| Billy Idol – Cradle Of Love Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
The famous Billy Idol song ``Cradle of Love'', also known by ``Rock The Cradle of Love'' is almost more famous for its video than for its lyrics. The 1990 smash hit off of the Charmed Life album was Idol's first and only #1 single, and is still considered legendary in the rock pantheon. However, it wasn't a song written about equal affections between two lovers. Instead, the song address something was quite novel in its day, but has since become mainstream. The song title came from the expression ``robbing the cradle'', an allusion to lovers of uneven ages dating each other. It was controversial and sexy in 1990, but now that cougars are a mainstream reality TV feature it seems much less scandalous. Nevertheless, the song addresses the challenges of such a relationship squarely, while still keeping the music sultry and hot. Though the male character seems to be resisting on one hand, on the other hand he is encouraging the much younger woman to continue to tease and taunt him. In the end, he decides that although the relationship will be difficult ``love comes a million ways'' and he will embrace the relationship for as long as he can. |

| ZZ Top – Cheap Sunglasses Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
As one of rock and roll's longest running band, ZZ Top has lived for years on their hit ``Cheap Sunglasses'' originally released in 1980. The band usually sings the song wearing their own signature black shades. However, quiz a fan and you will find that most have not paid much attention to the actually words of the song, preferring to soak in the rhythm of the piece. The song is loosely about the pursuit of a girl. She catches the eye of the singer, who followers her around, admiring every aspect of her. Though she might seem unattainable to some, he knows that he might stand a chance as a result of her cheap sunglasses, which imply that she is a regular, down home person, too. After all, girls come in 2 classes, the kind that are uptight and out of reach and those with the cheap sunglasses. However, the song opens with a much different tale of sunglasses. Hung over and worn out from a night of hard partying, the singer is forced to get some cheap sunglasses just to function. It's joyful in some ways, but also cautionary in that if you spend too much time out partying you won't be good for anything but wearing cheap sunglasses and following girls around! |

| Coldplay – Viva la Vida Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
i think this song is about plagiarism, about how coldplay stole the melody from Joe Satriani and had to settle out of court and pay him millions for getting caught. It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become Couldn't believe what Coldplay became......thiefs. |

| Green Day – Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
``Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)'' is the most frequently misunderstood of Green Day's songs. The track was written shortly after the release of Dookie in 1994, but didn't appear on an album until the band came out with their third major label release, Nimrod, in 1997. Though the song lends itself to many different interpretations, two explanations are the most prevalent. According to the first, the song was written for 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California, the club where the band got its start. After the mainstream success of Dookie, many of the band's original fans accused the group of selling out and turned their backs on Green Day. The band responded by writing this song in retaliation. Billie Joe Armstrong has also claimed that the song was written about an ex-girlfriend who moved to Equador. In interviews, he has explained that, during the experience, he tried to remain as level-headed and understanding as possible, but his best efforts quickly turned to bitterness. The song was given two titles to express these conflicting feelings. Oddly enough, despite the tune's acidic tone, ``Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)'' was the number one wedding song in 1997, the year it was released. |

| Britney Spears – If U Seek Amy Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
In the spring of 2009, Spears released ``If U Seek Amy'' - the third single from her ``Circus'' album -amid much controversy and public outcry. It was produced and co-written by Swedish songwriter Max Martin (``... Baby One More Time,'' ``Oops!... I Did It Again''). Love me hate me, say what you want about me But all of the boys and all of the girls are beggin' to If You Seek Amy The song, with its barely veiled sexual innuendo, somehow managed to sneak past radio watchdogs and into homes across the land, where children as young as four and five years old could be found innocently singing along to what was obviously - at least to the children's parents - an offensive, distasteful, and repugnant song. To calm the uproar, a new radio edit was released. With the drop of a `k,' the title changed to ``If U See Amy,'' which did appease some. There were, however, stations that continued to play the original version. So was Britney really singing about an act as old as mankind itself? The majority seem to think so. There is a possibility though, that she was just letting the world know that - love her or hate her - she knows they all want a piece of her. |

