@sillybunny (the first comment): We don't need to have massive amounts of people starving to fulfill some ... "theoretical" need to have opposition to obesity! You can prove this pretty simply. Just give all those people food and they'll stop starving. Stop force feeding ducks to make foie gras (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-feeding#cite_ref-14) and start giving that food to starving humans. Stop feeding your dog and send the Alpo to Africa and one less person will starve. Anything. Just give them food. Starving masses are not a necessity, not a necessary part of life, not something people should (tearfully or not) accept. It won't cause a rip in the fabric of space-time or something. We'll also still be able to recognize who is fat. |

Oh yeah, and the point I made in the original post still stands: self-hate isn't cool, but the idea that race should constrain our actions is absurd and wrong. You don't have to know who the Kingfish is to see that. |

| Frank Zappa – You Are What You Is Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Provided I can read? Are you retarded? My writing was surely coherent, was it not? Since no one who can write English can't read English, excepting those with neurlogical disorders, surely I can read. I did that research on the Kingfish, and he's a character on a show called Amon 'n Andy which is also somewhat offensive in its portrayal of black folks -- because it was the only show on TV that regularly featured black characters. It's fine to show idiotic or backward people of any color on TV, but when it's the only depiction of them, the effect is not pleasant. So, flavour_country, you can rest assured that it was supposed to be Kingfish. (This is backed up by the fact that the voice Frank aped was indeed the Kingfish's voice.) Finally, to downriver: I'm not all that young. Is it not OK to "come as you are", and post on a song, just giving your initial impressions, without doing f'ing research? Now, I like research, but it's absurd to require that of people who wish to avoid criticism. BTW, if you remember Amon 'n Andy from the original broadcasts, that means that you were alive and old enough to have listened to the radio back in the 1920's, or to the TV in the 1950's. That'd make you at least 60, if not 100. And I doubt any 60 year old with any self-respect would've used "b4" in a posting. (Unless he aspires to be a 13 year old girl when he grows up.) So, don't pat yourself too hard on the back for having watched more TV re-runs of an old show which only caught on because it portrayed blacks as dullards who would happily or at least unwittingly remain at the back of the bus for all time. |

| Talking Heads – Houses In Motion Lyrics | 16 years ago |

What a fan you are, majestikmoose9 -- you counter the accusation that this song is filler by, instead of praising this song, calling even more songs filler. Is that how you talk about a world-class album? Either way, I agree, I always thought this song is awesome. I love the opening lyric: "For a long time I felt without style and grace, wearing shoes with no socks, in cold weather." That's such a beautiful description of what it feels like to think you're living without style and grace -- and hilarious! |

| David Bowie – Always Crashing in the Same Car Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
To poster #2, jimmymike -- who told you Bowie ever had an opiate habit?? Bowie was a coke head, not an opiate user -- that's why his memory is fried, as he attests. Opiates don't do that, period. Lots of coke and paranoia when he was making Low. That was the defining characteristic of the sessions for Bowie: Bowie being in a state that prevents him from remembering anything about the sessions, except why he can't remember them. So, if it's about drugs, it's definitely about coke. And it'd be hard, I think, for a man as intelligent as Bowie to sing these lyrics, about driving in circles at high *speeds* and *crashing* without thinking on his coke use, regardless what the initial meaning was. It's pretty clearly coke, though. BTW, there's a really great video clip that VH1 showed in a Behind the Music or whatever that shows Bowie clearly all coked up in the late 1970's (i.e. the period of Low, which has this song) and being driven around in a car -- he's looking all around, like he's paranoid, and his face is just so coked out. It's also just a very striking lyric inasmuch as the image of repeatedly crashing in the same car is beautifully "existential". It really is all over the place, this album. I like it, too, but why is it that more critics put this as Bowie's greatest than any other album? It's very good, but it's also, like I said, all over the place, coked out, and whatnot. It's beautiful, but I'm surprised there's such consensus on it! And it's the peak of his "Berlin" period. Funny, too, how the critics are the same way about Lou Reed's "Berlin" album. (He went all the way and just named it Berlin!) And, Berlin is actually not just an outgrowth of coked out craziness, but is, as I remember it, explicitly a concept album about a coked out chick. Or, that's some of the songs, at least. And Low was not made about a "previous" period of drug use. Low was made while Bowie in the middle of his period of using cocaine most heavily -- it was the late 1970's and he was a rock star! Can't you hear the scatterbrained, verging on drug induced manic psychosis, misery of using too much coke, the feeling that comes long after the high and somewhere before the physical crash? That's Low -- that and a myriad of beautiful and weird soundscapes, digital-flesh tearing synthesizer screeches and beep-boops, and Bowie's bleached white voice as otherworldly and thin-souled as it gets. |

