| Gorillaz – Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
I think what the story is trying to show is how the average Americans (and I only say American because of the little town USA line, it can also hold true for most of the world) just goes about there lives thinking everything is ok, but they don't realize that very bad things are happening in the world. The Strangefolk, I believe, are the powerful minortity (government officials, corporations) that aim to become richer and more powerful at the expense of the rest of us. As Happyfolk, we don't always see what the elite are doing, but eventually things will blow up, either environmentally or through a revolution, and its going to destroy us all.
And by the way, Dennis Hopper was perfect for this song. |

Nuff Ced was McGreevey's name, hence Nuff Ced McGreevey. But it makes sense either way so who gives a damn, the Sox won! |

It's not about being afraid to fight after recieving education. It's about how people are taught to just accept things as they are and not try to make a change. |

| Something Corporate – Konstantine Lyrics
| 23 years ago

If I can quote Bad Religion's Brian Baker. "Something Corporate is one of the worst bands I've ever seen in my life. " If these guys would just stop crying they might be able to put together a song that actually means something. And in my humble opinion, if you want an emotional song on the same topic check out "Black" by Pearl Jam. |

A belief is not a religion. A religion is an organizes communal society based upon a system of beliefs (that's not out of a dictionary, it's straight from my head). A belief is simply a belief, for example, a person could believe in god but not be religious. |

First off I'm not religious, but people who don't believe in god don't have any evidence either, so basically this is an argument that no one can win. That is all I was trying to say. |

I saw Green Day sunday night and when they played this not only was their a trumpet player with a bee costume but a trombone player in a chicken suit. They are definitely the best live band i have ever seen. |

While I won't take sides in the god argument I'll just say this, even though no one has proven the existence of god, no one has been able to disprove it either. |

I agree with spliph, you guys have no idea what sell out means. Selling out is when you compromise yourself and go against your beliefs in order to make money. LP has yet to do that. |

What's great about music is it can mean anything to anyone. It doesn't matter what Ben Harper had in mind when he was writing it. If it's about drugs, fine if not who cares? Music is abut personal interpretation, it's what it means to you that matters. |

It's a metaphor for suburban life. He's saying that growing up in the suburbs can lead to a kind of identity crisis because basically when you live there you have no identity(according to him, that is). So it is kind of depressing. |
