| Beck – The Golden Age Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Well, it's pretty much about this: It's over. Relationship over. He's trying to get over it, but well, it doesn't seem like the best day to try. And now he pretty much feels like shit, then he daydreams a bit about a "golden age", simply some melancholic denial. The greatest thing about this song is a strange feature for a sound file. It is... so graphic! Soothing and yet demolishing at the same time. It evokes heartbreak so graphically well that it's almost as if you're watching everything, the guy fucked up, thrown in a couch. The wind-like noise at the end is a perfect sonic metaphor for something dying out that there could be, it reminds me of a similar one tucked at the end of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. |

| Beck – 1000 BPM Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Yes, it sounds like a rant about society, fitting perfectly with the dense production of the (great, by the way) album. A lot of weird noises (I particularly love the distorted beat that comes between the first "1000 bpm" refrain and the second verse) and rap-like vocals delivering many digital era references with the right amount of axniety and anger. Short and sweet. |
|
| Paul McCartney – At The Mercy Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
It's about feeling down, and the song's somber melody (those diminished chords!) proves it very well. He's also doubting about love for someone else, which is quite a thing for Paul. Yet, in the end, he knows that "if you show me love, I won't refuse". He feels alone and unsure of himself. Totally unlike the Macca stereotype running around, and a little masterpiece. How he controls the dissonance is perfect: In the chorus, suddenly the harmony clears up for him to sing the shiniest verses ("If you show me..." and "If you take me...") but soon comes back to the diminished somberness for the rather spooky ones. He also does a great job with the same element on the verses. Brilliant! |
|
| Paul McCartney – Friends To Go Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
You're right! Paul dedicated this to George Harrisoin because he felt that, during the making of the song, George was present in spirit. I don't know about that but anyway this song sounds sad despite the cheerful melody. Afte rall, the main character feels quite isolated and shy. "I've spent a lot of time on my own" - it sounds like a 40-ton-truck all over you and it's still a pop song. The narrator seems to be attached to someone else (whose friends he doesn't want to know anything about), maybe someone who actually cares for him, which causes him to face his normal state of isolation... It's hard to describe because it's perfectly constructed, the imagery it evokes is very powerful indeed. I can totally relate to the lyrics. |
|
| Radiohead – Sulk Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
It's funny. Back when I was an enraged teenager, I thought this song could be a description of my own father, who had problems "inherited" from my grandfather (who died when he was a teenager). It seemed to me like it was a cycle of parental failure, which I saw regarding him and me, and his father and him. We all sulked and bawled, caught in a rage, crashing against walls of problems. Yeah, teenagers can be cruel to parents, can't they? Ironically, I saw the same "inheritance" in myself later, so I thought the song could apply to me AND my father as well! I don't think that way anymore, but it led me to give a possible interpretation of the "just like your dad" metaphor. The song itself seems to talk about dealing with someone with big problems, who complains about them but can't solve them (bites the big wall, the big wall bites back) and suffers. The narrator is clearly angry with him/her and on the last verse tries to get away from it all, because each time (the problem) comes, it eats him alive, it bothers him up to the point of outrage. So he gets by declaring a holiday (i.e. giving a truce, stopping talking about it). The chorus uses the "dad" metaphor as a way to reinforce that it's impossible for the person to change. The person could be a friend, a lover, a relative, his parent (hehe) or the narrator himself. Musically, I love it. The aforementioned tumbling guitar is simple yet moving (check that harmonizing on the second verse!), and when everything goes one step up and Thom bellows out those high notes on the last chorus, it always sends chills down my spine. One of the best and most underrated songs in The Bends. |
|
| Paul McCartney – Riding To Vanity Fair Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I agree with Tweeze. Very unlikely that John's ghost popped up on this song, but since they were the Beatles, it's easy to go with that. Like Foo Fighters and the supposed Cobain references in their songs, with due respect to the obvious differences between those two. I don't think that it might be Heather, though. Would he be speaking of "friendship" in such a case? And I think that they were still together by the time he wrote this. Anyway, this song is just plain amazing, and proof positive of Paul's multiple talents as a musician. Godrich's production is haunting, I love the use of the string section here, subdued and dramatic, that great glockenspiel bit notwithstanding! One of my favorites from him. |