What is the trash? After "Another Girl"? Guys, did you talk to Nancy Reagan? Drug users/dealers as vampires? A bit *too* much. Using drugs as a disease? You're as bad as Dr. Drew. Get off it. I hate it when people who've used drugs then go on to take a stance that not only are they not the best way to live, but that they should somehow be outlawed... I pray none of these guys think that's the cure for the "epidemic". |

| T. Rex – Cosmic Dancer Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Wow, this song is freaking beautiful, wonderful... and much more. I had that T-Rex 20th Anniversary greatest hits, but somehow I missed this one... Wow. I thought I'd heard all their good stuff, which I thought was about 1/10th of the 20th Anniversary. But this... this is the best song I've ever heard from them. So, so moving, I mean all that stuff about dancing out of the womb and into the tomb. To hear Marc Bolan, who died from an OD of the quintessential disco drug, singing about dancing into the tomb, is absolutely heart rending and more than sad it's just absolutely moving. (Not to mention a dead rock start talking about dancing when he was a kid; reminds me of being a kid listening to rock, and damn near brings a tear to the eye.) It's less sad and more moving because these lyrics bring you to a cosmic perspective, where the character is being born again and again -- less sad because you know he's continuing to exist, yet at the same time more sad when you consider all the melancholy he sings of is multiplied by the number of lives we live ("...and then again, once more...") A million lives, all filled with dancing to beautiful music, leaving a million mother's wombs, and dancing your way into the tomb. God, and those strings, and the "ahhhhh"'s in the background that sound like Bolan himself, and Bolan's weird vibrato-voice lead, God, that really makes it. (What makes it? What's that? You hear it in the voice. Bellaboo137 said it well "I love the strange sweetness..." and "hes kinda a strange sweet kid." Strange and sweet, an untamed youth, that's the truth.) Kudos to Bolan; you reached much greater heights than I knew. You paired that adorable feeling of loving attachment and melancholy voice that you exhibited on Telegram Sam with moving lyrics on this one. 10/10, you're my main man. |

| The Stone Roses – I Wanna Be Adored Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Man, the notion that this is about the devil is disheartening. I thought it was an ultra-simple, and ultra-powerful, expression of our (occasionally/often) overpowering desire to be adored. You could find some psychobabbliatrists who would say that the desire to be adored rules the lives of those for whom survival is no longer a struggle. So, if this whole song is sung from a single point of view, he's saying: 1) the devil is in me 2) I've already sold my soul 3) I want to be adored 4) You adore me Those are all the things that are stated in this song. (Makes it a hell of a lot easier to analyze, as the song is so simple, in terms of quantity of unique lines.) Numbers 1 and 2 are tied together -- the devil is in me because I've sold my soul. (As much as selling your soul means the devil is "in" you...) So, this much makes sense. Numbers 3 and 4 are tied together -- he wants to be adored, and he is adored. A desire is listed, and so is the fact that it's satisfied. So this makes sense. But what the h**l is the connection between those two groups?? Surely they're not implying that the devil "adores" him?!? Can someone give a good reference or quote for this devil explanation? Anyhow, the lyrics were extremely powerful and moving when I first got turned on to this album, what, four years ago. As another poster said, to me, this song will always simply be about the desire to be loved. It's like the lyrics are just the transcript from a direct line to the part of your brain that constantly/sometimes cries out for love. And, obviously, his voice, the production, and the music are beautiful, and they "make" the song, along with the lyrics. Love it. |

