp, or drill sargents in general. Satiring the way they will tear you apart verbally and rebuild you in their own image. "I will rape your personality, pummel you with my own philosophy, strip you of your self integrity to make you all just a bit like me" Basically just destroying an individual and building a clone of every other army recruit. Making them all into mindless machines to the purpose of killing. Les is very political man, and his politics are quite obvious with Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains. |

| Seal – Crazy Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
It sounds to me like drugs. "Miracles will happen as we trip" and "If I was there when we first took the Pill" But it's not as simple as that. It's kind of about how every now and then, you just have to escape reality. And, like in the first verse, the others criticize his drug use which he uses to unlock a door to an alternate reality. But at the same time it's dangerous, and can even turn friends agaist eachother "One of them's got a gun, to shoot the other one. And yet together they were friends at school." But somtimes it seems like you just can't get through life unless you find some way to escape, to get away from the reality, to get a little crazy. |

| I think that this song is about how music can envoke any emotion at any level. | |
| Steve Burns – A Reason Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| It seems to me like he's searching for a reason, a perfect time to express his feelings for a freind that he wants to be more than friends with. | |
| Steve Burns – Mighty Little Man Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Actually, as opposed to what ThePlaygroundMiracle said, in an interview with Steve Burns, he said that he doesn't mind at all being "Steve, from Blues Clues", he even said he's proud of it. It's where he got his start, and he's not ashamed at all. Hell, the interview was done with him sitting in "The Thinking Chair" As for my idea of what the song is. I think that it's kind of saying that anyone can be strong, in their own way. Size and physical ability have nothing to do with it, everyone has inner strength, and you shouldn't let people tell you otherwise. |

| Soul Coughing – Sugar Free Jazz Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Kinda sounds like a song about trying to fake coolness to fit in. Normalize the signal and you're banging on freon paleolithic eon put the fake goatee on and it booms as cool as sugar free jazz "Normalizing" is like trying to fit in, and be "banging on the freon" or "be cool". "Put the fake goatee on" is like trying to fake the cooleness through appearence and other fake things. Sugar Free Jazz, is like saying it's a watered down substitute for the real thing, a lame imitation. The "Schools he bombs he bombs" I think is saying how this is how kids operate in school these days. |

| The White Stripes – We're Going to Be Friends Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| The song is so simple, and yet it stirs up the memories of past years in just about everyone. It's great the way it works out how almost anyone can reflect by it. | |
| Mission of Burma – That's When I Reach For My Revolver Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I don't know the band all that well, I first heard the Moby version of this song before going after the original, but Here's my idea on it. I think it's about having our perspectives on life constantly changed, constantly "Blown away" with the force of a friggin revolver, demolishing our perspective on life constantly. The first verse is saying how we start out with bright limitless dreams in our childhood blissfull ignorance, but as we get older, we learn the life is harder, harsher, and more intense than simply "Growing up to be an astronaut" The second verse kinda goes into how as we grow up, our parents teach us about life, and how it establishes our basis on life. The third verse seem to be something about how our life ambitions change, how we just want to leave the world with some great accomplishment, and leave a name for ourselves, for people to look back on and remember you for. The last verse seems to be about how people in the real world aren't always supportive like they work back in the comforting childhood days. Some people will tell you you're not going to amount to anything, and in a defiant kind of way it is follwed up by "That's when I reach for my revolver, that's when it all gets blown away" I think is kind of their way of saying "But, I don't have to take that crap" In kind of a changing of perspectives by his own will this time, rather than the harshness of the world around him for once. I don't think it's so down as to say "The world is a disapointment, and almost seems like it'd be easier to just kill yourself and get it over with" as much as the revolver and blowing away is figurative to the destruction of our perspectives on life. |
