| Pearl Jam – Red Mosquito Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
To me this is about all of the mistakes Pearl Jam made at the time. Asking Jack Irons to be the drummer, but declined. Hiring Dave Krusen who later left the band after "Ten". Hiring Matt Chamberlain who later left to join the SNL band. Never hire a drummer that has no potentials of staying with the band. Replacing Matt with Dave Abbruzzese, who was against the band's beliefs and bringing in a gun to the studio. Later fired for who knows what reason. Replacing him with Jack Irons who declined the role as drummer. Eddie should have known that Jack Irons has to be the center of attention at all time, and will leave a band re-join then leave again. Jeff Ament having a fit and wanting to leave the band. Stone Gossard's side projects. Mike McCready's drug addiction. And Eddie Vedder's attitude towards others which is why he has a bad reputation with others, especially the media and Nirvana. The red mosquito bites resemble bad mistakes, just like the what footsteps are about. Being too cocky and not thinking things through before you do them. |

| Tool – Prison Sex Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
It took so long to remember just what happened. I was so young and vestal then, you know it hurt me, but I'm breathing so I guess I'm still alive even if signs seem to tell me otherwise. I've got my hands bound, my head down, my eyes closed, and my throat wide open. if you go onto youtube and click on tool prison sex lyrics towards the end of the video, it puts a note that says "Many don't know that Maynard was abused when he was little". so, therefore this song is about his dad sodomising his son. as screweed up as it seems, the first verse has to do with how his dad must have tied Maynard's arms around his waist his wrists against his thighs (disallowing maynard to run and or grab something) his head was leveled facing towards the ground and he must have been blind folded so he can't see what is going on. then his dad put his penis in Maynard's mouth, and made him suck on it. very screwed up if you ask me. |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – A Song for a Son Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
the songs about how billy found a young talanted drummer that gave him hope that someday the smashing pumpkins can hit mainstream again. This is a song for a son This is a song for a sailor The best I ever had He sailed without map This is a song for a kid This is the song for a tailor Who stitched up my old heart Who stitched up my old heart Before I broke it all apart Billy felt disappointed that the Smashing Pumpkins (Billy, James, D'Arcy, and Jimmy couldn't all be together as one). This put Billy in a position to seek young unknown talents that want to rise and shine. After some drinks it's like you can fell what Bi;;y's saying. Freakin awesome song. |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – Thirty Three Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
i heard a rumor that the reason why 33 was the last single for mellon collie and the infinit sadness, was because the video was shot after jimmy chamberlin was kicked out of the band for the drug incident in the hotel room which also killed the keyboard player. james iha and d'arcy went through a terrible break up. some songs on siamese dream had to do with suicide; hummer, today, and mayonnaise. if billy was 27 when he wrote this song, and the tarot card reader said he will reach his peak at 33 (which would have been 2001). the smashing pumpkins were no longer a band at the time. it seems kind of strange that billy wouldn't reach his peak until the end of his career with the smashing pumpkins. zwan didn't go over that well, neither did billy corgan's solo album. the smashing pumpkins are struggling to get their popularity back. |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – Perfect Lyrics | 15 years ago |

the song is about when Courtney Love and Billy Corgan went out. This is way before Courtney met Kurt. just look at the first verse. he still has feelings for her, but she doesn't want to be with Billy. |
|
| Pearl Jam – Porch Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
the song could be about a break up due to the fact that the woman wanted to have an abortion, and the man didn't. there ain't gonna be a middle anymore could refer the fetus that the woman wants aborted. Hear my name, take a good look This could be the day Hold my hand, lie beside me I just need to say I could not take a-just one day I know when I would not ever touch you Hold you...feel you...ever hold...never again... Yeah (12x) could be when the man is called in to hold his lady's hand while she lyes beside him. the last part could be about the man never being able to hold his child since it got aborted and/or about how he will leave when the abortion is over. |

| Pearl Jam – 4/20/02 Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
forget godsmack. if it weren't for Alice In Chains, Godsmack would have never existed. Godsmack even said they got the name from the Alice In Chains song "God Smack" It pisses me off when a low life band rips off Alice In Chains. I agree with Sean Kinney, without Layne Alice In Chains isn't Alice In Chains. |

