That is something amazing about life in genral, one thing can take ten different meanings depending who you talk to. There is a stutterfly lyric that i really like... He says "Severed fragments of my being
Pieced together, give life meaning.
Fragile quilts of faded memories" I know, not the most genius lyric in the world but it means alot to me because when you peice little small parts of life together that is what makes it important...and memories are a big part of my life... so the quilt of faded memories part just speaks to me. Give me a lyric (or lyrics) you like and tell me what it/they mean to you :]
Give me a song lyric you like, and analyze it...what does it mean to you? :]?

One last phone call from you, it wouldn't hurt much,
I'd just like to hear your voice and pretend to touch,
Any inch of you that hasn't said it all or read it all
Or sung my life away
Intense :P we've all felt lonely, or felt like someone dumped you on your *** and never called, or felt like no one cared :-]

"I want to face the fear, and not feel scared"
Its self explanitory..but its very deep but understandable at the same time
but it means different things to every person

'Been singin' for my rent and singin' for my supper
I'm above the below and below the upper
I'm stuck in the middle where money gets tight
But I guess I'm doin' alright'
That so describes my life - especially the 'stuck in the middle where money gets tight' part. But overall , I'm doing alright!
Reply:hmm..i like the Fray's How to Save A Life lyrics. the one where it says "i lost a friend along the bitterness" means to me like he was lost in his own..well bitterness that they lost each other along the way. i like it because its pretty simple and it sorta happened to me before so yay i can relate to the lyrics.
Reply:Rush, "Subdivisions"
Some will lose their dreams for small desires
And lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere to relax their restless flight.
--------------To me, this means that some people trade their dreams for material things, and soon they find that time (ticking traps) has gone on and they are trapped in this prison and they can only dream of breaking away because they lack the courage to do anything but what they have always done. I hear this song and hope that I never become one of those people.

What is a dual-quad and what are three deuces?
Hi, I've been listening to Beach Boys music and have a few questions. In 4-0-9, the phrase, "4-speed, dual-quad, positraction 409" crops up and in Little GTO you have, "three deuces and a four-speed and a 389". I'm guessing that both refer to carbs of some type, but what are the meanings of the words, dual, quad, three and deuces according to their usage in the songs?
What is a dual-quad and what are three deuces?
As I recall, dual quads is two four-barrel carburetors, and three deuces is three two barrels.
Reply:Four Barrel carburators are the quads. Dual quads meant you had two them. Positraction is a transmission. Four speed was a transmission.
I had a GTo but can't remember the rest of the phrases.
Reply:In 4-0-9 the phrase 4 speed means the transmission, dual-quad means 2 four barrel carbs and positraction means the rear end (differential). And I'm sure you know what "409" means. It was an engine in those days. 3 deuces means 3- 2 barrel carbs. The 389 was also an engine size.
Reply:dual quads is 2 ,4 barrel carbs, and 3 deuces are 3 ,2 barrel carbs
Reply:Others are correct, dual quad refers to two four barrel carburetors and three deuces means three two barrel carburetors. However, positraction is with regards to the rear axle being a limited slip differential.
Reply:The 409 was a medium duty truck engine that was modified by GM to become a "performance engine "
. It had a large cubic inch displacement at 409 cubic inches. Compared to a modern V8 it was pretty low tech, and didn't have a very efficient design, but in th early sixties, it was boss.
The "four speed " was a four speed manual transmission, with a floor mounted shifter. This set up was usually mated with a high performance Sheiffer heavy duty racing clutch, with a really hard to push in clutch pedal. This allowed for "bang shifting " without blowing up the clutch assembly.
The dual quad carb set up would be a set of two oppossed ( set up across from each other on a special aluminimum intake manifold ) that used Holley 850 cfm carbs with dual pumper fuel pumps to get as much fuel load into the carbs as possible. Really hard to set up and balance properly.
The "positraction rear end ' was a expensive aded option on the GTO. It locks the two rear axels, so that the maximum "straight ahead traction " could be put to the rear wheels. Good design, but a pain in the rear end in the rain, if you forgot and floored the car......it would do a 180 loop and you would get laughed at by your buddies.....
The " three dueces and a 389 " reffers to the slightly less potent GTO 389 cubic inch model. The 3 carbs were the Stromberg model 97's , which had been a standard "hot rodder " carb , since the late 1940's. Again hard to set up and keep them balanced, due to the complicated linkages and floats.
These were the days of people actually " building their own cars" by starting with a big displacement V eight and "hot rodding it " by shaving the heads, replacing factory cam shaft and pistons, multiple carbs, and making their car lighter by removing as much weight as they could get away with. Lowered and chopped bodies, and custom paint jobs, with flames.

Are there any slang meanings for "Die Brut" in german?
It is in the lyrics of a dance-music (EBM) song.
Are there any slang meanings for "Die Brut" in german?
In German Brut has two very different meanings:
Brut : brood, spawn
Brut: mob; lot
Reply:it also could mean 'The Spawn'!
Reply:It hard to tell because i don't know the lyrics but there is actually no slang meaning to that word: it simply means "offspring" or "brood"
Reply:To die, is zu sterben in German. The Brut I am not sure I ever heard a word in that context, but "Die Brut, would come out as:"Stirb Du Gauner, or Stirb Dreckscbwein, Stirb Du Sau....
Reply:i think it means bread/bread roll so i doubt its slang.
i am not sure whether this helps
good luck

Do u know any nursery ryhmes with hidden meanings???
apart from ring around the rosy and sing a song of six pence. i already know about those 2.
Do u know any nursery ryhmes with hidden meanings???
Three Blind Mice: There is an urban legend that this musical round was written earlier and refers to Queen Mary I of England executing three Protestant bishops. The earliest lyrics don't talk about directly killing the three blind mice and are dated after Queen Mary died, however, "she scrapte her tripe licke thou the knife" implies they were prepared and consumed if not a reference to tasting the blood of a slain adversary.
London Bridge Is Falling Down: It relates to the many difficulties experienced in bridging the River Thames : London's earlier bridges did indeed "wash away" before a bridge built of "stone so strong" was constructed.
Humpty Dumpty: Described Humpty Dumpty as a siege tower, used by the Cavaliers (King's Men) during the English civil war. Unfortunately, as it was poorly designed, the tower often toppled over when it was full of men and broke. Hence, "All the King's horses and all the King's men, couldn't put Humpty together again."
Reply:london bridges is about the london brideg litterally falling down and killing people i think.
alouette is about ripping off a bird's head.
and clementine is about a girl who drowns and how she's "pushin' up daisies now"...
it's way hilarious if you look up the lyrics
Reply:that one were a rocking baby bed falls off of a cliff or something!! wtf that one is screwd up!
Reply:"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, How I wonder where You are" Is, in reality a Budget Increase Request from NASA !
Reply:The "itsy bitsy spider" is about sex. Asian men ofcourse, itsy bitsy doesn't fit anyone else.
Reply:Apparently 'Pop goes the weasel" is a nursery rhyme that tells how they used to mix rice and treacle for the little weasels to eat, and when they had gorged themselves, the rice would swell and literally make their bellies 'pop' ! Sounds cruel doesn't it?
Half a pound of tuppenny rice, half a pound of treacle,
Mix it up and make it nice,
POP goes the weasel !!