| Duran Duran – Hungry Like The Wolf Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
In 1982, British New Wave band Duran Duran released their fifth single, ``Hungry Like the Wolf,'' to the UK market, where it reached the top five on the UK Singles Chart. Though the band had initially failed to cross over to the US market, MTV put the video for the song into heavy rotation, which resulted in the song peaking at #3 on the Billboard Top 100 in March 1983. Subsequently, the video won the first Grammy Award in 1984 for Best Short Form Music Video. The song was written and recorded in one day by band members. The lyrics, they say, were inspired by the tale of ``Little Red Riding Hood.'' The laughter heard at the start of the song was recorded live by Nick Rhodes' girlfriend at the time, as were the screams played during the fade-out. Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found And I'm hungry like the wolf The song is rampant with its animalistic sexual undertones. It's the story of a man on the prowl for a woman, tracking her from the city to the forest until he captures her. At the end of the music video, however, the hunter gets scratched by the woman. Could he also be the prey? |

| Gnarls Barkley – Crazy Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
The chorus after the first verse contains the line, `Does that make me crazy,' which becomes, `I think you're crazy,' after the second verse and then, 'Maybe I'm crazy, maybe you're crazy, maybe we're crazy,' at the end of the track. A very clever way of pointing out that any one of us could be considered mad from someone else's point of view! |

| Hanson – MMMBop Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Hanson hit success out of nowhere in 1997 due largely to their song `Mmmbop'. To many it was seemingly a shallow pop song with lyrics and words that didn't exist, let alone make sense. Hanson however had a very clear theme in mind when they recorded this song and driving reasons for it. It talks of friendship and the good stead there is in maintaining them. `Mmmbop' actually means a short period of time (according to Hanson). For Hanson you can lose good friends in an `mmmbop' if you don't maintain the friendships. `So hold on to the ones who really care, In the end they'll be the only ones there' The song also talks of turning your back on the one or two close friends you will gain in this life, but not in a literal sense. Rather it is referring to the attitude of treating their friendship as if it is transient. `Mmmbop' has a message of caring for the ones you love in a practical and tangible way. Despite backlash to the sheer popularity of the song Hanson are still proud of their work and now perform eh song in a much lower tone (their pre-pubescent voices can no longer sing it how they used to) |

| Justin Timberlake – SexyBack Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Released on his 2006 album Future/Sex/Love/Sounds, ``SexyBack'' holds the record for most copies sold in a week by a singer ever. Justin Timberlake scored big with the number, which dominated 2006 and 2007 charts before become a permanent party anthem. And yet, despite all of the song's popularity, the lyrics are cryptic enough to be open to multiple interpretations. Some scoff at this, pointing out that the singer merely wished to indicate that he was bringing sexy back. Others ask ``From where?'' and point out the predatory nature of the piece. It was a definite departure from some of his earlier ballad work, but the singer / songwriter hasn't deeply elaborated. Instead, he prefers to let the work stand as it is, or parody himself with the lyrics. The video only enhanced the predatory notes in the lyrics. Shot as an action club movie, the chorus is transformed into a predatory club sex stalking of the female lead. Despite frequently asking ``you ready?'' it is clear that the singer has no intention of waiting for a polite response. Though some have protested the dominant implications of the lyrics, most fans are content with just rocking out and being mystified as to the true meaning of the piece. |

| Jordin Sparks – Battlefield Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Battlefield by Jordin Sparks tells the story of a relationship that can quickly go from good to bad. She is in love with him, but their differences always cause them to end up in an argument. The situation gets so bad and they are fighting so often that she refers to their love as a ``battlefield'' and tells him to go and ``get your armor''. Their dilemma is not an easy one because it is not as if she is hates him, it is just that their differences will get in the way of them loving each other. They do not want to end their relationship, but she is looking to put an end to the constant arguing they are experiencing. The biggest problem they are encountering in their relationship is that they are both stubborn and unwilling to swallow their pride and ``neither of us want to raise that flag''. But if they are unable to come to a compromise, they are going to lose their relationship. Their arguing gets to the point that they do not even remember what began a fight, and she claims that ``I never meant to start a war, you know I never want to hurt you''. If they can get over the fighting, they will be able to have a healthy relationship that they will both be happy in. |

