726150 2008-12-06 22:47:00 Perhaps you need to listen to a higher class of music .

Or a lower class of music if you can't handle any depth .

Whats this, Poorly written or gifted lyricist?



You wired me awake
And hit me with a hand of broken nails
You tied my lead and pulled my chain
To watch my blood begin to boil
But Im gonna break
Im gonna break my
Im gonna break my rusty cage and run
Too cold to start a fire
Im burning diesel burning dinosaur bones
Ill take the river down to still water
And ride a pack of dogs
Im gonna break
Im gonna break my
Im gonna break my rusty cage and run
Hits like a phillips head
Into my brain
Its gonna be too dark
To sleep again
Cutting my teeth on bars
And rusty chains, Im gonna break my
Rusty cage and run
When the forest burns
Along the road
Like gods eyes
In my headlights
When the dogs are looking
For their bones
And its raining icepicks
On your steel shore
Im gonna break
Im gonna break my
Im gonna break my rusty cage and run
I'm not saying ALL the songs are like that . Some are of course easily understandable . The above lyrics are pretty understandable .

I listen to a song to relax, not to discover its hidden meanings .

(www.lyricsmode.com)



When I was a little bitty boy
My Grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver bells hanging on a string
She said it was my Ding a ling a ling

Oh my ding a ling, Everybody sing
I wanna play with my ding a ling a ling
Oh my ding a ling, my ding a ling
I wanna play with my ding a ling a ling

(I forgot to tell you it's a little jerk, Right there, A little jerk in it, Right there, Can't do without that jerk, Yeah)

When I started Grammar School
I used to stop off in the vestibule
Every time that bell would ring
I'd take out my ding a ling a ling

Oh my ding a ling, Everybody sing
I wanna play with my ding a ling a ling
My ding a ling, my ding a ling
I wanna play with my ding a ling a ling

(Here come that jerk again, Mmh, Does something good to ya)

Humpty dumpty on the wall
Humpty had an awful fall
When they went to tell the king
Caught him playing with his ding a ling

Oh my ding a ling, my ding a ling
Come on now everybody sing
My ding a ling, my ding a ling
I wanna play with my ding a ling

(Oh yeah, Got something to it)

I remember the girl next door
We used to play house on the kitchen floor
I'd be king, she'd be queen
Together we'd play with our ding a ling a ling

My ding a ling, Oh my
I wanna play with my ding a ling a ling

(Mmh)

When they took me to Sunday School
Tried to teach me the golden rule
But every time the quire would sing
Catch me playing with my ding a ling

Oh my ding a ling, my ding a ling
I wanna play with my ding a ling
My ding (That's right), my ding a ling
I wanna play with my ding a ling a ling

(You know, I didn't hear everybody singing, Everybody joins in on that course)

This here song, it ain't to sad
Cutest little song you ever had
Those of you, who will not sing
You must be playing with your own ding a ling

Oh my ding a ling, my ding a ling (Come on now, Come on now, Everybody sing)
Now my ding a, oh my ding a
I wanna play with my ding a ling

(Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah)

726155 2008-12-07 08:19:00 In this day and age?

It's been allowed in every day and age. It's only recently that people have been marrying after 13 or so.
It's thought that Juliet was about 13 or 14. The same is true in Eugene Onegin.

The same is true in Bert Brecht's "Whiskey Bar", which was then sung by the Doors.

Or do you expect us to be progressing from that?

Yes it is a recent thing, which is why saying "In this day and age" is appropriate. Because it's something that applies to this day and age. >_<

Despite the fact that talking about little girls has been absolutely A-OK since the bard?

Or are you talking abou "recent" in geological terms?

726157 2008-12-07 19:37:00 What's kinda funny is the name of the killers album I originally mentioned is called 'Day and Age'. We've gone full circle! :p wratterus (105)
726158 2008-12-08 00:05:00 Bah, I never liked that song. Or, for that matter, most pop songs. I'm partial to a bit of Hatebreed - Defeatist (www.youtube.com) myself.

Trapped within your own apathy
Spiralling into a cycle of loss
Beaten mind with a bruised reflection
It's addiction to failure and substances
That ties you to your selfish punishment
In your eyes it's cursed
No fix, no cure, tortured with imperfection
Your hatred is aimless
This is my hatred, this is my vow,
Never to be broken

Cause you HATE yourself
And you HATE this world
And you HATE the fact
That you HATE every moment

Cause you HATE yourself
And you HATE this world
And you HATE the fact
That you HATE every moment

Cause you HATE yourself
And you HATE this world
And you HATE the fact
That you HATE every moment

Cause you HATE yourself
And you HATE this world
And you HATE the fact
That you HATE every moment

Defeatist, you and I will never be the same
I've taken this vow of hatred...Take the vow
A promise to myself to never be my own defeatist
This is my hatred, this is my vow.
Never to be broken

Cause you HATE yourself
And you HATE this world
And you HATE the fact
That you HATE every moment

Cause you HATE yourself
And you HATE this world
And you HATE the fact
That you HATE every moment

Cause you HATE yourself
And you HATE this world
And you HATE the fact
That you HATE every moment

Cause you HATE yourself
And you HATE this world
And you HATE the fact
That you HATE every moment


Defeatist, You and I will never be the same

I take this vow
I take this vow of hatred
I take this vow, never to be broken
