| Crystal Castles – Pap Smear Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I've been thinking about this song all day long because it brings back sweet memories of my annual exam, which always takes place right around christmastime. (I schedule it that way deliberately, as a festive present to myself.) I am IN LOVE with my gyno, which I know is wrong, but he is young, studly and very unashamed. We've gotten to know the ins and outs of each others lives quite intimately and I consider him a close personal friend. Even tho' a pap smear isn't the MOST pleasant sensation, I can honestly say that I enjoy it. It's kinda like John Cougar's song "Hurts So Good". The main reason I like it is because HE seems to enjoy it so much. My favorite part is at the end, after he is finished washing his hands, he always turns to me and says, " You were great. Evereything looks amazing. That was THEE best exam yet. Keep doing whatever you are doing". When I tell my friends what he says to me each year, they think I need to say something about it. They think it isn't okay. WELL WHY IN THE HELL WOULD I DO THAT? I just think he really knows how to handle me, because I always look forward to the next one.... |

| Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I just looked at the lyrics briefly and have very little time to hang out here today, but wanted to explain what the song means to me. It will be quite different than the other comments, I imagine. All that glitters is gold means that she believes that life is beautiful (complicated, but lovely) and people are basically good. She doesn't think that people would spend their time trying to harm her on purpose, so when she gets invited to "buy a stairway to heaven" of course she goes. This means spending her time (buying) getting to know (climbing the stairway) her friend (heaven). She knows she'll learn more (even if the stores are all closed) but sometimes it is difficult and confusing because words have more than one meaning. Besides that, everyone along the way is wearing masks except for her. So they all know which one she is, but most of the time she can't decipher who is who. There are songbirds singing to the lady and telling her that all of her thoughts are misgiven. That her love for her friend was wrong, stupid, even ridiculous. That makes people feel sad and entertain thoughts of leaving. The smoke in the trees is the deception in the air. She knows nothing is what it seems, yet she continues "buying the stairway to heaven" because she doesn't really care if they all make fun of her. She loves her friend. She continues on her journey. So now everyone is starting to wonder.... Really makes em wonder.... The piper can't lead anyone to reason because there is no reason/logic when it comes to love. So for those who are witnessing the woman struggling on her journey they might laugh a lot and think it is funny. Maybe they think she is a fool for loving someone who would try to screw with her in this way. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Well, she doesn't seem to mind much, because she keeps on keeping on. She keeps on loving her friend. So if there is a bustle in your hedgerow means that people are trying to mess with her. But no one should be alarmed because they are just trying to help the May Queen discover who her friend really is. Because he isn't exactly who she thought he was on earth before she started climbing the stairway to heaven. (But who is?) There are two paths we can always take in life, but instead of switching and going down a different path, just fix up the road you are currently on. Make your own life better than before. Even if her friend wanted her to join him and she wanted to join him, life on earth is not that simple. The pipers are calling her and "egging her on" the journey, because it is fun lots of the time. But trying to figure out what went wrong with their love is like trying to "catch the wind". It's blown on down the road. When she loved him on earth, before starting the journey to heaven (about 4 years), she loved him without knowing what he did for a living (maybe some kind of advertising). She loved him without knowing how much money he made or had in his bank account. She loved him without knowing whether or not he is gay. She loved him for him. She is not a gold digger. Or a homophobe. At the end, she STILL sees the good and beauty in life and in people. She is the kind of person who will always buy a stairway to heaven. She loves her friend and thinks of her journey with him as an honour. She would do it all over again. That is what this song means to me. |

I forgot to mention how much I love the title "Viva La Vida". I grew up in Mexico City, so the saying has very special meaning to me. I've always wondered why the song is about a french king and it has a spanish title. (I've ALSO always thought I was a bit of a slow learner.) I guess I need to go back and read all of the comments to figure this out. In terms of life, maybe the saying that brings the most peace and hope is "Que Sera, Sera". |