Kya maine socha, aur kya huwa
Kya dil ne chaaha, aur kya mila
Ab jeet kaisi, aur haar kya
Kispe bharosa, aitbaar kya
Phir bhi dil mein aas hai
Aankhon mein talaash hai
Tum jo saath ho, ik subaah aayegi
Roshni jo laayegi ho..
Ab ki jo raat ho
One love, har tan kahe
One love, mil kar rahe
One love, ik aasmaan haan ik jahaan
One love, naya josh hai
One love, nayi soch hai
One love, hamein hai yaqeen
One love is all we need

Does anyone know any web sites to find what a band's albums mean?
I try finding song meanings, but not really expert answers, just people leaving comments about liking or disliking a song.
Does anyone know any web sites to find what a band's albums mean?
Dude, that's one of the purposes of Yahoo! Answers!. ;P Now give us a song to dissect. Also remember, besides marketing (good answer pofdog!) all songs are to be interpruted by the 'listener' not the 'songwriter'. I've written over 5000 songpoems and yes, I could tell you what I was thinking on about 100 of them! LOL! The other 4900 I leave up to the listener because when I'm writing I go into 'writing mode' which is like a dreamstate. The words just come with no forethought and form the song. So being the writer sometimes leaves me as clueless and the listener, only luckily my listeners seem to 'get it' when they listen. Even when I don't. So one song could mean 50 different things to 50 different people and that's what good songwriting is, to an extent. ;P
Reply:Why do you think that a bands song has to have some interpersonal meaning? Most times the albums just have what the producers think is a good name that will sell it. AGAIN, why do you spend your time trying to figure out what they mean? You will never find out most because there is NO MEANING besides the marketing value.
Reply:This web site seems to be what you're looking for. People offer opinions on what they think the song is about and whether they like it or not.
http://www.songmeanings.net/
Reply:Normally I look for an interview with the band on YouTube. Often networks like Fuse will interview a band and that almost always seems to be a question if they have a new album out.

Meanings of each of these Cold War Kids songs...?
i know it may be a bit much and some may be obvious, but i wanted to know what the story/message/background for each of the songs from these robbers and cowards is about:
1. we used to vacation
2. hang me up to dry
3. tell me in the morning
4. hair down
5. passing the heat
6. saint john
7. robbers
8. hospital beds
9. pregnant
10. red wine, sucess!
11. god, make up your mind
12. rubidoux
Meanings of each of these Cold War Kids songs...?
hang me out to dry : its basically about the a girl leading him on.
fell asleep with stains- he let himself be vulnerable and because of it got hurt..and its such a pain. he also ignored the problems "stains" in the relationship
careless in our summer clothes -i think when you fall in love your so happy that you forget to be careful and all you focus on is how great you feel.
pearly like the whites- white reflects innocence, his innocence. a girl messing with his mind.
hot water bleeding our colors - their true feelings about each other are coming out.
hang me out to dry, you wrung me out too many times - hes begging her to just let him go already and end the relationship - which has caused him plenty of grief

Many people say Led Zeppelin's song "Stairway to Heaven" is the greatest rock song, do you agree or disagree?
Why do you agree/disagree? If you disagree what do you think is the greatest rock song of all times? Here are the lyrics for Stairway to Heaven for those who do not know it:
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter
And it makes me wonder
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen
Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for
And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.

If I had to pick just one, I'd pick Knights in White Satin by The Moody Blues
Reply:It's probably in the top 20 or so.
How about these?
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
Living on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
Welcome to the Jungle - Guns n' Roses
Sweet Child o' Mine - Guns n' Roses
We Are the Champions - Queen
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
My mind has drawn a blank for others.... but there are quite a few more.
Reply:When you print the lyrics, it looks like the lamest song ever. Actually, if you asked a large sampling of people who have been alive long enough to have a sense of rock'n'roll history, I believe the answer would be (actually, it's obvious what the answer would be- drum roll please...) "Satisfaction", by the Rolling Stones.
Reply:it's a great song but after you hear it a millon and one times you get tired of it.ican't pick a favorite song,somedays i'm into rock others punk then the blues
Reply:Do I agree???......
My answer is NO!!!! =)
Reply:Hi Led Zep Babe.
Led Zeppelin is definitely one of the greatest rock bands. Stairway to Heaven is one of my favorite songs. I actually had a ticket to see them in the 70's in Philadelphia, but the concert was cancelled and never rescheduled. ( I think it's when John Bonum died ) Jimmy Page is definitely one of the best guitar players of all time.
Reply:I disagree, because it always depends on what type of rock you put this song in. Today there are many sub-genre's of rock, so nothing today is just called a rock song anymore.
Reply:what?
its good but there are so many to choose from..........hundreds of artists.....allman bros..lynyrd skynrd...the doobie brothers....eric clapton...neil young....janis joplin.......hundreds more
Reply:It's up there (no pun intended). There are others that need to be considered as well. For example...
Money - Pink Floyd
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Breathe - Pink Floyd
Jump - Van Halen
Tom Sawyer - Rush
Back in Black - AC/DC
Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden
Dirt - Alice in Chains
Iron Man - Ozzy Ozbourne

Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
Living on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
Welcome to the Jungle - Guns n' Roses
Sweet Child o' Mine - Guns n' Roses
We Are the Champions - Queen
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
My mind has drawn a blank for others.... but there are quite a few more.
Reply:When you print the lyrics, it looks like the lamest song ever. Actually, if you asked a large sampling of people who have been alive long enough to have a sense of rock'n'roll history, I believe the answer would be (actually, it's obvious what the answer would be- drum roll please...) "Satisfaction", by the Rolling Stones.
Reply:it's a great song but after you hear it a millon and one times you get tired of it.ican't pick a favorite song,somedays i'm into rock others punk then the blues
Reply:Do I agree???......
My answer is NO!!!! =)
Reply:Hi Led Zep Babe.
Led Zeppelin is definitely one of the greatest rock bands. Stairway to Heaven is one of my favorite songs. I actually had a ticket to see them in the 70's in Philadelphia, but the concert was cancelled and never rescheduled. ( I think it's when John Bonum died ) Jimmy Page is definitely one of the best guitar players of all time.
Reply:I disagree, because it always depends on what type of rock you put this song in. Today there are many sub-genre's of rock, so nothing today is just called a rock song anymore.
Reply:what?
its good but there are so many to choose from..........hundreds of artists.....allman bros..lynyrd skynrd...the doobie brothers....eric clapton...neil young....janis joplin.......hundreds more
Reply:It's up there (no pun intended). There are others that need to be considered as well. For example...
Money - Pink Floyd
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Breathe - Pink Floyd
Jump - Van Halen
Tom Sawyer - Rush
Back in Black - AC/DC
Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden
Dirt - Alice in Chains
Iron Man - Ozzy Ozbourne
"No Stairway to Heaven??? Denied!"

