| Duncan Sheik – She Runs Away Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This is exactly what my ex-girlfriend keeps telling me... "Why don't you let it go?" "Sometimes the more you wonder why, the worse it seems to get." And she runs away. We've been on and off for years now, and each time she leaves, it just kills me. And I'm thinking it over anyway. |

Anyone else notice that this whole song was made with GarageBand loops? Great song, but still. |

| Soul Coughing – Screenwriter's Blues Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I love how this conjures a film noir feel. I finally have it memorized. Now I need a fedora, a trench coat and a pack of cigarettes. | |
| Mike Doughty – Unsingable Name Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I know what he I means. I really do want to see the mountains in silhouette. | |
| Blink-182 – Adam's Song Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I like the kind of response to Nirvana's "Come As You Are". | |
| Mike Doughty – 27 Jennifers Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I love this song, but damn it reminds me of standardized testing... | |
| Mike Doughty – Looking at the World From the Bottom of a Well Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"Looking at the world from the bottom of a well" is an allegory to only being able to see a fraction of the world, the big picture. I'm guessing this is (at least mostly) about a girl. |
|
| The Stone Roses – Love Spreads Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Sounds like the guy is in love with a woman in an abusive relationship. He draws a parallel to the crucifixion. | |
| The Rolling Stones – You Can't Always Get What You Want Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
He's not "crazy" he's just a bit mentally disabled. And he certainly doesn't harass people. Here, I took a picture (of a picture) of him; framed in Licks, an icecream shop in Excelsior (if you're in the area, you can visit it). http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y276/Agivith/MrJimmy.jpg I apologize for the low quality, I took it with my cell phone. |

I love this song. The clips are from David Blaine's TV show, after he did the levitation illusion. Well, he is Jewish. |

| Secret Machines – The Road Leads Where It's Led Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Someone here would have to find a way to make this about Iraq or columbine... I don't think this is about either. It might not be about anything. It's a great song though. |

| Pinback – AFK Lyrics | 19 years ago |

A tell is usually the universal word for private messages in MMOs. Though... maybe it is about pirates... |
|
| Coldplay – Swallowed in the Sea Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I love this song. Even if it's some "metaphorical sea" being referred to, the song has a kind of sea-like feel to it. I always think of Chris singing this on a ship out at sea. Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what instrument is used right after he sings "Get lost and then get found or swallowed in the sea" in the first verse. It sounds like some kind of wind instrument, though it could be some kind of guitar pedal. | |

Why is it 26th? There was no riot on the 26th! Song kicks ass though. |

| Coldplay – Fix You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I didn't know this was on the OC o_0 But I guess never watch that show anyway. I first saw it live on The Leak. It's another great original song. It sounds kind of like a break-up song. |

| Jack Johnson – Belle Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This is from an interview with Jack: "Another joke. My wife speaks a little bit of French. We went traveling around Europe together years ago. It's probably the oldest song I have. I kind of learned these bossa nova chords. And I was joking with her, basically saying, 'Hey beautiful' in a lot of different languages and then said, 'Je ne comprend pas francais' — which is 'I don't understand [French]' in French — 'so you'll have to speak to me some other way.' I toyed around with that in the studio and ended up liking it and put it on the record." I love this song, it's so simple and kind of funny. |
|
| Mint Royale – Don't Falter Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It's pretty obvious, the song is about a girl that meets a guy who makes her feel good (like summer time). This song embodies summer time. In fact, the entire album represents all that is summer, in order. |
|
| Dispatch – The General Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Oh wow, I never eve thought about this song being about Jesus, but now looking at the lyrics there is SO much more meaning that I didn't see. "Go now you are forgiven" Was almost straight out of the Bible. Such as when Jesus heals the paralyzed man. "I will no other to follow me where I'm going" Jesus says something similar to this to Peter I believe. It is also referenced more obviously in "Theologians" by Wilco "Where I'm going you cannot come" "But the men stood fast with their guns on their shoulders Not knowing what to do with the contradicting orders The General said he would do his own duty but he would extend it no further The men can go as they please Not a man moved their eyes gazed straight ahead, Till one by one they stepped back and not a word was said And the old general was left with his own words echoing in his head He then prepared to fight " This is a reference to the eve of Jesus' crucifixion. At first I did think this was simply an anti-war song, but it's actually steeped with Biblical symbolism. |

| Also, I think this song is about how he wishes real life was like a game where you can always restart. | |
| Pinback – Offline P.K. Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Offline Player Killer - another MMORPG reference. //and any computer nerd or windows user knows that the line "just restart and hope that everything will be alright" is 100% truth ...// xD so true |

A touching song about a man and his... goldfish. And yet it still kicks ass. |
|
| Pinback – AFK Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Yeah, AFK stands for "away from keyboard" it's used online, mostly in MMOs I think that's why he says "no one uses the phone anymore." I just heard of this band when "Fortress" played on the radio. It reminded me of The Verve. I love this music. |

| Eminem – Mosh Lyrics | 19 years ago |

| Eminem – Mosh Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Heh, I was planning on reading all of these comments, but there are just way too many pointless ones. To philly: I remember a story when I was a kid about a boy who was throwing starfish back into the ocean as the tide went back down. He was approached by a man who asked why he was even trying, there were millions of star fish on the beach, how could you possibly make a difference. The boy threw another starfish into the water and responded "I made a difference for that one". I hope this is self-explanatory. I thought the video was interesting, I liked the style. I didn't like how (because of the time it was released) it was basically another political commercial. Maybe if it had been released a couple months after the election I'd honor it (though that would kind of make less sense on the video). Also, what's up with MTV lately? I never remember them being so radical when it came to politics. It started out with the "Choose or Lose" but soon became "Choose Kerry or Lose". I especially enjoyed the "Gay Doughnut" commercial, as I call it; I could not stop laughing. Using doughnuts was probably a bad idea, as I interpreted them as representing something else... Anyway... Perhaps what led to my more conservative ideals was the fact that every mindless angsty teen was an extreme liberal. I know that more than half of the kids at my school didn't even know what was going on but were running around yelling "Fuck Bush!". This is how I see Eminem with this song. |

