Superb. Thanks for your contribution. I'm glad I wasn't really far off anywhere besides the mid-section. Some great lyrics here.

Enter Shikari – Stalemate Lyrics 12 years ago
Hey thanks for that.
The first one has to be a typo in the booklet though, surely? There's no way he's singing anything but billionaires out of millionaires. Not that it matters right now though, the lyrics have been replaced beyond my power to edit them at this time!

The Damned Things – A Great Reckoning Lyrics 13 years ago
The feigns of the heart = affairs of the heart.

Wellness = awareness

and the ending:
Tonight I am ending the world
Tonight I am ending the world
Every night I am ending the world
This is my great reckoning

Otherwise
Good job, amazing song.

The Damned Things – We've Got a Situation Here Lyrics 13 years ago
Thanks people. Seems about right now.
Anyway as for the song's actual meaning, I recall reading an interview somewhere with Keith in which he discussed some of the band's lyrics. As far as I remember this song's just about...a difficult situation he found himself in one time. I don't really remember specifics, and unfortunately can't seem to find it again, but the lyrics are more introspective and personal than they first seem. Looking at them again now they do seem much more specific, like they had been tailored to describing a situation rather than discussing a broader subject matter. And obviously that fits better with the title.
Well that's pretty much all I've got to contribute.

My Chemical Romance – Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na) Lyrics 13 years ago
A couple of bits and pieces for deathb4birth's post that immediately jumped out at me as being off, maybe these are closer...

"Eight legs to the wall"

"And I’ll keep it in a bag, in a box
With an X on the floor"

"Remember when you were a mad man?
Thought you was Batman, and hit the party with a gas can
Kiss me you animal"

Chorus is pretty hard to hear because of the nananas. Good start though.

Atreyu – Gallows Lyrics 14 years ago
Agreed.
It's about fear of being successful, or fear of failing trying to achieve success.

I read an interview somewhere where Alex seems to get across that he feels their last album was something of a copout, and that they maybe didn't try hard enough or get the musical style right on that record and went off-track. This song seems to speculate on why he feels like that about Lead Sails Paper Anchor.

Enter Shikari – No Sleep Tonight Lyrics 15 years ago
Corrections :)

And I'm thinking what's the deal
With the facts that they conceal?
And I'm thinking what's the harm
In a bit of rhetoric and charm?
And I can't quite comprehend
A beginning or an end
No I can't quite stomach this, no

You and me we're gonna take
To the skies for common sake
We'll fly amongst the cirrus clouds
20,000 feet we’ll clock the crowds
And from that height we'll leak the lies
And unveil the damaged skies
'Cause we can't quite stomach this
(All I’m trying to say is)
You're not getting any sleep tonight

The sun and sea could power us
No longer cower in our oil lust
Chernobyl is still a stain
Of the dangers of this game
I still can't quite comprehend
A beginning or an end
No I can't quite stomach this

(All I'm trying to say is)
You're not getting any sleep tonight

We’ll embark on our great voyage to the sun
And we'll be 90 million miles from anything or anyone
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?

Yeah

(All I'm trying to say is)
You're not getting any sleep tonight
We depart for our great voyage to the sun
We'll be 90 million miles from anything or anyone
Just like the ocean we won’t be pacific anymore
No longer in coexistence with other species, this is flawed

You're not getting any sleep tonight

Enter Shikari – Zzzonked... Lyrics 15 years ago
Various corrections from the booklet

Mate! I'm zonked, absolutely spent
I think I'm gonna give my eyes up for lent
I’ll use my sockets to stock stones instead
And with an icy cold stare I'll hide bones in your bed
Mate! Please accept this invitation
So I can take you away
Cause there's a one in forty thousand chance
That Asteroid Apophis
Will collide with the Earth in less than twenty years
(Oh my god!)
Roll up for the knees up business
Yes yes yes I think we’ve heard quite enough from you

Instead of staring at your Stella desperately for inspiration
Belt up and quiver at your indignation
I ain't saying anything that can be construed as an apology
There's another case study of anthropology
Let's announce embargos and denounce our far foes
Ingrowing egos a syntax he knows
It's just distance that seperates us
Or are we really all ethno-centrically inclined?

Mate! What the fuck are you going on about?
This is a draconian law I protest!
I protest

The herd is rowdy
The squad is vexed

Marmaduke Duke – Rubber lover Lyrics 15 years ago
There are mistakes in the verses. It is Mothman.

Johnny had a pink rubber lover, pinned her to the roof of his house
The Mothman prophesised some good times, well maybe he's just callin' out
Funky all the way home, it's regular except for the number 666
Funky all the way home, funky all the way home
Girl, you're making me scream, my rubber lover

Johnny had A.N.Other lover, pinned her to the roof of his house
The Mothman prophesised some good luck, maybe he's just callin' out
Funky all the way home, it's regular except for the number 666
Funky all the way, funky all the way home
Girl, you're making me scream, my rubber lover
Funky all the way home, you're making me scream, my rubber lover

Conor Oberst – NYC-Gone, Gone Lyrics 15 years ago
The simplicity of this song is what makes it so great.
Yeah, the lyrics aren't exactly the most complex, deepest thing ever to come from Conor. There's plenty of material by him to listen to if that's what you're after. This is something different and fun and it really works, especially live :)
