| Dave Matthews Band – Two Step Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I always took this song to mean that two lovers were experiencing the last days, of a cataclysmic event such as the Great Flood or something similar. The reference to Noah's ark (climb on two by two /to be sure these days continue). I think that the lovers want to spend their last days together knowing that life is short, but sweet for certain, so they might as well celebrate while they can. It's a romantic song because they both realize that the things we cannot change (dying) is going to happen to us all regardless so we might as well enjoy life. This is one of my all time favorite DMB songs, because Boyd's intro is AWESOME! | |
| The Cranberries – God Be With You Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I agree with RausRaus, this song is awesome. I saw the clip of that on Youtube and it's really good. You should also check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a33WyiE1c0k | |
| The Cranberries – Ode To My Family Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think this song is about the singer being molested as a child, possibly by her father. She's wondering if anyone cared. She basically says it in the lyrics. "Understand what I've become, it wasn't my design" sounds as if she is saying understand who she is, and how she became so jaded. She;s taking a bitter life, and trying to get over it. She sings "To see life as fun and take it if we can..." maybe her family hardened her to be tough, and to overcome tragedy and despair. | |
| Jason Mraz – Geek In The Pink Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| At first listen, I thought that this song was about interracial relationships. A minority cool girl, and a geeky white guy. o.O | |
| OutKast – Elevators (Me and You) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I love this song. Being from Atlanta, specifically the neighborhood where Outkast is form I rememebering, and -still- ride the Marta bus all trhough headland and delowe. That's why I love Outkast because they are relatable and this song is relatable to my life. I like that they are down to earth and we are from the same hood. | |
| Lauryn Hill – Superstar Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I really like this song. This is pretty much about staying true to yoru music, and not becoming a sell out in the music business. Some call it a "soft" song but I like it anyway. It fits the album pretty well.. | |
| Lauryn Hill – Forgive Them Father Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think the Soweto line is a comment about aparthied. She is saying that we (black people) should fight for our rights, instead of settling and being mistreated. As for the song itself, I think that it is about forgiving those that use you for their own gain. It's about recognizing and not falling intot he trap those that clainm to be friends but actually are simply manipulating you for higher status. |
|
| Lauryn Hill – Final Hour Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is one of my favorite songs. Lauryn's MC skills are in full bloom here. I think this is about staying focused, and remembering that God has a plan for you. She's saying even with money and power, in the final hour you have to be made aware of your sins. | |
| John Mayer – Why Georgia Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| As lifeBeforeinsanity posted her/his? summation is correct. The song is about John questioning if he made the right decision coming to Atlanta. Driving down 85 does feel like it will last all afternoon, because we have the worst traffic in A-town. He is taking a chance on his musical career, and he wonders if he should stay or go. | |
| John Mayer – Only Heart Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I love this song! This and Split Screen Sadness, and New Deep are the best songs on the LP. Anyway, I think that this song is about trying to convince someone that they are the only one for you. This person has abandonment issues. ("If you let me leave, I swear I never will..) | |
| John Mayer – Split Screen Sadness Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I love thsi song... My favorite line is: All you need is love is a lie, because we had love but we still said goodbye. As for the meaning, this song is about how two people that have broken up. The split screen sadness, is showing two sides, (a split screen) of how the former couple has moved on. The man wishes that they were still together, and he wishes that the woman would have asked him to stay because he didn't want to leave. When he says don't let me get away, because I can't wait to find out what's wrong with me, so I can say that this is the way I used to be. I think he's saying that he's a different person from when they were first together. This song is beautifully melancholy, and I love the way it makes me feel when I hear it. |
|
| Brandy – Afrodisiac Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| An aphrodisiac is something used for sex appeal. To attract the opposite sex, and I think she makes her point clear whens he says that he's her Afrodisiac, (a black version of what her male aphrodisiac would be..) she also says that she is a prisoner of his sex appeal. The meaning to this song is obvious. | |
| Destiny's Child – Through with Love Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I agree suepurticious. The song has a pretty good beat, and the lyrics aren't half bad, but the end with finding love in God, came out of left field. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Two Step Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is one of my all time favorite songs. I love the lines "How our flesh and blood ties you and me right up, tie me down..." or "You quench my heart and love you quench my mind." | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Raven Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song dispenses wisdom left and right. I believe the first verse is in reference to Jesus Christ and God. What you got, what you got in your hand? A father said to son I got the whole world here, Daddy, Between my fingers and my thumb Well, you take care of it, please It's the only one Well, it would take me a lifetime, old man, To undo what you've done This represents Jesus having the world at his fingertips to take care of all the sinners in the world. He realizes what he must do, and he knows that he must serve his purpose and be mankind's redemption. "The ground beneath is nothing more than my point of view." God could be telling his son that the world he envisioned is nothing more than his point of view. His ideals of what humanity should be. I think this song is about Jesus telling his son to repair the damage that humanity has caused itself. The lines with the boy walking away could mean when Jesus first learns of his destiny and wishes to shy away from that responsibility. The bible does skip pretty much all of Jesus' developing years, and this song could be referencing the time it takes for Jesus to come to grips with his responsiblities. |
