| Regina Spektor – Jessica Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| My first impulse was that this song is about someone with depression. It's something I can relate to - the idea of hiding in bed in the hopes that the world will go on without you, while you don't live your life and don't get older. And the singer, who has been with her for a while, knows that a song or a melody can't help her. The best she can do is ask, and be there for her, in the hopes that she can rouse her from her depression. | |

| Electric Guest – American Daydream Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Some small corrections: 'Almost fed-up' instead of 'Almost better' 'After it all, it's still reparable/I know that I've forgotten my history' instead of 'After it all, it's still repairable/I know, that I forgot my history.' 'Let's wave goodbye to all the terrible' instead of 'Let's wake about are all that terrible.' 'If we could only dole it out and agree' instead of 'If we could only, don't need doubt and agree.' 'But they sell us all the bait/The western way, I go berserk, I go' instead of 'But they sell us all the bathe/And it's the way I go berserk I know.' You might add in the 'go, go, go...''s at the end if you like, but that's not so important. Other than those few, tricky bits, well transcribed! |

| Marina and the Diamonds – Hollywood Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I absolutely love when she says, 'Actually, my name's Marina.', especially in the video. I just want to replay that over and over. As for the meaning, I think that's clear. Everyone's chasing that Hollywood dream without realizing it's just as fake as they're trying to be. |

| Tool – Hooker with a Penis Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I agree with the person who said that Keenan himself is supposed to be the hooker with a penis. Basically, yes, he's selling himself out (like a hooker selling their body on the street), but he's still the one fucking you (with this song and, metaphorically, his penis!). I've seen live footage of him performing this song, too, in which he was dressed up as a woman, which I would say supports this theory. |

| Tool – Die Eier Von Satan Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
All right, since I'm a native German speaker, I'll try to translate this for you guys. The balls ('Eier' is German slang for testicles, but it also simply means eggs; I assume that Keenan meant 'balls' here) of Satan Half a cup of powdered sugar, A quarter-teaspoon of salt, A pinch (literally, the amount that fits on the tip of a knife) of Turkish weed, Half a pound of butter, 150 grams of ground nuts, A little extra powdered sugar, And no eggs. Put in a bowl, Mix the butter in, Add the ground nuts, And knead the dough. Form pieces of dough into the size of eyeballs, Roll them in the powdered sugar, And say the magic words: Simsalabimbamba, Saladu, Saladim! (No meaning, just nonsense 'magic words', the equivalent of the English 'Alakazam!') Lay on a greased baking sheet, Bake them at 200 degrees for fifteen minutes, And NO EGGS! Bake them at 200 degrees for fifteen minutes, And no eggs... A very funny song, especially with the 'GRR, WE'RE FACISTS' atmosphere they've generated while simply singing a recipe in German. The members of Tool definitely have a good sense of humor. |