|
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Rocket Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I'll go with Urbancontra here - the search of indivuality within the necessity of others. In the first verse he desires to be himself, to find an identity (bleed in your own light, etc) but at the same time he wishes to be accepted, so hard that he loses self-control and suffers. He misses (lacks) himself, and at the same time he misses (can't be) what he'll never be, i.e. something outside his identity just to please everyone - not that he thinks the others are superior, he just doesn't want to feel alone. Like everyone else, he needs the others. "I torch my soul to show the world..." That ain't pretty or purifying at all. It's self-destruction and self-denial, faking it only to be recognized, accepted, even if it means you can't be yourself to achieve that. After all, to torch is a pretty extreme verb, right? But deep inside, he wants to stop that. "No more lies". The second verse is about being rejected, "wearing a mark of scorn to you". This could be making a reference to parents, people at school, friends, lovers - just about any kind of others. The point is, he's rejected, seen as a beast, hence the horns and the mark. It's a deformed image, distorted reality, an image that he (wrongly) sees of himself and thinks that the others see as well. Lack of self-esteem, let's say. As for the rest of the song, it could simply be a suicide (an escape) or growing over those problems, those "voices inside me". He'll soon find himself alone to be himself, whether by killing himself or by overcoming the whole thing. Those are my two cents. It's hard not to feel the song talks about you, because it's brilliant. And the music is excellent, like a mantra of distorsion. Hits like a hammer. |
|
| Paul McCartney – Riding To Vanity Fair Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Have you noticed how bitter this song is? Not a Macca trademark, indeed. Riding to Vanity Fair would mean that the former friend became shallow, vain, gained vanity. I don't know if it's John - after all, Here Today says a very different thing. Paul could have met someone else who did these things in the 25+ years after Lennon's murder, couldn't he? |
|
| Paul McCartney – Fine Line Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Maybe it's aimed toward himself. After all, with this album Paul hit a new peak, it's like he's finally back on form after Linda's death and all that stuff. Sounds like standing up again. |
|
| Sonic Youth – Junkie's Promise Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It doesn't have to be a drug, there are many ways of being a junkie, like parental failures, burdens of the past, problems with relationships. Sometimes people just get stuck to many things in vicious circles that go nowhere, always disappointing the ones they care for since they can't get past the problem, regardless if chemical, psychological, etc. That's the whole point of a "junkie's promise": They can't promise anything contrary to their addiction (whatever that is), for it won't let them do so. Hence the self-hate and the limited view of others as either "helpers" or people who won't care about them. This concept seems to fit not only Kurt Cobain's story but also that of gratefultsui, or rimiska and melonforecstasy's ideas. Despite having no lyrics, the ending always felt very sinister to me, like a suicide, a sudden break of the circle. One of the best songs in Washing Machine! |
|
| Queens of the Stone Age – I Never Came Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Why a woman, why a simple romance? I think it's about Oliveri. Not in a romantic way, but he's getting things off his chest regarding their lost friendship. He sounds quite bitter here, as if defending himself from being accused. The bed is a metaphor for complying to shit Josh must have seen in Nick until he couldn't stand it anymore. He never "came", never enjoyed the whole thing. It always sounded, whenever I listened to the album, as its centerpiece. |
|
| Pixies – Crackity Jones Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
For those who get kicks out of funny language twists, Paco is a common nickname for Francisco, which is the Spanish version of... Francis. I think the Pedro Picapiedra version is the correct one, but wasn't that fun?? As for the song, yeah, it's all about a crazy roommate of Frank's. It sounds like a fucking speed rush indeed, kinda scary. I love how he puts all those Spanish words (some with a fairly reasonable accent) in the verses, then adding his trademark id-channeling screams and barks in the lightning-fast chorus. Kudos to Joey for coming up with a mangled squeal during those chorus... Classic. |
|
| Sonic Youth – Massage The History Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It sounds as some kind of memory to a lost person as well, like a lost lover, although considering Kim's married to Thurston, it's quite unlikely. The "all the money is gone" part sounds like an ironic twist. Don't expect much drama from this band! Spectacular song. |
