| Bibio – You Won’t Remember... Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Unbelievable song, easily my favorite by him. I feel like it could mean a lot of things (and that's probably what he intended), but when I first read the lyrics I immediately thought of a loved one in an accident of some kind. "In his chair at night, he can’t clear his mind" Waiting for someone to arrive who's running late "Silence hurts, no-distractions-ache Then he gets the call and he drives for miles" After waiting in silence, gets the phone call that the loved on is in the hospital and drives miles to get there "He’d like to tell you that he wanted you" Either he never got the chance to say how he really felt or he wished he had one last chance to say it again "He sees you but you don’t see him In your bed at night, in your line of sight" In the hospital room, loved one is in bed and can't see him sitting at the side of the bed even though he's right in the line of sight "Silence sings and his ears will ring With that final bleep, he can’t fall to sleep" Possibly the final "bleep" of a heart monitor before the loved one passes away? "You won’t remember but he wanted you" Maybe the loved one's long-term memories have been destroyed by the accident and won't be in a state to remember him "He’d like to tell you that you’re haunting him." :( Again there's a lot of ways this song could be interpreted, but that was my initial reaction. Keep up the amazing work, Stephen! |

| Green Day – 21st Century Breakdown Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Not to be a buzzkill, but I can't let a blatant historical inaccuracy pass by like this. George W. Bush was not "pushed out of the white house," his term naturally expired and a new president was elected. In fact, George Bush was RE-ELECTED for a SECOND TERM only two months after American Idiot came out. Though American Idiot might have brought up a lot of issues that many American youth were unaware of preivously and might have politically influenced them in ways that they would not have been otherwise, you're overrating the actual effect that one album had on a very complex political culture. | |
| Asher Roth – I Love College Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This is why the terrorists hate us. | |
| Coldplay – The Goldrush Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Anyone else kind of get the feeling that this sounds a bit like a very, very early version of life in technicolor? Maybe its just that it has similar chord progression at the chorus, but that's what i thought first time i heard it. | |
| U2 – Winter Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song was one of the last to be cut from No Line On The Horizon, and was still used in the Anton Corbijn film "Linear" that was released with the album. It will likely appear on the next album, "Songs of Ascent," due out late 2009 or early 2010. There aren't any official lyrics out yet and this was the best I could decipher, so when the official ones come out I'll make sure to change them. From a lyrical standpoint, it seems like it's describing a man's crisis of faith, which would fit in with the overall pilgrimage theme of the upcoming album. It never really goes anywhere but I really love the sound of it. What do you guys think? |

| U2 – No Line On The Horizon Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Wow, what a perfect opener for No Line On The Horizon, just as inspirational an opening track for me as Zoo Station. I'm not very clear exactly what the lyrics are supposed to mean though, I want to hear what some other people think. | |
| Radiohead – Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Wow, kida0002 I never noticed that! I listened to LP5 again today and especially closely to under boac, and I certainly can see some strong resemblances. Radiohead were really into Autechre and other IDM at the time, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were inspired in part by it. Both are amazing songs and have phenomenal beats. | |
| The Postal Service – Brand New Colony Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Cheesiest, sappiest, most amazing postal service song :-) | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Lights in the Sky Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"everything they whispered in our ear is coming true" Anyone else think that this kind of fits in with Year Zero, referencing the government perhaps? "try to justify the things i used to do" Maybe it can be seen as him trying to justify his old life in the face of the oppressive policies of the new ultraradical government? I know it's a weak connection, but it might be interesting to anyone looking to connect the Slip w/ Year Zero. Lights In The Sky=The Presence? |
|
| Moby – Great Escape Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Does anyone else think that the music bears a strong resemblance to "So Cruel" by U2? Maybe it's just the chords, but the first time I heard this song that's all I could think. Great song though, I agree with hybridcritter on the lyrics. | |
| U2 – Are You Gonna Wait Forever? Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Wow, this is one of those times that I feel like bono's speaking to me specifically through his lyrics. There's this girl that I've adored for a really long time, and just up until recently she was with someone else. Now she just became single, and I have to get my act together because she leaves forever this summer. Now I have to "get out from under my bed, and say the things I should have said, now." It's amazing how sometimes U2 lyris describe my life to a fine point. I guess bono's just that amazing... |

