| I can totally relate. I grew up in a tralier myself (and not just any tralier...one that was about to fall the fuck down) and I feel that same pain and hurt. | |

Jesus christ, MixMasterLee types like a 3rd grader. The song is about how we Americans take everything for granted. From the sugar in our coffee to the pavement we drive on. |

| Ben Folds Five – Brick Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
Okay ladies & gentleman, this is exactly what the song means: Yes, the song is about abortion. When Ben said it was about taking your dog to the vet he was joking. I'm from NC and used to see Ben Folds Five before they found success and have talked to Ben personally and have asked him about the song and he told me about it. Oh and the lyrics that are posted ARE correct. So Here's the lyrical break down: "6 am day after Christmas I throw some clothes on in the dark The smell of cold Car seat is freezing The world is sleeping I am numb" Because it was going to be the only time Ben's girlfriend's parents would be away, they had to go to get the abortion the day after Christmas. Ben wasn't feeling good about it at all, he felt horrible because he felt it was all his fault and he wasn't too happy about the concept of abortion. This first verse is just describing him waking up the morning the abortion is too take place, getting dressed, getting in his cold car in the early morning while everyone else is asleep and than going to pick up his girlfriend. "Up the stairs to her apartment She is balled up on the couch Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte they're not home to find us out And we drive" Ben was from Chapel Hill, NC and he told me his girlfriend and her family lived in an apartment in Raleigh (only 15-20 miles away). Just as the song says: He got there, went up the stairs to her apartment and finds her in a ball on the coach. His parents and her parents had no idea that she was pregnant or about the abortion. Her parents had went to Charrlotte to visit family and she had said she was too sick to go. So her parents weren't home to find out what they were going to do. They got in his car and drove to the abortion clinic. "Now that I have found someone I'm feeling more alone Than I ever have before" Ben told me he felt this way because he felt it was all his fault and he felt like no one could relate to his situation that he knew, thus, he felt alone. "She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly off the coast and I'm headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly" Even though he blamed himself for what had happened, he felt like his relationship with his girlfriend was now drowning him. He was ruining his life now and throwing it away, but at the same time he deep down didn't want her to get an abortion, because he didn't want to kill his unborn child. "they call her name at 7:30 I pace around the parking lot then I walk down to buy her flowers And sell some gifts that I got" At 7:30 in the morning they call her name in the Abortion Clinic to get the abortion. Alot was going through Ben's head, he was also worried about his girlfriend so he paced around in the parking lot and than went and brought her flowers and sold some gifts he got for Christmas to help pay for the abortion. "Can't you see It's not me you're dying for Now she's feeling more alone Then she ever has before" The first two lines he's talking directly to his unborn child. He didn't agree with the abortion and didn't want to "kill" his unborn baby, so he's telling his baby that he didn't want it and he/she is "dying" because his girlfriend (the unborn child's mother) wants it. The next two lines are refering to how his girlfriend is in the clinic getting an abortion and he can't be there, so she's feeling alone. "As weeks went by It showed that she was not fine They told me son it's time to tell the truth She broke down and I broke down Cause I was tired of lying" Weeks later, his girlfriend started to feel guilt and sadness over what had happened and both Ben's parents and her parents noticed. Eventually Ben's parents comfronted him and her about it and told him to tell the truth and they both broke down and told the truth. Just as it says in the song, Ben did it because he was "tired of lying." "Driving home to her apartment For the moment we're alone She's alone I'm alone Now I know it" After they told Ben's parents the truth, he drove her home. They were alone for the moment because they were together and didn't have to face her parents yet. But, they weren't alone together, she was alone in her own world and he was alone in his and what do you ask he meant by the line "now I know it"? What exactly did he know? He knew that what had happened had ruined their relationship and tainted their love. |

| Weezer – El Scorcho Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| "Oh and the redhead said you shred the cello and I'm jello baby" means exactly what it says. A redheaded girl (who I'm going to guess is the girl who River's wrote the song about's friend) told Rivers that she (the girl who the song is about) could play [shred] the cello really well. Rivers really admires that and finds it attractive and as a result he's "jello." | |
| Bail Out – Reef Girl Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| I know Kris (the drummer of Bail Out) and he told me (although I figured it out for myself) that this song is about masturbating. Obviously to a poster of a "reef girl" on your wall. | |
| Jimmy Eat World – Blister Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| This song as a special meaning for me especially as we speak. Especially the line "How long will it take me to walk across the United States?" Because..I am getting ready to walk across the united states (well, from NC to north of Washington, DC). The only thing I can relate too in this song is the line about the West Coast, because unlike Jimmy, I'm not on the West Coast. Starting with the 1st four lines, I have been let down my whole life and there is nothing for me here. I've been sheltered and never been allowed to live. I do feel like I'm falling in a pit of fire, so I have to get out. Whether I come back I don't know. Moving on, I don't see any direction in my life where I'm going, I don't know what to do or what's going to happen. Things arn't getting better, I have to get out now and no one try to stop me. I have been wrapped in a blanket of fear for years. | |
