Savage Garden – Affirmation Lyrics 15 years ago
I think the "I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed" means that you shouldn't marry someone for sex (the need to be undressed) rather for them (wedded bliss) or something along those lines.

I just listened to this song for the first time in ages, I really love some of the lyrics. Like, "I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality" or "I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists"

awesome song.

Superchick – Hero Lyrics 15 years ago
Does anyone else reckon the last verse

"no one talks to him about how he lives
he thinks that the choices he makes are just his
doesn't know he's a leader with the way he behaves
and others will follow the choices he's made
he lives on the edge, he's old enough to decide
his brother who wants to be him is just nine
he can do what he wants, because it's his right
the choices he makes change a nine year old's life"

is maybe referring to a guy (The 9yr old) who has maybe a brother whose in the the 'bad' stuff? Like drugs or shoplifting or something?

Otep – Nein Lyrics 15 years ago
My pain, my pride, these scars are mine
I will tell you a story
That's never been told
I wll tell you a secret
Five lifetimes old

Okay, my interpretation of these lines is self harm, and how the scars tell a story and share secrets which she couldn't verbalize at the time. Perhaps hinting at past abuses?

My life has been a prison
A labyrinth built beneath the mountain of tragedy
I'm a stain on the cloth
I'm just an after-thought
But I, Would die, For this

^ She's trapt by her emotions and the negatives of her life. She doesn't feel real.
But through the veins of decay
I'll remain to betray

^ Maybe she doesn't want to say, but her scars (marks on her veins) betray her.

To live like Caesar
To die like Jesus
To build my own religion
No gods, no laws

Maybe control? She wants control over others, to be a god. Have people see her and see her for what she wants them to.

To celebrate pain
Forsaken and ashamed
To watch them all
Crawl beneath us
On this bed of nails and regret
Dying of fevers, betrayal, and sweat
I cry

^ Perhaps a little jealos of those who have never had to deal with this stuff? She wants them to understand, but she doesn't at the same time ("I cry")

My organs are rotting
My enemies are plotting

^ Emotionally she's dying, and perhaps suffering from paranoia?

I am made of pages
Paragraphs and inspirations

^ She has a story.

Paper girl, burn the world
I pass the flame to you
Murder, mayhem, hurt her, hate him
Murder, mayhem, fuck her, slay them

^The negative aspects of the world. People are constantly hurting others, and people are hurting.

My pain, my pride, these scars are mine
My pain

^ A sense of 'realness' which her scars give her? She hurts herself, and it proves that she is here and exists. That she is hurting, and ho one can take that away.

My misery has been formulated into an equation of nein
My sanity wrote a suicide note but
One of us is illiterate
And the other is blind

My first act of treason was picking up a pen

^ Begins to let some of the negative stuff out in a healthier way. Instead of internilising it and self-harming, she gets the feelings out another way - through writing.

My first act of love was
Finding myself again

^ She's looking for who she, she's not letting the past define her anymore. She's no longer the vitcim.

The hardest thing to do
Was standing up to you

^ Standing up the the person who hurt her.

Now I'm off my knees
Now you're begging me please
I'm the wound and the weapon
The fracture and the fist

^ She's threatening to tell on the person who hurt her. She has the power now and is no longer as afraid.


My organs are rotting
My enemies are plotting
I am made of pages
Paragraphs and inspirations
Paper girl, burn the world
I pass the flame to you
Murder, mayhem, hurt her, hate him
Murder, mayhem, fuck her, slay them

^ Still dealing with everything else as well.

That stabbing in your heart
That black hole in your soul
Slowly ripping you apart
That's me
So let it be written
So let it be done
The brighter they shine
The darker we become
Vae victus, abomination

Amanda Palmer – Runs in the Family Lyrics 16 years ago
Yeah, chill iggy1110 . These lyrics are fine for the moment. shesh.

I reckon this song is about mental illness and how it runs in the family.

"This family that carries me to such great lengths to open my legs up for anyone who'll have me. It runs in the family, I came by it honestly, do what you want who knows it might fill me up"

I think that this paragraph might be referring to a person with borderline personality disorder. people usually develop it because the have a dysfunctional family. plus, promiscuity is a feature of the disorder as is a feeling of emptiness, thus the 'fill me up'
