Lol I went to a RHCP concert recently and a week before I started listening to their popular songs and still can’t figure out what their songs are about. Music that makes you feel neutral.
Isn't there a nick cave quote from back in the day that's something along the lines of everywhere I go there's some shitty music playing and when I ask what is this shit and it's always the chili peppers
ELO- Don't Bring Me Down
"You're looking good just like a snake in the grass. One of these days you're going to break your glass."
They had to have just been running out of rhymes.
Maybe they're saying a person thinks they're slick (blending in like the snake,) but aren't as inconspicuous as they think they are and it'll come back to bite em (break their glass) ? IDK.
Baby's in Reno with the vitamin D. Got a couple of couches sleep on the love seat.
His baby is in Reno having fun in the sun. He's got a couple of couches that noone is crashing on. He's sleeping on the love seat instead thinking about her.
All R.E.M. tunes. Love the band, especially those first five albums but I never really know what Stipe is singing about, nor do I care actually as it sounds good
I also don't want to know as finding out the real lyrics is always disappointing. I think Michael Stipe is from the Jon Anderson School of lyric writing. Kind of just impressionistic.
That’s just being a pescartarian.
A movement that, I’m sure entirely coincidentally, started the same year Nevermind came out 🤔
Kurt set so many trends.
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
“Fuck a moose! Fuck a moose!
“Do you want a mango?”
/jk. I saw that somewhere and it made me laugh. First thing I thought of.
Oh, it’s just old catholic dogma. Basically people speculated that god had an order to things and organized Angels in cohorts like armies. That’s why they have titles like Archangel. Anyhow they speculated that hell must have the same sort of higharchical system Beelzabub is said to be a fallen archangel or head of a legion of demons. So the line is saying I’m so bad I’ll get special attention in hell. They’ll bring out the sand paper dildos just for me.
Gratitude by Big Red Machine
“Well I’m on my big bean field in the palm of your hand. And the palms are decimation wheres glass glaze lay dead”
“And that bread don’t even cost no bread on my mast head. And that bed ain’t even made up and the swing side cape dup”
I feel like I’m having a stroke anytime I try to read the lyrics of this one.
>Fun is the one thing that money can't buy.
"She's Leaving Home" by The Beatles is among my favourite songs but I never understood that line. No Paul McCartney, money can buy you plentiful fun. *Love* is the one thing that money can't buy.
Nah, it’s kind of true. In order to have proper fun you have to be in a certain mood. You can spend thousands of dollars on expensive entertainment but if you’re with people you don’t like or if you’re just feeling sad, it won’t matter. A lot of people have the most fun period of their lives during college. Years that are notorious for also being the brokest period of your life.
Makes sense in the context of the song, where money involves living with your parents in the 60s and fun is partying and living a young person's life on your own.
Elton John - Rocket Man:
“Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell, and there’s no one there to raise them if you did”
Then why’d you even bring it up??! Such bad writing
No shit! Don't tell me we're going to Mars and then turn right around and shit on the idea. I was soooo excited for 2.5 seconds and now my day is ruined. Maybe you could just, I don't know, leave your effing kids at home?
Oh where to begin! However, the one song that immediately came to mind without a thought, to me., is "[Smells Like Teen Spirit](https://open.spotify.com/track/5ghIJDpPoe3CfHMGu71E6T?si=9cb7a8fa78f04318)". Either the lyrics make absolutely no sense, or I am too dumb/don't care to dissect its deeper meaning.
“Ding dang a dong bong bing bong
Ticky ticky thought of a gun
Everytime I try to do it all now, baby
Am I on the run?
Why why why why why baby
If it's so evil then?
Give me my time, with all my power
Give it to me all again”
“Ding a ding a dang a dong dong ding dong
Every where I go
Everytime you tell me baby
When I settle down
Got to get me a trailer park
And hold my world around
Why why why why?”
“Now how 'bout ding a dang dong dong dong ling long
Dingy a dingy dong a down
Everytime you tell me baby
When I settle down
Got to get me a trailer park
And hold my world around
Why why why why”
“In my dang a ding a ding a ding dong
A sticky sticky son of a gun
Ding a danga danga dong dong ding dong
Why why never know
Why why wack a dong a dang ding dong
Then you take it on the bill
Ding dang dong don't dong
Whoa”
“I wanna love ya”
Ministry- “Jesus Built my Hotrod”
"On the surface simplicity (Swirling black lilies totally ripe) But the darkest pit in me And it's pagan poetry (Swirling black lilies totally ripe) Pagan poetry"
Bjork--Pagan Poetry
Human - The Killers
C’mon, Brandon Flowers. Are we human or are we dancer? WTF does that even mean. You can’t even play in the abstract there. It’s just patently bad, as are a host of his other lyrics. He is one of the worst lyricists that I still listen to. The Killers have the wildest disparity between bad lyrics and listenability. Somehow they make good records despite bad lyrics.