| Radiohead – Last Flowers Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Easily one of my favorite radiohead songs of all time. The version on the diskbox makes me almost cry every time i hear it. absolutely amazing. I think the meaning of the song fits in with the overall theme of OK Computer and the theme of Stanley Donwood's original artwork style for the album, which is exploration of suburban life. To me its jsut the everyday grind of going to work, school, whatever day after day with no chance of escape, kind of the opposite narator as the guy from Pakt like sardines who seemed to be content with this lifestyle. Amazing song by any means. | |
| Eminem – Without Me Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Oh, shut up Eminem. Moby has more talent than you could ever dream to have, so shut the fuck up. | |
| Ayumi Hamasaki – A Song for XX (English) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Definately my favorite ayumi song. My favorite J-Pop song of all time, if not my favorite pop song of all time as well. Love the acoustic orchestrael version and the demo version on Ballads the best. | |
| Sigur Rós – Von Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| How has nobody commented on this song after all of these years? Von is easily my favorite Sigur Ros song of all time. And I'm not talking about the new version that has the honor of appearing on both disks of Hvarf-Heim, although that version is great in its own right. I'm talking about the title track to Sigur Ros' little-known debut CD. Von is the icelandic word for hope, and thats exactly what this song is. In my opinion, this song is what would be happen if someone turned the concept of hope into a sound. This is the sound that hope would make, this song. It just grabs down deep into you and just takes full control of you when you listen to it with a clear mind and headphones in a dark room. The song begins just as mystically as it ends, and as it progresses it takes you on a trip of reflection and ultimately contemplates the future. The kind of hope that this song is about isn't grand "no one stand in my way i'm coming to take on the world" hope, but instead simple intimate stripped down hope, the very core and essence of the concept itself. This song is the kind of hope that people have stored up in them when everything is wrong and need to be reminded that there is still something left to keep them going and that tomorrow just might be better. This is what this song means to me, the very core of this song. I dont know if theres anyone else out there that thinks this, but i urge everyone to listen to this song, the original recording on their first album, and give it another chance. Let it take control of you, let it fill up your entire being. Maybe you'll find the same kind of hope that I did .:-) | |
| Radiohead – Reckoner Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| How has no one else commented on this song yet!?! This is easily one of the top 3 best on In Rainbows, if not THE best. I'm really not sure about the lyrics yet, I'm going to have to listen to it a few more times.... | |
| Radiohead – 15 Step Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Wow, its so hard to listen to this song with the bass cranked up and my cheap as free 70's sound system and not get up and start dancing around. What a freaking amazing song, I absolutely adore the dirty sounding synth at the beginning and Phil's drumming absolutely rocks. I agree with abandonshape on the lyrics piece too.... | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Tarantula Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I kind of feel like this song is very similar in theme to the Everlasting Gaze, that "No, I'm not dead, we're back." "We are the real If real ever was And just because We are the real They feel we have enough We are the real 'Cause someone gave us up" Pretty much dismissing all comments that this reunion band isn't legit and that its just a cheap profit ploy. "I don't want to be alone I don't want to be alone I don't want to be alone at all If it's a white hot soul they want Then a black heart they'll get" To me, both Billy saying that SP is back to stay and kick some ass, and that he'll put out whatever the hell he wants, regardless of what people think of him. Let's just hope they actually stay together this time. |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – That's the Way (My Love Is) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The more I listen to this, the more it sounds like a grittier, better "Stand Inside Your Love." Can't wait to start hearing the radios play this soon.... | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Bleeding the Orchid Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I'm starting to think that they should have named this album "Machina III/Zeitgeist." It has so many of the same themes of the machinas, which revolved around how BC perceived the way his fans and the media thought about him. Even though a lot of this whole album is supposed to be about the current political climate, I think theres just as much of that theme as there is the theme that threaded the machina albums (Machina I in particular). | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Slow Dawn Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| One of my favorite Pumpkins songs. Rrgh, I wish they released this song properly.... So beautiful to listen to.... | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – For God and Country Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Rrgh, this song was completely ruined by the studio version. If you're reading this, go look up a live version of this song on youtube. The live versions are acoustic and much more personal and meaningful. | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – (Come On) Let's Go! Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I find this song very similar to 7 shades of black, my second or third favorite off of Zeitgeist. Even though this may not be one of my favorites off of the CD, I thoroughly enjoy listening to it, especially the bridge part that shows up from time to time. Again though, not a particular fan of the lyrics, as I fins them a tad too angsty for my taste. | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – That's the Way (My Love Is) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Wow, the more I listen to this song, the more it becomes my favorite song on Zeitgeist. Not only that, but one of my favorite Pumpkins songs period. I just wish there were a few more songs on the album this light or lighter..... | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – 7 Shades of Black Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Wow. Even though this is supposed to be one of the "filler" songs on the album, I personally currently enjoy this song more than both Tarantula and Doomsday Clock, and nearly as much as Way My Love Is. I love the way it rocks and the beat to the song, just absolutely amazing. Not a big fan of the overly angsty lyrics, but you can barely even hear what he's saying anyway. ^_^ | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – That's the Way (My Love Is) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Beautiful song, one of my favorites off of Zeitgeist. And I'm going to ignore the idea that it's about Courtney Love. | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Doomsday Clock Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song absolutely rocks. I'm pretty sure that no one really needs to be explained the meaning, as Billy makes it pretty clear throughout the course of the song. Although the lyrics borderline on being too politically weighed down, I think that it's fine as long as the rest of the album isn't too much. I can't wait to hear it in Transformers and as the opening song for Zeitgeist! Oh, and I know that there's thousands of you out there that this song/Zeitgeist doesn't sound like "real SP," but how much did Mellon Collie sound like Gish? How much did Siamese Dream sound like Adore? This is just a new SP era, like it or not. |
|
| U2 – Window in the Skies Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Wow.... this is one of the most bizarre songs U2's ever written, right up there with "Hold Me Thrill Me" and "Numb," but obviously not for the same reason. It's bizzare, it sounds like a cover of a 70s pop ballad that you'd hear as a b-side or something. The closest they've probably ever done to that is probably the album Rattle and Hum or the song "Red Hill Mining Town" from Joshua Tree. Regardless of the wierdness, its a great song, and I actually wouldnt mind an album of that kind of sound (note the singular, I wouldnt want them going that direction for too long, or they'd probably lose the sound I love them for). Can't wait to hear the new album! | |
| Moby – South Side Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| imho, the video was gorram stupid. Was I missing something? Anyway, the song on the other hand sounds amazing. I'm not sure about the meaning, but I think the other posts here make sense. I'll make another post if I think of something.... | |
| Radiohead – 15 Step Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I heard this song off of a... well... "sketchy" site, and I have to say that I can't get it out of my head. I love its awesome syncopated drumbeat (that reminds me of idiotheque somewhat) and I like the part at the end with the synths. I hope it makes it on the album! ^_^ | |
| Sigur Rós – Flugufrelsarinn Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Beautiful song, maybe my favorite off of their thrid album (if I try to spell it I know I'll get it wrong ^_^). Does anyone else think it sounds a bit like Tomorrow by U2? |
|
| U2 – Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Though I think it's most likely sung from the perspective of the devil, I think it could also be about East Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall. "You cry for mama, and daddy's right along " East germany looking for help from Mother Russia but West Germany coming to aid instead "Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car" Daddy (Germany) is going to pay for the East's crashed economy Plus, the "crashed car" could also be seen as referring to the Trabant, the East German-made car that thosands of East Germans abandoned at roadsides (crashed) when the Berlin Wall fell. |
|
| Rustic Overtones – Sector Z Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| My favorite song by the Overtones. They make the recording sound just like your travelling in a spaceship. I read that David Bowie did back-up singing for this, and if you lidten closesly you can hear him. | |
| Burlap to Cashmere – Chop Chop Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Ah, my favorite song by this group. I'm pretty sure this song is about religous oppression. | |
| U2 – Summer Rain Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I love this song. Is it possibly about a man growing older and looking back at life when he was younger? Mid-life crisis maybe? | |
| U2 – Always Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I love that line "get down off your holy cloud, god does not deal with the proud." Great song. I didn't know it was an early version of beautiful day, although i did notice the similarities the first time I heard the song. | |
