| Utada Hikaru – Passion Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
to me, this is a song about time passing, looking back at how childish we were, and looking forward to the long future ahead of us. i think it captures stable friendships of young people becoming adults perfectly. also i noticed a translation mistake. the future shined into forever, in the past tense. but yeah. it's a beautiful song of moving forward. childhood may glitter, but the future continues forever. |

| Utada Hikaru – Passion Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
this is an amateur translation by me. watch out. if i remember - far, far away the future shines into forever beneath the beautiful blue sky, we were frightened, but only a little in nostalgic colours, a window is stained to turn behind, can we meet again the future continues into forever beneath this huge billboard, i want to see the fading of this time to those never met again, somewhere open a window if i remember - far, far away the future shines into forever beneath the beautiful blue sky, we were sleeping, eternally who i liked so long ago in winter i heard will have a child the thing that is decided from long ago once in a while i begin to want to doubt it was never forgotten i wonder if there will there be a photo in the next new year's card the thing that we could not do comes to me so nostalgically |

| Tricky – For Real Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
yah its easy to listen to this song hey. very chill, smoke herb. that word is spelled copascetic, but not so important. keep your eye on the prize. but i train my mic. anyway, the song's about the phrase 'for real' as used by rappers and the culture around it. the films are probably referring to the white-promoted blaxploitation films of the 70s that started black youth on the road to gangsta subcultures, but might be just blockbuster action films in general. the whole song is trying to minimise the gravity ganstaz give their lifestyle and hip hop, by presenting them as being caught up in their image, which isn't 'real'. 'It's my turn to talk' is the negation of hip hop hype, because all hip hop is is people talking with emphasis. 'the coloured girls sing' comes from Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side. that's why the song is probably about self-racism, because by making gangsta rap as black as the night, it segregates itself into a corner. anonymous coloured girls singing backup. problem is, tricky does the same image thing as the culture he's dissin. this is how i use my mic. and his voice is saturated with the feeling of wanting to be heard, give people an image, this is tricky smirking. you look wise on the video. |

| Senses Fail – Institutionalized (Suicidal Tendencies cover) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
yah just got the song now i cant remember if it's better than the original but it's a good thing that this band unearthed it again because it's a really good song, and the humour is pitch-perfect. not enough bands these days use humour the right way, like this, and say something important. this is ACTUALLY the problem with psychology, it'll trap you into defined ways of reflecting and it makes people (eg the mum) see things that aren't there. but yeah you should listen to the suicidal tendencies version yo! |

| Shiina Ringo – honnou Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
this is an amateur translation, so dont trust it! instinct i dont need promises i cant stand what i cant fulfill i want to always be around and i'm wishing for the window where morning never comes i wonder why words are born of history, the sun, oxygen, sea, wind it should have already been plenty we are equal in our lonelinesses the scars you experience right, noone and nothing will find you at fault undo the seal and live life through life itself forgive my caprice, urge me on, without thinking it's too late go further inside of it arouse my impulses the moonlight that seems to say 'i dont care about anything' inferiority complex categorise try to forget all that the end is just aloneness it's best to carry through with reality from here on, until you peter out it's that sharp gaze that i love i dont need promises i cant stand what i cant fulfuill i want to always be around i'm wishing for the window where morning never comes forgive my caprice, urge me on, without thinking it's too late go further inside of it arouse my impulses |

| by the way, if you think you get this song, read a thousand plateaus. it's for helping you think ^_^ | |
| Modest Mouse – Life Like Weeds Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
this song is for people who think too much, first and foremost. so many long posts, people thinking out loud. for me, this song was the first time i understood how to be trapped inside another person's art. it was a beautiful feeling of knowing that i would be out sometime in the near future, knowing so much more about myself and everything else. now, it sounds like someone just on the cusp themselves, too. if you understand this much about humanity's future, individual lives' destinies, with nothing left to try to understand how can you not feel this empty? and then you realise that investing your emotions in ideals like The Future and Death is what's causing you to be sad, joyfully let go, and move on. no that's just what i did. but stuff from good news for people who love bad news is a lot softer and less masochistic, so i guess isaac discovered the same or a similar thing. |

| Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Y Control Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
yeah i kinda didnt give this song much of a chance, but even now i know y is the one in xx/xy it's still kinda tired... go back to riot grrls, even first wave feminine punk rock. y probably means the yeah yeah yeahs more than anything. being obscurist is for cultivating a cult following. is she really just a poor little baby? why say baby? why say well so pointlessly? or repeat words for no reason? to generate a cult following. sounds nice and modern though. |

