| I mean, the album is called Uplifter. Seriously. | |
| 311 – Hey You Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I always figured that this song was about "bud". I'm pretty sure that they purposely wrote the song knowing that it could be interpreted that way. It wouldn't be a strange topic for 311 to write about. | |
| Bomb the Music Industry! – (Shut) Up The Punx! Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This song is bombdiggity. | |
| Weezer – We Are All on Drugs Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| You won't understand this song unless you're on drugs. | |
| Streetlight Manifesto – That'll Be The Day Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| There are a lot of recurring themes in this album. Bullets, guns, suicide, soldiers, etc. A lot of people will hate me for this, but I'm pretty sure that this whole album is weed-induced. | |
| Big D and the Kids Table – (We All Have To) Burn Something Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This song is obviously about smoking. Any doubts are taken away by the lyric, "Life's just running around saying, 'Hi'". | |
| The Sound of Animals Fighting – I, the Swan Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Just a tad of info. Listed under the credits for Tiger and The Duke, "the Swan" was, Vanessa Chibba - public relations. I don't know if there is any relationship between the two. Just saying. |

| La Dispute – Damaged Goods Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"You had my hand in your hand You had my lip in your teeth You had my heart on your sleeve You had a chance to breathe But boy, you wouldn't let your fear recede So I moved on" That part of this song is bad ass. So is the breakdown, or whatever you'd call it. |

| Cage the Elephant – Ain't No Rest For The Wicked Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
To me, each verse represents something that could completely take control of you. The street he's walking on represents the course of his life. In the first verse, the narrator encounters sex/lust. When he says, "You're such a sweet young thing, why do you do this to yourself?," I think he overcomes his temptations in search of a deeper form of love, though not completely. I like to picture the person that the narrator encounters in the second verse as a drug dealer. I think that the whole verse vaguely talks about the risks and struggles associated with drugs and drug deals. I think it takes awhile for him to overcome his temptation for drugs, contrasting the 15 minutes that passed after his first encounter and the couple hours after his second encounter. In the third verse, the narrator finally gets off of the street and into his house, as his life is winding down. He encounters religion, as a lot of people do towards the end of their life. He witnesses the corrupt bullshit that can take place behind the scenes of a church. He ends the verse in understanding because he has confronted these different temptations and he understands how easy it can be to get lost on the street of wickedness, even when you're subscribed to a religion that is meant to be pure. These social issues exist as a result of our flawed capitalist system. Money fuels impurity and everybody is looking for their next thrill. I hope that kind of makes sense for some people. |
