| Amy Macdonald – Youth Of Today Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think this song, although catchy, is a little arrogant, shortsighted and hypocritical. First off, she sets up a straw man argument that amounts to a vague caricature of her opponents. She seems to imply that the people represented in lines such as this; "And you say, My children weren't the same, My children's children they're the ones to blame," are her prime political opponents, which is arguable and seems really to beat the rotting horse carcass that is youthful rebellion even when there are no more realistic oppressors to rebel against (save maybe gay rights opponents, but I don't think that's what Macdonald is alluding to). She also speaks as though she is dealing with someone whose views are essentially untrue or wrong, without addressing the same potential problems in her point of view; "And maybe if you had a true point of view I would listen to you, But its just your one sided opinions getting in my way," What makes her point of view any more valid or "true" other than by virtue of it being hers? Why should the opposition, who is, obviously, opposed to her views, regard her opinions? She is giving as little thought and attention to the opposition's point of view as they allegedly are to hers, so why should she expect any more from them? If she is upset over the stubbornness and intolerance of these alleged "older people" then why is she responding by being stubborn, arrogant and dismissive? This kind of mistake makes the song seem as if its intents are more masturbatory than argumentative or thought provoking. If Bill O'Reilly were ever to hear this song, he would laugh. If Karl Rove were ever to hear this song, he would laugh. Macdonald frames the situation egocentrically, which makes it hard to take seriously. She assumes that her opinions are the ONLY "right" or "correct" ones and in the end represents a potentially realistic conflict through the one-way mirror lenses of an arrogant, ignorant teenager. Having said that, I like this song. |

| The Birthday Massacre – Horror Show Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think that this song is about growing apart between friends, but the song always says "they" and "we" which means that both parties in the song aren't alone. Maybe ignorance, or narrowmindedness led to an argument, who can say? This song leaves a bit up to the immagination. | |

I love these guys, pretty straightforward lyrics, but a very poppy-cutesie beat. Kinda remind me of Freezepop and Figurine. |

| The Unicorns – The Unicorns: 2014 Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Well, since the song says "Tomorrow is 2014 when i'll be 32 and we'll be 13" I think we can say that the song is about 2001 and the enormous change in the U.S. since september 11th. Particularly that people are greedier and more headstrung. |

| Avenged Sevenfold – Bat Country Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is ALL bout the great Hunter S. Thompson. Bat Country has NOT meaning without him. | |
| Scarling – Band Aid Covers The Bullet Hole Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think that the point of view in the song is coming from soneone who the rest of society called "crazy" (maybe she's getting a lobotomy, who knows?) and how insane the rest of our culture is. How little girls gobble up lies like candy, about the hypocritical violence in today's world (the scarface quote in the context of all of these references to little children), and about how we are using even more artificial excuses to justify the problem ("The bandaid only covers the bullet hole") | |
| The Dandy Warhols – Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Yeah, this song is ALL ABOUT the singer from Brian Jonestown Massacre | |
| Ladytron – Destroy Everything You Touch Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I'm thinking that this song is about a relationship between our vocalist, and a friend (it's unclear if this is a romantic relationship or not). As was mentioned before, the person has a history of hurting their relationships with other people, and the vocalist seems to like the sort of "destruction" that that person wreaks ("Please destroy me this way"). But, the vocalist also seems to think that the person needs to slow down, and take a look at her and how she's been supporting them. So, she wants the abuse that this person is offering. Just my take on it ;) | |

| The Presets – Girl and the Sea Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I don't think its about her death. In fact, I think that in the ocean she's finding another life away from the one she already has, as corny as it may sound. The package could be anything, it doesn't matter, it's just a symbol for this man's care. Under the ocean, she's found this more primal, natural existence, and all the things from her life melt away, she becomes little more than the animals that come to watch her in the water. | |
