| Joe Purdy – Sad Clown Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| when i first heard this the ending was really emotional, i didn't really know what he was saying but it nearly got a tear out of me. God likes this song, i know he told me. i was playing music, and before this song came on, we were discussing what God might like to listen to in my mind, and then the thought came, this is the one he likes. | |
| Radiohead – Karma Police Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| karma police is the people who work for mental health service, as the comparison to the police, that thom yorke relates to, as he worked in a hospital, generally its about the institutes, which take forever to deal with people, and people end up losing patience, and for a minute, you lose yourself, and end up going round in a circle or a vicious cycle, and really you just lose yourself for a minute in comparison to the time it takes to get anywhere, especially out of there, that's what it means to me. Patience wears thin in places like that. | |

| Ian Brown – Shadow of a Saint Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
should be... i'll WASH away your tears and stay with you for years... and... I'll TAKE away you fears and stay with you... doesn't make sense the way he wrote it, why confuse taking with washing, obviously wrong, but yet he continues with it, fools me why. |

| Ian Brown – Illegal Attacks Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| this song is good, perfect harmony between song, songwriter and singer/s, must state though it wasn't the taliban of Afghanistan burning incense in texas, raoming around... it was the Bin Ladens. Bit lost on that verse, it puzzles me. | |
| Eminem – Go To Sleep Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Just like to share my experience with this track, i got a batch of songs on an iPod, some good shit, and a bag of skunk, whilst doing a stint in hospital. After a few joints, i lay in bed listening to the musac on this ipod, i got to about 2 am and i still was awake, then this track came on. Fk, it was a buzz, my eyes were open all the way thro the track while eminem was rapping go to sleep. It was weird cos i couldn't close my eyes and sleep, anyway it has to be one of those experiences. It was so synchronized, by my B, who had made sure i got stoned and that this track came on late, rather than early, that is my understanding of it, but it could just be coincidence, that I was lying awake till 2 am, and then this track come on, or maybe the best buzz i had in days. I replay it a lot and try and relive the moment when i first heard it properly. This has got to be one of the best produced tracks I’ve heard, I like tha background organ music, and also the gunshot at the end of the song. U gotta listen to it, when u’ve smoked some herb, a whole new experience. |

| Coldplay – Fix You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I listened to this song on some else’s iPod whilst in hospital due to a spinal injury, and it seemed to connect with me in that moment. I don't know if it is intended for a fan, or friend or loved one. I think the line which connected with me, was, "when you lose something you cannot replace", i think it is about losing something, like i lost movement in the legs due to this accident. The opening line is about hopelessness, when you try your best but don't succeed. In a way i understand, this to mean all the physio i tried my best at, but didn't succeed at. The following line, seems to sum up my opinion on things, "when you get what you want but not what you need", because in this age of technology and consumerism, u can potentially get what you want by a click of a button, but the things you require to do this like your limbs, your spinal cord, and spine and your brain, these are the things you need, but we take for granted. The line, when you so tired but can't sleep, i've been there, on hospital beds in HDU, where the constant noises make you feel so tired but you just can't sleep, as well as the injury itself which meant I couldn’t move for while, will left me paralysed from the waist down, though it is incomplete, n i hope to walk again. The whole album, i then went and got, and found it to connect, apart from the last song till kingdom come, where i was lost. Lines like "when something is broken and you try and fix it"- seem to add to my idea of the album, about some1 on a crash course to lose himself or a part of him, but i cannot know the reason why this album was written, though it seems to be written to me, in a way, that's how i feel. Square One, is about someone always writing to people, I doesn’t matter who you are, you just want somebody to listen to what you say and who is stuck in square one. To me it is some else’s understanding of my life, but if it is reality or just another version of what has happened and is written I don’t know. Talk is about, the person being a male, because it starts with, “o brother”, oh brother I can’t get through, I’ve trying hard to reach you, cos I don’t know what to do, oh brother I can’t believe its true, I’m so scared about the future and I don’t know what to do. I’m sure, and as certain as can be, that this is about me, not understanding, not liking the x and y album when it first came out, because I couldn’t make sense of any of it, and his voice stuck out like a sore, so I didn’t like it. But when in hospital, I went through someone‘s iPod, and found I could only listen to coldplay, that is when I really understood what it meant, or what it means to me. Are you lost or incomplete, well in a way in I am incomplete, I wiggle my toes and feet, but the rest my legs, well basically I can’t move them. |

