I know there are tons of threads about music in the show and what songs should/could have been in the show, but this one deals with unusual/metaphorical lyrics. You'll see what I mean.

EDIT: There are better songs that I didn't know about before that I will add, plus I revised some of the entries that sounded funny and/or stupid. :)

Assassin by Muse.

War is overdue
The time has come for you
To shoot your leaders down
Join forces underground

Lose control
Increasing pace
Warped and bewitched
Intention erased

Boys' attitudes towards their parents early on in the show.



Live Forever by Oasis.

Maybe I dont really want to know
How your garden grows
I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone

Maybe I just want to fly
I want to live I don't want to die
Maybe I just want to breathe
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

This song can relate to Dewey's relationship with the family.

Hardest Button to Button by White Stripes.

...Now we're a family
And we're alright now
We got money and a little place
To fight now
We don't know you
And we don't owe you
But if you see us around
I got something else to show you...

...I had opinions
That didn't matter
I had a brain
That felt like pancake batter
I got a backyard
With nothing in it
Except a stick
A dog
And a box with something in it

This part just feels like it belongs.

Disillusion by Badly Drawn Boy.

Seems you created your own illusion
Fuelled by an image of me
Well I couldn't stay at your side
It wouldn't be right
A picture that I just don't see

Why do you have to make it so complicated
Can't it just be beautiful
I don't want to stifle your flight
I didn't mean to fall in love

This could relate to any relationship of Malcolm's or Reese's.

Paper Shoes by Incubus.

I fly
I soar
This I adore
And then like a locomotive
The sound of your sorrow comes.
I'm tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
But I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater.
I'd rather be alone
You're bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers,
But pain will roll off like water on feathers.

On Malcolm's whining.

Sick Sad Little World by Incubus.

No, You're not the first to fall apart
But always the first one to complain
You better get careful, or you'll compromise
Everything you are

This world is a drought when out of love
Please come back to us
You're all of the above
'I'm making a choice to be out of touch.
Leave me be.' He said, He said, He said

'Leave me here in my stark raving sick sad little world!'

...Malc-angst? :p

Revelations by Audioslave.

You know what to do, you know what I did
Since you know everything just clue me in
I am such a wreck, I am such a mess
I know what I know, why don't you fill in the rest

I will bring you down, I will make it bad
While you're feelin' proud, why don't you help me

Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now
Your revelations
Let me in I don't want to live without
Your revelations

This song relates to Reese.


Well, that's my view. Wanna comment? Add your own? Go ahead.

Thanks. I love them too.

xD Herkabe's "endearing" term is too funny.

Cynthia's Back - 'The Bitch Is Back' lol

Shame she didn't die - if she did they could have used Ding Dong The Witch is Dead :D

Exactly. xD

She was trying way too hard. She had to be one of my least favorite characters, but I don't want this thread to turn into another "WHICH CHARACTER DO YOU HATE THE MOST" thread.

She was one of my least favourites too (though you're probably aware of that from the songs I mentioned lol :D

Well, I've pretty much found the best lyrics for this show. The rest kinda don't compare. The band? 'The Adolescents'. You may have heard of 'em; they're 80's Californian alternative punk. These are just snippets from some of their songs. Kids of the Black Hole is an amazing song (and their best), check it out. The rest are a little above average, but I love most of their lyrics. :p

Brats in Battalions:
Does might make right in this world friends?
It's justified as a means to an end -
Power mad, can't accept defeat,
Revenge is bitter and the taste is so sweet!

Creatures:
I do not act or dress the same - hopeless
I do not fit inside their frame - or class
Oh can't they see that they are lame - no heads
That they're just tokens of my game - pieces

Genius in Pain:
I don't really know which way to go
What I really want to do
Can't you see the pain overload behind my eyes?

Expecting mass perfection
So the plan will carry through
A gift from above, a curse in disguise
Can't find a soul who'll sympathize

(chorus) I'm a genius in pain (x2)
Try to keep a pace impossible to sustain
I'm a genius in pain (x2)
Well I've got to let the storm strike out of my brain
I'm a genius in pain (x2)
Said make no mistakes or it'll all go down the drain
I'm a genius in pain (x2)
Said give me enough time and I'll go insane

Ad Hoc, Ad Loc, Quid Pro Quo
So little time, so much to know
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
The fuses blow

Expecting mass obedience
So my life will go as planned
Is it my friend, is it my foe?
Too many directions that I can go

CHORUS

When I snap, my springs unwind
Will I take it out on you?
Can't you see the danger signs behind my eyes?

Expecting mass destruction
If it doesn't go my way
Doesn't matter to me who lives or dies
Never, no, never will I compromise!

CHORUS

Kids Of The Black Hole:
No sound is heard from unit two
When there was once so much to do
It was once a green mansion, but now it's a wasteland
Our days of wreckless fun are through

Kids in a fast lane living for today
No rules to abide by and no one to obey
Sex, drugs and fun is their their only thought and care
Another swig of brew another overnight affair

CHORUS:
House of the filthy, house not a home
House of destruction where the lurkers roamed
House that belonged to all the homeless kids
Kids of the black hole

Messages and slogans are the primary decor
History's recorded in a clutter on the floor
Inhabitants that searched the grounds for roaches or spare change
Another night of chaos is so easy to arrange

CHORUS

The nights of birthdays
The nights of fry
The nights of endless drinking
The nights of violence
The nights of noise
The nights that had to end for good, still not understood, by the girls and boys

Carefree in their actions as for morals they had none
When the girls were horny who would be the lucky ones?
Pushing all the limits to a point of no return
Trashed beyond belief to show the kids don't wanna learn

CHORUS

Wrecking Crew:
There's nothing to do
Excitement level zero
I can't find a girl
Cos they're all out chasing heros
We're just a wrecking crew bored boys with nothing to do

Alone in a corner of a room with a knife
Better ways out than taking your life
Home's not so bad don't need to run
Come join our primitive ways of fun
We're just a wrecking crew bored guys with nothing to do

Safety in numbers an enemy to beat
Let's overturn cars and rip up the street
I'm tired of being a peaceful citizen
Noise and destruction are in my vision
We're just a wrecking crew bored boys with nothing to do

You're not all by yourself
You've got a few friends
When we become one
The violence never ends
We're just a wrecking crew bored boys with nothing to do
