| Kittie – Brackish Lyrics | 2 days ago |
|
According to a Songfacts interview: "It actually is a commentary on a friend of the band's, and the relationship that she was in at the time. We didn't necessarily think it was a good one, and a lot of those lyrics were representative of our feelings towards that situation." https://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/morgan-lander-of-kittie |

| Silverchair – Freak Lyrics | 7 months ago |

Dunno if this applies to the song, but here's an interesting statement that Daniel Johns gave in regards to the band themselves being freaks: Interviewer: Are you getting used to feeling like freaks? Daniel: We don't feel like total freaks. We just feel that its kind of similar to being in the freak show. It's just like people like treat you differently - think you're different but your not. People think you're a lot different than you are and that's also like freaks look different from the outside than they are on the inside really. And it's the same with being in a rock band, really. https://www.angelfire.com/super/rockthedj/dannyfreak.html |

| Nickelback – Not Leavin' Yet Lyrics | 7 months ago |
|
From a Rock N World interview with Chad Kroeger in 2000: RNW: I'm curious about one of your songs, "Not Leaving Yet." What was the inspiration behind that song? Chad: Um, when I heard from my mother that my grandma wasn't going to be with us too much longer, I was just like God, right away, I just felt really hollow. And I just went downstairs and probably in 15 minutes, that one just came right out. When you hear the lines, "Come lie next to me Jesus Christ . . ." RNW: That was the particular line that I was interested in, yeah. Chad: "Hands where a cross used to fit just right," that sort of refers to her on her death bed. And "In the hall the family's grieving, I'm the one who stays, I'm not leaving yet," that's sort of me staying by my grandmother's side and wanting to hold on to sort of like, the last of it. RNW: I've been there, so definitely, when I hear that song again, it will have a lot more special meaning for me there. Link: https://www.antimusic.com/reviews/16/Nickelback_TBT_Interview.shtml |

| With the album concept in mind, I'm guessing the kid got hit by the Blue Flame Ford described in the song, and that was what put him in a coma. | |

| Incubus – Megalomaniac Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| Interesting, except there is one significant problem with your theory. When this song was originally recorded (October 2003), the only thing Kanye released then was a single at the tail end of September. His debut album hadn’t even been released yet. Are you suggesting that Incubus was taking shots at a guy who just barely began to establish himself in mainstream hip hop? | |

@[deanerthebeaner:43927] Actually, it was her brother's passing that led to her revealing the song's meaning. |

@[halimah1031:43926] Good to know that the actual meaning has been cleared up now, but if you're going to ridicule everyone here for not searching up information on the song's meaning that was available at the time, then the least you could do is back it up by using a source predating most of the comments on here. |

@[deanerthebeaner:43923] The actual meaning behind this song has been confirmed by Dale herself, and ironically enough, it's not about birth, but about death, and it was inspired by her brother's passing. Another poster revealed this in a comment here. |

| Good Charlotte – Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| The fact that this song (and the album which it was featured in) ended up being what brought them to the musical spotlight in the first place makes the song's idea and message very ironic, perhaps even hypocritical if selling out was the band's intention the entire time. | |

@[Joshdiablo666:42757] I’ve seen one person over at SongFacts who suggested that this song was directed to the man who many people refer to as the “King of Pop”. |

| Whoever posted these lyrics here was clearly confused. The lyrics posted here was from Miracle Drug, a song they released almost a full decade earlier. | |

That last line must've been the real tripper for most people trying to decipher the meaning of this song. The way it's phrased sounds as if the man is going to have a one-sided relationship to his benefit. Now that it's already established that this song is just a lighthearted song about a man who wants to start a relationship with a friend of his, the last line can be best interpreted as "No, I'm never gonna set you free [as long as you still love me]" |