The song " save a horse ride a cowboy "?

The song " save a horse ride a cowboy "?
"Broke Back Mtn" aint in the south no cowboy is going to make love in the bed of a truck with a man!!!!! It just sould'nt be int the same sentence!!!
Reply:If it's not gay, why don't they say :
"Save a horse, ride a cowgirl" ?
(Truth is, of course, as any old cow-hand will tell ya, out on the range there weren't any cow-girls, so all we poor ole cow-hands had to ride back in the bunk-house was cowboys.)
Reply:No, the Big %26amp; Rich song is more heterosexual. They are speaking about men and women, not men and men.
Reply:Can't stand it. Turn station whenever it comes on.
Reply:Nope , the band Big and Rich recorded it, And it is referring to themselves as the cowboys, tellin the girls hey save a horse ride us...
Reply:Well, I walk into the room
Passing out hundred dollar bills
And it kills and it thrills like the horns on my Silverado grill
And I buy the bar a double round of crown
And everybody's getting down
An' this town ain't never gonna be the same.
(Chorus:)
Cause I saddle up my horse
and I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise
Cause the girls
They are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway
on my old stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
Everybody says
Save a horse, Ride a cowboy
Well I don't give a dang about nothing
I'm singing and Bling- Blanging
While the girls are drinking
Long necks down!
And I wouldn't trade ol' Leroy
or my Chevrolet for your Escalade
Or your freak parade
I'm the only John Wayne left in this town
And I saddle up my horse
and I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise
Cause the girls
They are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway
on my old stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
Everybody says
Save a horse, Ride a cowboy
(Spoken:)
I'm a thourough-bred
that's what she said
in the back of my truck bed
As I was gettin' buzzed on suds
Out on some back country road.
We where flying high
Fining, whine, having ourselves a big and rich time
And I was going, just about as far as she'd let me go.
But her evaluation
of my cowboy reputation
Had me begging for slavation
all night long
So I took her out giggin frogs
Introduced her to my old bird dog
And sang her every Wilie Nelson song I could think of
And we made love
And I saddled up my horse
and I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise
Cause the girls
They are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway
on my old stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
Everybody says
Save a horse, Ride a cowboy
What? What?

If you notice is mentions girls (females) and LeRoy is the name of the horse. I don't think it has anything to do with anything gay.
Reply:Most country artist, especially men don't openly sing about gay love. I think the song is strictly about heterosexual sex
Reply:I think people read to much into everything.
Reply:I LOVE IT!!! i give my husband a lapdance everytime!!!!! its a great REDNECK song and has a great beat!!!
I think it means that girls should 'ride' their guys.
no gay meaning, just some 'cowboy riding'!!!!!!!!!
Reply:It doesn't have gay meaning......it could if you read into that much though.....
Reply:i hate that song .
Reply:they're talking about all the pretty girls and the cowboy there's nothing in the lyrics that references gays
Reply:OK....you're a little dense if you think it's gay.
It's a fun song...that happens to be telling WOMEN to "save a horse, ride a cowBOY"!
Sheesh!
Reply:The entire song is about a guy trying then succeeding to get into a girls pants. Then asking other girls if they want a go. I don't think it's about anything gay. Though perhaps he is overcompensating, you never know.
Reply:100% not brokeback
Reply:I believe it is not saying something gay. Big and Rich are both straight and if you have seen the video or listened to the lyrics you will know it is about men with women.
Reply:I've heard the song, and any song can have "gay meanings" if that's what you read into it. I just took it as overtly sexual.

HEY, I NEED HELP! Does someone know a good song foe a FEMALE (me) to sing while my friend plays her [acoustic]
I'm a female. there's a talent show coming up soon at my school and I want to sing a good song, that my friend can play chords, [or tabs] to on her guitar while I sing.
music I'd be willing to sing:
I like dark, music with really deep meanings, but when sung, don't sound like dark songs.
I like indie as well, like Death Can for Cutie is a good band, I also like Darling Violetta...
I'm open to songs that aren't dark, I also like Nellie McKay, and like the Ditty Bops....
although I'm IN LOVE with screamo, and metal...I'm NOT going to be screaming my head off, simply becasue it's a physical impossibility for myself.
music I will in no way ever EVER EVER sing in public (or by myself for that matter):
Anything by that ridiculuos "actress and singer" Hannah Montana,
Hilary Duff,
no country, pop, or rap either...I want REAL, GOOD
music.
got it?....Good.

Does anybody know where I can find the lyrics and meanings for American Pie and Blinded By the Light?
These are two amazing songs about which I know very little but would like to know it all. I would also like to get the lyrics for Louie Louie and the lyrics and meaning for "The Weight" and "Creeque Alley". I greatly appreciate any help.
Does anybody know where I can find the lyrics and meanings for American Pie and Blinded By the Light?
Don McLean - American Pie
A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, they’d be happy for a while.
But february made me shiver
With every paper I’d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn’t take one more step.
I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.
So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
Did you write the book of love,
And do you have faith in God above,
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock ’n roll,
Can music save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you’re in love with him
`cause I saw you dancin’ in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.
I was a lonely teenage broncin’ buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck,
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died.
I started singin’,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
Now for ten years we’ve been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin’ stone,
But that’s not how it used to be.
When the jester sang for the king and queen,
In a coat he borrowed from james dean
And a voice that came from you and me,
Oh, and while the king was looking down,
The jester stole his thorny crown.
The courtroom was adjourned;
No verdict was returned.
And while lennon read a book of marx,
The quartet practiced in the park,
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died.
We were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast.
It landed foul on the grass.
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again.
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Jack flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil’s only friend.
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No angel born in hell
Could break that satan’s spell.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite,
I saw satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled and turned away.
I went down to the sacred store
Where I’d heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn’t play.
And in the streets: the children screamed,
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.
But not a word was spoken;
The church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.
And they were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
They were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die."
Bruce Springsteen - BLINDED BY THE LIGHT
Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing, the calliope crashed to the ground
Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot, snappin' his fingers, clappin' his hands
And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers, "Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot, turn up the band"
And she was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright
Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the East
He says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner all alone, watchin' the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of romance
Yeah, he was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
He got down but he never got tight, but he's gonna make it tonight
Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes
She said, "I'll turn you on, sonny, to something strong if you play that song with the funky break"
And Go-Cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer, playin' backyard bombardier
Yes, and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent some dude with a calling card, he said, "Do what you like, but don't do it here"
Well, I jumped up, turned around, spit in the air, fell on the ground and asked him which was the way back home
He said, "Take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night, and then, boy, you're on your own"
And now in Zanzibar, a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car, hummin' a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said, "Blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar, we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon"
And some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night
Well, I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw a gap but figured he'd be all right
He was just blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
Oh, but Mama, that's where the fun is
I was blinded
I was blinded
I was blinded
Richard Berry - Louie, Louie
Oh, Louie Louie, oh no
Get her way down low
Oh, Louie Louie, oh baby
Get her down low
A fine little girl a-waiting for me
She's just a girl across the way
We'll take her and park all alone
She's never a girl I lay at home
At night at ten I lay her again
**** you girl, oh all the way
Oh my bed and I lay her there
I meet a rose in her hair
Okay, let's give it to them right now!
She's got a rag on I'll move above
It won't be long she'll slip it off
I'll take her in my arms again
I'll tell her I'll never leave again
Get that broad out of here!
Band - The Weight
I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead;
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said.
(Chorus:)
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide;
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around."
(Chorus)
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day.
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"
(Chorus)
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog."
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."
(Chorus)
Catch a cannon ball now, t'take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time.
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one.
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
The Mamas %26amp; the Papas - Creeque Alley
John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy
Just to leave the folk music behind;
Zal and Denny workin' for a penny
Tryin' to get a fish on the line.
In a coffee house Sebastian sat,
And after every number they'd pass the hat.
McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher in L.A.,
You know where that's at.
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.
Zally said, "Denny, you know there aren't many
Who can sing a song the way that you do; let's go south."
Denny said, "Zally, golly, don't you think that I wish
I could play guitar like you."
Zal, Denny, and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)
And after every number they'd pass the hat.
McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher in L.A.,
You know where that's at.
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.
When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swathmore
But she changed her mind one day.
Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike,
"Take me to New York right away."
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps;
Called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps.
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
But that's what they were aimin' at.
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.
Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps---
Don't you work as hard as you play.
Make up, break up, everything is shake up;
Guess it had to be that way.
Sebastian and Zal formed the æ…¡poonful;
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful.
McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire in L.A.,
You know where that's at.
And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.
Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted,
And Mitchy wants to go to the sea.
Cass can't make it; she says we'll have to fake it---
We knew she'd come eventually.
Greasin' on American Express cards;
Tents low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard.
Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations
Can't go on indefinitely.
And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality...
Reply:Manfred Mann Band did Blinded by the Light, geez, I don't have the old LP anymore, I remember the lyrics were on that. And I am not sure which version of Louie Louie you mean. Some here suggest googling the song title with lyrics.
Reply:The only one that I know is American Pie : The entire song is a tribute to Buddy Holly and a commentary on how rock and roll changed in the years since his death
Reply:Go to your local music/instrument store where they sell sheet music with lyrics. If they don't have it they should be able to order it.

