Nickel Creek – When You Come Back Down Lyrics 7 years ago
To me.. this songs is about someone who loves someone even though they are a drug addict, and its taken over their life so when they arent high they dont feel anything and stay unmotivated.
So they keep getting high on meth and acting childish and happy again and chasing whatever mini dreams they create that day, hugely procastinating and never accomplishing any of them but at least they feel happy again and they feel they are doing something with their life.
Its about being able to see past the fact they are just a drug user and mean well and see past their asshole moments and act like a kid most of the time. Yet you stick and stay and be there for them hoping one day they will quit and just let nature run its course and remove the poison from their blood fully, rather it takes a month or a year.
The times they feel u are burdening them and constantly checking/correcting them when youre around each other to the point where they might leave for a while and tell u they will be right back and dont come back for a long time and take on the cruel world on their own and u cant protect them, so then u start blowing their phone up and they arent responding and youre worried to death about them or if they said the wrong shit to the wrong person or did some dumb shit and got in trouble, etc.. Then they get home and everything is ok.. You arent mad, youre just happy their safe and u can protect them again.

Not saying I agree with this behavior but to each their own and the one who burdens themself by finding a purpose in their life by helping someone else find purpose in theirs is the true sad story.

In Flames – Cloud Connected Lyrics 7 years ago
Its about being egotistical and living with eyes wide shut..

Then if you will allow it.. You will analyze yourself vs everyone else and eventually out of nowhere comes a spiritual awakening and acquire understanding

DevilDriver – Clouds Over California Lyrics 10 years ago
@[ka:6488]-tet
How is it not Chaos, imagine reproduction stopped, no more babies born, that's Chaos.

I'm a saint in sinners eyes
(To be gay, is to sin according to religious views, but its probably the least of all sins according to their opinions)

Bloodshot and weary-eyed (Partying at the gay clubs all night,Cocaine is popular in the gay community and crack)

We took you in full of sin and pride
(Self explanatory, for the ones who do accept the gay community, they still abandon the ones who accept them because the majority will never accept it, and so if that's the way its gonna be think about it. Why Bother.)

Lost in this world, out on the edge
With death by our sides
(All the Homosexual suicides, afraid to come out, lost in the world, on the edge, if they come out, sometimes they cant come home)

It'll take you and break you away
(make u quit beliving in the bible/religion, because of the anti gay Christian morons)

It'll tear you apart
(listen to the song R.E.M. - Losing My Religion)

any other questions?

Led Zeppelin – Going to California Lyrics 10 years ago
Here is the meaning of the song, If you cant see or understand the perfect interpretation that I am about to reveal to you, then you know nothing about love, life, relationships, women, or dreams in general and are a new unexperienced soul and need to get out and live more.

"Spent my days with a woman unkind*
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going To California with an aching in my heart."

Hes making a new start, he used California because anyone who doesn't or has never been to California aside from Hawaii for those who have been to California usually because its more expensive and Its not exactly somewhere people can rive to and most musicians are trying to relate to the average middle class income fans because most people who are middle class are middle class for one because they aren't afraid to spend their money and live day to day. They buy Coca-Cola not Big K Cola and usually are up to date on new trends, the new Jordans, etc.. I shouldn't need to explain it any further.

Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you that they're all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey, wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to awake.

He finally made the trip,when he got there hoping this girl exists, then the sun was setting, hes worried he might have made the wrong choice because as he was sitting there, there was a storm in the air, which was the suns children aka lightning, the thunder shook the plane by hitting his face on the seat in front of him or on something, and gave him a nose bleed he wondered if it was a sign from the gods he shouldn't have left, and shoulda stayed home, because no matter where u go, the grass isn't always greener on the other side, but now uve killed your California

Seems that the if The Gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.

Hes finally in California, hes drowning in fear, that he wasn't man enough where he ran from to control his woman, what makes him think a woman will treat him any differently here, hes panicking, because this is his Safe Haven, his "California"
where everythings gonna be different, but theres grass, a sky, lightning, thunder, water, the sun, its all the same it seems, hes afraid he made the mistake of ruining his paradise, and realizing he was in paradise the whole time, now step up to the plate and play ball, how can a queen exist, if he doesn't know how to be a king. Hes realizing, he will never have a queen, she cant exist if he doesn't wear the crown, is he going to be able to take control of the situation, hes finally here, "California" but can he be the King he needs to be, otherwise, how can his queen exist.

To find a queen without a king,
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... la la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

She cant be born until he is born, he has to re-create himself, If he cant do it here, he thinks its not gonna happen, hes made it, California is supposed to be where your dreams come true, but hes realizing, dreams only come true if u make them come true.
Hes finally on his mountain of dreams "California" His Crossroads.. Hes realizing hes just gotta take what he wants, wear the pants this time, If he cant find a queen here, in "California" his "Mountain of Dreams"
Then its not gonna happen anywhere else, but as he felt hes drowning he realized
U are responsible for your own dreams, he asks for a line, hes not ready to
drown, hes gonna find his queen and make his dreams come true, Its Sink or Swim at this point. He realizes Life is what you make it.

Cake – The Distance Lyrics 15 years ago
This song is about not giving up, even when the race finishes hes still goin hard, metaphorically it is about a girl and not quitting and letting her go, the memories she wants to fade wont fade because he never quits, he never gives up even after the race/relationship is over and someone left with the cup/her, he still goes hard and wont give up on it/her.

This song summed up is about going after what u want and never giving up win or lose.

In Flames – Alias Lyrics 16 years ago
This song is about human nature, our inner spirit, and our existance to acknowledge each other. We all live with eyes wide shut.

Don't believe the mask
It adapts to any lie,
A perfect ten,
When reality caves in

We're always wearing a mask to hide our truths, we become the perfect 10 that we want to be. Eventually reality will cave in with a double meaning while realizing you're still a perfect 10.


Life's wrapped in a riddle,
Easier said than done,
Hate to play the victim,
Rather run and hide.

A person who is deceived or cheated, as by his or her own emotions or ignorance, or by the dishonesty of others, they speak in terms as how we hate to play the victim to life's riddle, its easier to run and hide(behind our mask) than to acknowledge that we are our in fact our own victim.


Don't tell me,
Tell my ghost,
Cause I blame him
For all I don't want to know

This chorus is about our inner spirit(ghost), our mask lets us be who we want to be, we act accordingly.


I found secrets about life's undertow
Let them take me far away
Crawl back in place,
It's easier to cope behind the curtain,
Wipe the worries away
No thought about the consequence

This verse is about acknowledging while understanding, to acknowledge this mask you wear and see your inner self/spirit/ghost, to understand why you wear it, to continue to wear it and crawl back into place, no thought about the consequence or how it affects those around you, these are the secrets about life's undertow.