| Lou Reed – Heroin Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This reminds me of my teens, smoking pot and dope, but I'm now in my mid-20s, ppl used to say i had been on heroin, and i always denied it and never believed that i had taken it. But there was once I might have smoked some, but never injected, yeah that verse about feeling like Jesus'son and that it makes me feel like a man, and that i'm gonna try for the kingdom, that part i kinda relate to, that was as a result of heroin for sure. Heroin scares me now tho. | |

| Ian Brown – Getting High Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It reminds me of the song by Oasis, Wonderwall, where they say, 'maybe ur gonna be the one that saves me'- this may be a reply to that, '(could have) saved u if I longed, but u didn't want a see me by, u were getting high'. I like the part when he says astound u if i wanted,, wudn't even have to try. | |
| Ian Brown – Dolphins Were Monkeys Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It is about an old myth, that dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land and went into the sea, it is kind of ironic, that evolution states that we drove from the sea, this song tho points to the reverse, where monkeys who didn;'t like the land, went back to the sea and are now dolphins. I personally don't think there is any truth to this old myth, and whether it was greek myth i am not sure. The rest of the song tho,is open to interpration, parts like,' I need the resistance held by ur astrological sign' has me confused, whose sign? what sign? | |
| The Stone Roses – Love Spreads Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I'm a muslim, this track n the Second Coming album, was a bit too much to take, with real wishful thinkin' like Jesus was a black woman, i see no logic in that or sense, the only thing it links me with is Sugar Spun sister, where the description of the girl, 'her hair soft drifted snow'- reminds of Paul's vision of Jesus on the road to Damascus. And therefore to say The Messiah is my sister, seems to be a link to Sugar spun Sister, but what its all about doesn't really hit home. I wanting to live a good innocent life, once finishing uni, i swore to follow the books and the example and continuance of way of life through the Prophets, but this song Love Spreads really filled me with anger, untill i wrote what i always believed deep down and felt at the time,I rememeber sayin there is no god but God/Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger. When writing those words, i felt a light descend on me, and wanted share that feeling with every1, but to many those words are empty, and just words, to me it was an enlightenment. As for wearing crucifix, isn't that medievel practice in order to shun evil spirit, and if Christianity isn't an evil spirit then i don't know what is. You may have read the Bible, and Bible is undoubtedly made up of God's people and their words and revelations from God, but for argumement i will refute it in place of the Quran or anything, as I am less holy. |

| Depeche Mode – Policy Of Truth Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Was this song written for a purpose, or is it something before its time it makes me paranoid, and talkin some1 through his dilemma and trying to say to this person, should've listened to advice instead saying things in the truth. Bla bla bla, i cudn't give a shit, it's only a song. | |
| Depeche Mode – World In My Eyes Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| never got this track, some1 played it to me, and he was well awe-strucked by it, but i couldn't figure it out, what it was that made him like it so much, just for that reason i kinda liked it for its mystery to me. | |

