| Bruce Springsteen – Youngstown Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
You must be young... They needed to play it during the Reagan years, when towns like Youngstown faded away and the winners of the game that is capitalism dropped their cards on the floor and walked off to play with a new deck in other countries. Bruce Springsteen really knows how to resonate with the blue collar types that went through the unimaginable pain of those times... not just in this song, but in many of his songs. I never understand how the pro-big business, anti-worker types can relate to this type of music, yet they seem to find some meaning in it as well. |

| The Knife – We Share Our Mother's Health Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Just a side note... isn't it all her singing? Isn't the deep voice just her with an effect of some sort? | |
| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Magic Johnson Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| If you can find an old copy of Red Hot Skate Rock, you can not only hear the last major performance of hillel slovak, you can hear some origins of what sounds like this song. Right before Fight Like a Brave, there is an interlude with the same drum part and bass part that is in much of this track. | |
| Jane's Addiction – Whores Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I\'ve read that this was sort of a tribute to a particular girl that helped manage them, but ultimatly it seems to be about what the inital post said... how others who are down never judge you. This may actually be my favorite song of all time. I love the bass hook, the drumming, the entire thing. |

| Jane's Addiction – Slow Divers Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This is a neat song. It appears to be about herion use, but it reads like an afternoon in a place of paradise. It really sort of captures the warmth of the world that herion may put you in and not ever wanting to leave. Just don\'t ever want to move from this spot You can sit here for so long! There\'s a slide, suislide You can live or die Going up, going down! Meaning not wanting to come down, but how you can go either way at any time. Slow divers Their view is spectacular! I\'m reading this to be like people who can stay in the \'good place\' without dropping down get the best from the drug. |

| Jane's Addiction – Pig's in Zen Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| guiffporn pretty much hit the nail on the head. I think the idea is to compare how we pursue happieness in the wrong direction. We go for more when less can really be better. | |
| Jane's Addiction – Obvious Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think this song is about how much Eric Avery disliked Perry at the time. Perry was saying it was so obvious that Eric wanted to keep making Perry feel like shit by always pointing out the negative. | |
| Jane's Addiction – Classic Girl Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I love this line... They may say, \"Those were the days...,\" but in a way, you know for us these are the days That line actually made me think about life differently. |

| Butthole Surfers – John E. Smoke Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I should note that it does sort of brush with Dogma a bit. | |
| Butthole Surfers – John E. Smoke Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I\'m shocked no one has posted the meaning of this random group of words. You haven\'t heard this song if you haven\'t heard it live. There really is zero concrete meaning to this one. | |
| Butthole Surfers – Pepper Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is just a story telling type of song. There is no exact meaning. It is very similar to Loser as mentioned above. I can\'t help but wonder if Gibby was perhaps a little pissed that Beck had hit sucess with a random work piece that sounded like it should have been a butthole surfers song. Nothing done by the butthole surfers was coincidence. | |