| Queen – '39 Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
insanity_defined(p. 2): Are you crazy? (Well, looking at your name...) Do you really think that time passes more slowly for sailors when they're far from land? Or for astronauts when they're far from earth? ***Here's the science behind this for all you people*** (and this is some mind blowing crap, if you can really get it): The speed of any thing in the universe, including people, *through the 4 dimensions, i.e. the three spatial dimensions and the time dimension*, is equal to the speed of light. Thus, as one's speed through the three spatial dimensions increases, one's speed through time has to slow -- because one's speed through all 4 dimensions (3 space + 1 time dimension) is always equal to the speed of light. Thus, if one was to travel through the 3 spatial dimensions at the speed of light, one's speed through the 1 time dimension is equal to 0. That is, if one is traveling at the speed of light through space, your speed through time is reduced to 0. Even if you do not reach the speed of light, as you accelerate through the 3 spatial dimensions (i.e. MOVE!), your speed through time slows. Thus, even if you get up from your computer and walk across the room, your speed through time has slowed down. More time would have passed for a friend who sat still than had passed for you while you walked across the room. The effect is just very tiny for low speeds. It can, however, be detected by very precise timepieces even for long flights. (I.e., you take two identical, synchronized, very precise timepieces, and you take one on a 24 flight, and the other is left stationary on the ground. The one that is on the ground will show more time has elapsed than the one that you flew with, i.e. while moving time passed more slowly for you!) This has nothing to do with how far away from earth or from land (were you kidding about that?). Have you ever known a sailor who came back from a boat trip one hundred years older??!? Anyhow, the main point is that your speed through space-time (i.e. the 3 spatial dimensions plus the 1 time dimension) is equal to the speed of light, thus as you increase your speed through the 3 spatial dimensions, your speed through the 1 time dimension must be reduced, because your speed through all 4 dimensions is constant, i.e. it is always equal to the speed of light. (Don't ask me how we know that you speed through time is equal to the speed of light when you're sitting still. This is Einstein stuff, literally, I think.) I do admit that your dad, insanity_defined, may have been onto something with the distance from earth thing -- but not the distance from land. I say this because I have heard that further from earth, where gravity is weaker, time passes slower or faster. (It's got to be slower, right? I think so.) I think this effect (the gravity/distance from earth effect) is too weak to ever cause the kinds of differences in the experience of time that are cited in the song, though, so this clearly isn't the explanation. But the effect the song is clearly speaking about is the one that occurs when you travel very fast. And, on a separate note, **all of you who are pretending that the song isn't about space travel are silly**. If you believe that May said that it's about space travel, how can you say otherwise? (If you don't believe that he said that, that's a different matter. But no one seems to be saying that. You seem to be claiming that the meaning of the song, as stated by the author, is somehow not the meaning of the song.) For God's sake -- a songmeaning(s.net) is what the author says the song means!!! Sure, you can have your personal meanings. But don't come on here saying "it seems unlikely this is about space travel." It *is* about space travel. That's what the author said! (If you contest that he said that, fine, but otherwise there's nothing to say other than that you're silly!) If you want to offer your personal meaning, call that "your *personal* meaning", and if you want to offer an explanation you've heard from someone other than the songwriter, call it a "potential meaning" or "meaning you've heard" -- as separate from "*the* meaning", which refers to the "the meaning intended by the author, as reliably documented". "*The* meaning" is what the author says it is. And the author says it's about space travel. So, now we've put that to rest, and you've all got a science lesson. ;) And this is a very sweet, very atmospheric song which I'd never really given such a listen to. Very cool. Doesn't the background high pitched voices, like the ones it starts with, evoke space travel? It sounds 50's sci-fi-ish to me... Very beautiful, and the only really non-corny, truly sci-fi song I can think of. (Space Oddity isn't really very sci-fi, more like sci.) Really showcases Queen's ability to arrange songs in a variety of idioms, and beautifully produce them. |