I want to help to turn the page on this song. I have read many of the comments and after giving it much thought, I truly believe the song is just about love. Love can be so complicated. It reminds me of a man I loved and the range of emotions/feelings I had for him and our relationship. I am going to write about it even though I am so totally, totally over it. I remember these things: You are so funny* You are a genius* You are so beautiful* I love being with you* I think I am obsessed with you* I've never loved someone so much* I hate your guts* Fuck me* I wish I could spend my life with you* I just want you to hold me* I am tired of using technology* I want to punch your face in* Let's run away together* Right Now!* Why don't you ever just GRAB me when you see me?* I'll be okay* I am SO over you* You fucking prick GET A LIFE* I'd go ANYWHERE with you* Where in the hell ARE you?* Let's go to Paris* You reign* You are the rain* You make me so happy* You are the whole package* Pull over and let's screw in your backseat* I miss you* You are such an asshole* You're my friend* I want to kill you* I feel small* I could curl up and die* I hate your family* What are you doin' to me?* You crack me up* I miss you so much* I've never felt so much pain* This is fun* Fuck me* I'm NOT a whore* I hate your wife* I'm scared of you* You are weird* You are brilliant* This is a process* You're my disease* I'm a winner* I need you here* I love your family* I have my memories* I need space* I can't let go of you* You are in my heart* You suck* Be my back door man* My one and only* No one has hurt me as much as you have* You are so beautiful* I want to die in your arms* Your friends are mean* Where ARE you?* Fuck me* I admire you* I want you* You are so god DAMN HOT!* I really like your friends* Off to therapy!* You're a jackass* I OWN you* I want to wake up next to you, spoonstyle* Your face is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen* I want to smash your skull* PLease fuck me* You frighten me* I love everything about you* I can't get you out of my head* You own me* I've kind of forgotten you* Rot in hell* Why am I on my computer?* What IS this place?* I need some wine* You're a reetard* The sun shines for you* I'm so much better off without you* My life is empty without you* Can't we just talk?* I want to drown with you* I need to think of us together somehow* Get away from me* I hope I never see you again* I'm DYING here without you* You make me smile* This is over* I'll be okay* This is not over* This will never be over* I am NOT okay* What's wrong with me?* I am so sad* Meeeoooww* I need to look into your eyes* This is HIGHlarious* Why are you DOING this to me?* Fuck me, please* Tear my heart out* I am a good girl!* You confuse me* Am I dead yet?* I've lost my mind* What have I ever done to you?* I feel so sad that I hurt you* You are so authentic* I'm bored* I'm the queen!* I just want to be together* Are you alright?* I just would like to make you happy* We both love music* You're a badass* Do I need medication?* I love your hair* You're perfect to me* I forgive you* I forgive your friends* I forgive your family* You're an emotional fucktard* I'll never be the same person I was before I met you* You are in my dreams* Why am I crying?* I am sick of this shit* I wish I could hug you* Where ARE you?* Eff me* You're a part of me* I hope you are happy* I just want you to be happy* We'll be normal when we see each other* It's all gooood* It'll be fine* Life will go on* I think of you often* I can't remove you from my brain* I'm okay* When I think of you, I smile* I won't forget you* Not a chance of forgetting* This is my life* You have meant so much to me* You have aged me* I will always love you* So to me, this song is about love. It reminds me of my friend and my love for him. |

This song makes me cry. It makes me think of my old friend and how much I loved him. And how not having him a part of my life is heart wrenching. I miss him. I love this song. |

| Wilco – Airline To Heaven Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
One of my favorite songs. Recently, I've been thinking it's about the catholic church and how fucked up it is. Like that one priest who raped the 200 deaf boys. I think he needed an airline to heaven. "Them's got ears, let them hear them's that don't get raped in the rear" I think it is really sad. The catholic church spent something like 540 or 740 million dollars to cover it up. Stop supporting the catholic church. This is just my opinion. The gay manifesto said the other money the church rakes in (aside from the $ to hide all of the scandals) just goes to those "fancy hats". I agree. Gotta love Tweedy. |

| Neil Young – I Believe In You Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I think you above me are wrong. This song is for my old friend... I promised 54 songs. Hi to you, my ex. I will ALWAYS believe in you. Whether you are mean, whether you are a jackass, whether you need to feel in power, whether you feel hatred for me, whether you throw me to the dogs, whether you are insane, whether you are gay, whether you confuse me, etc. No matter f-ing what, I believe in you. I will always forgive you for anything you had to put me through. Are you happy? I hope so because that's all I want for you. Grab life by the balls! Find peace and happiness - or at least as much as you can of both. That's what I want for you. You are never far from my thoughts. I believe in you, old pal. And I love this sad song. |

The more I listen to it, the more I think it is about a gay man who is trying to come out of the closet. "You were never on the team",,, "Same conclusion"...... "Hot air balloon with a rusty nail".... Maybe he fell in love with someone but realized that deeeep down he wasn't being true to his sexuality. I think this guy should come out and live life openly! Like Ricky Martin! I adore this band! And this song! |

Just awoke from the wiiillldest dream. We were in this hazy roman orgy situation and I was riding you. You were on your back. I look down and the bed is a wooden cross and you- arms outstretched- are nailed to it. Just as we are climaxing together, you magically release your arms and slip your hands around my throat and kill me. Best. Dream. Ever. Wow. This is a goood Friday. |

