| The Trews – You're So Sober Lyrics

|
|
I guess that since this is a man who loves to drink a lot (We know this from other songs like "I Can't Stop Laughing" and "Ishmael and Maggie"), he has a negative opinion of someone who doesn't drink. He broke up with her for this reason and now he is mocking her for not drinking. |

| The Trews – Tired Of Waiting Lyrics

He's waiting for his girlfriend to say that she wants to have sex with him. She never says that, but she also says that she doesn't want him to go. He's telling her that he's tired of waiting for her to be ready to have sex, and that when she finally decides that she is ready, it won't be as good as she imagined. His frustration over waiting is reducing his libido. |

It seems pretty straight forward to me. The man is heartbroken because his wife just left him, and he's trying to remove the pain of the heartbreak by drinking a lot of alcohol and by laughing a lot. |

Jonathan Davis was raped by his babysitter and his parents did nothing about it because they didn't believe him. Jonathan is upset not only because he was raped, but because his parents thought he was lying.
The crying at the end wasn't planned. It just happened. That's what happens to a lot of rape victims when they talk about the time they were raped. The rest of the band members didn't know what to do, so they just kept on playing. |

The man loves a slut who has been sleeping with men everywhere. He loves her and has deluded himself into believing that she loves him back. But they're not gonna work out their issues together.

The man loves his woman, but she's afraid to love him back because she's afraid to have her heart broken. The man is trying to help her get over her fears. Also, without her loving him back, the love is incomplete, which is why they are spelling it in an incomplete way. |

Well, it is an old song now.
This song is about a woman who dates a rich man, but only for his money. She reaches in his pocket hoping he'll think it's an act of romance, but in actuality she's stealing money right out of his pocket. He catches her doing it and kicks her out of his home and tells him never to come back. |

| Bad Religion – Ad Hominem Lyrics

|
Like others said, "Ad Hominem" attacks are when you attack the person, not what he or she is saying. You pay no attention to the facts, you just attack the other person.
"Is it possible to divide your ideas and beliefs from the people you don't like?" is the point of the song. If you don't like what a person has to say, you should criticize what the person says with your own facts. Don't just attack the other person. |

@[SpiralArchitectX:33056] well, your interpretation of the song is correct. But I can't agree with your last comment. This song and whole album is the most unique thing Bad Religion ever did. It proved that they are a versatile band that can do more than just super-fast, guitar-drive, 1-minute songs. If every album were Suffer, then Suffer part 2, then Suffer part 3, and so forth, I'd get bored. One of the things I love about Bad Religion is they can do more than one style of music. |

This song seems to be about unhappy people who are so desperate for happiness, they will do whatever they think it takes to find it, even if it means leaving or mistreating their own wives. But they never find true happiness. And by trying so hard to find happiness, they only make their lives worse and worse. |

This is an ironic song, inspired by a quote from George H.W. Bush, who said that we will win the Gulf War because God is on our side. They wrote this song, using irony and sarcasm, to mock Bush, his supporters, and everybody who actually believes that Jesus is American and that he actively participates in war, fighting for the Americans. |

@[ALackofColorHere:32668] maybe the narrator was just too mentally ill to realize exactly where the sun was setting. There's another Mountain Goats character (in the song "Baboon" on the Coroner's Gambit album) where an enraged lunatic thinks to sun is rising in the west. So this seems to be a common thing with Mountain Goats characters. They are so mentally unstable that they can't even tell where the sun is rising and setting. |

| Adele – If It Hadn't Been for Love Lyrics

Adele's version of the song could be thought of as being about a woman who kills her husband and says it's because her love of him made her insane. It is a cover, and the song was written by a man, so it was originally about a man killing his wife. However, this is done by a woman, and the pronouns have been changed to reflect that so in this version the wife kills the husband. |

Anybody would be sad if they lost their mother, especially those people who were kids when their mothers died. It doesn't matter what you are doing with your life, if you lose your mother, you will be sad.
These types of songs SAVE people from suicide. They help kids learn that they are not alone, and that makes them feel a lot better. People who DON'T listen to these types of songs are more likely to commit suicide, which you hopefully have by now, fastfingerz. |

I believe this song is a message from Republicans and Democrats, Liberals and Conservatives, social justice warriors and anti-social justice warriors, that sort of thing. All of these group bash their opponents for things they do themselves. They're all hypocrites. So, if you're on one side or another, even if you win the fight, you're just doing and going to continue to do the same things you bashed them for doing. All of these groups think that they are the saviors of mankind, but they are really the saviors of nothing. |

The song's message is to enjoy life as much as you can while you are still alive. Also when you lose someone you love, always remember the good times you had with that person. Hold onto photos or anything you have that reminds you of him or her, so you can look back at remember the good times you had. Don't let your depression over losing them hold you back from enjoying your life. |

The song's message is that if you love somebody and she breaks up with you for seemingly no good reason, don't kill yourself. Just try to survive as long as you can and then you will realize that you are stronger on your own than you ever were with her. The song's message also applies if you lose friends or if you get kicked out of a social group or if you lose family. Basically the song's message is for people who, one way or another, lose someone who mattered to them. |

The song's message is to taxpayers. The song explains how the government declares war for no reason other than as an excuse to raise taxes so that they can get rich. They'll lie to the public to deceive them into giving them money, and they don't care how many people die as long as they are rich. The message of the song is that we need to stop paying taxes, and we need to stop believing their lies, and we need to stop helping them out. We need to start fighting back and we do that by not giving them money. |

David Draiman has said in concert that this song was inspired by the recent (at the time the song was written) deaths of Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell, and Chester Bennington. Those were friends of David as well as other famous singers. They all brought their own deaths upon themselves. So David wrote this song hoping to prevent more suicides. |