| The Rolling Stones – Soul Survivor Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Who is this about?? I'm gonna sink under you, I got the bell bottom blues, It's gonna be the death of me. It's the graveyard watch, running right on the rocks, I've taken all of the knocks. You ain't giving me no quarter. I'd rather drink sea water, I wish I'd never had brought you, It's gonna be the death of me. ---OK, clearly the singer ("I") is having difficulties *surviving*. (E.g., "It's gonna be the death of me".) Soul survivor, soul survivor. Soul survivor, soul survivor. Soul survivor, soul survivor. Soul survivor, soul survivor, Gonna be the death of me, It's gonna be the death of me. ---Now, we start hearing about "soul survivor". Since the singer is *not* very certain to "survive", we must assume the "Soul survivor" is another person. Why is the title of this person, then, "Soul survivor", when the principal characterization of this person is as the person who is going to be responsible for the *death* (drowning, etc.) of the singer?!? Wouldn't it be more accurate to call them "murderer"?? Or, maybe, since this person is going to be the only survivor out of the two characters, the singer and the "soul survivor" -- since they're the "only" survivor, they're the "sole", or, to invoke soul music, the "soul" survivor. But, that sounds like a positive title... And, as I said, the main thing they say about this person, is not that they'll be surviving (which is also said), but that *they (he/she) will be responsible for the failure of the singer to survive*. So, why would you give the person who is responsible for you "drowning" and dying a positive sounding title like "soul survivor", which implies possession of some soul in addition to being the sole (or only) survivor? One answer: you would give them a positive title even though they will be the only person that survives between the two of you, and even though they are responsible for your failure to survive -- because you're in love. The other person is going to survive the love, the affair -- you're going to drown in their love, and the aftermath of love, and they are going to continue surviving, because, perhaps, they have enough "soul" to carry on. Hence, "soul survivor". Just an idea. But the song is beautiful, really great guitar on the intro, "When the water is rough...", and then "It's the graveyard shift...", and "When you're flying your flags my confidence sags." Really great guitar on those portions, and great back-up singing throughout. That last line, by the way, really fits in with a character who is being emotionally killed by their relationship. Sounds like the song is sung from the point of view of a person who is "under [someone's] thumb", and the "soul survivor" is the one whose thumb the singer is under. |

| Frank Zappa – You Are What You Is Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
It's a little bit racist... Who says a black dude can't wear Jordache? Who says a person can't "change who they are"?? So, it's OK when a black guy changes who he is by taking up a hobby that's not particularly associated with white people, for example, he takes up the guitar. But, all of a sudden, if he takes up golf, because that's associated with white people, there's something contemptible about that? I don't understand that view. (I'm giving one obvious interpretation of what Frank says -- although I'm sure that's not *quite* what he's saying.) I think Frank is more saying that you shouldn't "change who you are", e.g. take up a hobby, *as part of a scheme to hide your roots.* So, don't take up golf because you're a self-hating black man, take it up if you like it. But between the possibility of interpreting this as Frank saying the blues is off-limits to white people, and golf off-limits for black people, and the exaggerated "Kingfish"-speak, this one pushes it. But that's what Frank is good at! BTW, I'd appreciate it if someone could clarify what the Kingfish is: A foolish young man From a middle class fam'ly Started singin' the blues 'Cause he thought it was manly Now he talks like the Kingfish ("Saffiiiee!") From Amos 'n Andy -What the hell is "Sariiee", wth is the Kingfish, and wth is Amos 'n Andy? |

