| Glassjaw – Hurting and Shoving (She Should Have Let Me Sleep) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Oh, and when I get upset (with a relationship or otherwise), I listen to Cursive's album Domestica. It's not as loud, but it's just as emotive, and the lyrics are more my style. | |
| Glassjaw – Hurting and Shoving (She Should Have Let Me Sleep) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| The Jonas Brothers? Because I don't care for needless abrasiveness? What a weak-minded retort. Look, all I'm saying is that you can be honest without being degrading or immature. Rage happens, but you don't have to commit it to record. Also, I'm not 12. I've been hurt, and I've been angry, but I got over it. You can't judge someone's life from two comments on the internet that get misinterpreted. That said, you can't write a full explication of every song in the world to prevent misunderstanding. | |
| Owen – Declaration of Incompetence Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I've listened to the song a fair few times, and the beginning line still gets me. It sounds a lot like he subverted the opening line to The Misfits' "Last Caress", which is an odd start for a song about apathy and inadequacy. | |
| Amanda Palmer – Oasis Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Man, life is cool when I think that anyone who doesn't listen to Amanda/the Dresden Dolls listens to pop bullshit. Woohoo for small-minded elitism! She's great at becoming unstable characters, and this is another exercise. Moral of the story? Stop being stupid, ladies. Stop being assholes, boys. And yes, I'm commenting on this because of the Pitchfork video. Oh well. I've been listening to her since her band's self-titled album. Woooo, I'm impressive! |

| Glassjaw – Hurting and Shoving (She Should Have Let Me Sleep) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| There's "emotion" and there's "sounding like a misogynist." For most of this album, Daryl's doing the latter. If it weren't for that, the songwriting would be great. | |
| Glassjaw – Trailer Park Jesus Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I commented on that two posts up from you and didn't even have to sound like a sarcastic 15-year-old. Calm down. | |
| Glassjaw – Trailer Park Jesus Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Aside from "world" being "word," these are the lyrics from the album itself, so like it or not, it's "I'm a body/Laid a 9 on my sleeve/I'm a bitch, girl/I'm a bitch." That's how it's sung, too. That whole "denial" thing is an old joke or whatever said by people trying to be clever. Daryl didn't invent it, and you're looking too into it. |

| David's great at creating sour scenarios between two lovers and ex-lovers. Way to make a comeback album. | |
| Weezer – We Are All on Drugs Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| There are better ways to get across that sort of meaning. Your interpretation is probably smarter than the band's intentions, and if it's not, Rivers didn't try to bolster his words above this rote garbage. | |
| Jimmy Eat World – Shame Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Indeed, indeed. It's possible, but Jim's notoriously gnomish about inspiration. He insists that his songs are about whatever you want them to be. | |

Congratulations. You just proved that, in the face of losing an argument of words, your only resort is violence, a last bastion for the weak-minded. Alright, listen, you shit-brained cuntfuck, go back to Sparta. I'll say what I want in real life. If you're that much of a wimp that you can't take being wrong, it's best that you "make me miss some teeth" so you can get arrested and fucked in jail like the cunt you are. If only you knew how low you are... I'd like to take your head, separate it from the rest of your body save for one strand of muscle, set a colony of fire and Amazon ants on the wound (whereupon they will fight for resources). As this is happening, I'd bite off every one of your fingers and toes, force-feed them to you, take Polaroids of the chewed mess as the ants seize upon it, staple your eyes open (with a Swingline, because even then you'd agree that your death would have to pay homage to Office Space), and cool the photographs with the flailing of your limbs as I gather your relatives to play piñata with your writhing body and salted rods. Once the ants had devoured what little flesh kept your head and torso attached, further desecration of the corpse would come from the savage jackals, famished and at the brink of starvation but with that glorious ounce of driving despair. Yes, the jackals would take care of the body. As for your head, it would be sealed in cellophane, lacquered, and sent to Maradona as his personal soccer ball (or football, depending on your country) for ceremony. Going back to the jackals, their stools after the consumption of your meat would then be incinerated in hellfire. All in all, it's a fitting end for thinking that you can still win out over reason by threatening violence. Being tough just proves you can't reason. You further that point by not being able to type like a decent person. Feud all you want. If we did meet in real life, I have friends in the hardcore scene that would beat you with pipes if I so wished because they're grunts just like you. Go join the army, cannon fodder, so you can see how far your bullshit tough guy routine takes you. |