Well, I know that you’re in love with him
`cause I saw you dancin’ in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.
I was a lonely teenage broncin’ buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck,
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died.
I started singin’,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
Now for ten years we’ve been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin’ stone,
But that’s not how it used to be.
When the jester sang for the king and queen,
In a coat he borrowed from james dean
And a voice that came from you and me,
Oh, and while the king was looking down,
The jester stole his thorny crown.
The courtroom was adjourned;
No verdict was returned.
And while lennon read a book of marx,
The quartet practiced in the park,
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died.
We were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast.
It landed foul on the grass.
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again.
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Jack flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil’s only friend.
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No angel born in hell
Could break that satan’s spell.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite,
I saw satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled and turned away.
I went down to the sacred store
Where I’d heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn’t play.
And in the streets: the children screamed,
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.
But not a word was spoken;
The church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.
And they were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
They were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die."
Bruce Springsteen - BLINDED BY THE LIGHT
Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing, the calliope crashed to the ground
Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot, snappin' his fingers, clappin' his hands
And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers, "Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot, turn up the band"
And she was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright
Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the East
He says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner all alone, watchin' the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of romance
Yeah, he was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
He got down but he never got tight, but he's gonna make it tonight
Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes
She said, "I'll turn you on, sonny, to something strong if you play that song with the funky break"
And Go-Cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer, playin' backyard bombardier
Yes, and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent some dude with a calling card, he said, "Do what you like, but don't do it here"
Well, I jumped up, turned around, spit in the air, fell on the ground and asked him which was the way back home
He said, "Take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night, and then, boy, you're on your own"
And now in Zanzibar, a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car, hummin' a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said, "Blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar, we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon"
And some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night
Well, I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw a gap but figured he'd be all right
He was just blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
Oh, but Mama, that's where the fun is
I was blinded
I was blinded
I was blinded
Richard Berry - Louie, Louie
Oh, Louie Louie, oh no
Get her way down low
Oh, Louie Louie, oh baby
Get her down low
A fine little girl a-waiting for me
She's just a girl across the way
We'll take her and park all alone
She's never a girl I lay at home
At night at ten I lay her again
**** you girl, oh all the way
Oh my bed and I lay her there
I meet a rose in her hair
Okay, let's give it to them right now!
She's got a rag on I'll move above
It won't be long she'll slip it off
I'll take her in my arms again
I'll tell her I'll never leave again
Get that broad out of here!
Band - The Weight
I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead;
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said.
(Chorus:)
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide;
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around."
(Chorus)
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day.
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"
(Chorus)
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog."
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."
(Chorus)
Catch a cannon ball now, t'take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time.
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one.
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
The Mamas %26amp; the Papas - Creeque Alley
John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy
Just to leave the folk music behind;
Zal and Denny workin' for a penny
Tryin' to get a fish on the line.
In a coffee house Sebastian sat,
And after every number they'd pass the hat.
McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher in L.A.,
You know where that's at.
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.
Zally said, "Denny, you know there aren't many
Who can sing a song the way that you do; let's go south."
Denny said, "Zally, golly, don't you think that I wish
I could play guitar like you."
Zal, Denny, and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)
And after every number they'd pass the hat.
McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher in L.A.,
You know where that's at.
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.
When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swathmore
But she changed her mind one day.
Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike,
"Take me to New York right away."
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps;
Called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps.
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
But that's what they were aimin' at.
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.
Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps---
Don't you work as hard as you play.
Make up, break up, everything is shake up;
Guess it had to be that way.
Sebastian and Zal formed the æ…¡poonful;
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful.
McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire in L.A.,
You know where that's at.
And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.
Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted,
And Mitchy wants to go to the sea.
Cass can't make it; she says we'll have to fake it---
We knew she'd come eventually.
Greasin' on American Express cards;
Tents low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard.
Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations
Can't go on indefinitely.
And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality...
Reply:Manfred Mann Band did Blinded by the Light, geez, I don't have the old LP anymore, I remember the lyrics were on that. And I am not sure which version of Louie Louie you mean. Some here suggest googling the song title with lyrics.
Reply:The only one that I know is American Pie : The entire song is a tribute to Buddy Holly and a commentary on how rock and roll changed in the years since his death
Reply:Go to your local music/instrument store where they sell sheet music with lyrics. If they don't have it they should be able to order it.
A GOOD SONG FOR A GIRL (me) TO SING FOR A TALENT SHOW..with my friend playing her acoustic in the background??
I'm a female. there's a talent show coming up soon at my school and I want to sing a good song, that my friend can play chords, [or tabs] to on her guitar while I sing.
music I'd be willing to sing:
I like dark, music with really deep meanings, but when sung, don't sound like dark songs.
I like indie as well, like Death Can for Cutie is a good band, I also like Darling Violetta...
I'm open to songs that aren't dark, I also like Nellie McKay, and like the Ditty Bops....
although I'm IN LOVE with screamo, and metal...I'm NOT going to be screaming my head off, simply becasue it's a physical impossibility for myself.
music I will in no way ever EVER EVER sing in public (or by myself for that matter):
Anything by that ridiculuos "actress and singer" Hannah Montana,
Hilary Duff,
no country, pop, or rap either...I want REAL, GOOD
music.
got it?....Good.
A GOOD SONG FOR A GIRL (me) TO SING FOR A TALENT SHOW..with my friend playing her acoustic in the background??

