Can Axl save rock n roll with chinese democracy??

[J.J. Cook]

Yeah. The thing with songs like "Heart-Shaped Box" though is no one really knows what it means. You can get a million different interpretations and then listen to people argue over it and it's not like we can ask Kurt.

[RageNirvanaNIN]

That said, there's still more meaning in a song like Heart-Shaped Box than there is in Paradise City - I love both songs, just for comparison.

maybe more meaning but , paradise city has an impact on somebody. I was huge on nirvana i rememeber listening to HSB and it was good and all but PC spoke to me ?( me being a 12 - 13 year old kid ) it made me pick up a guitar. Cobain never did anytihng for songs like HSB are so boring , i mean nirvana's song all sound the same. In fact i say that bleach is the most original album... HSB was about what some box he gave courtney? something like that? Think about PC how it was written , in the back of a van coming back from seattle ( ? ) on the way to LA with axl and co writing there hearts out on how they want to be taken to the "paradise City" that has way more meaning to me , and really impacts me more.

hahah even then kurt never knew what his songs where about he would openly admit it , i mean he said that in utero was a bunch of poems trown together.

Did HSB not have anything at all to do with cancer?

[AxlReznor]

RageNirvanaNIN... I've come to the conclusion, you really do know nothing... so I'm out.

[J.J. Cook]

Real mature^^   but you guys just gave two different meanings you heard of from HSB which proves my point.

[Nighteyes]

I don't know about saving,but I hope he can make it bigger..


yes,this discussion is interesting..i hope it won't get locked

Heart-Shaped Box
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back (Alt: ... when you turn black)

Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait! (Alt: Hate! Haight!)
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left back
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap

I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Your advice (x3)

i know nothing how do I know nothing? I know more about the bands you talk about then you know about the ones ?speak of. If you have called aerosmith and zeppelin out and "mock" them you know NOTHING suit yourself.

[AtariLegend]

So

Did HSB not have anything at all to do with cancer?

[RageNirvanaNIN]

anyways to further show kurts thoughts on lyrics

So

Answer straight for cobain himself
"Music is first, lyrics are secondary." - Kurt

[AtariLegend]

Well then I guess we can all move on from Nirvana, cause their not gonna save Rock N Roll are they?

[RageNirvanaNIN]

hahah true well i dont know what to argue about because mr.red left because i supposedly knew nothing lol....righhht

[ppbebe]

Well i think kurt was right in saying music comes first. I don't dig lyrics if I don't like the music.

Atari. does your name not have anything to do with some instrument maker?

You can get a million different interpretations and then listen to people argue over it

Could it be one of the factors that make good lyrics?

[RageNirvanaNIN]

TRUE i was gonna point that out but he makes he lyrics so absurd and broad that it MEANS anything , not neccisarly has different interperations...you understand? Some songs dont need different meanings to be kick ass ex

No it's from a game company.

True it is a factor, otherwise why are we all here?

The problem with that mentality is that no matter how stupid something, is if you analyze it enough you'll get some profound meaning. So it's very difficult to argue what good lyrics are and what bad lyrics are.

Fuck this, fuck that, kill everyone

Are they good lyrics?

[J.J. Cook]

Some would say so. Some would say they're not. Then someone would defend them and say something to the effect of " It's ____'s way of screaming out against the corruption of modern society and beginning the cleansing with the death of the current generation". You see what I mean?

I do, but there comes a point when we should all know that some lyrics by some bands are just nonscense.

what is scott weiland trying to say with the lyrics "somebody raped my tapeworm abortion"

love weiland, but alot of his lyrics are pure gibbrish

[J.J. Cook]

I wish it were true. I laughed my ass off when I read someone argue about how System Of A Down's "Cigario" was a deep, profound political song talking about Bush and America.
