Lyrics that don't make much sense

[Kodos]

"Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang bang!
I am The Warrior"

Walls of heartache? Shooting them? Huh?

I think a good alternative would be:

"Kicking at the balls of heartache
Bam bam!
I am The Warrior"

Wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night.

[MJ4H]

open up your morning light

[BrianD]

Wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night.

Is this the misheard lyrics that don't make sense?

[cartman]

There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirming like a toad

[path12]

Everybody Wang Chung tonight.

[Abe Sargent]

I still don't know what the fuck a Wonderwall is

[SteveMax58]

She came in thru the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
Now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon

Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sundays on the phone to Monday
Tuesdays on the phone to me

[DataKing]

There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
There's nothing you can sing that can't be sung.

Duh!!

[Maple Leafs]

We've done this before. I'll say now what I said then:

Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry
In five days from now he's going to marry
He's hoping you can make it there if you can
Cause in the ceremony, you'll be the best man.
Wait, what? Larry wants you to be the best man? He's not your best friend, Harry is. In fact it sounds like you barely know the guy. And why isn't he having his brother be best man? What kind of messed up family dynamics are going on here? He snubs his own brother, and chooses his brother's best friend? Talk about passive-aggressive. And what's with only giving you five day's notice? What kind of half-assed wedding is this?

"I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes."

Who the fuck likes goodbyes?

[jeff061]

Misanthropes.


/loves goodbyes

[Sun Tzu]

I love them, but you could just subtitle this thread Stone Temple Pilots lyrics.

[Tigercat]

You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you, don't you


It is about him you crazy bitch! Damn womens got to play mind games via songs.

[Pyser]

youre a vegetable, youre a vegetable

[Scarecrow]

Wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night.

It's deuce (still doesn't make sense, though)

[mauchow]

"I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes."

Who the fuck likes goodbyes?

10 million fireflies..

[Scarecrow]

Dola-

Actually, I looked it up and found out that Blinded by the Light was written by Bruce Springsteen, and "wrapped up like a deuce in the middle of the night" is a reference to drag racing (ala the Beach Boy's Little Deuce Coupe).

And that's the rest of the story...

[stevew]

The Springsteen storytellers episode had a good segment about blinded by the light. Springstern said something about his version not being as popular cause he didn't use douche

[stevew]

Dola
My daughter hates the lyric from the Killers

"are we human. Or are we Dancers"

[CU Tiger]

There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirming like a toad


This one actually makes perfect sense...

[PadresFan104]

It's deuce (still doesn't make sense, though)

Rev'ed up like a deuce. I think it makes sense. (Deuce coupe?) Sorta. Ok, maybe not...

[Logan]

[Run-D.M.C.] "My name is Darryl, but you can call me D, hit it!"

[Darryl Strawberry]
My name is Darryl, I'm a baseball player
One thing I forgot to say-a
When I'm on the field I'm on top of the world
I get screams from all the girls (Dar-ryl!)
Everybody in the stadium, screams for me
Strike one, strike two, but no strike three
When I'm runnin, all the players make space
I run, I slide, and then I'm safe
"Cause you're DEF!" Yo, I ain't soft
I even get paid on my days off
Grandslammer, "Are you as good as they, say?"
I guess you never came to see me play
Any pitch you throw I control it
Lookin for third bass, yo I stole it, that's right
I took it while you wasn't lookin
So give me your beef, homeboy I'm cookin
I can get loose so don't you try
I graduated from Crenshaw High
You can even ask Eric 'Boogie' E

Real winner.

From the number 1 song in the US right now by Ke$ha

"the guys lining up cause they say we got swagger
But we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger"

I guess she may be talking about young Mick Jagger. Unless she likes old men with leathery skin.

[Karlifornia]

Or, maybe, she just needed something that rhymed with "swagger".

Song doesn't actually make it real clear who 'he' is.

You get told first that Harry has a brother Larry.

You then get told that in five days from now "he's" gonna marry.

The note about the brother could be just a completely irrelevant piece of trivia to make the rhyme fit.

