Lady GaGa – Poker Face Lyrics | 15 years ago |
Gaga herself explains the meaning of the song on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVxv_x1Olvg So there is no need to argue about what it means:) And yes, it is about her wanting to be with a woman, even though she is dating a man...enjoy |
Metallica – The Memory Remains (feat. Marianne Faithfull) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
I've always had a theory that this song was about Guns N' Roses, specifically ripping on Axl Rose, because James doesn't like Axl....especially considering Axl stood Metallica up the day James burned...and "The Memory Remains" refers to that memory Fortune, fame Mirror vain Gone insane But the memory remains ** Pretty much sums Axl up to a T...GN'R went to hell because Axl overtook the band and believed that he was the whole band Heavy rings on fingers wave Another star denies the grave See the nowhere crowd Cry the nowhere tears of honor ** The rings could refer to Axl's excessive jewelry, and the star denying the grave would be Hetfield because he some how managed to not die from the stage mishap...at the time when the song was written, GN'R was already split up and had their "nowhere crowd", also referring to Axl as the faded prima donna (a pun against him as a female...there's even a backstage video of Hetfield referring to Axl as scrawny and girly) Heavy rings hold cigarettes Up to lips that time forgets While the Hollywood sun sets Behind your back ** Again, this should be pretty obvious given Axl's cigarette habits and then reason Axl gave for standing Metallica up the night Hetfield burned was because his voice (due to his heavy cigarette smoking)...Hollywood is where GN'R took off and were at one time called "Hollywood Rose" And can't the band play on Just listen, they play my song Ash to ash Dust to dust Fade to black ** This is what really strikes me..."and can't the band play on?" Hetfield asks...a riot occured that night GN'R refused to "play on"....Metallica couldn't play on because Hetfield burned (ash to ash, dust to dust), during the song Fade to Black (what a coincidence) Dance little tin goddess ** Could be another female pun against Axl...and we've probably all seen him doing his weird dances and sways on stage as he performs |
Billy Idol – Rebel Yell Lyrics | 15 years ago |
Clearly it's about him getting laid by a young stripper/hooker who he pays and he has fallen in love with, but she doesn't want to settle down. People just need to read the lyrics and stop trying to find something that isn't there...if you've ever listened to Billy talk he is no Shakespeare and I'm sure he doesn't have too many hidden meanings... ****** Last night a little dancer- the young stripper/hooker Last night a little angel came pumping- he's obviously boning her (not getting a BJ) With a rebel yell, more, more, more- again, she's gettig laid and she's a rebel given her lifestyle She don't like slavery- she doesn't want to be tied down What set you free, I need you here by me- he obviously wants her but can't have her He lives in his own heaven- he fools himself into being satisfied just because he gets to screw her I'd sell my soul, for money to burn- he wants to continue to pay her if that's all he can do to feel like he is actually with her...even though she continues her rebel lifestyle |
