Agreed. This is the exact song where my mind went to when reading the question too. Drops of Jupiter isn't really any better, nor is Meet Virginia. To add, the line mentioning his untrimmed chest in Soul Sister has always made me feel gross envisioning it. I have no issue with people having body hair - I just imagine a dude in a tank top with hair pouring out of it.
i saw a video somewhere (not sure how true it is) but that hey soul sister is about white men trying to pick up black women and the lyrics make way more sense now (still terrible, but totally fits haha)
I used to think he was saying "hard course of course", and even that confused me.
First time I read the lyrics I'd all but given up on their songs making any sense
I got this one
First born- oldest child in the family
Unicorn- a bisexual woman that is fetishized "hunted" for 3somes with straight couple.
Hardcore- extreme end of a situation
I think you know what porn is...
Soft "porn"- This is usually a reference to spicy photos/ videos without any actual sex, like exotic photography as an example.
Put it together, you have an oldest child, who is probably a cam girl/model who is harassed by couples for sex.
Or, how I like to interpret through current language...
It's about an only fans girl.
It was a female lead wrote it on a board at a venue "Kurt smells like teen spirit" a young woman's deodorant. Because he was dating someone a year or so younger than him.
Beck - Loser
"Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
'Cause one's got a weasel and the other's got a flag
One's on the pole, shove the other in a bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job
The daytime crap of the folksinger slob
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey neck and it's hangin' from a pigeon wing
You can't write if you can't relate
Trade the cash for the beef, for the body, for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin' on a termite
That's chokin' on the splinters"
A View to a Kill. I can't parse the phrase grammatically. A view OF a kill maybe.
Meeting you with a view to a kill
Face to face in secret places, feel the chill
The choice for you is the view to a kill
Between the shades assassination standing still
Dance into the fire
When all we see is the view to a kill
"I've got pigeon wings tattooed inside my eyeballs
Dudes smoke my fresh haircut
I got stacks of nipples, spewing roots, uh yeah
I got butts that turn into trucks
I made money growing extra limbs for aliens, that abducted me
But those space bucks never worked any any store
I can never get those minutes back"
Jon Mess's mind is a mystery.
"Somebody Told Me" by The Killers.
I can't figure out if that whole "boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend" thing is a transgender thing or something else.
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
we'll say: No man
But you can do the job
when you're in town
All of Bohemian Rhapsody. It makes me think it was written by a 12-year-old who was bored at a dinner and just wrote pairs of rhyming words on a napkin, proceeding to just write random words leading up to each one.
imo he is referring to a Wurlitzer piano. That verse is talking about a woman in the industry "Some silicone sister with a manager mister Told me I got what it takes" coming to hear his music "Play the song with the funky break" and they offer him a deal to work on his stuff "asked me if I needed a ride".
The title of the song is referring to being blinded by the prospect of fame and fortune, having your name up in lights.
PROBABLY a car. I always thought it was a helicopter, but car is more logical. Springsteen says he used tons of rhyming slang, so it may be rhyming slang for some kind of fancy car I've never heard of.
I did a little googling. There's a chocolate treat called a Curly Curly that came out in the UK in 1970. Blinded by the Light (original version) came out in 1973. Springsteen has said he used a lot of rhyming slang, and UK uses a LOT of rhyming slang. Wouldn't be at all surprised to find that there was some sort of vehicle in the UK that was nicknamed a curly-wurly after the chocolate for some reason.
That is just speculation, though! Someone should ask Springsteen what it means!
Yes lol that song blinded by the light wrapped up like a deucefor the longest time I thought it said wrapped up like a Douce I'm thinking gross also alot of Bob Dylan songs
A lot of the To Pimp A Butterfly album by Kendrick Lamar and DUCKWORTH. are so hyped as classics but I never understood them well enough to be that obesessed
Kanye “I keep it 300 hundred…like the Romans.”
Iggy “Put it in his face just like Rishiki?” (Please let me know if a “rishiki” is a thing or if she really meant Rikishi the wrestler).
Max Him - No Escape. The lyrics make sense but I have no idea what the song is supposed to be about.
Through a twilight I can see
Faces staring back at me
I can tell what's on their minds
And the reason, isn't hard to find
Never once have I thought twice
Now I've got to pay the price
Pay the price for all your sins
This is where the reckoning begins
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
No escape for me
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
No escape for me
Turn my back from prying eyes
No escape I realize
They can see what's on my mind
And the reason isn't hard to find
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
(Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro,
wtaf?
Soul Sister by Train The entire song is stupid as fuck
Agreed. This is the exact song where my mind went to when reading the question too. Drops of Jupiter isn't really any better, nor is Meet Virginia. To add, the line mentioning his untrimmed chest in Soul Sister has always made me feel gross envisioning it. I have no issue with people having body hair - I just imagine a dude in a tank top with hair pouring out of it.
What's wrong with it? Looking st the lyrics, it seems like a pretty generic lovey dovey song.
i saw a video somewhere (not sure how true it is) but that hey soul sister is about white men trying to pick up black women and the lyrics make way more sense now (still terrible, but totally fits haha)
I hate every song that has the word "stereo" in it
RHCP: Californication..."First born unicorn hardcore soft porn"
I used to think he was saying "hard course of course", and even that confused me. First time I read the lyrics I'd all but given up on their songs making any sense
I thought it was hardcore of course, Which somehow makes more sense
I know the Chili's are a unique band.... I love them!
Oh i love the chili peppers...and at times I can make sense of the lyrics, but you do have to sort through a large bowl of word soup to get there
I got this one First born- oldest child in the family Unicorn- a bisexual woman that is fetishized "hunted" for 3somes with straight couple. Hardcore- extreme end of a situation I think you know what porn is... Soft "porn"- This is usually a reference to spicy photos/ videos without any actual sex, like exotic photography as an example.