|
| Faith No More – Take This Bottle Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Perhaps the most elegant regret song ever. The idea of an alcoholic asking his wife/gf/love to go away with the bottle itself (a symbolic act more than anything else) so he feels the pain of what he's done to her fits right in for me. This is perhaps Mike's "cleanest" singing ever. Everytime he hits the high notes on "IIIIIIIIIIII can waaaiit" it cracks me up. |
|
| Frank Black – Ten Percenter Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Basically he's talking about an idiot, or something adolescent, juvenile... He uses 10% of his brain, his mind is like an ocean (meaning it "floats around", no actual use), just eating and having some kind of sex (it could be masturbating, simple sex... anything). One of my favorite FB songs indeed, with the distorted beginning, that alien riff and his vocal jump "but if you wanna wile AWHIIIIIIIIIIIIIILE!" |
|
| Green Day – Waiting Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
what you might mean may be that on the "well I'm much closer..." the melody is ominous, made of descending semitones. It's brief, but quite clear! Play it without vocals - yourself, or with an audio recording program - and you will get the idea. |
|
| Raul Seixas – Ouro De Tolo Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| With quite a depiction of his life, actually. | |
| Raul Seixas – Ouro De Tolo Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I'd say it's about avoiding conformism. It's a little depressive, yes, but he's mostly self-questioning, also providing some social commentary between the lines. One of his best songs. |
|
| The Beatles – Mean Mr. Mustard Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Love the triplets at the end... Such a dirty old man... And perfect management of barely a minute. And yes, the whole medley (and specially the trio Mustard-Pam-Bathroom Window) is simply perfect, rolls on without a single flaw. |
|
| Beck – Volcano Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It's the perfect ending for the album and the theme of "Modern Guilt" itself, I think. He feels tired and almost hopeless, after all he's seen in the other songs of the album, and the worlds is pretty much going to hell for him. He notices we're halfway there, but what to do? Suicide, like the Japanese girl? What did she get by that, he wonders. He knows he and all of mankind are going to that volcano, but at the end he decides he doesn't want to do the same, he has some hope for this world after all. The whole album has some sort of underlying themes about how this planet is going to hell, and Volcano is like a final reflection on it. I haven't thought much about Scientology here, but if you think about the lyrics as reflecting a loss of faith in something (the world, mankind, religion) it can fit. |
|
| Faith No More – Get Out Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I'm with GotMeNow... The guy's maturing, he doesn't have the same problems he had (nor the same reactions, "I don't speak that language anymore") but possibly some new challenges, and he's a bit scared of it all since it's unknown to him... Though he seems to know it's the right thing, even if it's 'no fun'. |
|
| Foo Fighters – I'll Stick Around Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
IMO, this is not about a particular person in general, but about a figure. This means, someone or a kind of person in a general way. I could relate it to Kurt - "I had no other hand in your ever desperate plan", Courtney - "how could it be I'm the only one who sees your rehearsed insanity", and even my own parents. He's railing against someone he really doesn't like. But the great thing about it is that you can even choose who. |
|
| Sonic Youth – Poison Arrow Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| But, if it's a reference to cupid, why would the arrow have poison in it? Cupid didn't have that. | |
| Sonic Youth – Youth Against Fascism (Hate Song) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| As for "The song I hate", replace "song" for "situation" or something similar and it's easy to see it. | |
| Sonic Youth – Youth Against Fascism (Hate Song) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
For me, this is simply an anti-hate song. The guy's talking about all the shitty time during 1991-1992, all the violence and hate out there (the L.A. 1992 riots spring to mind), even making references to the Anita Hill case and the first Gulf War, which is the "shit (that) went out of luck" for Bush senior. He takes some lines to bash people and organizations who use hate as a basis for their actions (Nazis, KKK, etc). It's like a portrait of the U.S. burning down in 1992, the general feel at the time. Something easily reflected in almost all of Dirty. Brilliant. |
|
| Nirvana – Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| And yes, the part of "she'll come back as fire.." it could be the only actual reference to Farmer, but I don't think that she is the subject of this song. | |
