Meanings of Rock Music Lyrics

My music selection is changing constantly and I am sure that yours is too. Most of the time, I will listen to the lyrics of a song and try to figure out my own meaning for them. To be quite honest, I would sometimes rather create my own meaning out of a musician's lyrics so that I can relate to the song on a personal level. However, once in a while I will come across a few lines that really hit me hard and I will have this sudden desire to know what the artist was feeling when he or she wrote them. This is when I visit songmeanings.net and read some of the interpretations that other listeners have posted.

One song that recently made me look rather closely at its lyrics was "Edit the Sad Parts" by Modest Mouse. At one point in the song, Isaac Brock sings, "I made my shoes shine with my coal, but the polish didn't shine the hole". Not only is this songwriting at its best, but it describes a lot people in our world. No matter how good we make something look, it is never really that good.

I suggest that you visit songmeanings.net and look up some of your favorite rock music lyrics. Not all of the comments that you read will be people's interpretations, but they are certainly scattered throughout.
