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? :]?
Augustana- Stars And Boulevards
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
Reply:JoDee Messina, from "I'm alright"
'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.
Saturday nights at the drags and crusing the main street, afterwards.

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
