| alt-J – Handmade Lyrics | 11 years ago |

I definitely 100% am convinced that this song is about drugs, now don't get me wrong, I don't advertise or encourage drugs, indeed anything chem based, which is what this is about, should be handled with care and caution, you never know what you are getting. This is just my interpretation of the song which came about due to my positive experience, and also because I have suspicions that Alt-J definitely have a few songs that sometimes strongly and loosely can be related to recreational use of things ;~) I cant explain it exactly, as this song relates to my personal experience of taking some good E's, although I think what the writer is trying to say about taking, is injecting heroin, now I'm not accusing him of doing so in the past, but using this strong example of a drug that effects your total perception of the world for a certain amount of time, for the purpose of the song. Let me break it down for you guys: He says "Your sting red full stops my skin, dotted, scratch scratch, now I’m bleeding" , this if anything is a clear reference to shooting stuff up your veins, I mean I haven't done it before, but I can read between the lines He then mentions that "Legions upon legions of craftsmen handmade my feelings", I don't know about you guys but I'am not stupid enough to not know that most chemical drugs, E's for one, are made somewhere in a lab with raw chemicals, but if you get the good stuff, before its cut to give out on the streets, you can truly get a "craftsmen" quality of a time ;) hehe Next the woman's voice, shes like "sitting comfortably? then lets begin" This is talking about those few seconds before the drugs hit you, as your coming up, it is the most amazing feeling ever, and you feel at one with the world, and yourself, and you have such feelings of pure love in your heart, and you feel safe and content in the place you are, like there's "bears in the woods and their out to get me" but "i'm safe safe from harm if I stay in this chalet" and also the next part, "hold me tight and i'll sink in", it genuinely felt like I had a warm blanket covering me, so content I was "absorbed in your thinking" like being on good E's, amazing it felt listening to this song, "And you dont know" how amazing it felt being there in that feeling. Like I would be happy to take those again "for you" the "feelings" that the "craftsmen handmade" ;) Take it easy kids. |

| Slipknot – Gently (Iowa Version) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
TO me this song is about the life and reality of my life I escape from everyday. For me this escape comes mainly via my computer and music, apart from alcohol, weed and masturbation sometimes. For example I am listening to Gently right now and I love it! I love the songs that explain my life and its pain because there is no way I could explain them to someone in reality. |