| Nirvana – Lounge Act Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I heard that before Kurt Cobain and Courtney love were married, Billy Corgan and Courtney Love dated. Maybe Kurt had feelings that Corgan and Love still had feelings for eachother. And I've got this friend, you see Who makes me feel and I Wanted more than I could steal I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield I'll go out of my way to prove I still I still smell her on you |

| The Mighty Mighty Bosstones – Don't Worry Desmond Dekker Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
the first verse could be about whey the bosstones went on hiatus, or about going thru a bad relationship and where they broke up. And I I can hear your laughter It stays with me after All this time And I I still got your records Clash and The Selecter And don�t worry Desmond Dekker's doing fine. this could be about the his ex's records and telling them that they're in good condition. But doors were shut The lines were cut The walls went up so quick The windows of opportunity were small Brides collide Divides were wide Sides we had to pick And oh yeah, I forgot to call this sounds like a good bye to his band members or ex. |

| The Flaming Lips – She Don't Use Jelly Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
If you eat lets say a handful of Vaseline you could die. The warmed jelly would coat your stomach with petroleum and block all the nutrients from being absorbed by your stomach. found this on yahoo answers...the vaseline and toast thing could be a suicidal attempt. the magazine part could be what he uses to blow his nose...doesn't have to be porn. i worked with people that rubbed their nose with their sleeves. the tangerines might be something the girl thinks might make her hair a darker orange. |

My brother, you love her But don't give up your instincts Hang onto you know what They'll be gone fast as you blink They're trained to seduce you Suck you dry quick as they can They tried to reduce you Now you're barely a man Hey you You're saying that she's all that you desire Liar Hey you You think you can throw water on this fire Liar head left korn to become a christian and for his family. maybe his family wanted him to leave because of his drug problems. jon is telling head you can't stop something that you started. don't let a woman get between you and what you love. |

| KoЯn – Freak on a Leash Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Sometimes I cannot take this place. Sometimes it's my life I can't taste. Sometimes I cannot feel my face. You'll never see me fall from grace sounds like someone with suicidal thoughts Feeling like a freak on a leash. (You wanna see the light) Feeling like I have no release. (So do I) How many times have I felt diseased? (You wanna see the light) Nothing in my life is free... is free could be the media following someone around no matter where they go i could be wrong, but it seems like this could have something to do with why kurt cobain killed himself. he didn't like the way his life was going so he killed himself |

| Green Day – Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
here's the lyrics for the original version that's on the brainstew/jaded single. Another turning point A fork stuck in the road Time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go So make the best of this test and don't ask why It's not a question But a lesson learned in time It's something unpredictable But in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life So take the photographs and stillframes in your mind Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial for what it's worth it was worth alll the while It's something unpredictable But in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life So make the best of this test and don't ask why It's not a question But a lesson learned in time It's something unpredictable But in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life this version is better, because you can here billie and his guitar better. |
|
| Green Day – Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The song was originally called good riddance; Billie sings time of your life so the title became good riddance (time of your life). It's obvious that the song's about someone that you can't stand and you want them out of your life. At my cousin's highschool graduation, the valedictorian played this song during his speech. He must be stupid, because he thinks it's about missing someone and hoping they had a fun time. If I ever have kids, they're not going to that school because it will make them dumber. |

| 311 – Little Brother Lyrics | 18 years ago |

on wikipedia, it says zack was born in 1978. he would've been 19 in 1997. wonder if this song was a demo or outtake from transistor? |
|
| 311 – Little Brother Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
i'm sure it's about zack, otherwise it wouldn't be called little brother. Those drugs that you choose Leave you left with the blues Trust me I‘ve been there To me it's old news Pending disaster You’re heading there faster It's tearing me up To know you get so plastered Because you’re caught up in the scene at the age of nineteen Maybe so was I at that age but I had a dream And those goddamn powder drugs They’ll fill you with doubt You’re just getting sucked on up in it And you have to break out in homebrew, nick sings about doing a lot of drugs when he was 19; seems like his brother's going down the sam path. |

