| Enter Shikari – Antwerpen Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
The start of the song is about a legend where Silvius Brabo defeated a giant guarding the river Schledt and cut his hand off and threw it in the river. I'm not sure about exactly what this means in terms of the indoctrinations etc, but maybe saying that the colonisation of many places was very violent and that the foundations of these nations came at a cost to the previous inhabitants, the passage of time has turned these things into legends and not for what truly occurred.
Just my thoughts.
Pretty cool song too. |

| The Academy Is... – The Phrase That Pays Lyrics

I have to say that I think the first line of the song refers to the fact that he is sitting in the doctors room just after he is told that he is ill and he sees his life flash before his eyes.
Amazing song by the way! |

| Mason Jennings – Adrian Lyrics

|
|
It truly is a sad song. I believe it is about someone being lynched as the man's hands are tied and it says 'as they set my last breath free' therefore meaning that he is being murdered. A terrible scenario which undoubtably refers to the horrific treatment experienced by African-Americans. |

Thrice is one of my favourite bands and this is definitely one of their best ever songs. I really like how it has so many different changes throughout the song, finishing with dustin (I think ) on the piano. Perfection. |

| Tool – Parabola Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I really love this song and I really like how Parabol joins so smoothly into this. In my opinion the song is about how a persons spirit/soul is within a physical vessel of a body. Or it could also be saying that life is short and the holy experience of being alive is worth fighting for:
"We are choosing to be here right now, hold on, stay inside
This holy reality
This holy experience, choosing to be here in
This body
This body holding me " |

I prefer Pictures to this song personally. The song appears to be about extra terrestrial activity and noone listening to the 'believers' claims. Anyway I wanted to comment cause the filmclip to this song was shot at a motel in my street (about 30m away) and you can even see my car in the background! |

| Brand New – Jesus Christ Lyrics

This truly is an exceptionally beautiful and thought provoking song. I first thought is was mocking Christianity but after actually listening to the words it is astounding that such a mainstream band would write such an honest song about death and written as an open prayer to God. Brand New have written a masterpiece. |

| Blink-182 – Adam's Song Lyrics

|
Also to z-man, just because it is dedicated dedicated to a suicide victim it is still a beautiful song and uplifting at the end. The line "tommorrow just holds such better days" obviously shows that they are saying that if your depressed that it isn't forever and looking forward to better times in the future. |

| Underoath – The Impact of Reason Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
This has to be one of the best songs from this album. I really love Aarons drum work at the very start of the song, really good stuff.
I think that perhaps the song describes the narrator just hopping in his car and goin for a drive nowhere in particular just to think and have quiet time in the serene blur of the nightime passing by. "Silence is golden" |

Sorry to tell you but this song is indeed called 'The 80's song'. Its a bonus track from "They Are Only Chasing Safety" Bonus Edition.
To my knowledge it is exactly the same as "It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door" except the choir part has a sort of harmony. |

| Rise Against – State Of The Union Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
A truly intense song. I agree with shollowxgrave that it is not necessarily about the war in Iraq as it would appear at first glance. But maybe the song is about how while they are fighting the war back in the US 'the red, white and blue' the situation is almost mirrored with racism, violence etc.
The last three lines are so powerful its mindblowing, I got shivers up my spine. |

Awesome song, my favourite from the new album. Yeah I agree it is about the impact the media has on society, propaganda included.
The media is constantly creating news that may or may not exist and can be a tool for evil ... the common threat sits in our house (TV, radio, etc.) |

Awesome song. I agree with mrelapse that it could be about getting drug users to break out of their addiction and become 'alive' again. It could also describe breaking out of any sort of rut or bad situation people could be in.
I like the lines :
take off the dirt
swallow regret
and
RISE! |

| Far-Less – Everyone Is Out To Get Us Lyrics

Nice song! I agree with L-kyne that it is about a massive secret that is very damaging but he won't reveal it unless he needs to "escape". It then goes on to say that he will not reveal the information if he is allowed to disappear.
It reminds me of a CIA spy movie or something, really cool.
If you think that this song is confusing try to work out You Knew What This Was |

| Far-Less – Dialogue Supervisor (Rise Of The Pop Icon) Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
This song is about the shortfalls of being famous and the bands wish to not be a massive commercialized band bending to the popular music scene
"Hot shot celebrities are telling me I've got to walk that way
But I just disagree
They don't have much to say
Who's gonna jump off this wagon with me?"
The lyrics I like best are... There is no better way to isolate yourself when you're in a crowded place...everyones talking and they dont have much to say. |

I disagree that Silcerchair have gone commercial. The first time that this song was ever played on the radio was on Triple J, then the commercial stations caught on and started playing it because it is such a good song, not because the band has 'sold out'. The first The songs are all written by daniel and have become more complex as he has become a better songwriter. I can't wait for the new album. |

I'm not an avid hip hop listener but the lyrics in this song really stood out.
"Everybody sound the same, commercialize the game
Reminiscin' when it wasn't all business
If it got where it started
So we all gather here for the dearly departed"
These lines sum up the message that the commercialisation of hip hop is killing it.
Great song, I can't believe more people haven't commetned on it. |

I think that the song criticizes organized religion rather than God or being Christian. Many terrible things have been done over the years in the name of religion, but this is evil people using Gods name as an excuse. These people gain power my manipulating people as shown in this song. |

This song is amazing. It has to be the most emotion filled song I have ever heard.

God bless you all |
