The Black Dahlia Murder – Denounced, Disgraced Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
I don't think it's about John since in the Majesty dvd they mention his departure from the band and the remaining members thank him for his time in the band and whatnot. If this is about John, then it seems they're angry he quit but they wasn't pissed during the dvd; they wouldn't have interviews with him in Majesty if they were I would assume. |

M83 – Car Chase Terror Lyrics

|
I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep and I had Before the Dawn Heals Us playing. I was beginning to dose off while this song came on and it woke me when the mom says "Wake Up! Wake up!" and I was startled the rest of the song. Thankfully Slight Night Shiver relaxed me and I dosed off sometime after that. |

There's a lot of clues that Daryl is no longer straight edge, there's many drug references throughout the album. I hear "This is worship and this a tribute to my drug life" in the first chorus. |

As I Lay Dying – The Darkest Nights Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
Wow, just wow. This song is about God? This is just another case of "As I Lay Dying is christian so this song has to be about God". What about the whole "While your eyes rest in mine" line in the chorus? If it's about God, seems like Tim has some rather deep feeling for God (in a Faith + 1 way). It's about a chick (or his wife). |

Modest Mouse – Ocean Breathes Salty Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
I've always looked at the song as an atheist's last moments the end of the world versus a christian's last moments at the end of the world. An atheist would spend his/her last moments enjoying the world around him, like gazing out at the beauty of a vast ocean. A christian would more than likely spend his/her last moment praying in church. Would you rather spend your last moments enjoying life or would you rather spend it doing what you've been doing all your life? |

Not really, it's pretty much completely about FF7. The first 2 lines don't really make sense as far as the story goes, but yeah, it's about FF7.

It Dies Today – Through Leaves, Over Bridges Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
Like love is fiction mentioned this song is influenced by the Kurt Vonnegut Jr. short story, Long Walk to Forever.
Newt, a private first class (PFC) goes AWOL from his camp in Fort Bragg, NC to see his life long friend, Catharine, who is to be married in a week. Newt asks her for a walk, afterwords mentions that he went AWOL just to see her. As they walk, he tells her that he loves her but doesn't really expect her to love him back. He tells her to remember him from time ti time. She begins to cry, but doing so invites him to kiss her through her expressions. He does and she feels guilty. They stop for a moment to admire the bell tower of a school for blind children. They stop and sit beneath a tree and Newt asks Catharine to close her eyes. As she does, he falls asleep. She admires him as he sleeps. He awakens an hour later and tells her he will leave and turn himself in; that he went AWOL for just one more walk with her. As he turns and walks away, Catharine thinks that if he turns around and calls her name, she will run to him. He does, so she runs to him.
The song seems to switch the roles slomewhat, Newt watches Catherine walk away and waits for to call out to him, but in this version there is no happy ending.
The song title is taken from the line Newt keeps telling Catharine when she erefuses to keep walking: One foot in front of the other-through leaves and over bridges. |

Alexisonfire – Happiness By The Kilowatt Lyrics
| 16 years ago

I agree with most of what everyone says about this song. And I know this theory is wrong, but this is what I thought this song was about as of last year:
I thought this song was about a couple buying an old house and they fix it up together. Then in the middle of the night, there was an electrical mishap and either both of them or just his girlfriend die. I always looked at this song as Dallas trying to wake his girlfriend while the accident happens or Dallas standing over the loved one's grave stating "Wake up..." over and over. Kinda depressing when you look at it that way. But all and all I thought it was a metaphore for either getting your hopes up and having them dashed or creating a life and having everything you worked for taken from you.
PS: Although it seems like a sad song, it is a great make out or hot sweaty fuck song.... same goes for "Side Walk When She Walks". |

At night, turn off every light outside and any light inside that you could possibly see from the outside, smoke a j or blunt, and listen to both "I Think We Both Suffer From the Same Crushing Metaphysical Crisis" and "Lif".

As I Lay Dying – Nothing Left Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
Most of you think of AILD as a christian band and therefore relate every single song Tim write as a song about religion. Tim said it himself: there's a difference between a christian band and five guys in a band who is christian. I personally think this song, as most other songs on this album, is not about religion. I think it has to do with (as simple as it seems) struggling when you believe you have nothing left and trying to find something to live for.
Oh and is it Tim singing the clean? Like "This is Who We Are" no one is credited for singing the clean. If yes, then Tim needs to sing more. |

xNo.Transitory, I was wondering the same thing. No one (other than Tim) is credited to the clean vocals just like Nothing Left.
Also I heard Tim was trying to streer away from Christian related lyrics on this album, for fear of alienating (sp?) some of their fans. |

This is 1 of 3 songs Mikael Akerfeldt (vocalist/guitarist of Opeth) makes an appearance in. Very very beautiful song. Great to smoke a joint to at sunrise.

Dog Fashion Disco – Pogo The Clown Lyrics

Dude! You fucked up the best line! It goes: "Spoke to the Devil the other day and Johnny's doin' fine."
The way you wrote it you make it seem Gacy did life in prison which he was executed with lethal injection. If you're going to go through the trouble of writing lyrics at least know the song first.
Great song about the serial killer John Wayne Gacy. He would somethings dress like a clown named Pogo and entertain children at parties. Now I see why kids are afraid of clowns. |

This is my fav AILD song. It shows that Tim Lambesis has one hell of a vocal range. That's why he's one of my favorite songs.
But its about having a crush on a girl who doesn't seem to notice him. It's either that, or a girlfriend who seems to be growing appart. |

Rammstein – Sonne (English) Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
To me it seems like a song about one of the many ways the world could end, being devoured by the sun. During the cycle of a star, it grows until it finally explodes which is called a supernova. Our sun is in its yellow stage then it will grow into the red stage, also known as a red giant. That's when the sun will burn everything in its way, including the planets. The song may not be about the sun bring about the end, but it seems to fit very well. Its seems kinda creepy, the entire world counting down until the sun finally arrives and burns them alive. |

Tool – Opiate Lyrics

DownedSystem is basically right. Its about every christian never really chose to follow the religion, they were forced to believe in it and defend it at an early age. I think of it as Maynerd sees every born christian as sheep and follows whatever is promised to them, such as heaven. So me kinda makes it seem like a joke and say he's a messiah. But as we all know, I am your savior and messiah. |