God damn I just LOOOVE Saul Williams. Something IS broken in the cycle.... Maybe the man is GAY? That would make sense. But I think he's had a rough go of coming to terms with it! I think he needed to drag an old friend along for the ride. And she is sooo nice that she took the trip with him. And she is fine with it. Now her advice would be: GO GAY or GO HOME. Not half-assing both. One or the other, brother. This song is an all-time favourite!!!! You GO, Robbie! I'm with you 100%! In real life! |

| Adverted? Could of? Don'tcha mean averted? And could have? Are you a self-proclaimed "wordman"? New and improved, of course. Spread your butt cheeks for a grandpa, pally. Toast to 10 years! Way to avoid Merle Haggard! Now just "come clean", as they say, and live a life out in the open! You'd all have SO much more fun! But instead you have to hide and feign "normalcy" and how sad is THAT life? I KNOW you like the gingerbread man, babe. And his name is Lewis. :-( Poor little faggot. | |

So, would you actually GIVE a rat's ass in the long term if you ALMOST got "pregnant" by a man who is gay with aids and has a circus family and BPD and a gay partner who is scum? I mean SERIOUSLY!!! I don't think you do! I think you feel like "THANK MY LUCKY STARS". I think the person who averted that tragedy is truly blessed. :-) God bless YOU tooo Purnelius. xoxo I love God |

| Placebo – Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush cover) Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I once knew a woman who thought it would be icky to swim in a country club pool filled with tiny urinating children. Well, YAH. I agree. But, you get out of the pool and baby piss on your bod and you go and shower it off. So.... What if this same woman's husband was gay? What if he stuck his you know what- you know where- and then right back at her? Do you call THAT a "dirty pussy"? (You used those words.....) Or as someone said above.... "skanky"? Y'all need to know that if you can dish it out- you need to be able to take it. I mean COME ON!!!! Get real. I just had feelings. Boring. But clean as a whistle! I ran up the hill, but THANK GOD not in real life!!!!!! |

| Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Just because you are HIV positive does not give you the right to call me Dirty Pussy. (I AM flattered though.) Maybe you are a gay-sociopath. Or maybe your head looks like a shrunken apple. Or maybe you are a bitchy grandpa. Who knows? BUT, simply because I once had some FEELINGS for someone does not a "dirty pussy" make. If I was into screwing men as a pastime I wouldn't have spent precious hours letting my ex-pal know that I cared about him. I'd probably be in some hotel with my legs wrapped around a hot dude. (Don't get excited.) And isn't each comment a weee different? The kicker is toast? This one was about the difference between business/personal shit. Comprehende? The kicker is gay and a Song Meanie, yes. And speaking of shit, as one friend put it: The man you loved has crap on his tallywacker. Eeeww. |

I read a comment yesterday by somebody named sparkymarky and I read it again today. It reminded me of HaveACigar's comment only he/she added some gory details. It made me think about big business and "the machine". (The machine is in quotes in case they don't show up. The management here should know there is some glitch when it comes to quotes. Try to fix it.) I understand that big business is about making a buck, but the majority of the time it isn't about screwing people over. There is a difference. Also, business is business YES, but sometimes (whether the big businessmen and women can admit it) it can actually be personal. Even if you fake like you are writing about a song, for instance. You might truly be speaking to someone who you once loved. So, are we all really talking about big business? Hhhmm. Well if you are behind the scenes at Song Meanies, I mean no offense, but operating a web site dedicated to some music lyrics isn't exactly what I would call a huge deal. (I don't mean to bruise your ego.) I actually know many people who run and have run pretty major companies. (I am sure you know some too. Maybe you wish they would hump your leg.) In fact, I had dinner a few nights ago with two of these types. One man runs a huge construction company (they build stadiums and stuff) and the other guy has a pretty big presence in the insurance industry. These men are not sitting around trying to come up with ways to screw people over. Quite the contrary. They sit on "big deal" boards, for sure. But they also spend lots of time doing cool things in their communities and working very hard for charitable organizations. They have worked hard to earn their money and they do thoughtful things with it. They are not out for themselves. They care about people who are less fortunate than they are and they are honestly interested in making a difference for the better. I SHIT YOU NOT. They are LEJIT, as they say. So there are sooo many amazingly cool people out there in the world doing incredibly interesting things that make the world a bit better. I think sometimes when people seem to have a hugely negative attitude it could be because they spend too much time with their computers. Depression is one of the consequences of this. (Pick up the latest copy of adbusters at your local whole organic foodish type store. They touch on this topic.) I recommend getting away from your computer for awhile if you are feeling down in a big way. Go to your home in Mexico, if you have one. Go to Sanibel Island. Soak in some rays. Hang with friends (don't tell them what you are really like though!) If you can't get away, I suggest reading books to kids. Or helping a granny with her groceries. Deliver meals on wheels. It will do wonders for your attitude. If you are reading this and you think you are the type of person who schemes/plots/conspires to intentionally (I spose that's redundant) hurt others then maybe you should take a look inside yourself. Is that the way you want to live? If so, that's fine. But if you are not into fucking people over then maybe you should adopt a new mantra. Dooo yooo know the word *mantra*? If you do not, MY NAME IS DR. RICK MARSHALL AND YOU ARE A LOSER, CHA-KA. The majority of us are out here in the real world, trying our best to live decent lives and trying our best not to fuck people up. So if I am the type of person who traded some precious hours of my life to give to a machine that 1. kills kittens or 2. sucks in ex-loved ones and tries to shred their heart to bits or 3. puts a dead bunny on my doorstep or 4. sends me baby formula and diapers when I say on some song that one can be "pregnant with hope"- well ya know what? I am glad I spent that time the way I did. I would never regret trying to let an old friend know how much he meant to me, even if all he wanted to do was hurt me. |

