| The Avett Brothers – Famous Flower of Manhattan Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
“If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.” ― Osho Just heard this quote today. I can't imagine the song isn't at least partly based off of it. |

| Mclusky – Kkkitchens, What Were You Thinking? Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I would think a store named that would be intentional. At least in America it would be. There's a Koffee Kup Kafe not too far from where I live. And it is definitely intentional. | |
| Evil Cowards – Sex Wars Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| The lyric is actually "This is a sex war and we ain't going AWOL." Away With Out Leave | |
| NOFX – The Quitter Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song does seem to be about Smelly. I wonder how he felt about that? Maybe they didn't tell him the lyrics until after they recorded the drum tracks. That would be hilarious. | |
| Big D and the Kids Table – NNH Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This song is about a guy named Nate and apparently it pissed him off a whole lot when he heard it. Heard this from the band in an interview. | |
| Streetlight Manifesto – The Receiving End of it All Lyrics | 16 years ago |

| Streetlight Manifesto – Forty Days Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"I've tasted seven sins, so they won't let me in I knock knock knock until my knuckles are bruised and raw" Seven deadly sins. He is knocking at the gates of heaven and not getting in. "What a way to begin: we inherit sin." is about original sin. Christian beliefs even if you live a perfect life without being a christian you'll still go to hell. |

To be honest, I don't get the whole thinking the government is evil yet also being against citizens having guns things. If Propagandhi think the government is so bad don't they want the citizens having guns to protect themselves? |

| NOFX – We Threw Gasoline On The Fire And Now We Have Stumps For Arms And No Eyebrows Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I heard this song on tv before an NBA game. It seemed to fit nofx. All ironic and cleverly satirical. | |
| Kisschasy – With Friends Like You Who Needs Friends? Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Maybe I just have a twisted mind but first time I read these lyrics I thought they were totally creepy. I interpreted them in like Jeffrey Dahmer style...getting the girls and then LITERALLY putting them on his shelf...or at least part of them. No? |

| NOFX – Doornails Lyrics | 18 years ago |

| Why does it say \"two shots\". Surely he didn\'t shoot himself twice ? | |
| The Mighty Mighty Bosstones – Desensitized Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The song discusses the way that the media has turned every trivial thing into an event. No matter how big or how small the event really is the media has the power to turn it into whatever serves them best. The song also addresses the idea that because of media and media coverage the world is desensitized to images that would ordinarily be very emotional and meaningful. The final words of the song are, "Sadly we're desensitized To all the scandals and the cover ups The conspiracies and lies." We live in a country that one day people are watching television and the next thing you know on live television John F. Kennedy is being shot. The American public is constantly being bombarded by graphic pictures of all backgrounds, from murder scenes to starving children. There are constantly stories of conspiracies, scandals, theft, and political lies. |

I couldn't tell what he said at the end of this song in the catch 22 version and I can't tell in this version. I was hoping they'd put it in the lyric book this time. Oh well. :-( Oh! And don't insult this song. I love it. If anyone figures out what the real lyrics are they should email me or something. |

| Rx Bandits – Decrescendo Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
God, no one ever posts about the meanings anymore. I just have to waste my time everytime I sign on here reading about how EVERY band is great.....even though Rx Bandits actually is. But that's beside the point! Anybody got a take on the meaning of the song ? I'm especially curious of the meaning of "So find the fakest elation, I hope it takes you away. And I've got it all worked out now, Just a memory, picture frames illusion." Anyway, this concludes my hypocritical post, in which I offer no meaning myself. |

| Sublime – Burritos Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| It seems so incredibly obvious it is just about staying out late and getting a hangover. It seems so obvious to me, what is with these other interpretations ? You are creating what isn't really in the lyrics. | |
| NOFX – Party Enema Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I learned in alcohol awareness class that super-alcoholics after they destroy their esophagus lining and can no longer drink alcohol through the mouth they give themselves alcohol enemas. The teacher didn't explain the details (even though we demanded them) but apparently they just get drunk through the butthole....go figure. | |

| Transplants – D.J. D.J. Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Eternallygrunge, it'd be a lot easier to understand "eat shit tim armstrong is the shit but theres no way they should have left rob out " if you used at least occasional punctuation. There's so many ways to interpret that statement when you type everything in all lower-case with no punctuation. Anyway, I think when Tim sings "This is for the misfits, the freaks and the runts Fuck the motherfuckin back stabbin cunts " It is supposed to be two seperate statements. Like the two aren't related. This is for "the misfits, the freaks, and the runts". And fuck the "motherfuckin back stabbin cunts" Two different groups of people. Then again I could be wrong. |

I think the title Id has to do with this theory of personalities written by Freud. It's one of the 3 parts (the id, the ego, and the superego) I'm sure you could find out more about it in an encyclopedia but I don't have time right now. ENCYCLOPEDIA ====> www.wikipedia.net |

| Anti-Flag – Gifts From America: With Love, the U.S.A. Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
hahahaha. I'm writing this as I'm very very tired. Excuse any shit I say that is dumb. Anyhow, just because they drive cars doesn't mean they support going over to another country and killing people just so they can have more of it. Also it's funny that you assumed they all have big cars. I just like the idea of Justin driving a giant gas guzzling Hummer. Or maybe I don't like the thought. I don't fucking know. I'm tired. Goodnight. George Bush is a killer. Anti-Flag and "low life punks" aren't. |