This is nit-picking, but at least learn how to type. Johnny Cash. I'm sorry that he's not tough enough for you. Go spin-kick a 14-year-old in the pit and shut up now. |

| Man, Tim's not happy with Christianity on this album. It's better than every other band's stance on hating Bush, though. | |

| Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen cover) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
John Cale's version isn't very good. Even if it's about an orgasm, the physicality of that sort of thing can be overtaken by a higher feeling, like a holy moment. Orgasms aren't always base and sexual and just the process of spewing DNA into a potential host. It is on a biological level, but to just think of that in relation to this song would be a disservice. An orgasm can be an act of fulfillment between to people, going beyond the physical rammifications, so don't condemn it because of that. |
|
| Weezer – We Are All on Drugs Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| "Beverly Hills" is like a rocked-out version of the Steve Miller Band's "The Joker." Not everything from the last three albums has been terrible, but on average, they've been going downhill. You can try to change your sound while still failing to make good music. I can't respect their "courage and creativity" because they're not taking chances like they did between the first two albums. I've been listening to them since The Blue Album came out, and their "post-reunion" material isn't the same, and that's not elitism talking. | |
| Glassjaw – Hurting and Shoving (She Should Have Let Me Sleep) Lyrics | 18 years ago |

Learn how to type, people. The "You say the waiting could crush your heart" is a slightly altered line from Sunny Day Real Estate's "Seven." |

| Green Day – American Idiot Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Even bands that leave an impression sometimes don't deserve it. I agree with you for the most part, Korean. Green Day's just riding the coattails of the political garbage. The album itself isn't even a concept album about the government, but they try to make it seem otherwise, especially with this song. It's an attempt to remain relevant, and it has done wonders for them. In the end, they're still a bunch of foulmouth kids from California. The music is nothing that hasn't been done for decades, and the lyrics are nothing remotely on level with anything from the upper eschelon. This song is alright for what it is, which isn't much. Green Day's great at being catchy and snotty, all that you can ask for in a pop-punk band. "Deep" doesn't suit them, and they haven't really gone down that alley, which is for the best. Yes, they have some fun musical phrasing and one-liners, but even a monkey at a computer can come up with a couple of words, given enough time. Ah, well. I'm going to go be an elitist elsewhere. |

| Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| That's why I said "I think." Thanks for cursing me out, and you fit the stereotypes perfectly. Again, grow up.. Also, studies have been done that show a correlation between typing and general maturity/intelligence. Ah, why bother arguing? Reason means nothing anymore. Seriously, this is it. Later, Zeppelin fans. It has been fun. | |
| Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Yeah, LOTR was around. Tolkien wrote the trilogy in the mid 1950's, and The Hobbit has been around since 1938, I think. Film (cartoon) versions of both stories date back to the mid to late 1970's. | |
| Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I called that person an idiot because... It should be obvious. It just so happened that the person was 16 and fit the stereotype of an immature teenager. I haven't forgotten what it's like to be without a strong or meaningful voice but with a desire to be loud and heard nonetheless. Also, typos make you appear unintelligent, especially the copious amount thereof given by that young man. Whatever on that, though - I'm an English major and entirely too sensitive to that sort of thing, and it was only fuel for my dismay toward him. Take care. | |
| The Promise Ring – Red & Blue Jeans Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| No idea what he's saying in that part. Maybe it's "nothing feels good again" with the last syllable drawn out. In any case, I like this song. It was great live, or from my memory of 4 years ago, it was great. Davey doesn't write complex songs, but they're pretty good nonetheless. | |

Posting for a friend: "This song is obviously written to take advantage of malliable and gullable people's thoughts, trying to reel them in to believing that he actually means this stuff." |