| John Mayer – Say Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Say by John Mayer stresses the importance of saying what you need to say because you may lose the chance to do so. He finds it necessary to not waste the opportunity to express your feelings, and that keeping them in can cause you ``frustration'' and ``wasted honor''. Being able to speak your mind will enable you to have a clear conscience and not experience any regrets. He refers having the courage to speak up to ``walking like a one man army'', but if you are able to battle and beat the doubts in your mind, then you will end up better off in the long run. When you do not say how you are feeling, the details end up replaying over and over. Instead of ``living out the same old moment'', get the issues off of your chest in the first place. The lyrics explain that it is a better option to have too much to say than to never state what your feelings are. The song instructs you to open your heart up wide and ``say what you need to say'' regardless of nervousness, broken faith, or a person that is close to being gone. If you do not seize the opportunity, the chance may never come. |

| Blur – Song 2 Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
In the mid nineties `Britpop' was everything in parallel to Americas grunge scene. Musically they were polar opposites and they each had very little respect for each other. Graham, the bassist from blur, was secretly a grunge fan and would play this king of music in his headphones to avoid chastising from the band. Damon Albarn though approached Graham with a few grunge type songs for Graham to choose. The track he selected was `Song 2'its working title and official release name. Ironically the song charted very well in England, ironic for the fact it was meant to be a satirical stab at everything grunge. Seeming non-sensical lyrics and a clich‚d video to match apparently weren't noticed by the public at the time who rode it to chart success. `I got my head done, When I was young, It's not my problem' These lyrics demonstrate the incoherent nature of the whole song, jumping from subject to subject with no links. One of the main victims of `Song 2' was the Pixies who were the poster grunge band of the nineties. Now Damon Albarn says that it was a branching to more pure music and has never addressed the thoughts that it was in actual fact a mickey take, these have been confirmed by other members of the band though. |

| Beyoncé – Halo Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Talk about people interpreting songs all over the place: The lyrics to Halo by Beyonce explain how much of an impact a man has made on her life. She has been hurt by being in love before, and she has built up walls around her and made up rules for her to follow to prevent her from experiencing pain again. However, she met a person that quickly tore down the walls and let himself in, and she is realizing that she needed to protect herself from letting the wrong person in. The right person would not cause her such pain. This man is her ``saving grace'', and she is referring to him as her angel. She is able to feel his presence by his ``halo'', and she is hoping that he is not too good to be true. He has allowed her to break free from her own insecurities, and she now knows that their life will defy even gravity. He has given her a new chance at life, and she ``feels like I've been awakened'', and she is willing to take the risk of never shutting him out. The light from his ``halo'' follows her, and everywhere she is, she is surrounded by his embrace. |

| 3OH!3 – Don't Trust Me Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
WOW talk about everything else but the song meaning eh? Don't Trust Me is a song written by 3oh!3 that tells the story of a guy meeting a girl at a club and what he does to make her want to be with him. The first verse describes the girl's appearance and briefly goes into her life story. She is obsessed with the band playing at the club, and he is trying to make her jealous by focusing his attention on another girl that is there with her boyfriend. The chorus of the song depicts how much this girl wants to be with him, but that she should stay away from him because he cannot be trusted. He refers to himself as a ``ho'', explaining that he should not be counted on because he will lose interest in one girl quickly. He is the type of guy good for a one night stand, but not for a relationship. The song's second verse further explains the girl's obsession with the band, and goes into detail about how she tries to fit in with them and admires them from afar. The interlude tells the girl to ``do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips'', implying that he is looking for her to do less talking and give more action. |

| Kanye West – Heartless Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Jesus, pay attention folks I will explain to you what the song means: The lyrics to Heartless by Kanye West narrate the bitter ending of a relationship. She made mistakes, and so did he. However, she is willing to overlook her own decisions and hold him responsible for what he has done. She wants to make him pay, and is therefore looking to her friends and his old friends for support. They agreed to let things be, but they somehow still end up on the phone in the middle of the night arguing. He wants to be able to end their relationship on a good note, but she is being so ``heartless'' that he is losing the desire to fix things. He tells her that he does not want to be enemies, and to stop turning to her friends because they only know the bad stories and not the special love that they did share. He feels that he is being wronged, and while she thinks he is getting what he deserves, he is explaining that he is not going to stick around and be harassed by her and her friends. He will leave and be ``gone into the night'', and he is confident that in a few month's time, she will regret her actions because she is unable to find a better boyfriend than he was. |