| Nirvana – Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think that the lyric that says it all is the chorus. If he's missed the comfort in being sad, what's left for him to do? Link it to the mournful, resigned 'All Apologies' and you have an ending... Not only from an album. The verses speak about disconnection with other people, not only Courtney. He sees nothing as really lasting. The title comes as mockery on the typical one-word song titles from most alternative rock albums of the time. I don't think it has a particular meaning rather than that. It's one of the song that makes me look at In Utero as a concept, even though it's just vignettes without a libretto. |
|
| Sonic Youth – JC Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
What a tribute, indeed. It sounds like that from second one, and it's oddly touching. One of those songs that refuses to be described with lots of words, as it's damn simple. |
|
| Sonic Youth – 100% Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Wow, really clear, un-messy lyrics. It's a final message to JC... tucked at the beginning of the album. Perfectly mood-setting, and such an unsettling, tense mood it is! Nothing like beginning an album with such a statement, it's almost conceptual in nature. It's kinda like saying 'fuck rock n' roll lifestyle' by rocking out, I think. The way the distorted bass blasts off the G note after the drum break (not the C, that comes first - the second note) gives me chills. |
|
| Sonic Youth – Poison Arrow Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
The end of this song is plain BRILLIANT. It shows that no matter how inaccessible for the mainstream or far away from rock SY gets, you can still say they fucking rock. As for the meaning, I'll see it later. |
|
| Sonic Youth – Antenna Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Agree. Pretty much as the chorus says, not commenting here is like going to waste, heh. I was thinking that the "girl" portrayed by Thurston here could be youth itself. After all, he's past 50... And he's speaking about someone who goes away quickly and is quite intense. Just a thought. |
|
| Green Day – Horseshoes and Handgrenades Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think exactly the same than boses. Up to 21 Guns it's killer, but then I didn't like American Eulogy and See The Light doesn't the job of ending... But maybe this was made on purpose. This song seems to talk about being ready to fight... But 21 Guns pretty much destroys this fighter, who's far too self-destructive to triumph. |
|
| Green Day – Before the Lobotomy Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Yes, davidecoyote , this is Green Day playing with time signatures (mixing 7/8 verses all over the heavy parts), as well as a little with harmony. Awesome, never thought I'd see that happening. My favorite from the album. As for the song, it's pretty much a memory from a lost past in one of the characters, how everything went to waste, and now how he's a mess trying to deal with it. |
|
| Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks – We Can't Help You Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Agree. Just having nowhere to stay or run, simply realizing there's nothing working as a parameter or criteria for your life to make it trascendent, significant or important for the world. Not very happy, but oddly enough the music sounds comforting. Followed by Wicked Wanda on the album, it's a 1-2 knockout punch to finish it off! |
|
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Silverfuck Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Could this be the same girl he always crawls back to in "Soma"? If so, Siamese Dream is indeed far more conceptual that what it seems. It's easy to label it as such, though, since most of the songs relate to similar themes which were being explored by Billy when he wrote the songs, regardless of how 'conceptual' he wanted to get. Sonically it's brilliant. He even mantains only one note (D) for most of the entire 8:43. The bass and the guitars only play D's for about 70% of the song. The only exceptions are some isolated parts, like a solo-like rhythm figure played by one of the guitars. Proof positive that you don't need very complex things to make a long, great song. |
|
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Silverfuck Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
It's not very complex and makes sense as the climax - or one of several climaxes - in Siamese Dream. It pretty much explains that after a very bad breakup, he's finally - furiously - trying to move on, mostly out of rage. He exaplins a bit of how ruined he got after it (mostly because he put a lot of himself on making things work), and how now she's 'dead' to him, not talking about killing her. He even takes some time to bash on her, that part of lying to herself, out of that nihilistic wrath Corgan suffered back at the time - part of many of his best songs. As for the bit coming before the song's intro, I'd rather take it as a representation of the disconnection between them two. After all, what the woman says has to do with her and this guy who masturbates having serious disconnections as lovers. Something got between them, just like Billy and this person, even if in Billy's case it isn't masturbation. |