| Coldplay – A Rush of Blood to the Head Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Another interpretation of this song is the place cud be symbolized as a mental asylum, where some1 spent the best part of his/her life, and Martin's like, I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down. The first verse speaks of some1 else for whom the singer or the first person is reacting for. The verse ends ‘and do back the things it did to you in return’. I really don't think the album or this song is about love or love loss, but about the system and a person or people gettin caught up in nasty institutes which control their freedom and making them powerless. And he's gonna blame it all on a rush of blood to the head. in which it justifiable to say a person with a mental condition or physical condition should not be treated differently...there are many injustices and oppression that go unseen in the way the system operates concerning people with problem in the head. That is what this song meant to me, when i heard it, my view that it was speaking to someone who got caught up into world of its own, the mental health services, was strengthened when I got the time to listen to the whole album, (oh i had plenty of time on my hands) but that is what it meant to me. | |
| The Stone Roses – Made Of Stone Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i've heard a version of made of stone, (ultimate rarities), i don't know if it was actually the Roses who did it, but it's fuckin amazin'. IT starts, with long inhalin, with oooo, then exhalin, haaaa, then all the way thro, it has a thumpin bass, much better than the original. | |
| The Stone Roses – One Love Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| listen to the bass intro, amazin', listen to the bass near the end of the track, it reminds you of the lyrics, 'what goes up, must come down'- and the part which sounds like ruhoohoohoo, angelic again. | |
| The Stone Roses – Elephant Stone Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Another way of listenin to this track is to play it after, Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead, u'll see magic happen, not the long version, the shorter version, with the guitar intro rather than the drum intro. Genius arrangement. | |

| The Stone Roses – I Wanna Be Adored Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The songs all about being in a world full of pretensiosness (if that's the right word), and almost being like Christ, like sayin' i don't have to sell my soul, very religious and spiritual, then singing Adooooooore, angelic almost, I wanna be adored, u adore me. It is about suffering and looking for attention all ur life and then one day, the tears start to be shed and the simplist of answers is I wanna be adored, One of my french peers thought, he was singing, I wanna be a dog, anyway, when I played it to some else, he said it was about suffering. Jesus spirit lives in this track, the end of the album is amazing, with I am the Resurrection, that's when u know this is the greatest album of all time, from the destruction through heroin, through almost feeling like ur dead, u Spring into life, and feel new again. |

| Radiohead – Paranoid Android Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I'm a paranoid schizophrenic (all those drugs do affect the mind in the end), and one of the symptoms that i suffer from are dreams or nightmares with famous people in them, and one dream i had, was of Thom Yorke, who felt as though was in my room, standing near the open window, and he sang the part of Paranoid Android. "Rain down, rain down, come on rain down on me From a great height, from a great height, height Rain down, rain down, come on rain down on me From a great height, from a great height, height" It got so powerful, almost as powerful as the call to prayer in Islam, the skies darkened in my dream, and it started to rain, real heavy, thunder and lightening followed. Then I opened my eyes, and i looked towards my sky-light window and it was closed, and it wasn't raining. BTW I saw 2 pac in my dream the other day. |

| Natalie Imbruglia – Torn Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song has a lot of relevance to me, it is personal like someone knows me, yet I don’t know how. When she says the illusion never changed into something real, means a man reflection, which is an illusion of grandeur, of a holy light, of perfection, but when seen what is there in front of you, may not meet the perfection of the illusion. She talks of a man being brought back to life, it is almost like the resurrection of Christ, a connotation of Christ, this view is strengthened again when she’s says well you couldn’t be that man I adored this person is almost like Christ. The fortune tellers right, should have seen what was there and not some holy light. So basically when this man sees himself in the mirror, it is almost as though he is seeing Jesus, but when other look at him, he isn’t. She continues to say, ‘there are so many things that I can’t touch I’m torn’- so it shows the man’s true self is no more than an illusion which cannot be touched. Then in the chorus she says, the illusion never changed into something real, I’m wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn. The perfect sky is torn, could symbolize the coming of Christ, or his descent, but before this line, she again uses the word illusion, which never changed into something real. Sorry if I read into things too much but it feels as though someone knows me, it really is a true song, written about perfection and how this perfection was an illusion and unable to be grasped touched or felt or spoken to, caged in the mirror, which is me. |