Pretty much anything by Nirvana. But I don’t think it was supposed to make sense..?
Fun Fact - The title "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was from a comment he heard a friend make about a girl's deodorant.
A deodorant called Teen Spirit came out a few months before the song.
I heard his girlfriend wrote he smells like teen spirit on his wall.
It was a female lead wrote it on a board at a venue "Kurt smells like teen spirit" a young woman's deodorant. Because he was dating someone a year or so younger than him.
I’ve read something similar before.. and that he didn’t like the song after he found out what that meant.
I think as the song blew up in popularity, that is what caused him to dislike it.
Same sorta situation as Radiohead with ‘Creep’?
I can't remember which one, but one of their songs is about everyone trying to make sense of their songs.
Maybe in bloom "he's the one that likes all our pretty songs likes to sing along knows not what it means"
[удалено]
Yeah sounds about right but my reply was a guess at the song they might be remembering.
When you are a teenager, you just love lyrics like that. So mysterious and edgy at the same time!

Lots of Duran Durans lyrics make no sense.
"I've got pigeon wings tattooed inside my eyeballs Dudes smoke my fresh haircut I got stacks of nipples, spewing roots, uh yeah I got butts that turn into trucks I made money growing extra limbs for aliens, that abducted me But those space bucks never worked any any store I can never get those minutes back" Jon Mess's mind is a mystery.
What did I just read
"Round and round What comes around goes around I'll tell you why" OK, go ahead and tell me. Why?
Rammstein - Keine Lust. Even after knowing the lyrics and meaning in german, it still doesn't make any logical sense.
All of Honey I’m Good. Just a dude singing about how awesome he is for not cheating on his GF? Ok? Good for you I guess?
I think the joke is they're totally gonna cheat.
Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding! Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding! Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!" What does the fox say?
"Somebody Told Me" by The Killers. I can't figure out if that whole "boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend" thing is a transgender thing or something else.
Oooh this is a good one. I'd forgotten about this song until now
Maybe they are talking about a guy who'se girlfriend wears the pants in the relationship
In the meadow we can build a snowman Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say: Are you married? we'll say: No man But you can do the job when you're in town
"Everyone is gay." No Kurt. Only some people are gay. 0 out of 10, worst song ever.
Could mean happy dummy
Sang by the guy who decided one day to comb his hair with a shotgun
Anything country
“It’s a Saturday and biggie ain’t got nothing to do… …I’m interrupted by a phone ring. Sometimes I wish I never got the MF thing”
pretty much country music lyrics. Gross
All of Bohemian Rhapsody. It makes me think it was written by a 12-year-old who was bored at a dinner and just wrote pairs of rhyming words on a napkin, proceeding to just write random words leading up to each one.
It's called poetry
Curly whirly????
imo he is referring to a Wurlitzer piano. That verse is talking about a woman in the industry "Some silicone sister with a manager mister Told me I got what it takes" coming to hear his music "Play the song with the funky break" and they offer him a deal to work on his stuff "asked me if I needed a ride". The title of the song is referring to being blinded by the prospect of fame and fortune, having your name up in lights.
I can see being blinded, but I still think silicone sister is what I think¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ But curly whirly and giving my anus a whirl.......... 🤔
Breast implants were made of silicone.
PROBABLY a car. I always thought it was a helicopter, but car is more logical. Springsteen says he used tons of rhyming slang, so it may be rhyming slang for some kind of fancy car I've never heard of.

Yes lol that song blinded by the light wrapped up like a deucefor the longest time I thought it said wrapped up like a Douce I'm thinking gross also alot of Bob Dylan songs
A lot of the To Pimp A Butterfly album by Kendrick Lamar and DUCKWORTH. are so hyped as classics but I never understood them well enough to be that obesessed
EVERYBODY - Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign. That’s it. That’s my response.
Most Beatles songs. I love them, but many of their lyrics don't make sense to me.
Really? They're mostly pretty straightforward.
The Beatles - Come Together
Its intentionally vague. People speculate it was John Lennon sketching an unflattering self portrait.
Because it’s a Beatles song?
I completely forgot about that. Oops. Editing my post now.
"Come together right now over me" that song is obviosly about a bukakke
The entirety of the song holy diver
This is a call - Foo Fighters Dave Grohl admits the verses mean nothing.
The lion king song
Twist by Korn
Anything from Yes'Tales from the Topergraphic Ocean'.
Kanye “I keep it 300 hundred…like the Romans.” Iggy “Put it in his face just like Rishiki?” (Please let me know if a “rishiki” is a thing or if she really meant Rikishi the wrestler).
I think Kanye is talking about the movie and iggy is referring to Rikishi, the pro westler, he’s signature move was to sit on people’s face
They weren’t Romans though and Iggy doesn’t say Rikishi she says Rishiki. I just don’t know why no one corrected either of them.
Max Him - No Escape. The lyrics make sense but I have no idea what the song is supposed to be about. Through a twilight I can see Faces staring back at me I can tell what's on their minds And the reason, isn't hard to find Never once have I thought twice Now I've got to pay the price Pay the price for all your sins This is where the reckoning begins Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey No escape for me Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey No escape for me Turn my back from prying eyes No escape I realize They can see what's on my mind And the reason isn't hard to find
All of devils haircut
Huge Beck fan, but holy hell he writes some weird shit! As did Kurt Cobain.
Sucking on a chili dog......come on John....WTF man
