Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Ow, she's a brick house
She's mighty-mighty, just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick house
That lady's stacked and that's a fact

She knows she's built and knows how to please
Sure enough to knock a strong man to his knees

Techno Ted

Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Saying a woman is a brick house is like saying she's large. She's got that ghetto booty. More cushion for the pushin, to paraphrase Spinal Tap.
Odes to the big girls have been around forever.
Ghetto booties were not "in" back in the day of this song. "Stacked" (large breasts) were, however :)

wow... i thought more people would like this. well, it's a great funk song, and besides saying this woman is a "brick house" (whatever that means), it has no meaning.
36-24-36 really isn't a ghetto booty or cushion-for-the-pushin' body at all, and since he does say that in this song that discredits that. I always thought that calling a woman a "brick house" means that she's well-built - like a brick house is. I've gotten quite sick of this song actually, but it's good if you haven't heard it too much.
Only if she's 5' 3".
Some days, I just like to put this song on repeat for hours on end ; but, I'm weird like that. A brick house... a nice, sturdy woman. Nice rack, somewhat flat stomach (not a twig, but not a wad of cafeteria casserole; you know, that lumpy... chunky... yellow and brown... thing... that got scooped on your plate? That stuff was nasty... ) and some nice, child-bearing hips. Mmm, now that's what I call a woman. Death to whorish twigs! Gimme a woman I CAN'T break in half over my knee in a fit of passion!!
Oh that's romantic. LOL...break her in half over your knee :) I'd say your passion is on the dangerous side :)
The song has a cool tune, but I always thought it was singing about obese women, due to a phrase in a book where a boy is told he will get no girls because he is built like a 'brick shit house'.
Like stoolhardy said, A brick house is a well-built house. So to call a woman a brick house means that she's well-built, y'know the 36-24-36 hourglass figure. Great Bassline! This guy on YouTube does a great job with the bassline. Just copy & paste this in the URL youtube.com/watch=
Man, you guys all must be YOUNG. We older folks know the meaning beind this song. A brick house means she's STACKED...she's got large...well....you know :) And she lets them all "hang out." (Both hang out would be more appropriate:). Her well-rounded body (which was acceptable years ago before boy-like-skinny became all the rage) was much appreciated by the men. It made them weak in the knees and she got what she wanted. GREAT song from my childhood days. Never knew what it meant until I was a little older and heard it explained on the radio.
The meaning of the song and the term "Brick House" is very simple. It is an old 1970s expression for someone, usually a woman, who is "very well built" as is made very clear in the lyrics, "...Well put together..." or "...The lady's stacked..." or "...36-24-36...." If you can find a woman with these measurements, which is very rare, you will instantly understand what "She's a brick house..." means.
It should go without saying that an actual brick house (a house with walls made with only bricks and mortar) is a very solid structure and is very desirable, if well built. So in the same way, finding a woman you would describe as a "brick house" or "well built" is also very desirable woman.
This expression should not be confused "built like a brick sh*t house," which usually describes a very large and muscular man, who you would not want to be matched against on an American Football field or in a fight.
These measurements are those of your average Victoria's Secret model- although I realize the slang may be confusing, referring to a larger woman... Unless you consider Heidi Klum a larger woman, this ain't it! Maybe this is just confusion on men's part, though. In my experience, no woman likes to admit she weighs more than 130 lbs, and if she's 5'6" or taller and you can't see her ribs through her shirt, she's likely more . This probably extends to measurements too- most women wouldn't hesitate to say they're a 34C, when most aren't