| The Sugarcubes – Birthday Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
If this song seems to be about a paedophiliac situation, it's only because the words 'she touched it', 'knickers', 'they lie in the bathtub' seem sexual. it's sensuality, not sexuality. the song is trying to become five again, and the things that five year olds feel. that's why she has all the 'aaaooooohoooohoh' parts for no reason. bjork from this era can give you an idea about why she knows so much about people, she's clearly trying to understand things better by becoming a minor and suppressing adult thoughts. |

| Jimmy Eat World – For Me This Is Heaven Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| the thing that jimmy eat world seem to do best is become soft, and make listeners become soft. 'we cant do a thing but wait so lets wait' is for making you tense and release, to make release the only option for tension. everything in their music is oriented in that direction. 'i close my eyes and believe'. it's emo, it's romanticism, and it will make you too soft to believe in anything but feelings. get out while you still can! | |
| Massive Attack – Butterfly Caught Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
seems like massive attack trying to become a butteryfly's life. this is a really good song yo! the song becomes a butterfly, and when you feel yourself biting it's lips you become the butterfly, fair skin freckles, uncut teeth. the dull transitions and wing beats, it's to make you become a butterfly. |

| Sonic Youth – Unmade Bed Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
i just got this song the other day. it's so realistic, and makes me feel so sad. like i could become that man someday. the most amazing thing is how well everything fits together, the music exactly describes the words, and the both seem to exactly describe the situation as it happens to you. i think these guys know what theyre doing! |

| Iron Maiden – New Frontier Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
angels and devils can suck my arse. if people need a reason to hate someone, they should find it within themselves and not ascribe it to ideals. learning how to clone includes the problem of incomplete human animals, as well as the possibility of innated stunting. all this band has done is associate our animal aspect with unholiness, which is understandable but gay. iron maiden will rot your brain yo! flee now while you still have a chance! |

| Sonic Youth – Dirty Boots Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
ooh first post yeah i just downloaded this guy for the first time today. here's what i think: the first main point is the jelly roll; it's mentioned once in the first stanza and once in the second, and not strongly linked itself to anything else on first glance, so its the sparsest element that describes the world in the song. the most obvious theme comes through in the sexual atmosphere. words like sex, crack, tongue, finger, making out, but more importantly the feminine - pink - sexual aspect. hi de ho is also important. it links with the title - dirty boots - to give the sense of a labourer's work. the truck adds to this. finally, a christian-evil mood is partly included, with the words satan and witch, and the number of the beast. rather than being a particularly christian element i think it's probably just there to make you feel uncomfortable. the narrative part runs weakly chronologically from early to late night every night in this world. the candle is what attracts you to find sex, like a workshift whistle. the jelly roll is nothing but pure sweetness, the one that will make you soft if you eat it every day. the ride is an invitation - if you wanna go - but resonating with the midnight eye, which means the female sex as much as it does privacy, it seems to become the object, your ride for the night. the ride, or method of transport to and from the candle, is sexualised this way as well, as is entering the vehicle - get on below. pink as a verb, pinking out as the method, suggests a lifestyle of becoming pink and nothing more, a living pink dream. the phrase 'the crazy way' makes you feel yourself in that situation, bringing you into the pink momentarily. finger on the love seems like you have love exactly where you want it, where your finger touches the pink. the second stanza uses the mechanics of the situation more, and builds on the suffocation from the first, while adding the element of seeming to describe the whole system. i couldnt get six-sex-six for a bit, but it's 666-sex, wrong sex. by luck, and satellite wish refer to the mechanism of encounter: first and foremost, you have relinquished control over the specifics, and you always have a list of numbers if your luck is down - make it just enough. this desperate scramble, and chaotic effects, also come through in the next line; the witch in the coffee truck. the phrase rock the road sounds like rock and roll to me, and suggests this as the origin of this whole culture. the social aspect, or where this culture opens into standard social relations, is the recounted tale of the jelly rollin. also: the title has the second image of the dirty fuck-me boots. i think that's about it... in terms of the sound, the verse riff evokes an old and pervertedly-designed machine, and thurstons voice for most of the song seems breathy and impotent, lending the whole thing the image of a system for spaying humans, but one that people work towards keeping in place. the anger in his voice and the guitars at the end suggest that everyone knows this at some level - or at least the listener does now, and the frustration comes through in the gap between the two themes combined in the title - dirty boots for fucking, dirty boots for labouring. whaddaya think? |