|
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Soma Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Also, the lyrics imply that they tried to fix things several times ("Didn't want to lose you once AGAIN") but to no avail. Maybe they got back together a couple of times to try. The title has to do with repression: Both the need to avoid pain by blaming the girl (the opiate of blame itself) and the denial of what he was going through after they broke up soothing his feelings. Curiously, it is here that all of that ends, since from the beginning he is forced to admit his faults and the demise of the relationship ("Nothing left to say"). Sonically, it's a masterpiece. The shift from the peaceful parts to the army of distortion is perfect and self-explanatory. Pain has come once again, and like most people after breakups, he feels like shit and the world just makes no sense. The return to the clean section might mean that even after he acknowledges the truth, he keeps repressing himself in order to avoid that pain. I don't see a specific connection to drugs here. |
|
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Soma Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
A girl left him because he wasn't good enough to her eyes (couldn't keep up to what they wanted, the 'promises made of tin'), and now he tries to come into terms with it, admits his faults - even pointing out that he blamed her to feel better and avoid bad feelings, 'the opiate of blame'. Now he's given up to sadness, and pain, greatly expressed in those guitars, and the self-bashing things. I don't know if he's yearning for her here, in my opinion he just discovered things didn't work and he had a role in all of that, so the pain mostly comes from that awful discovery. Classic description of a post-breakup phase. And what a solo. |
|
| Talking Heads – Happy Day Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| And that leads to a "happy day"? hehe I'm seriously asking it, no joke here. | |
| The Clash – Lost in the Supermarket Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
The workout at the end of the song, just as it fades out totally, is excellent. Terrific bass line there and in the rest of the song as well. That ryhthm section is tight as hell! And about its meaning, it's clear that it's about an allegory for a difficult life. I don't see it much in a commercialism-bashing dimension, but rather a depiction of a troubled life and the many things that must be dealt with. The character supposedly did everything right, correctly (the cupons, the giant discotheque album), played by the rules and yet he finds out that he's empty or somehow troubled because of something that he doesn't understand. That generates the idea of feeling lost in the "supermarket", taking it as a metaphor of everyday life. He can't understand what's going on and that stops the normal flow of his days (the "shopping"). He has some hints in his mind - the people screaming, the lack of attention towards him - but he can't figure it out fully, therefore being "lost". I've felt like this on many times, suddenly it's like you can't get to do what you were doing everyday and it's because of something that's lacking in you, and those voids aren't easy to fill. But this doesn't sound so depressing or terrible, which is really great for a song. |
|
| Queens of the Stone Age – I'm Designer Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Just one correction: The "DUH" comes after "I go home and jerk off!", right before the chorus. | |
| Queens of the Stone Age – I'm Designer Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
What a marvel! This thing manages to both rock out, pack some laughs and leave you thinking. Homme's vocal deilvery is perfect, from the ridiculous falsetto up to the thrashy, irreverent delivery. I plain love the 'UH' he signs after "in shit', both tough and hilarious. But my fave is (and will always be) that 'I'm one of a kind - I'm designer!!". It's both ironic and serious - he designs some pretty nice music, being a hell of a producer. Producing music is some kind of design to me. And yes, it seems to be speaking about 'selling out', how stupid he thinks the concept is, adding some talking about 'his generation', namely fellow 'music artists', hipsters, etc. It's also about recycling yourself, doing always the same to sell something, which QOTSA certainly has NOT done - there aren't two albums from them that sound alike! It's been two years since I listened to this and I still get kicks out of it. It's one of the best songs in Era Vulgaris - a great album, by the way! |
|
| The Velvet Underground – White Light/White Heat Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
It sounds a speed / meth ad, must have been a total shock for 1968. I particularly love that ugly background noise during the verses - the guitar. Next to a Jerry Lee Lewis-like piano pounding, it's the perfect match. |
|
| Weezer – Falling For You Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