the line: I say we fear no evolution stand up musical revolution. Follow me now when I say we can never stop in we never give. Cuz this is how we breathe and live. Some of them whine and some of them bitch. They cannot do it we never switch. We do it for ourselves and we do it for you. If you don't like it well I hope you do. is also at the end of damn on unity. |
|
| Pearl Jam – Yellow Ledbetter Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
yellow led better was a demo; was originally called improv. what doesn't make sense, is that dave krusen played drums on the demo, but on the jeremy single it says that dave abruzzese plays drums. he played drums after dave krusen left not at the same time. also, alone was on go (a vs single) but has dave krusen's name. it would make more sense if yellow ledbetter was on a vs single and alone was on a ten single. |

| Blink-182 – Stay Together for the Kids Lyrics | 18 years ago |

i know more people that are divorced than married; so the 50/50 ratio is not true. i know some one (he'll be 12 this yr) his parents argued a lot and got divorced. his mom and step dad argue a lot too...he tries to be the mediator but it makes things worse. i can relate to this part "So here's your holiday hope you enjoy it this time you gave it all away it was mine so when you're dead and gone will you remember this night twenty years now lost it's not right" my dad left my mom and I when I was 1; i'm 26 haven't seen him for about 20 yrs. hope he has a bad after life for what he put my mom, her side of the family, and me through. my step-mom was the nicest bitch ever. :). |

"Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner Sometimes I feel like my only friend Is the city I live in, the city of Angels Lonely as I am, together we cry" This sounds like it's about Hillel Slovak's death. "I don't ever want to feel like I did that day Take me to the place I love take me all the way I don't ever want to feel like I did that day Take me to the place I love take me all the way" Having flashbacks about Hillel dying from a heroine overdose. The chorus is so obvious that's its about shooting up heroine. |

| The Offspring – Feelings Lyrics | 18 years ago |

to me this song's about a person (not necessarily a girlfriend) that you can't stand. you hate the thought of them being alive "Feelings Feelings like I never liked you Feelings like I want to kill you Live in my heart Feelings Feelings like I wanna deck you Feelings like I've gotta get you Out of my life" this person did something that wasn't cool, and you regret that you met them. |

| The Mighty Mighty Bosstones – A Sad Silence Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
sounds like someone that died from a drug overdose or used a lot of drugs and killed themself. "Both his eyes would twitch The left one was always black His lips they never moved They stayed still with each attack His ears were always rngining In his head he'd hear a hum And all the kids on the corner Knew what it was from" could be wrong, but it could be about cobain. "Two years and extra days, a block away he'd head to hang Same corncer, neighborhood, his friends, the gang Two years and extra days, a bigger kid would black his eye No real reason, explanation and everyday no one knew why." nevermind was a popular album; after that kurt couldn't stand all the fame ..."Two years and extra days" around 3 yrs later kurt killed himself. "Then one day it happened, he tooks his daily crack His eyes rolled up, llike yesterday, he started falling back The kids that watch this everyday now watched him hit the ground And no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound Amd no one made a sound" kurt didnt do crack, but its addictive like heroine. |
|
| Blink-182 – Dammit Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
it's about going back and forth in a relationship, and screwing up and having to learn from your mistakes. "And it's happened once again I'll turn to a friend Someone that understands sees through the master plan But everybody's gone And I've been here for too long To face this on my own Well I guess this is growing up" that would suck to be somewhere and run into your ex with another guy. |

| Foo Fighters – February Stars Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
i bet its about cobain trying to hold on, but he can't because he feels like he's been misused. sad song, sometimes I feel like hitting stop because it reminds me too much of cobain's suicide. "hanging on here until im gone right where i belong just hanging on" this is about how dave feels about kurt wanting to kill himself; kurt's trying to hang on. "even though i watched you come and go how was i to know you'd still show". could be about kurt going to rehab; coming out. steeling the show could be about how kurt made grunge popular or when there was a debat who should be the headliner at mtv yr end bash; pearl jam or nirvana. "one day ill have enough to get more ill wait to hear your final call" kurt was a few days late showing up to the final recordings; dave and krist kept waiting for him to come. "hanging on hanging on here until im gone right where i belong just hanging on hanging on here until im gone right where i belong just hanging on even though passed the time alone soon we're so unknown it heals the soul" could be about the saying it's better to burn out than fade away.-neil young. "you'll ask if the walls are building higher we'll light the shadows of them all i'd stand but they're much too usefull and i fall" people are going to be devistated if kurt kills himself; he tries to make things stronger but things keep falling down. |
