| Modest Mouse – Heart Cooks Brain Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
|
This is about having to make difficult decisions, and the argument you have between the impulse and fly-by feelings of your heart and the intelligence and rationality of your brain...but the heart almost always wins. When he says, "My brain's the burger and my heart's the coal," he's literally saying his heart cooked his brain. When he says, "My brain's the weak heart and my heart's the long stairs," it's another metaphor about the heart doing in the brain, weakening it, troubling it. |

| Elliott Smith – Angeles Lyrics

Oh my Jesus, why does everyone think every Elliott Smith song ever is about drugs? Really. God damn.
Anyways, I agree with MusicGuru and mon no jigoku when they say it's about not selling out, and turning down all those major record labels. It makes so much sense. Elliott was good at hiding song meanings, but it was only minor subtlety. |

This is a toughie...to me, it means to hold love down in the most sacred part of your heart as one of the most sacred things in life. |

| The Ataris – Life Makes No Sense Lyrics

This is way simple--the song means that, sure, life sucks, and sure, bad things will happen to you, but hey, it's no reason to kill yourself. You can find this out just by looking at the line, "The world is nothing but a lie, and everyone is going to die, but what can I say? Just help me make it through today!" |

This song's meaning is QUITE simple. It means, bad stuff happens, yeah, but we'll all just keep on living our lives...in other words, "We'll all float on okay." |
