Song Meaning....

EDDIEisMINE · January 2004

Can't Keep. I once read a post somewhere and noone had much of an idea what this song was about. Your theory about ed wanting to do other things than sing, etc. makes much sense.

Love is a tower and i think its about eds romance with his true love he says he was thrown off track but now he's back on track with her. I hope its ok to say that, not to start any talk about anything. I just think that is what and who that song is about.
Very beautiful song. I think its the best from RA and possibly one of my favorites ever.

.....sounds like a person waking up with a hangover to pretentious drivel in the newspaper ("the adjectives they all are a blurring").... as he starts to nod off he changes his mind and says "I cannot concur", perhaps to himself....then he dares himself to swallow that last tab of acid he's been saving and he goes for it.... then he goes outside on the streets of Cambridge and sees a former musician who wrote the song "Dolly Rocker", walking the road, "Sonic Floyd", with a "scar on the brain", that turns into an eyeball that is Dennis Rodman's.

Actually, I don't know what it's about....

Wow, I Gotta Read That Book, Whats It About??

well, i think black is about the death of a loved one and the suffering one must go through without that person....as for having a beautiful life in someone else's sky can be a suggestion of reincarnation or perhaps an after life.

could be...but what I really wanted to say is...

WELCOME TO THE BOARD!!!

I think Evolution is about the fact that you can't stop something that's already happened, and the video reinforces that.

Someone said Black was about a shiela losing her virginity and then the guy fucks up, that might as well be true... He's broken the glass and now he knows what he's done, he now holds that glass. And then he's scarred for life...

What's this about the mother sexually abusing the guy in Alive? I don't even sense a nod to that idea... Wha?

I seem to think that Even Flow is about a mentally disabled kid. He can't obey his own thoughts.

Hail Hail is very much like my situation now to me, there's a girl that he has a very, very big fat crush on. That's all really!

No Way I think is him asking for help, he's given up on everything else.

Oceans I think is saying that we'll all be okay. I don't know how I got that idea, but I do. Why isn't Oceans a longer song!?

Good Question, Oceans Should Be Longer!!

"Oh she walks slowly into a young mans room....she says i'm ready...for you. I can't remember anything to this very day 'cept the look...the look...oh...you know where(!). Now I can't see...I just stare. I'm still alive."

"I'm still live" meaning 'I'm the lover who is still Alive.'
He repress's the memory's but still can't keep the most traumatic ones out of his mind... "Oh...you know where"

I was under the impression that even flow was about poverty and homelessness (Spelling ?). Hence "Freezin' he rests his head on a pillow made of concrete..again." and "Lookin' through the paper though he never learned to read."

Can i please have ppl's opinion on the meaning of Cropduster.
I somehow think its about 9/11
"every life is falling down"
"seed to seedling root to stem"
"dad, he's gone up in flames, but this aint no movie"
Cropduster is also the name of a plane,I just think that is has someting to do with that dreadfull day.

I think your right, which would put a little more meaning behind " i thought the world" get it? the world trade buildings?

crazycommisar · January 2004

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 think gremmie out of control is about... shit I have no idea what it is about

huntj · January 2004

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?

whoYOUare · January 2004

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

lazygun_99 · January 2004

ahhh OK

whoYOUare · January 2004

" I Am Mine ", To Me Is About The Gift If You, And How No One Can Take That Away From You.

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!!!!!!!!!
