Insane Clown Posse – Pass Me By Lyrics 6 years ago
And for those who ain't down for the next man
Who rob from the poor, and snatch all ya can
And any chicken talkin' shit, lemme tell ya something
Hold a lighter to your balls, and you'll see what's coming

The lighter I think represents enlightenment, Balls could be heads, not nuts (as in the song Bowling Balls). Seeing what's coming helps us to avoid falling in Hell's Pit.

Insane Clown Posse – Miracles Lyrics 6 years ago
"It is in fact an optical phenomenon caused by light reflecting off the back of condensed water in the air, showing us the full spectrum of visible light. You can never touch it, and it will always appear to move away from you the closer you get."

Explain this to a blind person and see if he prefers the explanation of a rainbow or to actually see a rainbow.

Insane Clown Posse – Miracles Lyrics 6 years ago
@[bhope1:22483] Yu've missed the lesson. Giraffes have the biggest heart of any living land mammal and they stick their necks out. If people had bigger hearts and were more willing to take risks, the world would be a happier place. ICP teaches many lessons but they do so indirectly because not everyone is worthy of receiving the truth - they must work to find it.

Neutral Milk Hotel – The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1 Lyrics 11 years ago
Lyrics:
And this is the room
One afternoon I knew I could love you
And from above you how I sank into your soul
Into that secret place where no one dares to go

I think Mangum is using a double entendre here. The most obvious meaning is sex, but there's another meaning. The word "you" could mean Anne Frank. "And from above you how I sank into your soul" could mean that he is reading the diary from above, the book is below him, and he gets lost in it. "That secret place" could refer to Anne's diary, a diary is a secret place for lots of people.

Pixies – I've Been Tired Lyrics 13 years ago
I've never heard a song with more contradictions in my life, I can't believe everyone missed it. Kurt didn't, and he did the same thing with Nevermind, just a lot less.

Left winger cause she been down south. Southeners are mostly right-wing.

I could tell you a story that could make you cry. He repeats the exact same line back to her and shes amazed.

I like lou reed. any girl would run at that.

she said excuse me? she didnt get offended by the line, she just didn't hear him, cause he repeats it and she says please.

Hüsker Dü – She's A Woman (And Now He Is A Man) Lyrics 13 years ago
"I can see her loading boxes in my mind
Into a belvedere with a trailer pulled behind"

The narrator is expecting her to pack up and leave any day

"Well things didn't go exactly as they planned
She's a woman and now he is a man"

This is where it gets confusing, because there are several meanings that you can derive. Maybe they're fighting, perhaps physically. But my guess is that they're both cheating on each other.

"There's a vacancy between them everyday
And a sense of guilt that's not going away
When they get older perhaps they'll understand
She's a woman and now he is a man"

This seems to fit in with cheating. But it could also fit in with other things.

And to think, first time I heard this, I thought it was about a woman that got a sex change.

Rainbow – Man On The Silver Mountain Lyrics 14 years ago
It sounds like a cocaine dealer. "Man on the silver mountain" A white pile of coke, that the man is selling. It also means that he's high.

Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name
"Come and make me holy again"

Someone's asking him to get him high, again.

I'm the day, I'm the day
I can show you the way
And look, I'm right beside you

Self-explanatory

Well, I can help you, you know I can
I'm the man on the silver mountain

He can help someone get high.

Gary Numan – Are 'Friends' Electric? Lyrics 14 years ago
It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

[He's in a crappy hotel or motel room]

Now the light fades out
And I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you

[It's turning night time, he's unsure if he should be here.
Someone knocks on his door, it's the girl, Gail.
His memory of that night stops as soon as he thinks of her.]

So I open the door
It's the 'friend' that I'd left in the hallway
Please sit down
A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed

[It's Gail, he has sex with her (shadow near the bed, candle light)]


You know I hate to ask
But, are `friends' electric?
Mine's broke down
And now I've no one to love

[Are friends something you can just turn off and on? Do they break down or go haywire at times?
Gary's machine has broken down (paranoia, cynicism and mistrust), he can't be a friend to anybody anymore.]

