| Canned Heat – On The Road Again Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| Yeah, there songs were awesome, no doubt about it. Funny how people hear different words to the song. This webpage got it right with the lyrics - payroll. Things keep changing and that's the beauty of the blues - it's real and down to earth, basic emotions and life experiences...for some anyway. We as a nation, as a culture are so different than in those days, no matter what you and I might want to think. So much numbed and dumbed down lack of self awareness. Sorry is the word thrown out to others like a club gaslighting whoever/you. (it's in the dictionary). With denial and distance to feelings and life, blues doesn't have the appeal it did back then. Then it was about freedom and expression, harmony and acceptance. Just the opposite today - more like slave/serf mentality, superficially ego-driven. So just be glad you can even enjoy the music because other don't even have a flippin' clue. The music of those days isn't what people are about now day. | |
| Lucinda Williams – Can't Let Go Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| People are so frikkin lazy on the Internet...copy and paste, copy and paste....don't bother to proofread anything or go back to the original recording and check if the lyrics as transcribed are correct and heaven forbid you should use actual logic to see if the transcription makes any sense! OK, all of that preamble was just a precursor to inform all the people with tin ears out there that the expression used in this song is "PUTS me out" and not "PULL me out". Get it? Who has EVER said, of their man/woman "yeah, he totally pulled me out"? I mean, unless you were stuck in a hole or some kind of whirling vortex that they rescued you from! When would a person rejecting you ever be said to be pulling you out? If your answer was "Never" then you are way more intelligent than the apparently thousands of people who keep reproducing and sending around these WRONG lyrics to this song (which was also NOT written by Lucinda Williams, as if anyone cares...) If a human and not a robot is managing this site, then please, for the love of god would you just correct the lyrics? It goes like this:" He won't take me back when I come around / Says he's sorry then PUTS me out". The keen observer will notice that the expression to put someone out, meaning to kick em out o yer house/life/bed etc. occurs in many hundreds of blues, soul, rock, and jazz tunes. Meanwhile, the expression to pull someone out is limited to tales of people being rescued from holes and the occasional whirling vortex. Hmmmm. which do you think is more likely to have been worked into the lyrics of "Can't Let Go"? Gee whillikers, that's a real head-scratcher..... | |
| Vampire Weekend – I Stand Corrected Lyrics | 4 years ago |
|
He is standing up and proclaiming "I was wrong". One of the most powerful things an individual can do. We mustn't always project our love affairs and personal complexities onto poetry. These primarily serve to confuse and delude. Poetry is the base. It breaks down our language, conflicts, and entire experience to the most fundamental level. That is why it is beautiful. It is a baby which has just left the womb. It is the wise old man with that twinkle in his eye, which we cannot yet grasp. |

| @[tunguska56:30798] Such insightful analysis, and so very articulate. This song has resonated with me for years, and as I am struggling to address my own "demons," I am trying to go deeper into the song, to let it help me. Thank you for helping my process along. | |
| Devin Townsend – Things Beyond Things Lyrics | 5 years ago |

@[noonebeatsdylan:28524] Well, I know you posted this 8 years ago and will probably not read my answer, but I feel a strong need to post my interpretation. Most of the people are associating the verse "The lunatic is my head" to a lobotomy or how society changes you, but I see it in a totally different way. To me, when he says "The lunatic is in my head", he's saying that the 'lunatic', or the 'crazy person' that does not match with society is an essencial part of him. And when he says "he raise the blade" (a demonstration that the 'crazy person' takes control of him), "he makes the change" (the lunatic, when "summoned" [like in moments of crysis, when your average 'you' is not enabled to deal with the situation presented], changes the very essence of you), "he rearrenges me 'till i'm sane" (again, the 'lunatic' is an essencial part to the keeping of your mental health). "He locks the door and throw away the key" (the 'lunatic' takes control over your aware 'self'), "there's someone in my head, but it's not me" (again, the 'lunatic' is not a part of what you consider to be yourself, but it IS an essential part of you, and there's no use to trying to supress it). Again, that's just my interpretation, but I'm curious to see if anybody has thought of it that way. |

| Katatonia – Saw You Drown Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
This song, for me, it's about someone (poetic persona) that hurts (betraying, lying or something else) a loved one and IT, the loved person, even though has forgiven him (to poetic person) is getting far away, getting more bleak, is getting cold... It is "drowning". The person that relates that situation, figured out that and is bad as well. I've separated the song with, on my point of view, who speak what on lyrics: Poetic Persona: As through your shattered eyes It all came together And your heart cries Weeping through the weather Another way to change your mind Here, the PP see into shatted eyes of the loved one the sadness, and the everything what happened came together on his head... It'd be great if he could change the past to change the mind of its (loved one) Loved one: I'm weaker than they say To leave this all behind The only way to stay The loved one thought that could pass over this situation... To forget the all the pain caused... But it knows, now, that is weaker, as they friends said, for that; to leave everthing behind... the only way to keep on and stay by side of PP. PP: Don't you know I'm the end of what we'll be And right below us The last thing you'll see PP sees how happy the end of boths (PP and Loved one) would be if he hasn't done commited the mistake.... This thoughts pass over his head... And he knows that last thing that he’ll see - say his thoughts - it's the loved person more and more unhappy for to can’t erase his mistake.... In the water I saw you drown Down the water Saw you drown Here it’s metaphore! The PP sees that loved one drowning in its sadness…. And can’t do anything. In this pont, of my view (of course), the loved one has commited suicide. PP As through my shattered sight You're no longer here And my heart cries Sleeping through the light The loved one has gone (suicide, maybe)? The heart cries, he can’t sleep on night just when sun comes – but barely… What to do? Suicide thoughts on his head… Another way to change my mind Never is the day To leave this all behind The only way to stay There are another way to change his my from these dark thoughts? Now everthing is dark, the days don’t come anymore… The suicide it’s the only way to leave all this pain behind… The only way to stay by side of love one – together in death. |

| Silversun Pickups – Ragamuffin Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
It sounds like they're trying to say something about the state of music today. So many people are making statements, shouting at the top of their lungs, that they're getting muddled instead of being seen as profound, and all these kids are being taught to follow along with this message in repetition, rather than formulate their own thoughts and grow as humans. The line: "Covered your tracks, so how would you know This ragamuffin wants to follow you home?" makes me think of how the radio forces the stuff down your throat even when you make a conscious effort to avoid it. If that context is the theme of the song, everything else fits together perfectly. |