Jeff wasn't a druggie. He drank some, but he wasn't an alcoholic, and he didn't really drink until his 20's. He smoked pot, yes, and did it with some frequency, but he wasn't a pothead. He wasn't a druggie. He experimented while on tour, but considering his hatred for his father, he didn't want to get INTO drugs and die like Tim. He only tried heroin once or twice. He wasn't an addict, and what he DID do, he hated himself for. He realized that that stuff got in the way of his aims as a musician. Also, the song is about a dream that Jeff had back when he was working with Gary Lucas and his band, as others have commented. The person's using heroin in the absence of a lover. |

Meh. I just don't like Led Zeppelin. I've seen and heard some live stuff, heard their albums up to Coda, and it's not my thing by a long shot. Thanks for not wigging out on my sometimes overly acerbic criticism on the band, Mr. No Name. I'm out of this song. Take care. |

How mature, a finger. A lot happens in a few years. It's not just the grammatical issue there. You sound like an imbecile. It's "know," not "no." Obviously, I'm smarter than you if I can get something as asinine as that correct. You can't even type like a moderately intelligent person. How am I supposed to take you seriously? Grow up. Even I wasn't as blatantly ignorant as you are when I was in any part of high school. If I have the IQ of a tumor... Nevermind. that was too much. I'm commenting because I hate idol worship. Woohoo. Why the hell are other people posting if they love the song? Is either emotion going to change things either way? No. The band's still rich, and the lyrics still suck. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Stability Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Alright, bear with me here, but MAYBE this song is a metaphor. | |
| Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Such impeccable reasoning... Dustpan, you're a legend in your own time, and the capital letters certainly drive the point home. I like how you shift audience from "anyone" to "you." That was smooth. Go swallow an active grenade, you 16 year old nonentity. The song is overrated. I don't like it. I'm still alive, and I'm actually quite smart. | |
| Black Label Society – I Never Dreamed (Lynyrd Skynyrd cover) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| If it makes you feel any better, these lyrics aren't all that great. Check out Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" or Jeff Buckley's cover. Even if the music's not your thing, the lyrics are great. | |

By and large, classic rock songs aren't written by potential poet laureates. This isn't limited to classic rock, of course, as 95% of all music has terrible lyrics. Unfortunately, if you take someone with talent, they'll probably be ignored. Look at Tom Waits. Sure, Bob Dylan has a lot of great lyrics, but he also has flat-out clunkers and senseless, drug-fueled rants and meditations. Just because something's old, it doesn't mean it's any good. People too often allow bands to emulate the process of sainthood. I respect JPJ more than any other member of the band. Also, that comment on "If you are just looking for great music, and excellent vocals, Zeppelin is for you," is hollow for me. I can't stand Plant's wailing, but I can appreciate even modestly good vocals. I like great music, too, but there's a discontinuity in my languor toward Led Zeppelin. Go figure. I must be an idiot. |

| Weezer – Butterfly Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Hey Pat, do you think the concept of "If you've been dating for 3 months, you should have sex" is reasonable in the real world (i.e. outside of high school)? | |
| Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Plant can't write. Page can't write. Nobody in Pink Floyd can write. Dio's better but still not that great. Stop romanticising the folk heroes that "classic" rock has made everyone out to be. The next thing you know, people are going to say "Freebird" is on level with "Song of Myself." | |

| Jeff's versions of songs do give a weird feeling. I'm by no means religious (or an athiest, for that matter), but playing "Hallelujah" is just one of those weird things. | |

| Jimmy Eat World – Untitled Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Um... alright... Make completely arbitrary meanings for songs all you want. If that's what you kids are doing, then... This song is about Charlie Brown. His head has a somewhat unique shape, even for a Peanuts character. He was leaving to look for The Great Pumpkin one night, hoping to meet up with Linus along the way. Of course, he left alone, and the song is Snoopy's observation. Snoopy was preparing for another night as a World War I flying ace when he saw his owner leave. There you go. |

| Elton John – Can You Feel The Love Tonight? Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This is a good and simple song. Gay people can write, anyway. People think Walt Whitman was gay, and look at the respect he has. "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" is a good pop song regardless of the sexuality of who wrote it. | |
