| Lucero – Tears Don't Matter Much Lyrics

none of these artists are from Nashville. It would be more factually fitting to say "from the Memphis area". Lucero is a Memphis band, Ben is from Batesville, AR. Cory Brennan is from Mississippi and Doug Deluca is from Hot Springs, AR. get yo shit together. |

| Red House Painters – Grace Cathedral Park Lyrics

is anyone more san francisco than rhp? kozelek is translucently translating his experiences feelings in his early days of just living the san franciscan life. i just did a little research and google earth'd the locations mentioned in the song, as well as priest alley song. if interested, go check them out, the street views are a great way to define and get an interpersonal aspect on the songwriting process, see just what mark was going through. i'm still lost as to where colorful hill is, anyone reckon he was giving hippie hill his own nomenclature?
56 cushman st - grace cathedral park. 1601 turk st. - golden gate elementary (now relegated). |

| Verse En Coma – DCC Cassette Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
|
this song is also called "Die Cassette". i think it is a continuation or perhaps a prequel to "Tiny Speakers". great job interpreting the lyrics, man. i got turned on to this ep about a year ago. it's so powerful, so blissful - and brings about that certain sense of nostalgia - but yet so unknown. this song has like 31 views on youtube, and it's one of the only VEC songs on the site. such a shame. |

| Red House Painters – 24 Lyrics

song is pretty much self explanatory. just seeing the video for the first time now, video is spot on. the kid that plays the younger version of kozelek is frightfully accurate. he was indeed 24 when this song was released, so i don't reckon it's his son (kid looks about 12). i also am knowledgeable of his troubled childhood, so don't imagine it's his little brother.. whoever it is, great casting call. |

| Smog – Let Me See the Colts Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
i believe this song is bill callahan's "what would the community think", that is, it's about the (new-found) love for someone younger, older, or of the same sex. i'm seeing more of younger and same sex, but that's just my viewpoint.
Let me see the colts
That will run next year
Show them to a gambling man
Thinking of the future
the gambling man is a younger adult (ie. 16-19) that has the relationship with a younger or older partner and thinks about the consequences but doesn't want to, or feels like he is, missing out on something that intrigues him.
We walked out through
The dew dappled brambles
And sat upon the fence
Is there anything as still as sleeping horses
Is there anything as still as sleeping horses
the dew dappled brambles is indeed beautiful imagery, followed by the line "sat upon the fence", which points to thinking about which way to go with the situation and the confusion of it all...to pursue it or walk way feeling ashamed or embarrassed.
the sleeping horses that they watch symbolize the realization by one or both parties of a this new aspect of love and relationships and seeing that it's not what people think and inquiring as to whether the partner believes the same. |

and since it wasn't commented on, i feel no burden or shame in posting my complete posting, as i was not finished. anyhow, it stuns me that this song wasn't commented on before i. this is my favorite van morrison song...really, it's the only van morrison song that i enjoy thoroughly (other than BEG which is a classic). nonetheless, the meaning is simply in the song...as are most songs, actually. |

| Mogwai – Auto Rock Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
|
completely disagree, this and 'i chose horses' are the best tracks on the album, much more, the two of the best tracks of mogwai's career. to me, this song demonstrates a chaotic mode of synchrocy. it's reasoning and saying it doesn't need something...as it grows, it tends to realizes it hasn't needed that something all along and becomes quite frustrated. "auto rock". quite oblivious. |

| 311 – Creatures (For a While) Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
"I know what you we're gonna say
But were afraid to cause dismay
You're lyrics switched around
The mixture watered down
And now a pointless display"
to me, this verse represents the record company saying SA needed to have less to do with the album (the market for 2003 was more for one band singers). as with other 311 songs, when it appears they're talking down to someone/something...half of the time they're referencing themselves. this song being one example. |

i particularly question the line "hated things our parents did" i think it can be interpreted as they hated the same things as their parents. like influecned. rather than the parents actions. like listening casey kasem for instance. |

funny story with this song actually...back when glassjaw's worship and tribute album was about to come out...i tried to pirate the motherfucker...and wound up with an album with 12 tracks...only half of which were the real album. and this track, i've been searching everything glassjaw for the last couple of days trying to find this song (i just found the cd in an old stack, having bought the actual cd when it came out) and thanks to songmeanings...found it's actually a brand new song! eh, crazy shit. i like brand new though...just never really got into them. love this song though...kinda does remind you of an indie glassjaw, huh? |

yeah. 172 comments. not one about the song. so here's mine... every site that i've gone to to find the meanings for Co&Ca songs, on this particular one, half of them say the song is from Claudio (the character)'s point of view, and the other half say it's from Coheed's point of view...well sure, this all good...except in one case. during the chorus...josephine being the daughter/sister, he's preaching incest :) think about it. |

Monster Magnet, that's such a disgrace, QOTSA should kill the idiot who even made that comparison, MM is one of the worst bands ever. As Queens are one of the best. and as far as the song meaning goes, it is in fact about fucking. Josh said so at their concert in Memphis at the New Daisy 3/14/03 |

here's people who really get me, like our friend "Pyrrhon" over here, whatever the fuck that means, anyway, he probably heard No On Knows on the radio, thought it was pretty cool, then downloaded other random songs by them, then went to their website(s) and found out who was singing and came here to sound like he knew something (so little might i add) and put his name, and said he was crazy...ah, posers...so simple to figure out. |

but anyway, this song is obviously about Jesus and how he was hated. It's right there. No need in explaining it, if you don't comprehend, go read the bible and listen to the song at the same time. Yeah, that's a subliminal message. |