Nother question about the manic episode?
did anybody feel they where trap in the music world and thought they figured all the songs and meanings of the songs out and every line in a song related to you. if that happened like it did to me please explain.
Nother question about the manic episode?
it puzzles people at first
to see how little the manic depressive actually does
and yet gets things done
the manic depressive know that is how things work
after all
the manic depressive is capable of doing nothing at all
yet everything gets done
when you the manic depressive gets too busy
the time has come to return to selfless silence
selflessness gives you center
center creates order
when there is order, there is little to do
(another question about the manic episode? oftentimes the manic episode will move into a psychotic break)
DOING LITTLE
when you get too busy, the time has come to return to selfless silence
Reply:I believe they call that a psychotic break. I've had way too many myself. Also 2 of my 3 adult children are bipolar, and I use to work in a mental health facility, (state hospital). I have experienced similar thinking to what you are describing -inside and out, and inside-out. The way you describe your feelings is similar to all of us when we go into the psychotic realm of mania. However, if we are aware and we (in a more balanced state of mind), become sensitive to the chemical phenomenon of mania, or depression we CAN PREPARE FOR THE NEXT TIME. That is how you begin to HELP YOURSELF. If medication controls your highs and/or lows, it is in your own best interest to NEVER RUN OUT, NEVER take ANYTHING that interferes with the action of any of your Rxs -including food and drink. Did you know, every time you interrupt your pharmaceutical regimen your treatment (Tx) time will increase 1 to 5 years FOR EVERY TIME YOU MESS UP YOUR MEDICINE. I have been getting medication OFF AND ON since I was 16, that's like 32 years ago! I was in my mid 30s before I finally realized if I followed the rules of the medicine I could be in a much more comfortable place in my mind.
Plan ahead, in my early 30s I got tired of getting shut off notices for not paying my bills so I hired the local public administrator to manage my money-I can't even sign my own checks- and I pay about $30 a month. He's been my conservator for around 15 years now. It's been that long since I've gotten any kind of shut off notice. It's amazing how much money you can spend when during a manic attack. My racing thoughts, and holy **** ideas appear to have found a quiet place to live after my second or third attempt with a risperdol regimen of 2mg twice a day for 2 years. It takes a while to get that high of a dose so I was probably on it 2 and a half years or so. After my thinking cleared up and the chatter in my head cleared up for the 2 years I slowly weaned my way off. That was about 4 years ago and now the chatter only starts up when I am under nearly unbearable stress or I have neglected taking care of my self. We may each have similar illness or disorder or malfunction, but every single one of us experiences it differently from EVERY one else, what is one persons answer is another persons madness. Be curious, be determined to do what it takes to balance because in bipolar THAT is our task, or challenge, to balance our stress levels, our physical health, our mental health, our intellectual health, social health and our spiritual health. Balance is the answer and focus and tenacity are the keys.

Song Lyric Question - Christmas Song?
I remember hearing this song several years ago but never knew its title or origin. I think the very beginning is:
Johnny get your little drum, Peter bring your flute and come/
Celebrate this day, this joyous holiday.
It doesn't sound like a modern song/melody, rather it feels more traditional/folk-ish. Don't think Ave Maria or actual folk music, those are the incorrect meanings of my adjective choices.
Thanks ahead of time!
Song Lyric Question - Christmas Song?
"Pat-A-Pan" is based on a 17th century French carol composed by Bernard de la Monnoye.
Willie, get your little drum
Robin, bring your flute and come
Aren’t they fun to play upon?
Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan
When you play your fife and drum
How can anyone be glum?
When the men of olden days
Gave the King of Kings their praise
They had pipes to play upon
Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan
And also the drums they’d play
Full of joy, on Christmas Day.
God and man today become
Closely joined as flute and drum
Let the joyous tune play on
Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan
As the instruments you play
We will sing, this Christmas Day.

Does "White Rabbit" has a special meaning in Song by "Jefferson Airplane" ?
Obviously the song is about Psychedelic Drugs and it many points it has used terms from Alice in Wonderland but does it has other meanings?
Does "White Rabbit" has a special meaning in Song by "Jefferson Airplane" ?
I always thought the "White Rabbit" was the answers everyone is looking for. Searching for understanding of the unknown and unexplained. It's the wanderer looking for his place in the world and answers to questions yet to be asked. Chasing that which cannot be caught or found. Elusiveness of the misunderstood. Wish I could put this into better words.

Meaning of the song Alegria?
Now I know that the song Alegria in written in 3 languages, Italian (1st stanza), English (2nd stanza), Spanish (3rd stanza)... I want to know if the meanings in Italian and Spanish are exactly the same as the English... If not, what does the Italian part and the Spanish part mean?
Meaning of the song Alegria?
hi;I'm the one who gave you the lyric. since I speak the 3 languages, I can tell you that the meaning is the same, there are just a couple of words that means something a little bit different, but I thnk it has been done just to keep the rhythm.
bye
Reply:It´s not exactly the same. I mean, not literally the same. But as an spanish speaker, and as far as I understand english and italian, I think the poetic meaning is the same.
Spanish and italian stanzas use comparatives clauses (beginning in "come" for italian, and in "como" for spanish). Correspondence between these stanzas is almost literal, with some minor differences (italian "pazzo gridar" = a crazy or foolish screaming; confronted to spanish "un payaso que grita" = a clown who screams).
Correspondence with english is not literal, but you can find the same ideas. I think the major difference is that english stanza use the first person (I, me): It is joy as "I" feel it. In Italian and spanish versions, this feeling of joy is not limited to one person.

