Fall From Grace
False Messiah
Laid To Waste
Amidst Desire
Never Found
The Fuel That Feeds
The Fire Of Your Passion
Carbon Copy
Xeroxed Soul
Redundant Thought Assassin
Regurgitate
All You Hear
And Claim It As Your Own
Step On Those
From Which You Stole
On Your Path To The Throne
Sink Your Teeth In Decadence
Manipulate The Crown
Drink The Wine
And Toast Us All
For We Will Take You Down

    Anyhoo. Allow me to ellaborate even if it is months later. They're talking about all these shitty bands that rule the charts with their "half-assed kiddy pop almost metal but sorta hip hop anything to sell 4 million records" garbage music. We're talking your typical P.O.D., Disturbed, Korn, Limp Bizkit...you know. Mtv bullshit. Actually even though I have to be up for work in three hours I'll just break this down line by line....bear wif me here. FALL FROM GRACE---when they're gone...one hit wonders FALSE MESSIAH---claiming to be what they're not...top of the music world wielding some sort of clout LAID TO WASTE---left behind in the music world AMIDST DESIRE---the tendency towards abuse of drugs, alcohol, women, and those around them NEVER FOUND THE FUEL THAT FEEDS THE FIRE FOR YOU PASSION---never truly inspired towards music, rather in it for the money and power CARBON COPY XEROXED SOUL REDUNDANT THOUGHT ASSASSIN---ripping off other people ideas REGURGITATE ALL YOU HEAR AND CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN---ripping off other peoples music and laying claim to it STEP ON THOSE FROM WHICH YOU STOLE ON YOUR PATH TO THE THRONE---using those whose music they've emulated as a way to the top (TRL) SINK YOUR TEETH IN DECADENCE MANIPULATE THE CROWN---back the rock star lifestyle and then a reference to these bands claiming to be so superior DRINK THE WINE AND TOAST US ALL FOR WE WILL TAKE YOU DOWN---self explanatory

    I've seen MH a few times and I have all their cd's and I find that the two person lyrical writing makes the words incredibly complex and ambiguous...but this is just Jmann so it's not as difficult. Ok i have to be up at 5 so I can continue my subversive disentient tactics. Peace off

    Good song, it's about how everyone is just a xeroxed copy of everything around them, "regurgitate all you hear and claim it as your own"

    kinda obvious

    emodave, if you would take the time to listen to any of mushroomheads songs you might be able to tell they are originals. ive tryed but i cant place them as a wannabe for any other metal band, they have a lot of talent and are a great band. i would suggest you stick to your nsync for your "no-talent" comments

    emodave's comment is so beyond wrong that isnt even worth my time to try and point out how utterly ignorant of musical ability he must be to say that Mushroomhead have no talent.....its almost laughable at how he must have spent all night trying to come up with something clever to say, but thats all he could think up....actually its more sad than laughable.

    This song is about shitty bands like Metallica that I listened to in 6th grade....and how they make their way to the top as false kings. Read the words, man.

    if any of u would know the history of Mushroomhead the meaning of this song would be clear to u. this song is about how slipknot stole their ideas and took their fame. like the masks which shroom started wearing b4 slipknot and when universal i believe signed slipknot instead of shroom because shoom turned it down, they thought the were better kuz they got the deal first. also how mushroomhead will raise higher and mighter than slipknot will ever become.

    In my opinion, this song has to be one of the most aggressive-sounding songs out there today. It just sounds evil. Go try playing this song really loud in your car as you drive by large groups of people (like by a mall or university campus). Watch their reactions. They look at you like you're the spawn of satan or something! I've had people actually run away from my car as I was listening to this song! IT'S AWESOME! MUSHROOMHEAD ROCKS!!

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
