| Sepultura – Lookaway (feat. Jonathan Davis, Mike Patton & DJ Lethal) Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| @[Muzzy:20278] Jonathan Davis has never had a good voice, and apparently you've never had good hearing. Seriously man, you should talk to a doctor about this. Even by metal vocalist standards his voice is terrible and has always been terrible..If you really think he sounds like he has a good voice here you need to visit an audiologist ASAP. There's a whole world of sound out there that you are missing. | |
| Kris Kristofferson – To Beat The Devil Lyrics | 17 years ago |

This part of the lyrics are wrong: "My thirsty wanted whiskey My hungry needed beans, But it’d been a month of paydays Since I’d earned the equal scene" It should read: "My thirsty wanted whiskey My hungry needed beans, But it’d been a month of paydays Since I’d heard that eagle scream" The screaming eagle is a poetic reference to the eagle on the back of a dollar bill, so it's a fancy way of saying that he's too poor to buy either. "Since I'd earned the equal scene" means absolutely nothing at all. |

| Depeche Mode – Clean Lyrics | 19 years ago |

I love how almost every comment on songmeanings makes every song look to be about drugs and/or a failed relationship. They may be the most cliched things in the world to write a song about, but that doesn't mean that every song is about them. It's a good thing that people like circusjuggler are around to offset some of the idiocy, because this song is clearly not about drugs or some girl/boy, despite the title. |

| Tool – Stinkfist Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It's about disapointment over the loss of a culture, how TV and mass stimulation have destroyed our sense of societal responsibility, and how he wants to bring it back around, hence the fisting. We as a culture have lost our integrity. He knows it's in there somewhere and he won't stop digging until it's right again. It's also one of a few Tool songs with an optimistic outlook, in a roundabout kinda way. | |
| A Perfect Circle – Gravity Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Personally, the addiction aspect never occurred to me. It's possible, and likely considering the rest of Thirteenth Step, but I've always viewed it as a post-suicidal reflection. The lyrics are vague enough to be interpreted into many reasons for the 'surrender'. This is the problem with Maynard's lyrics. He writes music that, while beautiful, are never meant to be taken any specific way. He's so damn pretentious and full of himself that you'll never get a straight answer from him anyway, and if you did he'd change his opinion a month later any way. When he's not doing this he's writing 8th grade poetry like Gravity while biting from a thousand different artists from the 60s that did a better job than he could ever hope to equal. Even Elliott Smith did it better. However, I do now believe that this is related to a drug addiction, if only for the line "Drive another nail down another/Needy hole " which completely ruins my image of the song. It's such a cliched, hackneyed theme with nowhere interesting to go in song form. It's too preachy. Too born-again. What bothers me most about it is that it is just so pedestrian. Not that I've ever expected depth out of A Perfect Circle, but at least songs like Judith are clever. |