#9. Loving this song! Saw it on here yesterday. New to me. The only part I don't agree with is how "life is so cruel". I disagree. I think people can be cruel, but life is what you make it. The part about suffering for a person I never would have understood had I not met my old friend Scotty. I have never suffered for a person 'til him. I think he suffered a lot for me too. But NOBODY suffered more than his wife. She has put up with more than any woman should have to deal with because he is gay. How do come to terms with that? That is true suffering. And then if he decided after years of being gay (and putting her through hell) that he was in love with a woman! Well shit! That's brutal. So they needed to make me suffer more (than I did in real life) and that is fine. But my partner would never want anyone to suffer. Not even me. He felt shitty about the fact that I had honkin feelings for this man, but he didn't doubt that I still loved him. He just said WHATEVER. Do what you need to do to get over it. He said -you are the loser who fell in love with a gay sociopath. Figure it out. He didn't say "Let's GET EM!" And I have always gotten everything I have ever wanted in life. Always. Spoiled you say? Nah. Just been lucky and thankful, too. But I didn't "get" my old friend (the gay sociopath) and it was the truest suffering I've ever experienced. |

You above me must be gay. But I am so glad you wrote because it inspired me to write. I have promised to give 54 songs to an old pal in the next few weeks/months and I think this is #8. I used to think it was a love song (no, I am not gay) but the meaning has changed for me. Now when I hear it I get confused. I get it mixed up with "Pledge Allegiance to the Hag" by Eric Church and "Colonel Mustard" by Cryptic. I'll tell you why. I am sure y'all have heard similar stories in your lives. It started out as a love song for me cuz it reminded me of a guy who I adored in real life and he adored me. I left his life and his shriveled dwarf of a wife was so mad about the love that we shared that she said to him, "If you love me and I mean reaallyy love me you will team up with me and advertising mogul Patty and we will try to take this bitch DOWN. She hurt you and she made me feel inadequate and Patty's pissed so LET'S GO!" Oh and did I forget to mention that the guy I loved is gay? Yep. Gay. Well how do you think THAT made his wife feel? Do you think it made her feel sexy and attractive and loved? I'm guessing not so much. SO I totally GET why she needed to try to kick some ass. If you feel ugly inside- that is insecurity. She needed to do SOMETHING to feel more secure in her role as wife to a gay man (who has a gay partner), but who fell in love with a woman (me!). So yes. He proved his "love" to his wife (and the Colonel) by teaming up with her and Patty in their lovely plot to try and do some harm to the woman the main man was once in love with. Bravo! Even tho' it's all over with and it's all good now, I still think about it every now and again. I guess the yellow part means that you did things "behind the scenes". You are a closet homosexual. You are a sociopath. But I really DID love you-the main man in real life. Once upon a time. |

This song speaks to the closet redneck in me. I went hunting with my dad and some of his buddies when I was in 5th grade (my dad was no hunter). We were all on our stomachs in a duck blind at 5 am wearing camo and he decided it would be fun to give me some Red Man tobacco and after a few minutes I puked all over the place. He and his friends love to remind me of that. John Prine has a place in my heart. |

| Billy Bragg and Wilco – Remember the Mountain Bed Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song is incredibly sad and beautiful to me. It reminds me of the love I shared in actual life with an old friend. From the moment I met him, he had a profound effect on me. For years we shared a very real and powerful connection. Tragically, we had to let each other go and it sucked deeply. I think we were both trying to get on with our respective lives, but it was hard. Then I was called upon the "Remember The Mountain Bed". Of course I jumped at the chance cuz I would have done just about anything for this guy. For one year, I went through a process of reflecting on the past and trying to convey to him exactly HOW much he meant to me. I went there to try to prove to him that my love for him was definitely very real and extremely important to me, even though we could not be "together" in life. So maybe that's the "stomach moved beneath your shirt" part cuz not to be dramatic but for me- it was a MFing labor of love. I dealt with lots because (if nothing else) he was my friend. This song will always remind me of him and the love and pain I experienced. He was well worth it. |
