| Eminem – Remember Me? Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
RBX is making reference to the song "High Powered" on The Chronic by Dr. Dre.
"Seven execution style murders, I have no remorse cuz I'm the fuckin murderer, haven't you ever heard of a killa? I drop bombs like Hiroshima." |

| Wumpscut – Wreath Of Barbs Lyrics
| 15 years ago

I checked out the Neuroticfish remix of this, and while I didn't like it as much as the original, its good. It doesn't sound like anything by Neuroticfish at all though.
All in all, this is the most subtle Wumpscut song. |

| Funker Vogt – Fantasies Lyrics

"I really thought she was eighteen but she only was eleven" -the most shocking FV lyric ever. Worse than the lyrics to Shaven. Worse than the line "give me a golden shower" from Final Thrill. I don't know how you'd mistake an 11 y/o for 18. |

| Marilyn Manson – Vodevil Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
Vodevil is supposed to by "Vaudeville" but his spelling I think is meant to emphasize the DEVIL part. And I guess that fits in with his whole Weimar Republic - burlesque - Cabaret - style.
The music in this song is awesome, but I think his lyric writing ability is slipping. |

| Einstürzende Neubauten – Der Tod ist ein Dandy Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
This song is about as INDUSTRIAL as you can get. I've been asked, Why would you listen to this? But, I don't know, it kinda sounds cool.
"Death is a Dandy on a Horse" - reference to the Apocalypse
And I think it's just "Hi" not "Hai". Hai is german for Shark. |

| Peter Gabriel – The Rhythm Of The Heat Lyrics

I remember about 10-12 years ago David Copperfield used this song as background music to one of his levitation tricks. He had this jungle-themed stage setup for the trick, and it fit so well with the music. Sounds like some crazy ass Mayan ritual or something. Love the tribal drumming. |

| VNV Nation – Carbon Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
I've always seen VNV Nation as being very spiritual, but not religious. They're not pushing any particular view, but they sing a lot about life after death, spirits, angels, eternity, etc.
This song has a more down to earth theme. It's about how man abuses the earth. "We kill everything.", "We cut the earth until it bleeds, rain ashes from the sky." And in typical VNV Nation fashion, it leaves you with a question, not an order. "What will be our legacy?"
VNV Nation's political messages in their songs are way subtler than most bands (think KMFDM or Rage Against the Machine), but I think that makes it hundreds of times more effective. When I hear this song I see trees falling, smoke pouring out of factories, polluted rivers, and dying animals. Instead of blaming the evil "system", like a Rage Against the Machine song would, VNV Nation lets us know that we are guilty, too. We HAVE deified ourselves; we only look out for #1 and to hell with the rest of the world. We as Western society are using up Earth's resources, relying on technology to save us. Someday our technology may not save us, and what will be left, only "monuments in darkness" to a culture that destroyed itself?
PS: I don't mean to hate on Rage Against the Machine, they're good. I just think they lack subtlety. |

| Feindflug – Roter Schnee Lyrics

"Every seven seconds a German soldier dies. Stalingrad: Mass grave."
Feindflug has some real thought-provoking lyrics, but I guess many people misread the imagery as Nazism. |

| KMFDM – Stray Bullet Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
The best part of this song, maybe one of the greatest KMFDM moments ever, is that sample in the middle of the song:
"Even if God REALLY existed, it would be necessary to ABOLISH HIM!!!"
Where on earth did they get that? It's so damn cool |

| KMFDM – Hau Ruck Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
Really? Everyone I know has been saying this is KMFDM's greatest ever. All I hear is good reviews.
But I think that besides this song and "Auf Wiederseh'n", this album isn't worth getting.
This song is one of their best in a while. |

Was this song written before or after that whole Heaven's Gate mass suicide? If it was before, KMFDM is remarkably prescient. And if it was after, they're still !@&#in' awesome. |