|
| Dave Matthews Band – Christmas Song Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I believe that this song is about Jesus Christ, and his life. Dave's fascination with religion is interesting and shows well in all of his music. I personally liked "Raven" which I believe was about God, and Jesus. Also, "Bartender" seemed to be an obvious reference as well. | |
| Weird Al Yankovic – The Saga Begins Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| An ode to Star Wars obviously. | |
| Barenaked Ladies – Thanks That Was Fun Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| One of the best break up songs ever. The lyrics are great, and the melody is hot! This is about continously going back for more pain, when you have clearly been dumped. The best line IMHO is "I hate it when you call, which isn't all.. I've spoken, though broken--here's a token of my love!" | |
| Barenaked Ladies – Hello City Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| "You've found an enemy in me..." I love those lines! | |
| Barenaked Ladies – Straw Hat And Old Dirty Hank Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think this song is about a stalker, who believes he has an imaginary relationship with the celebrity. Eventually, he plans on killing her. | |
| Sister Hazel – Your Winter Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is so painful to me. Everything about it is regretful and saddening. The song is about not wanting to be someone else's excuse to feel sorry for yourself. It is saying that we can still forgive each other and get back together. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Dancing Nancies Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is my all time favorite song. This song is just the epitome of greatness in a song. I believe that this is about reflecting on what you could have done with your life, had you taken a different path. He reminds us that there is no use in worrying about any of this. He wonders who he is, what he is, and he wants to know if he could have been someone other than himself. My favorite line is: "Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes, but I'll work it out..." Boyd kicks ass on the violin solo towards the end. This is the very best song music wise that the band has. Those drums, then the bass and of course that horn! I love it! | |
| Cowboy Bebop – The Real Folk Blues Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I love this song, the beat.. everything! My favorite line is: The real folk blues I only want to know what true sadness is... | |
| P.O.D. – Youth Of The Nation Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is the only decent song by this sucky ass band. I like it alright, but everything else stinks because they are too preachy. | |
| Minnie Riperton – Lovin' You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The song pretty much says it all. Did you know that Minnie is the mother of Maya Rudolph of SNL fame? In fact, this song was originally a lullaby to Maya. You can hear her say her name on the song in the background. | |
| Aaliyah – The One I Gave My Heart To Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is a beautifully sad song. I think the meaning of this song is obvious. | |
| OutKast – Take Off Your Cool (feat. Norah Jones) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think this about not showing that facade of your true self. Take off your cool, and show who you really are. | |
| OutKast – Dracula's Wedding (feat. Kelis) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is about afraid of beginning a new relationship. It's about finding someone who scares you because they may just be what you have been looking for. You never had to be afraid of being a relationships before because there was no one that made you feel vulnerable like this person does. | |
| Khia – Lick My Neck, My Back Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is one of the dumbest fuckin song ever. This misrepresents women, and men. Specifically black men and women. This siter is doing nothing but furthering the stereotype. Ugh, this shit is a one hit wonder, and it sucks. | |
| No Doubt – Happy Now? Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| peaceblossom got in one. He shouldn't have fucked up. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Pig Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
My favorite lines pretty much sum up the song in my opinion. "Don't be your head, dry your eyes--just let the love in there, There are bad times, but that's okay Just look for love in it..." I think this song is about Dave reflecting on death, or rather how life would be if he and everyone he cared about were gone. He reminds us no to focus on that, but to live our lives happily. |
|
| Barenaked Ladies – It's All Been Done Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It's obviously about emeting your lover again and again forever. Being reincarnated he wonders if she'll remember him, or how he'll react if he sees her again. The woman seems to be bored with the idea of meeting him over and over. She's indifferent to him. On a deeper noe, this is about being in an on/off again relationship. Doing the same thing, playing those same games over and over. "I heard you say, the past was much more fun."... They both know they'll get back together anyway. |
|
| Dave Matthews Band – Dreams of Our Fathers Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I hated this song. I disliked Everyday in general, but this was one of the worse songs. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Grey Street (Busted Stuff version) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Once again DMB amazes me with the vivid descriptions. I think this song is about an emotionally depressed woman. She doesn't talk about how she is feeling. She just thinks about her memories, stuck in a depressing funk. This song IS me on so many levels. She has no idea how she came to that point in her life. She thought she'd be in a different place in her life, but she isn't and she wonders how it happened. She can't get out of that place in her mind, that melancholy area where her soul feels drained. That empty feeling, that loneliness desperately needs to be filled in. The color reference could be different emotions. As much as she wishes to be happy, her feelings of unhappiness surface. She wants things to be different, and she prays for things to change, even though she believes that God isn't listening to her pleas, she still has hope. She wonders if she should bear the brunt of her sorrow and remedy her own pain. Though she is a human being with flesh, and vulnerability, her heart has turned cold when everything because dull and bleak. The stranger that gives her advice is telling her to believe in herself, and in her dreams for a better life. When she finds that hope, it makes being courageous less difficult. She lives in between total unhappiness and what couldd be construed as suicidal. The end of the world, is great way to describe being on the edge of your sanity. Ready and willing to end it all. She wants to break out of her sadness, and throw away her old life full of pain. She could change everything about herself being more vibrant and happy, but in the end she'll still be unhappy, as everything returns to what it once was. It breaks her heart. |