Hey i would like to know what you think the meanings some of the death not opening and closing songs are about
The fallacy of ultimate power over ultimate power.
(kind of corny imo...)
(kind of corny imo...)
Out of all the songs you've heard, which song's lyrics are the most meaningful to you? And Why?
A lot of the Linkin Park songs have a lot of deep meanings. Such as Hands Held High, and somwhere I belong.
Three Days Grace's songs are the type of songs that only a person that had gone throught that type of pain could write them. And many people that listen to "emo" bands or w/e those people label their music as. Those people don;t listen to the lyrics therefore don'd understand the message. And when they don't understand the message there's no conversation for those songs except on weather they like them or not.
I just wanna see who out there is really listening to the lyrics and how they speak out intsead of just hearing the music. Those people hear,...but they don't listen. I want to see who is listening.
Out of all the songs you've heard, which song's lyrics are the most meaningful to you? And Why?
Your guardian angel
it actually has meaning and the 2:30 minute silence at the end is actually him crying. it tells a story. about him. (the lead singer)
listen to it.
Reply:Most of the lyrics that have the most meaning to me
are the ones that take imagination to relate to.
The song Gingerbread Coffin by Rasputina
has always made me feel better when I'm down.
The song is a story about a woman
who died and I assume
others are trying to bring her back from the dead
by doing some sort of ritual.
The song means much to me because the lead singer
says over and over again "She'll rise."
which I relate to: when I'm feeling my worst
I'll rise from my death (depression) and I'll live again.
Not to mention that my name means "Will rise again."
There are many other songs that have meaning to me for strange reasons.
Like Dresden Dolls' Dirty Business.
I heard it right after I apologized to my church's youth group leader
(I picked a fight with him ... verbal fight),
I apologized to him by saying that it wasn't fair for him,
because I was going through a lot of things lately
and he had no idea what they were.
To which he said something along the lines of:
"Oh, no. We know."
...
The lyrics fuel my anger towards him
because it described "the poster girl"
a shady character who I feel closer associated with than what
my youth group apparently thinks I am.
it mentions "To all the ones who thought
they knew me best [...]"
Which makes me feel like they thought they knew me best
but on the contrary, I'm the poster girl.
I recommend Rasputina if you have an over active imagination
and like hearing songs that are stories, like "Hunter's Kiss"
I recommend Emilie Autumn especially!
All of her songs are extremely poetic and meaningful.
The lyrics to "306" are deep and wonderful and
"God Help me" is a song that I has deep meaning for me.
They're both wonderful artists.
Reply:emotion by destinys child is pretty good!
Reply:i really like the song falling in the black by skillet. it shows a lot emotion in it.
but the band called red i think shows the most meaningful songs to me. theres jsut something unique on the way it sounds and the lyrics. it just screams meaningful to me lol xD
i see dead lollis =D
Reply:I have many favourite songs, and you're right, I mostly listen to the songs without understanding the meaning just because they sound awesome. These songs are japanese/korean songs, being an anime fan and all.
I also listen to many English songs but most of them I just listen to without understanding most of the song because the words are hard to form in my mind (ex. they speak too fast). So, the only songs I've listen to while knowing the lyrics are some old or semi-old or semi-new songs, which are easier to understand.
Such as, "Leavin' in a jet plane", "I don't want to miss a thing", "How to save a life", "I started a joke", "Puff the magic dragon", "Time of your life", "I knew I loved you", "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", "When Children Cry", and many more.
Most meaningful? I guess the song "When Children Cry" is the most meaningful in the list I've given above. It's basically about how the future of the children is what we make for them.

The symbles in The Streetcar named desire?
Symbols
Symbols are objects, characters, figures, or colors used to represent abstract ideas or concepts.
Shadows and Cries -
As Blanche and Stanley begin to quarrel in Scene Ten, various oddly shaped shadows begin to appear on the wall behind her. Discordant noises and jungle cries also occur as Blanche begins to descend into madness. All of these effects combine to dramatize Blanche’s final breakdown and departure from reality in the face of Stanley’s physical threat. When she loses her sanity in her final struggle against Stanley, Blanche retreats entirely into her own world. Whereas she originally colors her perception of reality according to her wishes, at this point in the play she ignores reality altogether.
The Varsouviana Polka -
The Varsouviana is the polka tune to which Blanche and her young husband, Allen Grey, were dancing when she last saw him alive. Earlier that day, she had walked in on him in bed with an older male friend. The three of them then went out dancing together, pretending that nothing had happened. In the middle of the Varsouviana, Blanche turned to Allen and told him that he “disgusted” her. He ran away and shot himself in the head.
The polka music plays at various points in A Streetcar Named Desire, when Blanche is feeling remorse for Allen’s death. The first time we hear it is in Scene One, when Stanley meets Blanche and asks her about her husband. Its second appearance occurs when Blanche tells Mitch the story of Allen Grey. From this point on, the polka plays increasingly often, and it always drives Blanche to distraction. She tells Mitch that it ends only after she hears the sound of a gunshot in her head.
The polka and the moment it evokes represent Blanche’s loss of innocence. The suicide of the young husband Blanche loved dearly was the event that triggered her mental decline. Since then, Blanche hears the Varsouviana whenever she panics and loses her grip on reality.
“It’s Only a Paper Moon” -
In Scene Seven, Blanche sings this popular ballad while she bathes. The song’s lyrics describe the way love turns the world into a “phony” fantasy. The speaker in the song says that if both lovers believe in their imagined reality, then it’s no longer “make-believe.” These lyrics sum up Blanche’s approach to life. She believes that her fibbing is only her means of enjoying a better way of life and is therefore essentially harmless.
As Blanche sits in the tub singing “It’s Only a Paper Moon,” Stanley tells Stella the details of Blanche’s sexually corrupt past. Williams ironically juxtaposes Blanche’s fantastical understanding of herself with Stanley’s description of Blanche’s real nature. In reality, Blanche is a sham who feigns propriety and sexual modesty. Once Mitch learns the truth about Blanche, he can no longer believe in Blanche’s tricks and lies.
Meat -
In Scene One, Stanley throws a package of meat at his adoring Stella for her to catch. The action sends Eunice and the ***** woman into peals of laughter. Presumably, they’ve picked up on the sexual innuendo behind Stanley’s gesture. In hurling the meat at Stella, Stanley states the sexual proprietorship he holds over her. Stella’s delight in catching Stanley’s meat signifies her sexual infatuation with him.

Have you ever changed your thoughts about a song completely (see details) after...?
after you came to know the true meanings of the lyrics?
I mean people who've been here before the internet, and then you go to a songmeanings site, and suddenly come to know that that song is nothing what you thought to be! What's your reaction? has this happened to you before?
Other folks can answer too, no problem. That was just an example.
Have you ever changed your thoughts about a song completely (see details) after...?
Yeah.
Lyrics have a place on my part. I mean, lyrics tell a lot about the band...and if you have something for the band you idolize, you care about how they are when it comes to beliefs, ideas they hold, the kind of people they are. Well, me, anyway.
Lyrics are pretty much the thoughts and feelings of the one who wrote it, just turned into song, rather than poetry.
So I could totally dig the beat, the way the singer sings and everything, but if the lyrics strike an emotional chord the wrong way for me, I'm through with the song...I mean, why bother listening to someone singing words that hurt? That's self sabotage right there.
My example would be Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" song. Meh...I won't even bother to go into detail of why. I'm sure you can figure it out.

Reply:See, that's why you don't look up the true meanings.
Songs are supposed to have a different meaning to each person, and to know what the band intended to mean just ruins the whole illusion.
I love music and I love the different meanings people can get from the same song.
I guess you could call me a music guru of some sort! =]]
Reply:No, not really. I would be listening to the song for the first ever time, and i pick up the inner-meaning quickly. People only see the top layer, never look down into it. But i dont go on sites to look up the words, i pick the words up after one listen.
Reply:no, it never happened to me, i always try to get from the lyrics something that has a meaning to me so i don't really care if the writer did it thinking of another thing i will stay with my thought about the lyrics which are always good. besides that's whats great about art in general, each person can decide what to understand about any piece of art
Reply:This doesn't really happen to me largely because I focus on the guitar parts more than the lyrics.

