| Nothing – July the Fourth Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
"I never got my revenge" makes me think of Dom's attempted murder. Maybe it was on July 4th? Idk. Yeah, I know I'm another schmuck who suggests the worst possible interpretation like how 98.75% of the interpretations on this site say that every song is about drugs or some shit. Idk, other than that I just think of the feeling of being sick of religion and trying to figure out your own way to find peace. Music is like that for me, and I tend to listen to a lot of dissonant, noisy, atonal stuff, which mostly just makes things depressing. I listen to Nothing, for fuck's sake. Depressing as shit. Buttfuck it. It's good shit. Two thumbs up to that shit. Shit. |

| John Frusciante – The First Season Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| Thanks for reminding me of this. Even though this is just a year old, reading it gave me the impression that someone else wrote it. It's hard to believe I went into so much depth while interpreting this song. I think it was because I was inspired by the analyses I did in my English class at the time. Haha. I'll definitely relearn this song and post a cover on my youtube channel soon: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtH_uEICix1XhR34-2qUcKQ | |
| Allen Stone – Unaware Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Although you may be reading into his relationship with his father more than is necessary, your analysis rang true with me and my relationship with my father. I've felt the crushing pressure of his expectations, the hate toward his hypocrisies, the realization of his persistence to bend over backward for his children, the hopelessness of agreeing with some of his advice. Thank you for sharing that. | |

| John Frusciante – The First Season Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Those last two chords are so beautiful and cathartic. This was one of the first songs I learned to play and sing, which made me appreciate it more, and I've had a few years to meditate on John's words. I've written out my interpretation of the lyrics for anyone willing to read it. In spite of its length, I tried to make it interesting by including John's words from his blog posts, and I also included some references to ideas and concepts by Carl Jung and Plato. ***I believe it's important to note that my interpretation is not John's interpretation, and it doesn't have to be yours. Same goes for any piece of art. Art is subjective. Please take it with a grain of salt. Thank you for reading. ____________________ Summary (or tl;dr version): The first season of the year is Spring, which symbolizes rebirth. The speaker is going through a paradigm shift, or a change in his or her way of thinking. Obstacles arise, such as the illusion of pain, the illusion of time, the illusion of separateness, and the natural tendency to resist change. During this metamorphosis, the speaker reminds the self to acknowledge these obstacles in order to accept change. ____________________ "Let the pretend take over And that season be the first. Shadows we're in become us So we set up interspersed Between here and away. Become your space every day." In one of John's blog posts, he explained that "by making your own circular actions (doing some creative or educational activity consistently) you will naturally become more of what you really are. And you are that already. It's just a game to learn to be it more completely amidst environment and [amidst] the illusions of constant change and [the illusions of] separateness." The first two lines make me think about birth: when one is introduced to the illusions of his or her surroundings, such as the illusion of pain. Also, the first season of the year is Spring, which suggest rebirth. The four lines after that seem to refer to the illusion of separation, which could be defined by our initial lack of insight and awareness of ourselves. Psychologist Carl Jung refers to the shadow as a manifestation of our unconscious, so "shadows we're in become us" may be interpreted as the feeling of involuntary isolation from other people. And by learning to believe that we are all alike or connected, you may gradually "become your space every day." __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ "When it changes up my row, It slates when time will turn to a room. Light starts being there to talk about All he's feeling for the moon: 'To even the lie, damn him.'" I interpret the first two lines as a paradigm shift in one's way of seeing the world. "It" may refer to the newly presented way of thinking, which "slates" (solidifies like metamorphic rocks, or begins anew like "a clean slate") as one sees that time is an illusion that can be exited like a room. The idea of a "row" and a "room" (as well as "shadow") remind me of Plato's Allegory of the Cave: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_Cave). Based on this, "Light" could be the Sun, who talks about the Moon by saying: "To even the lie, damn him." If "To even the lie" means to reveal the truth, then the Sun could be referring to the Moon as one who conceals the shadow, or the illusion of separateness (or any illusion). "To even the lie, damn him" could also mean that the Sun is condemning both the Moon and "the lie", or the illusion. __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ "In that halo: evil. Around that halo: evil. It hangs by evil." I interpret this as the speaker acknowledging his or her demons, amidst this change that is occurring. Like an addict who claims sudden sobriety, there could be overconfidence and lies in the addict's mind and/or behavior. __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ "You revolve now with my echo: You rose interwound-- Actually, people in the wrong Come through and go on." The first line reminds me of another excerpt from John's blog posts: "As long as the message you send yourself is that it is important to you to be guided by the creative force inside you, in the long run you are on the same path as the sun. Of course you'll seem to go up and down, and be in darkness and light. That's life. The reality of it is that you are a shining star circling through space all the time." The speaker may be reminding the self or someone else that success and failure are illusions. "Echo" may refer to the song, the lyrics, or the conscious mind. The second line may imply the collective unconscious, and the two lines after that may explain that everyone who appears to be "in the wrong" (unaware, immature, etc.) is just going through phases, and will continue to "go on" after they "come through" your life. __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ "Leave my lonely mind a cell. Keep flowing on a drill. I keep holding on to myself." The first line could be a resistance to change. The second line may be a reminder to continue embracing change. The third line may be a realization that resistance to change is a natural tendency. __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ "Be humble, take it the slow way, As I'm allowed; Even holding on (to myself)." This stanza could be a reminder to relax and be open-minded during feelings of resistance. __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ "Even holding on [to] My cell of space that holds me." The "cell of space" may refer to the shadow, or it may refer to the body if one believes that the only way to be free is through death. |