TheSilverNoble, if you don't know about guitaring, maybe I can give you a hand. The song's main feature is extensive modulation, which means, the guys changes the scale several times. Said like this it means nothing, but let me explain. This means that, instead of using three of four chords, he uses 12! different ones, which is a lot. To give you an example, grab your music player and switch fast between the first verse and the last one, the one that comes after the solo ( starting "I can't believe how...") . Even if you never heard anything about modulation, you'll recognize that he's signing in a different melody. It 'feels' different. The solo itself is in another scale, but that's harder to get. So the guy's no 'little three-chord ol' me', but rather a quite accomplished guitarist indeed. Pinkerton's filled with those quirks, and with some great soloing too, all by Rivers. But the lyrics ring true if you think about them in the context of the story told by the characters. In a self-deprecating way, he has no self-esteem next to her, therefore he says that he sucks, what could she see in him? So pretty much the point is: He's doing some self-bashing in the lyrics. (The line IS clever indeed!) |
|
| David Bowie – Life on Mars? Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
In my opinion, it's an anthem for all those who are seen as weirdos or freaks. Mars itself - a strange planet far far away - is a metaphor for not fitting with others. Therefore, the lyrics are really escapist, although then it just rampages through weird political mentions and whatever. |
|
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Behold! The Night Mare Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
A loss - considering the time frame when this was composed, I'd say such loss would be the death of his mother, although the lyrics are ambiguous enough to fit into a simple breakup - hits him really hard, and he doesn't know how to escape from the sorrow that haunts him every day, hence the 'I can't go on digging roses from your grave'. With the loss, Billy doesn't know how to escape or how to retain the love from that lost person. He mentions how he did everything for her, enduring personal hell (the braces in your deep), loneliness (withstanding suitors), trying whatever that was possible and more (pulling down heavens), yet it was in vain. In a moment of pain, he thinks that all this person has to do is to go away swiftly - just 'become a mystery to gaze into, to run away' - but it's isn't possible, he can't get her out of his head. He even finds it unfair: 'You're so cruel'. The nightmare - pain - still rides on for him, as he can't seem to find a way to grief over the loss. That person demanded/meant much for him and that leaves him destroyed, but he is aware of the fact that this can't go on, he can't linger on the pain forever. It's no coincidence that this leads into 'For Martha', since there he finishes grieving. It's 13 minutes in total of pure, pure Corgan genius. |

| Nine Inch Nails – Somewhat Damaged Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Which, by the way, come represented in the form of that synth? that ends the song abruptly. Genius. | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Somewhat Damaged Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Yeah, now that I say it... It's indeed about some bastard that fucked Reznor off during those dark years from 1994 to 1999. Then he receives the news. | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Somewhat Damaged Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song is indeed a sample of Reznor's huge musical talents. To build a song out of 4 notes played almost carelessly is quite a feat, but how he develops the idea is simply fascinating. It starts off with just a guitar, then develops pure tension for some verses and then explodes. The fury is enhanced by what seems like waves... He signs several screaming verses, you hear a 0.1 sec FULL STOP and then it blows again. Impressive, always with a mid-slow pace. I particularly like the point where some really weird-shit synth creeps up with the layers and layers of guitars. It's perfect music-engineering, and it drives the point home. I recently thought - couldn't this be about an idealized figure that falls down? But not in the sense of a betraying friend, think about someone he thought as a godlike figure - his grandmother, for example - and then he realizes that she's normal, flawed like every human. That often causes fury, it's a psychological process. But it's my two cents anyway, I also agree with the idea of seeing it as what people said, a continuation of the DS that ends up with him having the news that his grandma is terminally ill. |
|
| Nine Inch Nails – No, You Don't Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Those blistering, ultra-saturated chords at the end rock and are quite a shocking element. I agree with a guy who commented on many of the tracks of the album, in context this is how Trent feels by the death of her grandmother... And his sorrow turned into rage. It's not clear if it's aimed towards himself or others - after all, he banged on Manson hilariously well on "Starfuckers, Inc." - but it could be that. It could also be rage directed towards a person who betrayed him in a way - pretty much like the target of "Somewhat Damaged". |