| Nine Inch Nails – Head Like a Hole Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Trent Reznor is infamous for writing lyrics that can seemingly be applied to sex, drugs, money, religion, and greed all at once. The general message of ``Head Like A Hole'' is a refusal to be controlled by money. Trent is expressing a general disdain for the fact that money has become a God to many people in our society. The song is essentially someone giving a middle finger to those who have power and authority based on their money and selfish greed. Reznor loathes the fact that power and wealth are disproportioned in society. He hates that the wealthy rule all. He despises the fact that people live lavishly on the bruised backs of everyone they've walked over to get ahead in life. Trent is basically saying that he will never give up control, sacrifice his freedom, and be empty headed or easily persuaded by darkened selfish souls. Trent Reznor was raised with a strict religious upbringing and some people feel that this song is a statement against the influence, power and greed of the church and organized religion. Others consider the lyrics to be tinged with sexual innuendo, namely S&M, a recurring theme of NIN's music. Reznor reportedly had drug problems in the past and the lyrics could also easily be interpreted as a stance against the power and influence of addiction. These multiple interpretations are typical of Reznor's lyrical approach. |
|
| Martika – Toy Soldiers Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
While many think the song is about love and heartache, Martika has stated in interviews that the song was written about a friend's drug addiction. Martika basically puts herself in the friend's position and narrates a story about their battle with addiction. The beginning of the song explains the origin of the addiction. This part of the song can easily be misinterpreted as being about love as the lyrics are rather vague. Martika sings of extending an invitation without realizing how long they'd stay. This is a way of saying that most addiction starts innocently, voluntarily just for kicks or an ``experience'', until it inevitably spirals out of control and takes over. The repeated background choir vocal of ``Won't you come out and play with me'' is a way of capturing how the drug (in this case cocaine) calls itself out to the addict. This is the same sentiment of another line from the song that speaks of hearing temptation call. In many ways, the general theme of toy soldiers can represent a person's lack of control when it comes to addiction. Toy soldiers are controlled, powerless, and incapable of thinking for themselves. The same can be said for an addict. The lines of ``we all fall down like toy soldiers'' and ``the battle wages on for toy soldiers'' suggest that someone has clearly lost all semblance of control, have fallen, and must pick themselves back up and carry on. Martika later sings that ``if she doesn't stop, the next one's gonna be me'' which seems to be an acknowledgment from the addict's perspective that they've got a problem that can conceivably kill them or ruin life as they know it. In the music video, Martika's romantic interest is seen drowning in a pool, presumably a symbol for dying from a drug overdose. VH1's Pop Up Video revealed that the subject of ``Toy Soldiers'' did survive and ultimately overcame their addiction. |

| Michael Jackson – Dirty Diana Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
With decades of stardom and countless hit songs, Michael Jackson certainly had his fair share of fans. His Dirty Diana song from the album Bad, hit the charts and became yet another favorite among his fans, and while some of his songs had hidden meanings and questionable reasoning, his lyrics to Dirty Diana were relatively explicit and left little room for interpretation. Michael said in an interview that Diana was a groupie who appeared to be dedicated to Michael himself, but in reality was seducing a number of different band members. This song is about Michael coming to the reality that Diana was not the girl he had originally thought she was, and he was making it known that others should be aware of her ways. There is some speculation regarding whether or not this was a true story or just another lyrical wonder of the King of Pop. Due to his notoriety and reputation, it is unlikely that he would use the name of the actual person who did this, but more likely he used a well-known name that could be easily disguised. Some even go so far as to speculate that he was referring to Diana Ross or Princess Diana, but his lips remained sealed, though he hinted that the song was not in reference to the princess. |
|
| Cyndi Lauper – Time After Time Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
never scene so many pointless observations of a song, I will answer your questions about the lyrics in this song: The lyrics pretty much describe two people that can't keep the same pace within their relationship. Perhaps they have merely grown apart like so many couples do. One character is essentially miles ahead while the other struggles to keep up. A ``suitcase of memories'' represents one character somewhat reluctantly moving forward. An obvious love still exists between the two and is reaffirmed by the lines of ``If you're lost you can look and you will find me, if you fall, I will catch you I will be waiting.'' Lauper has admitted that quirky things going on in the recording studio inspired some of the lyrics. The lyric of ``the second hand unwinds'' was inspired because the producer had a backwards-winding watch. ``The drum beats out of time'' may also come from an occurrence in the studio. |