| The Stone Roses – (Song For My) Sugar Spun Sister Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Hey, medonkey: you're dead on. It's not that I knew before I read your post and just happen to agree, but what you read is clearly right. About the common comments: I agree that many songs are about drugs (and I disagree with the people who claim that so many of the songs are actually blaming misery on drugs and generally making dope look shabby like some kind of public service announcement). HOWEVER, not every song is about drugs! How much more clearly could it be?!?!? "I'm in love with the candy floss girl"!!!! Let's go step by step: 1)Her hair Soft drifted snow Death white I'd like to know Why she hates All that she does But she gives it all that she's got Until the sky turns green The grass is several shades of blue Every member of parliament trips on glue Until the sky turns green And the grass is several shades of blue Every member of parliament trips on glue It takes all these things and all that time Till my sugar spun sister's happy With this love of mine It'll take all these things and oh much more ----OK, so he's got a girl who happens to be depressed and she just doesn't appreciate anything she does. Still, she does excellent things, and pours herself into what she does, e.g. loving him. She just doesn't realize how great she is and how great the things she does is. She also, however, apparently doesn't recognize *his* love, or feel satisfied with it. We can all imagine this type of character: intense, and depressed, and as part of the depression, this person doesn't realize how well and intensely they do things, for example love. (This, of course, tends to sabotage and cast a shadow on the well-ness of their deeds and their love.) This depressed character also doesn't appreciate the singer's love -- so he waits till she's happy with his love -- it'll take all these things and so much more. What kinds of things? Things like the sky turning green, the grass turning blue, and parliament getting high (or slipping? on glue -- all impossible, or improbable things. The point is, he doesn't think he'll ever please her, and he expresses this by saying that she'll be happy when he manages to accomplish impossible feats. (Or maybe it's not about him *accomplishing* them, it's more like "she'll be happy when pigs fly out of my ass", but it's not that it's his job to get the pigs up in his ass and train them to fly? Savvy? This point doesn't matter anyways. ) The point of this first section: She'll never be happy with his love, and the lover knows this. 2)I've paid For fifteen or more But my guts Can't take many more My hands are stuck To my jeans And she knows she knows What this must mean --OK, this is just mundane: he's bought a bunch of the candy floss (I guess this is what we call "cotton candy" in the US [the Roses are Brits]) and he's getting a stomach ache and doesn't think he'll eat anymore. (I'm not sure why he's bought so much at one time... but maybe it's just to impress her, or he's fumbled and bought the wrong amount because he's focused on her, or nervous, or love struck (i.e. dumb struck, and literally dumb). And his fingers are stuck to his jeans, and she knows what this means: it means he's been eating so damn much candy his fingers are sticky -- and he's still there in front of her at the "candy floss" (i.e. cotton candy) booth. What does she know *that* means? She knows that means he's enamored with her: he's sitting around eating what she's selling, just so he can be near her. 3)She wakes up with the sun She asked me what is all the fuss As she gave me more than she thought she should She wakes up with the sun I think what have I done As I gave her more than I thought I would, ohhh At takes all these things and all that time Till my sugar spun sister's happy With this love of mine Yeah yeah yeah That candy floss girl The sticky fingered boy Oh that sister of mine Yeah ---In part 3, it's apparent he's bedded her: he's with her when she wakes up early. And he just knows it takes a lot to gain and keep her love -- eating sh*t loads of candy, etc. Makes sense, no? At first, I thought sugar was meant to evoke some other white powder, and "spun" was indicative of that powder being a stimulant, which would fit with the dance-y Madchester thing the Roses had going -- but clearly this is a simple love song about a girl who sells candy at a fair. A good old love song about falling in love with the girl on the job, selling something sweet. And it's *not* about sugar walls or the kind of candy a prostitute sells -- it's about a real girl selling cotton candy and a man pursuing her! Who's with me and medonkey? |

| Tom Petty – Refugee Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
classicrockteen and FreddieIsMyIdol: Tom Petty is not underrated or by any means some sort of secret. It's funny how when people want to say they like someone a lot they always say "they're underrated". And why is there so few posts? I think it's because the song sounds pretty straightforward to a lot of people, thus they don't think they need to comment on it. But, if you really read the whole song, you find contradictions. Most people, I believe, latch onto the "somebody must've kicked you around some" line and think this is just about somebody who feels they've always got to be "on the run", not too dependent on anyone. But other lines are either not clear in meaning ("believe what you want to believe") and "who knows why you want to lay there and revel in your abandon" is weird because I thought we knew why -- cause she believes she has to live like a refugee! But, actually, when you read the first verse: We got somethin', we both know it, We don't talk too much about it. Yeah it ain't no real big secret, But somehow, we get around it. --when you read the first verse here, you see that the singer has this relationship with a girl who lives ilke a refugee, not depending on anyone, cause at some point someone she was tied to "kicked [her] around some". BUT, her and the singer do have a real relationship now, but they don't actually talk about it, about how close they really are. Then, I imagine, she does something that indicates she's waking up to how close she's gotten and now she's drawing away, and he's telling her he doesn't have to live like a refugee by leaving. Yeah. That sounds about right. :) |