So now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals
And *issues*
And things that I just don't understand
Like a white lie that night
Or a slight touch at times
I don't think it meant anything to you

[He's reflecting on what happened, by himself; she's gone.
A white lie that night, a slight touch.
She's only having sex with him to get him to date her friend, Su.
She doesn't love him.]

So I find out your reason
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts
And I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
So it's time to leave
You see this means everything to me.

[He finds out the real reason behind the event.
He misses her, that night of sex meant everything to him.
"I should never have tried" also indicates depression]

By the way, the Sugababes' cover of Adina Howard's "Freak Like Me" samples the verse's synth track of this song.

Hüsker Dü – It's Not Funny Anymore Lyrics 14 years ago
The song is about people who don't get their priorities straight. In school, they don't care about schoolwork, they only want to have a good time. They quit school or don't go to college, or score drugs and drink booze.

However, when they are struggling, trying to look for a minimum wage job or living on welfare, and starving or homeless or both, "It's not funny anymore."

"Find out who you really are
And don't pay any attention to me"

Exactly the same view I have: Don't listen to me though, find out for yourself where you'll be in a few years, because you didn't care.

Mercyful Fate – Satan's Fall Lyrics 14 years ago
"Use your demon eyes, uncover the disguise
Time is out.. Yeah, I don't need your god
Oh the law of Satan
Pray and obey it forever
Oh the law of Satan"

I think King Diamond is talking about the bible, and how Christianity has done many EVIL things in the name of God. It makes more sense to see it as doing it in the name of SATAN, not God. As you guys should know, Christianity's beliefs ARE NOT Jesus' beliefs.

Billy Talent – Nothing To Lose Lyrics 14 years ago
True. High sensitivity is a trait, which means that it doesn't disappear. When teachers say you're oversensitive, that's exactly what you are and there's not a thing you can do about the trait itself.

Obviously, unfortunately, much of Western culture see this as a bad thing, while countries like China see this as a good thing. The trick is to disassociate yourself from others, accept who you are, realize that since no one understood you, no one really knew you. Also, sensitive people are also unusually smart and creative.

Dead Kennedys – Anarchy For Sale Lyrics 14 years ago
The thing that i love about the Dead Kennedys is that no matter how old their music is, their message is just as strong and meaningful today as it was years ago. Jello's smart enough to know what would happen before it did, because it's happened before. The pals with big bucks (who have some control over what the mainstream listens to) finds something, commercializes it and markets it, and leave it to die while they go forward again. Somebody with money "discovered" something that somebody with no money made, and made money off him and it. 60s Rock, counterculture, disco, 80s hardcore punk, 90s grunge.

I read a comment earlier about why "preps" can't listen to Punk. Anyone can listen to Punk. However, if your best idea of Punk is Green Day, that's not the same Punk. It's the mainstream's commercialized poppy cock-rock version of Punk. You find out you're a poser, you can't accept it, you hate it, and you try even harder to get people to think you're something that you're not.

Stereotypes get tossed around, such as how your hair "should" look like, and if you're in a Punk band, you must be dull and dim-witted, but that's the commercialization of it. Rules? Punk doesn't have any fucking rules! You will never find the word "should" in a Punk Rock dictionary. Punk is all about being yourself.

If you truly find respect in your beliefs, opinions, and faiths, then you will want to contribute and support them. This is the essence of Punk Rock music. To go against popular beliefs (if they are not your own) and to question everything is to become a Punk. Punk is not something you buy, it's something you are. If you have no authenticity, you're a poser.

The "I'm in love with that song" is sung in the same style as "In the street" by Big Star, written by Alex.

Instead of the lyrics:

"I'm in love. (pause) What's that song? (pause) I'm in love (pause) with that song."

Try singing instead:

"Hanging out, (pause) down the street (pause) The same old thing (pause) we did last week"

Bad Religion – Billy Lyrics 14 years ago
The song is obviously not about any of the band members. Billy is a person that a lot of us know in real life. His or her name does not matter.

It's about having a dream, but a lack of insight and intuition made it impossible to achieve it. Sensing that he/she was failing, combined with a plummet in self-confidence, he/she decided that nothing was worth doing, since he/she wasn't going to achieve anything anyway, or at least that's what he/she is thinking. Trading his future for a needle and a spoon is only 1 event in a series of many, influenced by his/her lack of drive. But it is the last and worst event.