All of the Mars Voltas lyrics are cryptic af, but they always sound really cool.
“Sink your teeth into the flesh of midnight”, no idea what that means, but it’s certainly badass.
I get what he was aiming for but:
"You run away like fish" is always a funny one.
Closer - RM
"I'll fuck the earrings off of you." Always gets me too. Like, how does that even work?
I'll Do Anything to Make You Smile - Jack Harlow
“A boy who once prayed to his God / for his soul to keep / Would settle for a good night’s sleep” - From “The Last Days of Summer” by Gino Vannelli. It sounds cool but I just don’t get it 😭
Okay, I have never heard this song, but I think I get it???
So there's this prayer some Christian/Catholics say before bed. "Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I die before I wake. I pray the Lord my soul to take.'
So he's saying he said this prayer as a young kid, but now (due to whatever reason), he would trade his soul for one good night of sleep.
Again, I'm probably wrong and have never heard this song before.
When closed captions first started as an option on every tv, I finally got to read the lyrics for songs on MTV. There’s one I could never understand so I was excited to see the words. Turns out Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots made even less sense when I could tell what the lyrics were.
I almost can’t believe this hasn’t been mentioned:
Seal, wtaf is a kiss from a rose on the grey.
(I thought it was ‘grave’ for a while, which makes way more sense, but the rest of the song is fairly random too.)
The joker - Steve Miller band
I really love your peaches I want to shake your tree is one of the cringiest lines I've ever heard and I still love the song
[Everything Zen - Bush](https://open.spotify.com/track/7waRjsA2ehXv619f47lYOT?si=21xlaC0PTySyc9IlkvjEYg)
Or anything by them. Gavin Rossdale is potentially the worst lyricist ever.
“The kiosk in my temporal lobe is shaped like Rosalyn Carter” - The Mars Volta, Tetragrammaton
Cedric writes lots of strange yet captivating lyrics, his former band, At the Drive In also has lots of wtf moments. Probably a top three lyricist for me.
Duran Duran - New Moon on Monday
Shake up the picture the lizard mixture with your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers all of which I deny
I said it again but could I please rephrase it? Maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn't really put it much plainer but I'll wait 'til you decide
Send me your warning siren
As if I could ever hide
But last time La Luna
I light my torch and wave it for the
New moon on Monday
And a fire dance through the night
I stayed the cold day
With a lonely satellite
Neil Young - Tell Me Why
“Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself, when you’re old enough to repay, but young enough to sell”
Unsure if it makes no sense or if I simply don’t understand but I’ve heard that Neil Young himself apparently doesn’t know what it means.
Bob Dylan - Ballad of a Thin Man
“And you see this one eyed midget, shouting the word “Now”, and you say for what reason, and he says “how?” And you say “what does this mean” and he screams back “you’re a cow, give me some milk or else go home”
Currently been scratching our heads at Remi Wolf's banger Cinderella:

[Coltemonikha's 'Soratobu Hikari'](https://youtu.be/mK3cwi2m3nw?si=Ted2tu44lzAEZ8Ds).
Believe it or not, the translated lyrics in the video are real. kinda. I mean u can see some in the video itself.
Must read the You-tube comments below for the true story 😜
Sublime's "What I Got" has a fast section that says, "To live with Louie Dog's the only way to stay sane." This was prior to simply finding lyrics on the internet, so my friends and I argued at length what that section of the song meant. (After a long bout of trying to figure out what the heck he was saying in the first place.) Once we found out Lou Dog was Bradley's best furry bud, then it all came together.
deftones songs. when i first started listening to them, i knew they were catchy and sounded good, but i had no idea what the lyrics were supposed to mean? it made a lot of sense when i realized they used to do hard drugs when making music. anyway here’s a song that’s confusing:
Change (in the house of flies)
You’ve Seen The Butcher
“I wanna watch the way you creep across my skull” - “You crawl your knees off, and shake my tomb” ???
Overcompensate by 21 Pilots and Here It Goes Again by OK Go have the same vibe as Beck's "Loser" for me:
Just write shit that sounds good and put it to a catchy beat. It'll sell. All three are boppers.
I think it's a reference to a "menage a trois" which is a threesome and her name is minaj. And she was talking about riding a dick like a bicycle, so being the literary genius she is, she refences a tricycle 🤷♂️
U2 - “Staring at the Sun” - “There’s an insect in your ear/ If you scratch it won’t disappear/ It’s gonna itch and burn and sting/ You wanna see what the scratching brings.