| Rollins Band – Hello Lyrics | 10 years ago |

I just recently started listening to Nice, and this is the song I can't stop listening to. What I can't say to myself is what Henry usually manages to articulate: "And sometimes I don't even want to be alive, But then I realize I'm just lonely. I'm just lonely. I'm just lonely." Henry's candor gets me through rough days. |

| Ashes Divide – Enemies Lyrics | 10 years ago |

It bewilders me that people thought the lyrics were: Your idea of perfect in mind I'm perfectly in line So let's be enemies I agree that it's actually: Your idea of perfect and mine Are perfectly in line So let's be enemies |

| Ashes Divide – Enemies Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| In my opinion, either form of the lyrics makes sense. To me, "Cut a smile in my face/So you'll intake some fleeting comfort" indicates that the speaker ("my") wears a mask to spare others ("you'll") from discomfort. However, I couldn't say which one is right, and your version makes sense to me as well. As long as one gets a clear message across, I think we'll be alright. | |
| Meshuggah – New Millenium Cyanide Christ Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I'm surprised nobody has considered the possibility that Marshall White from the Heaven's Gate cult may have inspired this song. He and some 38 of his followers committed suicide together by ingesting cyanide and arsenic. One of the former cult members gave an interview in a documentary by Inside Story, believed White to be a "20th century Jesus" (around the 15:00 mark on a youtube video called, "Heaven's Gate Documentary"). | |

| Thom Yorke – Lotus Flower Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Since the lyrics above are all jumbled up, I tried rearranging them: I will slip myself into your pocket Invisible Do what you want Do what you want I was thinking I would disappear I will slip into the groove And cut me up And cut me up There's an empty space inside my heart Where the weeds take root So now, I set you free I set you free Slowly we unfold as lotus flowers 'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick Just to see what is Just to see what is I can't kick your habit Just to feed your fast-ballooning head Listen to your heart We will sink and be quiet as mice And while the cat is away Do what we want Do what we want There's an empty space inside my heart Where the weeds take root So now, I set you free I set you free 'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick Just to see what is Just to see what is The bird that's flown into my room Slowly we unfold as lotus flowers 'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick And dancing around the pit The darkness is beneath I can't kick your habit Just to feed your fast-ballooning head Listen to your heart *Sometimes it sounds like he starts with "Just to see what if," then "Just to see what is." I'm probably wrong, but that's what I've been hearing all the time. |

Here's the fixed lyrics: Please don't ask me who- Oh, who you think I am I could live without that I'm just a modest man Meet me at the corner, and oh Tell me what to do 'cause I messed up on you And had I known, oh, that I do now... I'm guessing we're through now Receding into the forest, I will lay around and wait And I'll wait for you Please don't ask me where- Oh, where you think I've been I've been a lot of places But this could be my whim Meet me at the corner, would I Tell me what to do 'Cause I messed up on you And had I known, oh, that I do now I'm guessing we're through now Receding into the forest, I will lay around and wait And I'll wait for you I feel so bad, I thought you oughta know And I feel so bad, I thought you oughta know Something I wanna show I thought you oughta know Please don't say you want To keep in touch out there To see you on the corner Aw, that I just can't bear Well, meet me at the corner and you'll Tell me what to do 'Cause I messed up on you And had I known, oh, that I do now I'm guessing we're through now Receding into the forest, I will lay around and wait Hey, and I turned I turned my head when I thought I saw a sign from the gods A sign from the gods That you weren't meant to be mine And it's fine Taking it all for a ride Till the day when it's gone I mystified my way and it all went wrong When it's gone, I live and I love, and I lose and I win But it's better than ever, whenever I'm in Thank you, girl, for everywhere that I've been |

I think "I'm reminded how to find myself" should be "I'm reminded how to find the stairs." At least, that's what I hear :P Although, I'm pretty sure that he says, "Sweet talking as I'm walking through your part of town" instead of "Sweet talking, there's a marker, to your part of town." |

| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Goodbye Hooray Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I think the moral of the story is that "Nice guys finish last," and the chorus is being spoken from the "nice guy's" point of view. I love that they included a heavier song in the mix! They don't disappoint! :) |

Here are the fixed lyrics: Well, if I die before I get it done, will you decide? I'll take my words and turn them into sounds; he will survive Because a long time ago, I knew not to deprive It's safe out there and now you're everywhere, just like the sky You are love, you are The Love Supreme, you are the rye And when you hear this, you know it's your jam It's your goodbye [Chorus] Like I said, You know, I'm almost dead You know, I'm almost gone And when the drummer drums, He's gonna play my song to carry me along Like I said, You know, I'm almost dead You know, I'm almost gone And when the boatman comes to ferry me away To where we all belong We all crossed when we were feeling lost It's just a time Could Terry cry the day her lover died? She recognized Because he gave her a life of real love, it's no surprise The nights are long, but the years are short when you're alive Way back when will never be again It was a time It's gonna catch you So glad I met you to walk a line [Chorus] Come get me Hey! Hey! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! [Chorus] Let me live so when it's time to die, even the reaper cries Let me die so when it's time to leave, another sun will rise I said, Yeah! I say, Yeah! [Chorus] Like I said, You know I'm almost dead You know I'm almost gone (3x) |

| John Frusciante – Your Warning Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think "Your warning me" fits better at the beginning as it ties in with the second line. He's saying that the warning he was given was the safest thing to say. | |
| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Song That Made Us What We Are Today Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think this song could possibly be the one that Anthony and Flea had played in front of Brendan Mullen, getting them their first gig at Club Lingerie as the RHCP. I remember reading about it in both Scar Tissue and the first few pages to An Oral/Visual History. | |