What does the title Catcher In the Rye mean?
My teacher told me he is looking for 3 meanings
1 is that his brother that died was a baseball catcher (thats the catcher part)
2 "In the Rye" is a song that a little kid was singing i think when he was at the park or something so what's the 3rd one?
What does the title Catcher In the Rye mean?
In basic terms - Holden Caulfield was trying to save children from losing the innocence by catching them in the rye field before they fell over and lost it.
Reply:Catcher in the Rye was someone who would catch people before they fell off of the nearby cliff.
Reply:His brother Allie wasn't a catcher; he had a baseball glove with poetry written all over it in green ink. The song "When a Body Meet a Body Comin' Through the Rye" has to do with sexual encounters. Holden does not fare well when it appears innocence is in danger. The final meaning of "the catcher in the rye" originates from a dream Holden had in which he is standing on a cliff catching children who are playing in a field of rye. His job is to catch them and to throw them back into the field so that they can be safe and can continue to play. He is attempting to keep them safe, metaphorically maintaining their innocence.
Reply:That he was catching the kids in the rye field so they didn't go over the cliff - or something.
Reply:When Holden is asked by his sister, Phoebe, about what he wants to be when he grows up, he says he wants to be a "catcher in the rye" who waits at the bottom of a cliff for children who fall off of it while playing, and keeps them from getting hurt. The cliff represents childhood, and children falling off of it symbolizes them growing up and maturing, losing their innocence. Holden, at the bottom, sees himself as already having lost this innocence and being part of the adult world he despises. Even so, he wishes to save younger children from a similar fate (i.e. being so angry that Allie died because death is an adult experience, being outraged at "****" being on the wall of Phoebe's school because it was too mature of a word for kids).
Reply:He was bothered by the song "Comin' Through the Rye" because he imagined children playing in a rye field at the edge of a cliff that they couldn't see because the rye was so tall, and he decided that he wanted to be the "catcher in the rye," to stand at the edge and catch any child in danger of falling over.

Tell me the meanings of "Sunrise, Sunset."?
"Sunrise, Sunset" sung in "Fiddler on the Roof" is my favorite song. What does the part of its lyrics "Is there a canopy in store for me?" mean? I know what a canopy is. I want to know what this does part exactoly imply? (I am a Japanese.)
Tell me the meanings of "Sunrise, Sunset."?
= I think he is wondering about something good in the future coming. I will ask around and check with others for you. Yes I was right he is speaking of marriage. The canopy is part of the Jewish wedding ceremony. The couple stands under one and gets married. It is part of their tradition. Happy Holidays
Reply:The person was asking, "Will I one day be married?"
Reply:The context of the song is "laden with happiness and tears".
"Is there a canopy in store for me?" suggests at once hopefulness for a happy marriage and the possibilty of an unhappy match made without love or emotional attachment.
Reply:Jews marry under canopies.

Does it make sense to find meanings or enlightenment from pop music?
I always try to find some meaning, enlightenment, inspiration or comfort from the very few songs I like, such as Stop Crying Your Heart Out, Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Good Charlotte's March on. Does it make sense? Do the singers who write these songs really think or do(the disposition) in the same way they say in their works? Do they really, in their daily lives, have the same emotions that they try to express in their songs?
Does it make sense to find meanings or enlightenment from pop music?
Noel Gallagher has said a lot of his songs are gibberish. And they are!! 'The sinks is full of fishes/She's got dirty dishes on her brain.' Case closed. Lol sorry.
I think song lyrics are meant to evoke a feeling in you rather than directly say something. Wonderwall is like Noel trying to say things he can't actually put into words. Maybe as a laddish kind of guy, he doesn't like to say things in direct words. But with this song, he can convey how he feels without saying it in as many words. I prefer songs that promote emotions and feelings in you, rather than hit you over the head with a story or an idea. Songs like that rarely occupy a place in people's hearts.
Some songs can have a theme, story or agenda to them. Isn't American Pie about the day Elvis died or something? Golden Brown by the Stranglers is about heroin. Ziggy Stardust is about Jimi Hendrix to some degree.
So there are some exceptions, but 99.9% of songs are meaningless. Across The Universe by The Beatles has a fantastic lyric, but does anyone actually think it means something. It doesn't matter, it means something to whoever's listening to it at the time.
A lot of bands write open-ended lyrics so as to let the listener interpret them their own ways. The 80s alt rock band Spacemen 3 wrote lyrics so blunt and steeped in songwriting shorthand deliberately, both to allow the listener to associate the song with whatever it meant to them when they listened to it, and to not distract from the music itself. Listen to it-it works wonders.
The band Sigur Ros made up syllables for their earlier albums, rather than using actual words in their songs. In the CD Booklet the left empty pages at the back for the listener to write down their own lyrics for the songs, or whatever they thought the singer was saying.
You can look for meaning in pop lyrics, but don't expect to find an answer everytime.

Does it make sense to find meanings or enlightenment from pop music?
Noel Gallagher has said a lot of his songs are gibberish. And they are!! 'The sinks is full of fishes/She's got dirty dishes on her brain.' Case closed. Lol sorry.
I think song lyrics are meant to evoke a feeling in you rather than directly say something. Wonderwall is like Noel trying to say things he can't actually put into words. Maybe as a laddish kind of guy, he doesn't like to say things in direct words. But with this song, he can convey how he feels without saying it in as many words. I prefer songs that promote emotions and feelings in you, rather than hit you over the head with a story or an idea. Songs like that rarely occupy a place in people's hearts.
Some songs can have a theme, story or agenda to them. Isn't American Pie about the day Elvis died or something? Golden Brown by the Stranglers is about heroin. Ziggy Stardust is about Jimi Hendrix to some degree.
So there are some exceptions, but 99.9% of songs are meaningless. Across The Universe by The Beatles has a fantastic lyric, but does anyone actually think it means something. It doesn't matter, it means something to whoever's listening to it at the time.
A lot of bands write open-ended lyrics so as to let the listener interpret them their own ways. The 80s alt rock band Spacemen 3 wrote lyrics so blunt and steeped in songwriting shorthand deliberately, both to allow the listener to associate the song with whatever it meant to them when they listened to it, and to not distract from the music itself. Listen to it-it works wonders.
The band Sigur Ros made up syllables for their earlier albums, rather than using actual words in their songs. In the CD Booklet the left empty pages at the back for the listener to write down their own lyrics for the songs, or whatever they thought the singer was saying.
You can look for meaning in pop lyrics, but don't expect to find an answer everytime. If the song speaks directly to you, affects you in some way, triggers a memory or means something to you that's all that matters. As REM's Michael Stipe, a great lyricist, once said "They're song lyrics, not poetry".

