It seems this is at least in part about Jimi Hendrix, since when Shannon sings "Jimi, we need to borrow this for a minute", they play the riff from Manic Depression. |

This song is such a fucking rip-off of the far superior Leonard Cohen song "Suzanne". |

| Pearl Jam – I Got Shit (I Got Id) Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
"Walk the line" is referring to the Johnny Cash song.
The song is about a really shy person who can't bring himself to start any meaningful relationships. He feels all of the urges (the Freudian "id") that everyone else has, but he doesn't have the courage to act on them. He tries to "walk the line" and cater to others' wants, but never tells people what he wants. |

| The Constantines – Insectivora Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
The meaning is so fucking obvious.
Herbivorous = a creature that eats only plants
Carnivorous = a creature that eats only meat ("carne" = meat)
Insectivorous = ?
"I’m learning to survive on earthworms and houseflies.
I'm learning to survive" |

Wow, those rhymes remind me of a poem I wrote in kindergarten. Except that my poem had some sort of cohesion. |

| U2 – The First Time Lyrics

I don't think that it is debatable whether this song is about God. In the CD booklet, 'His' is capatalized and 'kingdom coming' can't be used in any other context.
But what does the title and repeating line mean? Why does he feel love for the first time after he threw away the key? |

| U2 – The Wanderer Lyrics

This is a great conclusion to Zooropa.
The first half of the album is about the awfulness of a consumeristic culture. In the last half, you slowly wake up and begin to seek out God. I think the alarm sound at the end of this song is a wake-up call. You can't waste your whole life doing things just because they feel good. |

The "And I have no religion" line isn't supposed to be a statement. It is just saying that he is lost and God is lost amid the emptiness of the media/our commercialistic culture. There is a theme throughout the whole album of trying to find God in our oversaturated empty consumeralist culture. |

| U2 – Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car Lyrics

There is no way this song is about God. Read the lyrics. Does this sound like any God you know?
This song is about the DEVIL. This is the evilest song on Zooropa. It comes right after Stay for a reason. When you are down on your luck and depressed, who's there to comfort you? Satan. This is definitely what the song is about. I read that when Bono performed this song on tour, he always wore his MacPhisto getup.
Read C.S. Lewis' 'The Screwtape Letters'. |

| U2 – Lemon Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
I sort of agree with Simplicity. The lady in the lemon dress is the imagination. She is heaven, she is the destination.
"But when you're dry
She draws water from a stone "
"Midnight is where the day begins"
Creativity comes when you least expect it. Man has spent lifetimes searching for the lemon lady. He has built roads and cities to reach some sort of elevation. But happines/creativity comes when you least expect it; it rises from the blackest night. Life comes from death.
This is why I like U2's songs. Even though the lyrics are complex and disjointed, they are pretty deep and open to interperetation. |

It's definitely "Her legs spread out before me, as her body holds still". Try to find a live version where he drags out all the words, and that's what he clearly says. I have a hard time hearing anything else in those 2 lines. |

| Pearl Jam – Man of the Hour Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
I'm pretty sure that it was written for the movie. Look in the 'Big Fish' credits.
This song is about the speaker remembering his deceased father, and appreciating everything he was to him. I don't think the song fits perfectly with the movie, but the overall idea is there. The father in the movie was the 'man of the hour'. |
