Wow you put way too much thought into that. I'm pretty sure someone from Capcom who was in-charge of advertising just happened to like the Sick Puppies and wanted to give them work so he was like "write us a badass song for the street fighter commercial. Make it about fighting or something." |

| DMX – X Gon' Give It To Ya Lyrics
| 14 years ago

This song is about how DMX is going to give it to you, and about how he's not waiting for you to get it on your own, because he's impatient.
But FIRST he's going to rock, and then he's going to roll, and then he's going to let it pop.
But once he's done doing those things he's definitely going to give it to you. You can tell because he says that over and over. |

Bret's instrumental stuff is great, but who is putting it up on this site? They release this stuff on Position Music to be used in movie trailers and games and stuff. |

| Blue Stahli – Anti You Lyrics
| 14 years ago

Originally I just assumed the song is about organized religion, or hardcore Christians to be specific. The "you" in "Anti You" is Christ. He's going to be the Anti-Christ because to him it means going against people who do the various bad things he lists in the verses...
But now I'm looking at it again and thinking that seems a little on-the-nose, I'm thinking he's using the Christian Majority metaphor for someone else, be it a group or specific person. |

| Blue Stahli – ULTRAnumb Lyrics

Wow, I was surprised to see people taking this song in a darker, much more specific way. I always saw it as pretty generalized. If anything I see it as more about mass media saturation and our becoming desensitized by the tons of sex and violence we constantly see through it. Whether you "say you love it" or "say you hate it" you're still utilizing and consuming the information and content that's being broadcast and distributed. "Reality's a plague, we're the medication." seems to be most commonly ignored or forgotten by-, and doesn't really fit with everyone interpreting this song as purely sexual. The "reality" mentioned can range from the mundane every day lives of people working boring jobs who watch TV or play video games or use the internet as an escape (the medication), or the lives of those who have to experience violence, poverty and abuse first-hand, viewing these aspects of real life through electronic media reduces the impact they have on those who don't really understand them and haven't experienced it for themselves. Does watching a movie about someone whose family is killed mean you understand what it's like to have yours killed? Does playing a violent video game make you a less violent person or help you forget about other problems? Does watching simulated rape in pornography make you consider rape could be anything other than absolutely horrible? We're constantly being fed all these concepts through the mass media to the point where rather than being a portal for us to educate ourselves and understand the world around us better, it has become a buffer between our minds and reality. Think about that story about the War of the Worlds radio play where people who tuned-in freaked out because they thought we were actually being invaded by aliens. Now imagine if you turned on the tv or internet now and saw things about the Chinese invading America, you'd probably just think "sweet, when's THIS movie coming out?"
THAT is ULTRAnumb. |

| Raffi – Down By The Bay Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
|
This song is about Raffi's childhood living with an abusive, insane, alcoholic meth-addict mother. She was so insane that she would constantly ask him meaningless questions that he couldn't answer, and when he wouldn't give an answer she would beat him. During these beatings Raffi developed disassociative schizophrenia and would imagine himself in his happy place, which was a bay where watermelons grew. The watermelons can also refer to when Raffi's mind finally snapped and he stabbed his mother in the chest. The watermelons referenced could be the "Queen of Hearts" hybrid seedless watermelon variety, another reference to the stabbing. |