|
| Dave Matthews Band – Big Eyed Fish (Busted Stuff version) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is melancholy, somber, and slightly bitter. I like how he says Oh God, under the weight of life, things seem brighter on the other side. I think this is about taking chances and what happens when things don't work out your way. The monkey is tempted with something outside his realm of existence. It's kind of like saying don't some try things in life because you were not meant to do so. If and when you do try, you'll pay in the most terrible way. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Say Goodbye (Album version) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This is one of the most romantic DMB songs! The lyrics are beautiful and I can the imagery is amazsing. Can't you just picture a bittersweet parting between two friends/lovers somewhere discreet, like an island maybe? My favorite line Float away here with me An evening just wait and see But tomorrow go back to your man I'm back to my world And we're back to being friends |
|
| 50 Cent – I Smell Pussy Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is idiotic. In fact it is totally crappy. No surprise from a no talent little fuck like Fiddy Cent. Listen to Mos Def, Kanye or Outkast, REAL Rappers! | |
| 50 Cent – I Smell Pussy Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is idiotic. In fact it is totally crappy. No surprise from a no talent little fuck like Fiddy Cent. Listen to Mos Def, Kanye or Outkast, REAL Rappers! | |
| Cannibal Corpse – Necropedophile Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This artist sickens me. Yet another vile, disgusting song which makes wish that the lyricist was dead. Molesting DEAD CHILDREN?! First off this pedophile should be put away forever, secondly this song is about abusing and mutilating a corpse. It was sick and wrong with the child sex, but to not even allow a dead body to rest in peace... The desire to violate a DEAD CHILD'S body is despicable. I hate this music, the band, the song, and all of the sick perverts that get off on this kind of crap. | |
| Cannibal Corpse – I Cum Blood Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is a forum to freely post ones opinions. This song is sick and disgusting. I hate it, and I question both the sanity and intelligence of the lyricist that created this crap. Craptastic! | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Lie in Our Graves Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song to me seems very happy. Free the spirit in your soul, and enjoy that unbridled passion! Live your life with no regrets, and be amazed. I like the splish, splash because it's about having fun. I think that the line is similar to a child bathing, and having fun being wet and happy. He can't believe that he would be dead, reflecting on what could have been in his life. I think he's saying step away from your worries, relax and enjoy the blessing of life that has been given to you. He knows that everything will be ok in the end, but that live your life now. This is a beautiful, happy song that I happen to love. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Don't Drink the Water Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
My interpretation of this song is rather simple. I believe it applies to the settlers that stole land from the Natvie Americans. Lines like What's this you say/ You feel a right to remain/ Then stay and I will bury you What's that you say / Your father's spirit still lives in this place/ are very good examples to prove this theory. My favorite lines are towards the end when Dave hauntingly sings... I live with my justice I live with my greedy need I live with no mercy I live with my frenzied feeding I live with my hatred I live with my jealousy I live with the notion-- That I don't need anyone but me... Of course this song could apply to slave trading in Africa or be any other reference to genocide, war, and the like. Over all this song is chilling, but definitely has a serious message. |
|
| Dave Matthews Band – Jimi Thing Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| For some reason, I do not like this song and Tripping Billies. I like nearly every song but those two. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Pantala Naga Pampa Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| A sweet intro to a great cd... No need to bear the weight of your worries here let them all fall away... | |
| Dave Matthews Band – #41 Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I don't know what Dave is trying to say with song, but here is what I got from the song. Someone has a lot to accomplish in a short amount of time. It seems as if he implies that he is willing to do whatever needs to be done alone if he must. The song speaks of a broken relationship whether it's platonic or romantic is debatable. He also sings about how the person should take advantage of what he has to offer, but not to the point of taking advantage of him. I really adore this song. My favorite line is "Come and see I swear by now I'm playing time I against my troubles... and Remember when I used to play for All of the loneliness that nobody Notice now " |
|
| Dave Matthews Band – When the World Ends Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song is pretty cool. When the world explodes, or burns down we'll be making love till kingdom come, and rollin' one. I think this is lyrically amazing song. We're gonna dive into the emptiness We'll be swimming I'm going to walk you through the pathless roads I'm going to take you to the top of the mountain that's no longer there I'm going to take you to bed and love you, I swear Like the end is here |
|
| Dave Matthews Band – One Sweet World Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is a very, very earth friendly song. It's environmentally sound, and it makes me want to be more earth aware, and take care of our planet. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – The Song That Jane Likes Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I just like the music to this song. It's very nice. I don't think it makes much sense, but I do like the lines... Would you like to play With a fool holding hands With a one-eyed jack of spades While on the deck they sing All of the captain's cards are kings Still he and the queen are lost at sea I hope it isn't you or me |
|
| Gwen Stefani – Serious Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I agree em2000, this is very Madonna-like. It's an alright song. | |
| Kanye West – Two Words Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song kicks ass. Ghetto people get this shit off ya chest. I love that line! | |