"how about thin transparent dangling carrots"

[Draft Dodger]

And my time is a piece of wax fallin’ on a termite
who's chokin’ on the splinters

[BrianD]

"how about thin transparent dangling carrots"

"how bout *them* transparent dangling carrots". Sort of like the promises that all bosses leave hanging out there to get people to work harder. Follow that up with "how bout that ever elusive kudo" which is the thanks you never actually get by chasing the transparent dangling carrots.

Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats,
Lining them up-a like ass cracks,
Lay these ponies at the track
Its my chocolate attack.
Shit, I'm stepping in the heart of this here
Care bear bumping in the heart of this here
Watch me as I gravitate
Hahahahahahaa

[stevew]

I thought it was about diamonds. Like diamond earrings. And carats, not carrots.

[stevew]

There's two things I know for sure:
She was sent here from heaven and she's
daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes and
I thank god for all the joy in my lifeOh, but most of all
For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer;
sticking little white flowers all up in her
hair; "Walk beside the pony, Daddy, it's my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny, Daddy, but I sure tried."
In all that I've done wrong I know I must
have done something right to deserve a hug
every morning and butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet 16 today
She's looking like her mama a little more everyday
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and make-up from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world.

But I remember
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer; sticking
little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you, Daddy, But if you
don't mind I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time."
With all that I've done wrong I must have done
something right to deserve her love every morning
and butterfly kisses at night.

All the precious time
Like the wind, the years go by.
Precious butterfly.
Spread your wings and fly.

She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride-room just staring at her.
She asked me what I'm thinking and I said "I'm not
sure-I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
She leaned over...gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there,
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk my down the aisle, Daddy-it's just about time."
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, Daddy? Daddy, don't cry!"

Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have
done something right.
To deserve your love every morning and butterfly
kisses-I couldn't ask God for more, man this is what love is.

I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses.

I know Butterfly Kisses was a touching song about a man and his daughter.

But however, and maybe I'm wrong here, but these lyrics are fucked up.

[Vince, Pt. II]

I'm not so sure about the Butterfly Kisses lyrics. I think it's a stretch to put them beyond tame.

[DataKing]

And my time is a piece of wax fallin’ on a termite

Show me some Beck lyrics that do make sense. ;)

[DaddyTorgo]

i'd like your hair long and laid on to the ground
you'd prefer an astronaut
someone to relate to and someone to command
and i would be a simple man
i could hardly wait for my stars to fall in line
and synchronize and shine
a wasted string of years, and a wasted string of lies
it's still the same to me
it's a waste of a song
you're a waste of my lungs
it's a waste of a song
i'd like your face gone and in its place the sun
and i would be an astronaut
for i have come to surface to catch some light and feed
and i have everything i need
and i could hardly wait for my stars to fall in line
and synchronize and shine
a wasted string of years, and a wasted string of lies
you're still the same to me
you're a waste of a song
you're a waste of my lungs
it's a waste of a song

[DaddyTorgo]

the distance outside of you comes into focus, collapses away loving me
and hands to the glass and eyes to sky and glued to the south she waits to see
she's looking for birds she met last fall,
who said they would come back different than all
she's waiting for six who know about sound,
who'd promised to come back upside down
and i like your raindrop collector,
splash in my eyes and makes everything else look like you
so hand me the glasses and teach me to use them,
show me the window, i want to look too
i'll take the glasses and cover for you,
you get some sleep and i'll stay 'till two.
i'm looking for six who know about sound,
who promised to come back upside down
she's got colors to spare and i don't care what they choose
and i've got nothing to do and nothing like you left to lose

[Pumpy Tudors]

Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats,
Lining them up-a like ass cracks,
Lay these ponies at the track

Shit, I'm stepping in the heart of this here
Care bear bumping in the heart of this here
Watch me as I gravitate
Hahahahahahaa
Technically speaking, this song is a two-pronged biographical allegory about me and the professional wrestler known as The Ultimate Warrior.

[DaddyTorgo]

so you're the chocolate attack on ass cracks?

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

I guess he's done here.

[cartman]

so you're the chocolate attack on ass cracks?

I interpreted those lines as the struggle PT and TUW undertook to stop water pollution from open pit coal mines.

[Pumpy Tudors]

so you're the chocolate attack on ass cracks?
Why, yes, that was my nickname in college.

[DaddyTorgo]

Why, yes, that was my nickname in college.
