Nope, but I know who Spock is. :D It amuses me to no end that a song this intense it a Star Trek reference. |

| Stroke 9 – Little Black Backpack Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think you may be misinterpreting those lines. I think the "smack" is pretty literal in this case, as in he hit the guy. | |

| Didn't she have dog-head men in her "Number 1" video too? Maybe she just has a thing for furries. | |

| David Bowie – Space Oddity Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think it's interesting to note that "the papers want to know whose shirts [he] wear[s]" and not how he is doing... | |

| Me too. Long before I even knew what all the words were, I got the distinct impression of melancholy and isolation. | |
| Barenaked Ladies – One Week Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| HAH! I just wrote an analytical essay about Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood" for my Shakespeare class. My brain was melting and this song made me feel better...damn samurai... | |
| Donovan – Universal Soldier Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| But in all seriousness, why the hell haven't these lyrics been fixed? It's such an eyesore, it's almost painful to read them. :p | |
| Donovan – Universal Soldier Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The message of this song is basically: violence cannot be stopped with more violence, it's completely illogical to believe otherwise. Even if one thinks a cause just, like "fighting for one's country," he points out that war is still the wrong way to solve this problem. He seems to continue with: soldiers should stop blindly following orders from commander's far away from the battlefields in cushy offices; army's should be dismantled. And, we should all ban together to find peaceful solutions to out problems. What a dirty hippy Donovan is. This song is brilliant and true. |

| Donovan – Season of the Witch Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I definitely think it has something to do with paranoia, like he can feel something bad is about to happen to him. It keeps him looking over his shoulder. But it may also be an insubstantial fear based on superstition and imagined dangers. And I heartily agree with Karatepop, Donovan's voice is love. Anybody who hasn't, needs to listen to "Universal Soldier." | |

| "Blood confetti." enough said. This song and this band are righteous. | |
| Jay-Z – Dirt Off Your Shoulder Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song follows the tradition of rap songs about kids with nothing suddenly making millions, in spite of the opposition they faced along the way. "All the rappers be hatin, off the track that I'm makin/ But all the hustlers they love it just to see one of us make it." Like in early British (Celtic) Literature, the point of the song is telling people all the great places he's been to perform and the things he's won with his success, in an attempt to prove his worth: "Came from the bottom the bottom, to the top of the charts/ Nigga London, Japan and I'm straight off the block." There is a sweet remix of this song with Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony." It's truely an existentialist masterpiece. They pair up Jay Z's success with the lines about being overly tied to material possessions: "Trying to make end's meat/ You're a slave to money until you die." Especially with Jay Z's boasts about his progress juxtaposed with the chorus "No change, I can't change/ I'm here in my mold... I can't change my mold/ No, no, no, no, no." I know you'll be as a amazed by it as I was. You should go out and download it. Right now. It's okay I'll wait. |

| Cibo Matto – Birthday Cake Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I'd like to believe this song is definitely about the message, "can't we all just get along?"...and possibly drugs may help. Most of it is the worst recipe for cake in the world, rivaling only "Die Eier Von Satan." The rest of it is the cake as a metaphor for her love for her son. They seem to have a disharmonious relationship and she hopes a peace offering will smooth things over. Except for when she digresses to the 60' and how the war was bad but people did LSD and life went on. "C'est le vie" here I think has more of the "shit happens" tone. Which makes me feel the subtext to that is also that one must not take life so seriously, hence all the incredibly strange ingredients of the recipe (the last addition of course is pot). And let's not forget the conclusion that her love is "moldy." My conclusion? I Love this song. |

| Luscious Jackson – Naked Eye Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I definitely agree about the bad relationship. She seems almost hesitant to bring up the problems because it will most likely lead to a breakup. In the end she realizes that if she doesn't address the issues she'll continue to dwell on the problems. "if i let the moment fly i knew they'd all be magnified" She seems to feel better about the closer she received. "Naked" is a great metaphor for honesty. "Wearing nothing is divine naked is a state of mind" Honesty with her lover, thus with herself gives her a warm glowy feeling of major accomplishment. As a side note: I FREAKING love this song... Also (but completely unrelated): The version of this song I have starts with the chorus-jumps to "Last night I came into your home..." --"It's not a choice I tried to make..."--chorus2--"Came around after dark..."--chorus--"It feels alright." with "Naked is a state of mind." and the chorus. This is the first I've heard of the "Wearing nothing is divine..." verse. |

| Horrorpops – Drama Queen Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I think the line is "get your heart out of your crotch"... Heh, the lyrics to this song are hysterical I have known several of these people, serial monogamist. Day two into their relationship they are in love and have found the person that they are going to marry, but within a month they can't stand the person. I also love how catchy the bass is! Horrorpops rock! |

I'm glad I'm not the only pervert that thought an "electric lover" could be a vibrator. XD Especially after that "when you send me a pulse/feel a wave of new love" line. But "dressed in white noise" is definitely my favorite line. |