| The Band – The Weight Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I just found the meaning of this song at this address: http://theband.hiof.no/articles/the_weight_viney.html Basically, there is no "meaning". It's not like "Hey Jude" where there is a "meaning" or a clear narrative or inspiration. Instead, Robbie Robertson (the man who wrote the lyrics) said "I just wrote it. It’s just one of those things. I thought of a couple of words that led to a couple more, and the next thing I knew I wrote the song," and he's also said "When I wrote ‘The Weight’, the first song for ‘Music From Big Pink’, it had a kind of American mythology I was reinventing using my connection to the universal language. The Nazareth in ‘The Weight’ was Nazareth, Pennsylvania." He was using very evocative language, which ends up sounding Biblical, i.e. great and mythical -- because there's not much language that digs deeper in the human soul to bring up images than the Bible. And "The Weight" manages to do the same as the Bible, in that respect. And it's also not dissimilar with regard to the difficulty in interpreting it! But, similarly or dissimilarly, that's because The Weight lacks a real story being told. Instead, he he uses the "Universal Language", really evocative and poetic language, to tell a story of travel and desperation and attachment with all the narrative "blanks" left unfilled, which actually leaves us to fill the blanks in with something that's not even put into words -- the imagery of a North American mythology. For me, I imagine him pulling into a Nazareth of whiskey stills and Appalachian old-timers, rural ghettos, rusty train cars rattling by, and guys with dogs that have only been fed whenever their owners got the chance. A beautiful song, the kind of song that conjures meanings up for each listener. This is one song where the comments on songmeanings that claim that the song has no "meaning" are well placed, although that is an asset in the case of this piece. |

| Queen – You're My Best Friend Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| StrawberryFields89 was right, I think. Even though other posters have said it was written by John Deacon, I think it may still have been about that chick that Freddie dated and who then went on to be his best friend throughout the rest of his life, or for quite a while at least. On VH1's behind the music I remember they showed them having a very close relationship. The song instantly made me remember that relationship. | |
| The Flaming Lips – Moth in the Incubator Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
He appears to be: ... ... talking about being born again... the first verse though he describes "Something in you, it jitters like a moth" and who knows what that means and then "And I see that your arms are out to God" -- I thought it said "And I see that your arms are out to cut", but I could be wrong. Either way, it sounds like he's describing something malevolent with a moth stuck in it. "And oh, they kill you when they talk" and this bast*rd thing is gossipy and dick headish too "It makes a mountain peak seem little when it's not " and he's such an enormous dick, this guy with the moth in em and the sharp arms, that it makes a mountain seem SMALL cause he's such a BIG dick. Then says your incubator is so tight, a passing vaginal reference, and then refers to being born again, apparently at the point where one is not quite born and is thinking about all the times they've done it before; at this stage of the rebirth game he's also already assessed the tightness of the incubator. However, he knows that brain dead is how it always ENDs. |

It's about people in big old groups having lots of fun. Or, now that I actually read it, it's about amusement parks. How amusing. And lame. That they wrote a song about Disney Land and Blackpool. Freddie and the Dreamers, come on up Hey you imitators, come on up Hey little singer, come on up Show us your house and Show us your cock The working class has been shafted So what the fuck you sneering at? Your prerogative in life it seems Is living out an ad man's dream Idiot Joy Showland Idiot Joy Showland Idiot Joy Showland Idiot Joy Showland Idiot Joy Showland |
