| Dave Matthews Band – Captain Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I personally beleive that this song is about a fued between Dave Matthews and another band member(s). If you look at the lyrics it's pretty easy to see, plus the time period was a very dark time for the band as a whole. With the "I am the captain, of this ship" I see this as the record label and some band members saying the album is taking a dark direction, where Dave is saying he is leading this band and "it's for no one but me to say, What direction I should turn in now". Also the lyrics "There's mutiny brewing inside of me now." not to long after Dave and Boyd did there solo thing for awhile. Just read over the whole song, it's all there. Like, "Why should I be hypnotized, By the promise of a long life?" I see that as the pressure of the record label pushing "Everyday" "Why should I be hypnotized, by the promise of a long life?" saying if the band does these up beat pop songs it will apeal a bigger audience and a longer life in the music business. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Raven Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Father equals God. Son equals mankind. The theme is how mankind takes God (more specifically, organized religion), and uses it for his own empowerment. The Man is “twisting”, because mankind has twisted the message of God. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Monkey Man Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This song is about humankind’s relentless, however ironic, pursuit of utopia. While humans “build higher, still higher” and “dig deeper down to the ground till its found” in an attempt to make their world better, they are in reality only fooling themselves, by destroying the gift that is Earth. “Crazy, crazy, Monkey Man, who is the one in the middle?” is borrowed from the children’s game “monkey in the middle.” We think that the world is our property, that it is essentially “in the middle,” when in fact, we as humans are the ones getting the short end of the stick in the long run because of our actions. Global warming. | |

Hey golden boy with your hair hanging down Oh such a lovely world if you're wearing a crown What will you do when the gold turns to grey? Wear all the wigs that you find to hide yourself away Sometimes desire to be hidden away Away from the screams and of the voices of the day Wouldn't deaf be nice, to be quiet like a church mouse All looking for cheese and all you find is holy wine I have a dream to be a plastic superhero And I would wear my plastic cape and I'd flap along A big old zero When I walk no forces would win against my proton plastic power And all, and someday I'd wave my plastic asshole and I'm over All know the song, your hands in the cookie jar What all of later wait, you get what you can now Oh but don't complain when the cookie jar echoes thin No more sweet treats for you and I will solve this all again Oh and I would love I dream to be a spaceman in a chair, oh And I would blow away all the dark forces And I'd wear in front a big zero All night long oh I desire And go fast as the speed of light travel, And no enemy could withstand the plastic powers would save us all over |

| Dave Matthews Band – #34 Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Dedicated to the memory of Miguel Valdez (Hepatitis, 1993), the song had more of a love tone before becoming more of a lament on death. | |
| Dave Matthews – Stay Or Leave Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| A more reminiscent lost love tale then the average Dave written song; The song uses a day as an allusion to life. The opening line tells that the song is sung in a positive light, i.e., some of the memories, ‘maybe different’, but ‘remember’ the positive times. The singer is aware that the lost love is better off without him, but the pain is still present. ‘Wake up naked…’ represents birth, with the coffee reference as an awaking to the world. ‘The rest of the days afternoon…’ represents midlife, pondering how the singer will continue now that the love is gone. Time becomes insignificant, because every day remains ‘…the day you went away’. | |

| Dave Matthews Band – The Dreaming Tree Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This DMB song is about, Questioning faith in the eyes of death is the message of this complex song. Beginning with the “If I had the faith to…” calls out God directly, sighting the things that the person has done, despite the death of this loved one. The Dreaming Tree is that happy place, figuratively or literally, where everything is all right in the world. Speculation over the identity of the deceased person is rampant due to the masking ambiguity of the song. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Dancing Nancies Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Dave was inspired during a trip to Zimbabwe, Dave found himself in the middle of nowhere and devised the song. A Dancing Nancie (or more accurately Nancy) is a slang term for a transvite prostitute in parts of France, Belgium, and Spain. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – #41 Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
The song is about, When DMB was just starting out, Dave had a business relationship with a Charlottesville, VA lawyer named Ross Hoffman. Hoffman was one of the first who encouraged Dave to form a band, and he owned the famous Pink Warehouse (as in the song "Warehouse). The contract between the two pertained to the publishing rights of the band's songs, which were controlled by the company the two founded, called Colden Grey, Ltd. In 1995, after the band had become a hit with Under The Table & Dreaming, which had sold several million copies, Hoffman sued Dave for partial control over the publishing rights to the songs that were under the Colden Grey name. The two eventually settled out of court, but Dave was shaken by what he felt was the betrayal of an old friend, and the experience led to the lyrics of #41. As for the title, it simply reflects the song's place in the order of songs the band had written (i.e., it was the 41st song written by the band). |
