Say Anything – Skinny, Mean Man (feat. Pete Yorn) Lyrics 11 years ago
I think it's a song about his wife, Sherri and about the relationship she was in before they were married. How she was cheated on (she was with the guitarist of New Found Glory, and he cheated/left her for Hayley Williams), and left with a broken heart. Before they met she had said that she was not interested in anyone and didn't even want to think about talking to anyone because she was still grieving.
I think Max wrote this song in anger to her ex-husband and how he resents what he did to his (then) girlfriend, now wife. How he and "dead" Sherri are both out to kill this man because he had "killed" Sherri.
The ending though, I have no idea what the gasoline is about.

I feel like I'm accurate, but honestly Max is so intricate with his lyrics that it could be about anything!
Not a sandwich though.

Say Anything – Cemetery Lyrics 14 years ago
Correct lyrics...? Yes yes.


There's a cemetery deep below the sea
There is spaces reserved for fools like me
Tried to kill myself at least a dozen times
But nothing seemed to turn out right

Now I'd rather wait a half a century
Soiling the bed belligerent and wrinkly
Even when I go blind and lose my mind
Nothing seems to turn out right
Something's got to turn out right

If you want, then when we die
We'll ascend to some place way up high
The gate will show you through
If they ask me, I'm with you

You're in my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you
In my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you

There's no one who imagines like you
So convinced there's somewhere that we go to
Not a first class trip to the abyss
Tell me too you still feel this
Tell me too you still feel this

As I drown in lakes of fire,
I will call your name as I expire
It's the last thing that I'll do
I will tell them I'm with you

You're in my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you
In my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you

Falling asleep, asleep at the wheel
As I approach that cliff
I'm starting to feel
If you can wake me up, with only a touch
If I can die with you, life would be enough

And I'll face the one you made
My disgusting heart from a lump of clay
Should he ask what got me through?
If he asks me, it was you

You're in my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you
In my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you

Say Anything – Hate Everyone Lyrics 14 years ago
realllll lyrics:

when i was spat onto the earth in a stream of guts
by mother nature, that green-eyed slut
i wasn't the first to get forced from a cut
in one to whom i still shall stay stuck
staring from the cradle let my eyes take in
the baby-speak of my brain dead kin
their goo-goo goggles reflecting the grin
of a chub-faced alien

well if you think i'm being harsh
then baby keep on counting stars
because i hate everyone upon this cursed earth

then i grew a few hairs where the sun don't shine
they packed me in a classroom to count the time
studying the history of men's minds
chasing tail and committing hate crimes
rich hippie girl with a gas guzzler
forced myself to fall in love with her
she was so strung out she'd swear it never occurred
the honkey king went back on his word

the next one did the same
the blind leading the lame
all together now:
i hate everyone upon this cursed earth

how does it make you feel to be wanted?
how does it make you feel to be one of many?
how does it make you feel to be blunted?
how does it make you feel?

I hate:
Actors who seem genuine
My ex-girlfriend though she's feminine
The singer with the denim skin
That hospital in Texas
The rapper in the Lexus
The pills I ate for breakfast

I'm mired in hypocrisy yet i'm still down with JC
I guess that everyone includes me
And that's why I'm a humanist

This World Fair – Don't Make Me Wait (Disturbia Soundtrack) Lyrics 15 years ago
no, toyboat. that doesn't even seem relevant to what it is about. obviously, the boy doesn't want to wait for the girl to be with him, and he doesn't want to tell her that he doesn't want to wait for her because he doesn't want to upset her. he's telling her not to hesitate to jump into a relationship, because sooner or later he'll just give up on trying.

Say Anything – No Soul (feat. Anna Waronker) Lyrics 15 years ago
"You know very well, what you are,
Don't let it light you off.
You wear your scars,
I've had a few, but not that many.
But you're the only one,
Who gives me good and plenty."
-say anything

and

"You know very well who you are
Don't let em hold you down, reach for the stars
You had a goal, but not that many
'cause you're the only one I'll give you good and plenty"

The Fratellis – Whistle for the Choir Lyrics 15 years ago
i think it's about a boy and a girl, (obviously) and they were together for a while, until she broke it off. he's trying to get back with her, and she is giving him excuses (such as her being crazy, and him not caring or her saying "she's not lonely" when really she is) and he can see through them cause he knew they were "meant to be".



that's the way i see it, at least.

