Florence + the Machine – What the Water Gave Me Lyrics 10 years ago
I was wrong on this. The lyrics are "A beast of a burden". It makes sense either way, but those are the official lyrics.

Band of Horses – The First Song Lyrics 10 years ago
I agree, I just imagine some guy struggling to deal with the holidays and his family/coworker gatherings. Getting drunk, getting cut off in traffic by people rushing to buy shit. The beauty of Christmas.

Empire of the Sun – Disarm Lyrics 10 years ago
Does anyone else think the lyrics above are extremely off? I did not submit those, but those took place of my lyrics because that is what the copywrite holder provided or something. This is what I'm hearing:

"The audience, come on dance
Push it just enough
Ancient hands, distant lands
Take a chance my love

River ran, past the rocks
to the waterfall
Piece of man, life began
spirit up above

Way beyond, the cliff tops
Where it meets the blue sea
Just beyond further still
where you left me

Disarm now
Disarm your armies
and beat the sun
Just like this now
days in the sun

Artifact, secret kept
wisdom passed along
The audience, stopped and danced
as they looked around

Way beyond, the cliff tops
Where it meets the blue sea
Just beyond further still
where you met me

Disarm now
Disarm your armies
and beat the sun
Just like this now
days in the sun

Whisper now
I don't want to hear about that
Just go easy now
I don't want to play it like that

Oh just come back, no baby run back
Don't waste another minute of your heartache
Oh just come back, no baby run back
Just come back

Disarm now
Disarm your armies
and beat the sun
Just like this now
days in the sun"

Metric – Too Little Too Late Lyrics 12 years ago
I think you guys are over analyzing the song. I think this is just about a fling (possibly with a fellow band member considering she mentions areas like the "band room") that resulted in some bitter/cynical feelings. There are definitely metaphors (paper fingers), but a lot of it just seems to be referencing specific events and objects.

Also a "ride" is part of a drum set, which I think makes sense considering it's in the band room.

deadmau5 – Ghosts 'n Stuff (feat. Rob Swire) Lyrics 12 years ago
I'm pretty drunk but I don't think these lyrics are right. I think this is mostly correct:

It's been so long I've been out of my body with you
I feel alone, feel at home, feel like nothing is true
She took me to a place where my senses gave way
Turnin' round shuttin down what the people say
Climin' up killin' time let em give you some
Take my hand and let it come, let it come, let it

Take it back when she knows that you're doin' it right
'Cause everybody else knows what they're taking tonight

But I just wanna play it right
When you gonna get there tonight

It's been so far, I've been walkin' the line on my own
Lift me up to the stars we are coming home
I only had a taste but we're out of time
We are sold on the cold physical design
Set me free, set me out on the run
Lift me up, to the sun, to the sun, to the

We are burnin' down, we are burnin' down
It's the way that you fake I know it's too late

But I just wanna play it right
When you gonna get there tonight
I just wanna take you down
When they gonna bring you around

I just wanna play it right
When you gonna get there tonight
I just wanna take you down
When they gonna bring you around

Florence + the Machine – What the Water Gave Me Lyrics 12 years ago
"And oh, poor Atlas
The world's a beast of a burden
You've been holding on a long time"

I'm pretty sure is

"And oh, poor Atlas
was a beast of burden
You've been holding up a long time"

Atlas is the beast of burden, not the world.

Serj Tankian – Sky Is Over Lyrics 15 years ago
Based on the lyrics, the most I can assume is this song may be about the global implications of monkeys throwing their feces and how it effects the war on terrorism.

Ozzy Osbourne – No More Tears Lyrics 17 years ago
I was trying to figure out what that spoken part in the middle of the song was about so I Googled "a hand in the bush". That was a mistake...

Pink Floyd – Yet Another Movie Lyrics 17 years ago
A lot of this song sounds like it could be referring to cinema in general, and the "He has laughed and he has cried
he has fought and he has died
he's just the same as all the rest,
he's not the worst, he's not the best" part to a specific actor, implying that all the roles he's played in have still done nothing to make him stand out from any other actor.

Bob Marley and the Wailers – More Axe Lyrics 17 years ago
There are more lyrics at the beginning of the song. Something like "White folks said I serve almighty man, Play it smart and not being clever." But it's a bit difficult to pick out exactly was he's saying afterward. I'm pretty sure this song is about how African American's who were kept as slaves will eventually topple the white man through unity, i.e. "If you are a big tree, we are the small axe, sharpened to cut you down...". He also refers to some words of wisdom that his master gave him including "whosoever digith a pit, shall fall in it" implying that slave owners have been digging a pit and are destined to be punished for their actions.
