| The Cure – Friday I'm in Love Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Oral sex? Come on... it's the Cure. They're much more romantic than that, I think. The last stanza sounds like it's describing a night at an amusement park or something. "Dressed up to the eyes," shows that she's... well... dressed up. That probably means that they're out. "To see your shoes and your spirits rise." Shoes rising. That could mean that she's jumping. Or it could be an amusement park ride. "And just smiling at the sound." Sound, eh? Amusement parks do tend to be noisy. "And as sleek as a shriek." Shriek. Getting the point? "Spinning round and round." This one's pretty obvious. "Always take a big bite." Cotton candy. Yum. I like to interpret this in the same way that rockorager did, where it's a relationship where most of the time, it doesn't appear to be all that great on the surface, but every now and then, there's a happy time, represented by "Friday" in this song, when he can really appreciate how much he loves her. |

| Rancid – Nihilism Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
River Wolf is totally right. I think, though, that the narrator had come, in thinking, to the belief of nihilism. Questioning whether life had any meaning would, of course, be very depressing. This led the narrator to start heavy alcohol drinking. Then the line "If I try real hard I'll see right through them" shows that the person'd gotten past his/her feelings of nihilism and resumed normal life. |

| Gorillaz – El Mañana Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
You rock, Kai. Only, I believe that Noodle as a person did survive, but her childhood self died. And Kekeke, "mañana" can be masculine or feminine. When it's masculine, it means "tomorrow." When it's feminine, it's "morning." Don't argue with the native speaker, eh? |

I think that "El Mañana" means "The Tomorrow" whereas "La Mañana" would mean "The Morning." Right? And the meaning of the video is that Noodle grows up. The windmill island is childhood innocence and all that good stuff while the helicopters represent some horrible experience that pulls Noodle into the real, grown-up world. Without the symbolism, the helicopters could've been something to do with Noodle being a human Japanese super-weapon thing. It's in her biography somewhere. Also, there's an error in the lyrics. "Don't stop the bird when it comes" should be "Don't stop the buck when it comes" That line probably means something about not accepting responsibility. I noticed that in the line "from you that just died, yeah," there's a pause between "that" and "just." Maybe rewrite it as "I do know Lord, from you that just died, yeah."? And I heard "Money won't get there" as "Moaning won't get there." Maybe I'm just deaf. As for the meaning of the song, maybe 2D caught someone cheating on him (remember Paula?) or saw someone's death? Or maybe it's from Noodle's point of view. Could be something she learned in Japan. Or maybe it's more general than that. Very open-ended. |
