| Guns N' Roses – Shackler's Revenge Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Found it: "Shackler’s was inspired by the insanity of senseless school shootings and also the media trying desperately to make more out of one shooter’s preference for the Guns song Brownstone to no avail. That said, listening for my own enjoyment or if we were to make a video or performing it I lean more to the entertainment of a horror flick or something like Dexter, something with an interesting menacing character as opposed to real life."

| Guns N' Roses – Madagascar Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Although I see the parallels with the GnR band situation, I find it hard to believe that that's what this song is about. That interpretation makes no sense considering the sound clips during the instrumental section. The music and lyrics are way too epic to be about something so trivial. I think there is a definite anti-hatred and/or anti-racism message in this song, but I haven't yet put my finger on exactly what I think it means. | |
| Guns N' Roses – Riad n' the Bedouins Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| The city is Riyadh, not Riad, and it is the capital of Saudi Arabia. | |
| Guns N' Roses – Prostitute Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| After a few listens through the album this is the one I've found myself listening to on infinite repeat. Not decided on what I think it means yet but it is quite haunting. It was kind of deceptive, because upon seeing the title I was expecting some sort of Appetite-style song about the usual sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. But the song is actually very dramatic and interesting. | |
| Guns N' Roses – Coma Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is totally unbelievable and extremely underrated. While things such as Steven Adler and Slash's drug problems are undoubtedly inspirations for some of the lyrics, I don't think the song as a whole is about something as specific as drugs or a member of the band. It's just about being overwhelmed by the craziness of life and wanting to find some peace. The interludes with doctors trying to save someone (presumably Axl), the women bitching at him (one mentions him by name so it is clear he is the protagonist, these women are credited as "bitches" in the liner notes) are really just metaphorical. No one dies, attempts suicide, or overdoses on drugs in this song, it's just an escapist fantasy with a stream of consciousness concerning many different aspects of a hectic and stressful life. | |

| Someone asked about the unprinted lyrics and I haven't seen anyone reply. The lines are "America cannot see anything, History was written by winners" | |
| Paul Van Dyk – The Other Side (Vocals by Wayne Jackson) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The very first line is the only one I'm unsure about- what it sounds like he's saying doesn't make sense. But here's the rest of it: When there's broken through (?) I will comfort you When I wake, my tongue is tied Daylight brings the great divide Weeping like the rain Whispering your name Long to be reunified Believe the sun will rise When I reach the light I will see you on the other side Speeding city lights Leave me weak tonight Oh, I miss your warmth inside The stars came out to shine Across the waterline I can feel you on the other side See you on the other side When I close my eyes ---- According to Paul Van Dyk's Wikipedia page, this song was written in response to the tsunami in southeastern Asia a few years back. The song is about the death of a loved one and still feeling a connection to them after they're gone. |

| Pearl Jam – Parting Ways Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| Two people who are in love and wish they could stay in love forever, but something inside makes them think that it won't last. Perhaps it is some twist of fate beyond their control that will keep them apart, and they live in fear that they may not be able to overcome this obstacle. | |