| Beck – The New Pollution Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It means nothing Greggy, but you have an interesting imagination. Music lyrics don't need meaning to make an amazing song as Beck demonstrates in almost all of his hits. | |
| Gorillaz – Left Hand Suzuki Method Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Katei de mai-nichi Gakushu-you no *record* wo kikase, Ongaku-teki *sense* wo takameru. Sensoo sou ii kedo Sou inyo to demo. The most important thing, is listening to the recording of the music. It makes them get a musical sense - and, uh - this is the point of the... fast progress! *Tunization* wo mai-nichi *lesson* shido shite, Oto wo rippa ni sodateru. And also, everyday, every lesson We have to make sure They're not lying about tunization! You can't leave out the Japanese! That's the best part! Anyway, if you were wondering the English is just a translation of what she is saying in Japanese The English words thrown in "Lesson" and "record" would be written in katakana so they would be pronounced much differently than English. |

XD I love this song, it's hilarious. "Got Rice bitch? Got Rice? Got food, got soup, got spice?" lol That always gets stuck in my head |
|
| Coldplay – Warning Sign Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I know it's probably not what the song is intended for, but it reminds me of a classmate that commited suicide. Because I kept telling myself that I didn't even like them anyway. After they were gone I realized that I could have gotten to know him much better than I did and I did in fact miss him. Now in health class we were learning about suicide preventions and "Warning Signs", it kept reminding me of this song and him. | |
| Coldplay – The Scientist Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
The first time I heard this was while watching the music video, it is sooo sad. It was genius though to have it running backwards so you only find out what happened at the end, and then as they're going backwards on the road they look so happy but the song is sad because you know whats going to happen. BTW does anyone know who that girl is? She's also in the "trouble" music video. She looks just like my friends sister. |
|
| Coldplay – Don't Panic Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Definitely an awesome song! It goes by so quickly that you just have to play it again. I really wish I understood the music video, they look kinda funny all made of paper. | |
| Coldplay – Moses Lyrics | 20 years ago |

| Coldplay – What the World Needs Now Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I wish he would have sung the whole song! He prolly didn't know the words lol, but he would do well doing a whole cover with the band and all of this song. | |
| Coldplay – Sparks Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I love how it's kind of like slow easy jazz, it's perfect for like a rainy day when you're stuck somewhere or on a car trip. | |
| Coldplay – Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| lol | |
| The Verve – Bittersweet Symphony Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Ya, this song does make me want to walk down the street running into people! lol It does have a great music video though, I love how he's just oblivious to everyone and everything. I've tried doing this in the hallway at school, it was really funny because it seems like everyone just gets out of your way. | |
| Bob Marley and the Wailers – One Love Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I love this song! Especially because it's so religious. Also, come on people, neenzabeen, if you truly aren't heartless, then don't act that way. And jpf never insulted you in any way, you didn't need to start cussing. You know, you are representing atheists just like I represent Catholics, and you are giving atheists a bad name. atheism is a group, maybe it's just a coincidence, but anyone I've seen proclaiming themselves as an atheist act very inconsiderate, rude and always irrate. Anyways, I don't want to start another online religious war. Hope I haven't already ^ ^; As Bob Marley says "Let's get together and feel alright" |

| Gary Jules – Mad World (Tears for Fears cover) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| BTW, I think this song is basically a very depression version of "Ants Marching" by Dave Matthew's Band. Its about how we live our lives doing the same thing everyday. I actually pointed this out to the other kids that sit at my lunch table. That weekend one of them commited suicide. I have to feel some guilt. | |
| Gary Jules – Mad World (Tears for Fears cover) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
The lyrics up there are incorrect, so I don't know how to correct them myself, but just a few minor things (those lyrics are the original Tears for fears lyrics) All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow And I find it kinda funny I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very mad world mad world Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday Made to feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson Look right through me, look right through me And I find it kinda funny I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very mad world ... world Enlarge your world Mad world I don't get the "Enlarge in your world" thing at the end, but it sounds cool. I'm trying to play this on the piano, it's really hard because you play one key then a chord with just your left hand. Anyways, great song! And I have to see this movie! |

Like BearFan said: http://launch.yahoo.com/read/news.asp?contentID=162346 It's right there from the artist for you to read, it is about the suicide of Columbine High School Student. Also, it doesn't promote suicide, it says that suicide is a bad decision "The choice was mine I didn't think enough" Like: "Huh, maybe I should have thought it through before I killed myself" I like how this song seems like it is from the point of view of a person that's already dead. |

| The Rolling Stones – You Can't Always Get What You Want Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I live in Excelsior, so I should know! Ya Mr. Jimmy is still alive, and you won't find a single person in Excelsior that doesn't know; him Jimmy Hutmaker is his full name. He almost always has a cigar (though I don't know if he does so often now, he had a stroke a while back). He is always walking around town talking to himself or other people, you can always find him. And I in fact did see him just the other day, I was on the way to Minnetonka music. He's a nice guy (a little strange, but nice). | |
