  • hmmm from listening to I am mine i got that it was about 9/11


    The selfish, they're all standing in line
    Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time
    Me, I figure as each breath goes by
    I only own my mind

    The North is to South what the clock is to time
    There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
    I know I was born and I know that I'll die
    The in between is mine
    I am mine

    And the feeling, it gets left behind
    All the innocence lost at one time
    Significant, behind the eyes
    There's no need to hide
    We're safe tonight

    The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying
    The full moon is looking for friends at hightide
    The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied
    I only know my mind
    I am mine

    And the meaning, it gets left behind
    All the innocents lost at one time
    Significant, behind the eyes
    There's no need to hide
    We're safe tonight

    And the feelings that get left behind
    All the innocents broken with lies
    Significance, between the lines
    (We may need to hide)

    And the meanings that get left behind
    All the innocents lost at one time
    We're all different behind the eyes
    There's no need to hide

    just seemed like it was talking about the victims and the courageous firefighters/police who went into the towers.

    i love to listen to the bush leaguer, but not really sure of it's meaning. does it have to do with something about G.W. Bush?
    Don't be so quick to judge, you're being judged yourself.

    Bu$hleager, is indeed about G dubs. i read shortly after riot act came out, that if eddie had know it was gonna make the record he wouldnt have toned down some of the things he said... i dont care i think its a dam good song.
    i believe gremmie out of control is about a person who is tryin to surf, but is bad, and gets in the way of the good surfers tryin to do their thing

    What about this? Its lyrics but I figure it will work with this thread. What do the lyrics "I would rather starve than eat your bread" mean? I'm not talking about the song just the lyrics. Is it good that you would starve for someone and let them eat your bread or is it like you would rather starve and die than eat bread from that person? Like you hate them so much that you would rather starve than eat. Does that make sense?
    i think it means..if i stand opposed to you,your thoughts/ideas,your Views in general,i would rather starve than eat your bread..ill go hungry before i agree with what you believe.you know?make sense? i will go hungry before i eat that bullshit!!!!!!!!!

    I think its about being repressed
    ( i was not alowwed to leave the room)
    and not doing anything
    (i saw the sun go down)
    then regretting losing that time
    out of your life by not doing anything.
    (and now its coming up)
    and remembering you are going to die and you only have so long to live
    (I was bitten
    must have been teh devil
    he was just paying me...
    a little visit
    reminding me of his presence
    and letting me know
    he's a waiting)

    but its too late and you already lost some of your life, your blood, and died a little, hence the Red mosquito.

    This is one of my favourite songs lyrically. To me, it is about a girl who's been seeing a guy and he keeps screwing up but she doesn't have the heart to break it off. She doesn't really love him, but she remains with him. She plans how she will end it, but she can't. After all, she can't really find a "better man"

    I hope I got it!

    I totally agree with this, I can also relate, I live that life.
    I will feel alive as long as I am free
