Radiohead – Electioneering Lyrics 12 years ago
There are so many comments about voters, but I got a different mental image from this song.
This song gives me a feeling of underhanded dealings between politicians and their financiers.
I see a politician and a union head smoking cigars and shaking hands, proud of the deal they made to screw over everyone else for their benefit. I think the second verse really supports this idea.
And Fat-Elvis is right... these concepts are more relevant than ever.

The chorus isn't meant to be taken literally. I think a TON of people missed that.
The idea (I think) Radiohead is trying to get across is the widening of some kind of social gap. The high get higher and the low get lower... and somehow the politician has convinced you that "somewhere we will meet," an obvious impossibility.

Blindside – All of Us Lyrics 12 years ago
Songs are usually about emotions. This song is about a feeling and doesn't once mention GOD or JESUS or ALLAH, so you aren't required to interpret it that way.
It is shameful to tell someone who and what their emotions should regard.

I, personally, question whether this song is about God or not based on the fact that it is self-reflective, thus the quote, "And it's a shame how I curl up in the dark." This implies hypocrisy in seeking open arms when one is failing to provide them.

Tool – Viginti Tres Lyrics 18 years ago
i beat the shit out of my cd player when i first listened to this song.

i think the parts before and after the 'voice' are meant to be sped up considerably and the voice possibly slowed down and the pitch reduced as well. backwards or forwards, i don't know.

Tool – The Pot Lyrics 18 years ago
schedule I?

I like that "the pot" refers to the person being sung to.

"You’re a liar, lawyer, mirror show me what’s the difference."
mirror seems to add a lot to that line.

is snow in refrence to the holocaust?

Hmmm... the first time i actually understood some of the words when i listened to this song i thought it was about terry schaivo. obviously wrong. perhaps the song is a "rosetta stone" of sorts, maybe that means it can be used for the other songs, maybe it just has a message in every third letter or word or something... who knows...

Radiohead – Nice Dream Lyrics 18 years ago
This song doesn't mean anything. You could say it is about your relationship with people or about drugs or about god or about anything. Basically the song means you think its good but its bad and there are no indications as to what "it" is.

10 Years – Wasteland Lyrics 18 years ago
Crouched over
*withdrawal symptoms

Living in fear
*drug paranoia

But signs were not really that scarce
*holes in the arms, bags under eyes

But I will not
Hide you through this
I want you to help
And please see
The bleeding heart perched on my shirt
*this is basically saying that the writer will not do the work, the addict has to help, but the writer does care

withdraw
Hide in cold sweat
Quivering lips
*obvious "withdraw"al symptoms


Ignore remorse
*still wanting more (probably heroine), though it has done this to you


Crowned hopeless
The article read living wasteland
*much more likely to be an article about drugs than this specific person


Heave the silver hollow sliver
Piercing through another victim
*injecting heroine


Turn and tremble be judgmental
Ignorant to all the symbols
*once again (tremble, cold sweat, quiver) withdrawal and abuse signs


Blind the face with beauty paste
*this is confusing, but i think it means that the abuser is giving everything "beauty" and blinding the true individual beauty in the "face"


Limbs tied, skin tight
*simply refering to a preparation for doing heroine

Self inflicted his perdition
*abuser brought this hell upon himself, obviously
