Modest Mouse – The Ground Walks, with Time in a Box Lyrics 7 years ago
This song tells the darker side of the story of America. Deforestation, Indian Removal, Needless destruction because of landlust. If you look back in time this is all true, as America was formed, people started to care less and less about the planet that gave them life and more about themselves and their wants, due to frequent distractions.
It depicts what has happened on human's 'travel through time'. Eventually, if this keeps happening, Earth will come to no good, and we will consequently be reversed in time.

Oasis – Champagne Supernova Lyrics 7 years ago
All though Gallagher may not realize it, his conscious did write this with a meaning behind it.

The first line, "how many special people change?" is him beginning to tell a friend about people beginning to move on in life.
"Where were you while we were getting high?" Can be taken literally, in the sense that Gallagher is now asking where that friend was when the rest of their 'gang' was hanging out getting high.
"Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball," is representative of the feeling of being high and having a good time. Like going very fast while still feeling like everything is in slow motion.
The lyrics "Someday, you will find me, caught beneath the landslide, in a champagne supernova in the sky." might be warning the friend that he got involved in something big, and something very bad could happen to him.
"Wake up the dawn and ask her why, a dreamer dreams she never dies." Is confusing, and could have a double meaning. It could be just nonsense, or it could have a very important meaning that is unbeknownst to me at the moment.
"Wipe that tear away nor from your eyes." Is a reassurance that even though something is happening, it might turn out ok, ending up with everyone being okay.
With the second "Someday, you will find me" chorus, It has become clear to me that this 'landslide' is a big fight, between two groups of friends that broke apart because of something that happening during one of the times that they were "getting high".
The rest of the song continues leading up before the fight, while also talking about getting out of school, and therefore not 'getting away for the summer'.

Deep Purple – Smoke on the Water Lyrics 7 years ago
Is everyone on here a nine year old with a head full of rocks? Can we not do some research?

Here is the real meaning of this song:


So, Deep Purple, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, and a few other bands came out to Montreaux, a town in Switzerland to record tha album "Machine Head" with a mobile recording studio that Deep Purple had rented from the Rolling Stones.
During a concert held at the Casino on the shoreline of Lake Geneva, "some stupid with a flare gun" shot a flare into the roof and started a fire. After the evacuation started, the flames spread out across Lake Geneva, bringing in the chorus of "Smoke on the Water, Fire in the sky.".
Soon, it was realized that not everyone made in out, but no one was willing to go back in except Claude Nobs, or "Funky Claude", who ran in and out of the burning casino, pulling burning kids out of the rubble.
After it was all said and done, they had to move the recordings and concert to another place.

Foster the People – Pumped Up Kicks Lyrics 7 years ago
This song is about a kid from the 1960s that goes on a rampage.

In the first two stanzas, he speaks in third person, creating a disturbing mood while describing the character and his situation.

The action starts with the chorus.

He starts threatening kids at shcool with the lines of: "All the other kids with the pumped up kicks better run, better run, faster than my bullet." These "pumped up kicks" are the shoes that the "cool" kids wear- the kids he is starting to shoot.
Later that night, after all the cool kids are dead, he waits at home for his dad to arrive.
"Daddy works a long day. He's coming home late, yeah he's coming home late and he's bringing me a surprise." This surprise is a beating, and the "working a long day" stuff is a cover up for going to the bar and getting drunk.
"I've waited for a long time. Yeah, the sleight of my hand is a quick pull trigger."
He's waited a long time for this moment. This is the moment he gets to get revenge on his dad by giving his dad a surprise- a bullet in the head from his "quick pull trigger" once he stumbles in the door.
Now that his dad is dead, the kid goes nuts.
"I reason with my cigarette. I say "your hair's on fire, must of lost your wits, yeah."" He starts talking to his cigarette as he goes over the events of the day in his head, bringing back the chorus.
