I'm sure there's at least one song out there that you listen to or have heard that you really don't understand completely.

This thread is for anyone who is curious about the true message of a song. Post the lyrics to the song you're unsure confused about and anyone else can analyze. Even if you're not confused about the song, it might be interesting to see what others think of the lyrics.

Have at it! I hope this works. wink

-hh-
great thread.

here's a song i enjoy listening to, but it's a bit complex

the song is by Warcloud (also known as Holocaust).

Warcloud- Midnight in the Garden of Good


Midnight in the Garden of Good..


This being of age old grace, architect Holocaust
Moss back, Antideluvian data plate
Embedded and preserved, expired, current departed
Lyrics crash across ya head, now unzippen ya face
Former antique, kissing crocodiles, flight bound
Tear open ya flesh like presents and thinner nightgowns
Tut slow down, you'll never catch Mr. Applebee
In some flaming town, you'll bury yaself, the greediest
Death before riches, kingdom of good barbarians
Circumstances of development leading up to the previous
Where the day takes you, placed within the sun
Crush all the village cowards, devour 'til sin is done
One bag of bones, children gather, Easter egg hunt
Afterwards, fruit, bon-bons and safari punch
Branded hollow planet, period of adjustment
Back to the hanging gardens and lavish the fake lunch
Plantation memories, stone monolith choicebound
Hoist down the use of human beings of voice sound
In the prairie fields, the poppies blow
All the crosses, row and row
They are the dead, short days ago
They lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
The torch be yours, to hold it high
If ye break faith with us, who dies?
Loved and were loved, and now they lie
cuz they didn't live life, from the ground to the sky


Silver ants and golden beetles crawling throughout my paragraphs
Father architect, to peal the lemon and share a drag
Snow creek lime, draw lyrics that float and colorize
Butterscotch ladybugs, candy-cane butterflies


In-line skates in a pillowcase, swinging at ya face
The sound through a combination of sounds or it's representation
In writing or printing, the text of a vocal theme
Salamander slithers into a stream where glitters fiend
Calm unique, cinema fantastique, the true castle
We build the new chapples, still bobbing for blue apples
Tackle and shackle, recycling wordage and best far
The Titantic artifacts on waterfront restaurant
World War 3, entrees, pickled and cripple me
Aqua-taxi verbalism torch, ticketed separately
Ice laid in waters, all thrill to the heroic
Hair pins, twists and turns, bottles exploded
Tomorrow land, news flash, Baskin Robbins and Hagen Das
Lens Crafter articles cleansing open ya noggin flaws
Views of marine life, mystifyingly true
Rob ya scores of curiousities, it's just a rhyming see-through
Flew first class, ideal baby pandas, koalas
Go mix Pina Coladas and experience my Kitanas
Those Mephostophales, Beezelbub, Lucifierian lifestyle
Black mambo, king snake, desert gecko, the cowardly
Waffle show club, foot polly, slobbing for penny
Dirty six-legged pigs from New Guinea, Eric and Minnie
For the jealous always tell us that the enemy envies hatred
And the deciteful lust read it, shed off infinity facelifts
Takes one to know, land mammals return to sea
and the water turns to blood, chew cotton candy with glee




Hang 'em high, dripping, overlooking the rolling vineyards
Sunset stroll, hand-picked the green raisins
Rocky mountain strawberries, leisure suit for the tastebuds
My speech rinses flesh from the fossils of seenications
Seem patient, wasting time now, slim-fitten crewmen
The insects and the creatures tell riddles of dim-witted humans
One man aircraft carrier, personelle
No drinking during the sermon, extinguish the serpent tail
What mockery have thee traded for thy precious soul?
The voice being starfruit or dragon fruit, re-evaluate choice
Merry-go-rounds, monkey bars, neck climbs and curvy slides
Balance beams and hide-aways, all examined my thirty rhymes
Interactive play areas, reservations required
Free wheelchair strollers and lockers for aiming higher
Plus elite catering, remarkeable tasting menu
and every dollar that you spend enables it to continue
Never will concede, just work hard, determined
Either/or suburban or urban, Italian, German
Spanish, French, African, Oriental and Russian
Samoan Irish bagpipes wrestle with the precussion
Party hats, balloons and crazy string, confeti
Open field exhibit Caravans, lyrical Serenghetti
Over night camping trip, foes will disappear
Heavy paragraphs, clear and truthfully engineered




If a man was to tell me he wasn't God
I would have to ask him what he was


What do you call yourself politically and how do you
define yourself, in a political philosophy?

Nice idea for a thread. But I have one problem. My problem is a whole album. So my post would be to long for that. It's the only album I've ever heard that's left me sayin' "WTF?", lol

And that album is "Supreme Clientele." The album is dope and i'd think most would agree but the things Ironman says on it, truthfully just don't make sense, were talking most of the time. It's like his style on that album is just like a bunch of words thrown together that sound dope.. I liked it cause of the stuff i did understand, beats were hot and guests heads ripped it too. But I would even ask my boys to analyze the tape, and they try to explain it to me but to no avail. They end up confused...lol

Not saying Ironman sucks, he's got flow..but his consistency sucks.

...and on the 3rd day, Raz created "Search".

As said, art is more or less open to interpretation unless there is a specific meaning. There's some pretty specific ones in that thread, but it's still more or less subjective interpretation based on possible reference points.

Kelvin there, describing Raz as the Almighty God.

Alpha Centauri
You see, what I did was because he created the forum and the search function. So...ahhhhh see what you did there.

And this one in turn is similar to the "Song meaning" thread.

Good concept still.

Alpha Centauri
Yeah, in title only.

Analysing lyrics to see what the songs mean in general or to each other. Which is exactly what the other thread was for.