Two Tongues – Wowee Zowee Lyrics 15 years ago
obviously this is about a girl(maybe a guy, but chris seems like a girl in this song) and she/he won't let him go without a fight. and he (max) doesn't want to be with her anymore, and he's just getting annoyed by her. hence the "hey, hey! cut it out!" part.

Say Anything – Spores Lyrics 15 years ago
[I was watching Demolition Man
Talking dirty to a fan who likes my band
When I took a chance and called you up
You said you visit but you just don't give a fuck
So I had to put you in your place
Leave a look of shame upon your face
Stood accused for the last two years
I got off, I got off, I got off.]
Obviously, he is stating what he was doing, and after he got done doing that he called her.
She said she'd visit, but he knows she doesn't give a shit about him.
He was disappointed in her lie, and is ashamed of her.
He looks back on the relationship he had for two years, and is glad it's over.

[But I
Still miss you more, I miss you more than I
Ever did before you left your spores inside
Of my empty core, our baby's got your eyes
Now I miss you more, I miss you more tonight]
He still misses her, even though they're over.
He misses her more than when she first left
He is picturing their future, if there was going to be one, and if they had kids.

[Then you threw me up against the wall
The city shook to meet our mating call
All the anger and the pain poured forth
The act itself defied the blessed source
When you were finished you were done with me
You explained it wasn't meant to be
I should've known it when you howled his name
You got off, you got off, you got off.]
They fucked, after they were over. He was hoping for a new beginning
After they bumped uglies, she said it wasn't meant to be.
During sex, she yelled someone else's name, and he ignored it.
She is happy they're over, he's not.

[But I
Still miss you more, I miss you more than I
Ever did before you left your spores inside
When your gaze adorned the whore you left behind
Now I miss you more, I miss you more tonight]
He still misses her
She realizes that she was a whore, for fucking him and then leaving.

[You know I still know how, how much your love costs.
You know when I peel back your layered lip gloss.
You know I still know how to fuck your eyes crossed.
It's your loss.
It's your loss.]
He still cherishes her love, and their past relationship
When he kisses her, he loves it
When he fucks her, he loves it
But they're over, and it's her loss that she's missing out on a good guy



The end.

Ben Folds – Hiroshima Lyrics 15 years ago
I think this song is a big metaphor for him saying, "I'm falling in the music industry, and my only fans are in Japan. And when I am falling, can my fans in USA see what I am thinking? Do they want to know what's going on in my head, and why I am falling?"

Makes sense to me.

Radiohead – Nude Lyrics 15 years ago
WELL, to me this song is basically the opposite of nude. Like the first line, "Don't get any big ideas, they're not going to happen". You can't really get more self explanatory than that. If some people out there who cannot comprehend that line into what I am saying, it is basically saying that I am not getting naked, we are not having sex, so don't expect me to give in. And the last line also goes along, "You'll go to hell for what you're dirty mind is thinking."

Okay, maybe he is making this song a perspective from him, because in the bible (I don't know if Thom is religious or not) you are not supposed to look at a woman in a lustful way, or you'll go to hell.
So...


Rambling? I think so.

Thom Yorke – Videotape Lyrics 15 years ago
This song makes me think of my best friend Justin. And how I never got to say 'goodbye' to him when he left for the navy. I cry every time I hear it. Ya a bit sappy, but the one lyric, "This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
I'm talking to you after it's too late" Just reminds me of how I never got to say 'BUH BYE' to him, and when I did get the chance, it wouldn't have been face to face.

Shit. No song, and I mean, NO SONG, gets me crying except this one.


Damn you Thom.
Damn
You.

Coldplay – Fix You Lyrics 15 years ago
i heard this on the radio one day, and before they played it they said it was dedicated to all those in hurricane katrina and how they lost everything, but chris is just reassuring that everything will be okay, and that everything will be fixed one day.
it makes total sense now that i know that. right?