What is the meaning behind, " Hotel California"?
I've heard the song a million times, and I know most of the lyrics, but what does the song mean? What are the symbolic meanings in the song? To me, it sounds like a strange dream.
What is the meaning behind, " Hotel California"?
Check out snopes. com and wikipedia. The song is not Satanic or about Satan worshippers or any such thing. "Hotel California" is metaphorical for the hedonistic lifestyle that people tend to get swept up in in California, especially musicians and celebrities, of drugs, women and unbelievable riches which quickly cause most people to fall into a downward spiral and feel like they can't get out. Hence the line "You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave." The entire "Hotel California" album is a warning about the "loss of innocence" that can occur with excess and fame.
Reply:The Hotel California is Hell, I think. What do you think? The song says you can never leave, right. What else could that mean?
Reply:I think the song is about the seduction of modern society, especially a place like California. The weather is beautiful, the people are attractive, there's lots of great food and wine. When you get there, you are so seduced by the surroundings and people that you begin to think it's like that everywhere. Except that it's like that only in California and the rest of the world is another place entirely.
It's a pretty good song, actually. Insightful.
Reply:it means hell. duh
Reply:supposely it was about hell.
Reply:It is a strange trip written by two guys who smoked alot of Pot!!!!
Reply:That's what I always thought too, a strange dream. It has been said it has something to do with devil worship.........who knows?
Reply:It is based on the members' experience at The Church Of Satan in San Francisco. The band were members and affiliated back then.
The members stayed at the Church Of Satan (lead by Anton LaVey) in those days and describe some of the things they experienced. The church is still headquartered there to this day/

What is the red hot chilli peppers song about?
What is the song "Under the Bridge" about specifically (its by the RHCP)? Also what is the hidden meanings in Give it Away? This is for my music class......thanks!
What is the red hot chilli peppers song about?
Under The Bridge is an introspective reflection on Anthony Kiedis' drug addiction.
The title comes from the song lyric, Under the bridge downtown/Is where I drew some blood, reportedly referring to an experience in which Kiedis used drugs under a bridge with a member of a Mexican gang, although Kiedis himself refuses to reveal the exact location.
The song almost did not make the album, because the lyrics and nature of the song made Kiedis reluctant to show it to producer Rick Rubin and also to record it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_the_B...
The interpretations of the lyrics for Give It Away have been widely different. The line What I've got you've got to get it put it in you is believed by some to be a reference to taking drugs, while lines such as Come and drink it up from my fertility could be construed as sexual metaphors.
You can read about the other interpretations here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Give_it_Awa...
Reply:Under the Bridge is about Anthony's battle with heroin...
Reply:I don't remember what Under the bridge was about but give it away is about sex.
Reply:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_The_B...
Reply:All of their songs are about the same old tired subject- California. And that song is also about Anthony Keidis feeling down and out in the city of angels- Los Angeles. I think it was about him feeling strung out and contemplating suicide.
Reply:Under the Bridge: Originally a poem Anthony wrote which Rick Rubin stumbled upon when he was looking them over one day. Anthony was kind of hesitant of showing it to the other members but he sang it and instead of laughing and making fun of it Flea and John went to their instruments and started playing. When they go to the "Under the bridge downtown" part they had nothing. So John called his mom up and she brought her Church choir to sing that part.
Give it Away: agreethe song is about love. its a great song, especialy when people are like "oh that song is so dirty" when its not at all! anthony said he was inspired when he was with his girlfriend, and she was wearing her favorite leather jacket and it was cold outside, and she gave it to him, and he couldn't believe it, but she said no please take it ill be happier if you takeit. hence "give it away" you know "unrepressed by material excess" its fantastic! just about love and giving and of embracing all, and just love of everything, sexual love, love of family, love of friends love of a lover

MiMs This is why I'm hot, meanings of lyrics?
Okay so I was wondering if you could provide plain-English meanings to the following lines out of the song "This Is Why I'm Hot" by MiMs...
-"If you need a bird, I can get it chopped"
-"playa you come between, you better focus on the beam"
-"I gave 'em black train"
-"similar to lil weeze coz i got the fire"
thanks!
MiMs This is why I'm hot, meanings of lyrics?
i think it is because he is hot because he is fly and you aint because your not. that is why he is hot lol idk
Reply:he's got the fire like the fireman lil wayne
Reply:I think a bird is something materialistic, like something that thay can buy because he says "i'm closing down stores, just so I can shop, if u need a bird I can get it chopped, tell me what u need, u know i get em by the flock".................... The 2nd verse i'm not to sure but it has something 2 do with drugs................ 3rd verse i think he used to work with another artist before and he used his song cuz he says "i gave em black train and i did u wrong, now everytime they see me they tell me thats they song" ....................... 4th verse he's comparing himself to Lil Wayne and his song "Fireman"
Reply:k, some are not easy cause they are taken out of context.
but heres my try:
-need a custom pimped out fly *** flashy car, with ridiculous spinner rims for exorbitant amounts of cash? I know a place that will do that, and I got pull there cause I'm so bad ***.
-ehhh..out of context. lazer beam from his bad *** ak47 perhaps?
-mmm...sexual act? out of context, not enough clues.
-hes saying he's like little wayne from the hot boys (group from new orleans who's major commercial success of my lietime was juveniles 400 degrees album released in 1997 i think). "fire", aka "fiya" is the way to say decent weed. in thier world there is the **** We All Get (ShWAG) or the fire. the killer purple, the dank, the kind, whatever.
but yeah basically the major theme of this song is look at me look at me im so insecure i have to sing a song about how cool i am cause people will not notice other wise. gonna rap about money and jewelry and fast cars since i have no creativity and it sells and thats all im here for.
god hip hop has gone downhill.

in the chicken song there is a line " behead an eskimo" i have figured out the rest of the lyrics and their meanings. e.g. hulk hogan called himself keith to get into a restaurant so that he could get away from the public. (this didnt work though 'cos someone recognised him).
thanks if you can help. i highly recommend you listen to the song.

Now that Spring is in the air
When those two wet gits with their girly curly hair
Make another song for moronic holidays
That nauseate-ate-ate
In a million different ways
From the shores of Spain
To the coast of Southern France
No matter where you hide
You just can't escape this dance
Hold a chicken in the air
Stick a deckchair up your nose
Buy a jumbo jet
And then bury all your clothes
Paint your left knee green
Then extract your wisdom teeth
Form a string quartet
And pretend your name is Keith
Skin yourself alive
Learn to speak Arapahoe
Climb inside a dog
And behead an eskimo
Eat a Renault Four with salami in your ears
Casserole your gran
Disembowel yourself with spears
The disco is vibrating
The sound is loud and grating
Its truly nauseating
Let's do the dance again
Hold a chicken in the air
Stick a deckchair up your nose
Yes you'll hear this song in the holiday discos
And there's no escape in the clubs or in the bars
You would hear this song if you holidayed in Mars
Skin yourself alive
Learn to speak Arapahoe
Climb inside a dog
And behead an eskimo
Now you've heard it once
Your brain will spring a leak
And though you hate this song
You'll be humming it for weeks
Hold a chicken in the air
Stick a deckchair up your nose
Buy a jumbo jet
And then bury all your clothes