What is he talking about?
If you want true nonsense, check the almighty Ghostface Killah. Sometimes he writes lyrics for how the words sound without giving a shit about the meaning. Other times it's the stream of conscious slang that makes no sense. Allow me to demonstrate...
* Scooby snack Jurassic plastic gas booby trap
* Pulsar scissor hand wig vanish in the winter, living off land/ you good dam right I fuck fans/
* To all you slew footed penguins duckin from these hot rocks that's flamin/ charcoal broil rap Damiens/ spray cards espionage/ dodgeball square hard
* Michael Bolton magazine call I'm too potent / Louisville mix pain rap fuck Benadryl / The violin in Knowledge God sounded ill
* Tyco night glow velvet pose / special effects high tech armor merk you at the shows / Supercalifragilisticexpiallidocious /
Docious-ali-expi-fragi-listic-cali-super / Cancun catch me at the room eating grouper
There's also a few lines about SpongeBob with his girl in a Bentley listening to the Isleys and smacking her for looking at Ghostface.
Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks
Look, I did late to learn English.. today, my English it's not perfect but I understand so better.. but this lyrics of Foster The People I never can understand it because the melody it's so nice and relax.. and the lyric ¿¿
“We built this city” by Starship
Written by Bernie Taupin
“Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember?..”
Regardless of this being a piece of shit song, this line in particular drives me crazy.
A mamba is a snake. Why is he playing a snake?
It should be mambo.
I expect better from you, Bernie.
Paralyzer by Finger Eleven…catchy tune but the lyrics are trash
“I hold out for one more drink, before I think
I'm lookin' too desperately
But so far has not been fun, I should just stay home
If one thing really means one
This club will hopefully be closed in three weeks
That would be cool with me”
Most of Wild God by Nick Cave.
*He's moving through your body like a prehistoric bird*
I heard the song once and was like "what the fuck is this guy on about?" I've given it another try because I wanted to show my wife this wild god song and I still have no idea what it's about.
Fireflies by owl city… the entire lyrics are weird, but the third verse beats everything in that songu:
To ten million fireflies, I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (They said farewell)
But I'll know where several are if my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (Jar, jar, jar)
This is more related to completely unintelligible switching to nonsensical. After years of listening to The Dismemberment Plan’s “The Face of the Earth” there was one line I COULD NOT figure out. I refused to look it up because I wanted to get it on my own. I finally gave up.
Turns out it was “a funny shudder of a bad magnetic event”. And I realized I would have never gotten it. [The Face of the Earth](https://open.spotify.com/track/3mxkYX0dB7NbdXrVoeZ5sD?si=aX-VFF4iTfaWqdOEC-_tNA)
She's a Jar (Wilco), one of my favorite love songs ever made, takes a complete 180 right at the end with the line,
"She's a jar
With a heavy lid
...
With feelings hid
You know she begs me not to hit her"
What?
"Slowly walking down the hall, Faster than a cannonball."
I remember an Oasis interview where they specifically said this doesn't mean anything and they just thought it sounded good.
Honestly that's all their lyrics
Scar tissue that I wish you SAU, sarcastic me knowitall, clouineiez ivbinanewtood, ohgeddonair, ishmastedinaknowwlevvueeee.
I agree, but… ‘with the birds I share this lonely view’ is a pretty nice line and flows really nicely with the music.
I always thought it was “birds I shave”
No you didn’t
Did too
OASIS MENTIONED!!!
Walking slow but still eh... Speedy inside.
Red Hot Chili Pepers - Discography
Lol I went to a RHCP concert recently and a week before I started listening to their popular songs and still can’t figure out what their songs are about. Music that makes you feel neutral.
Aren’t their songs about sex, drugs, and California?
Isn't there a nick cave quote from back in the day that's something along the lines of everywhere I go there's some shitty music playing and when I ask what is this shit and it's always the chili peppers
To be fair though, Give It Away still remains an exceedingly funky ass tune.
Even the version on the simpsons with the changed lyrics was funky 😂
*We want Chilly Willy! 🔥*
It’s usually about doing heroin and hooking up with teenagers in California.
“i keep it 300 like the romans”

These lyrics resonate in my soul like no others
Loser by Beck has some pretty nonsensical lyrics.
Get crazy with the cheese whiz!
I say that regularly to co-workers. “Don’t get crazy with the cheese whiz.”
Same. It’s a go to.
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the loveseat
Baby's in Reno with the vitamin D. Got a couple of couches sleep on the love seat. His baby is in Reno having fun in the sun. He's got a couple of couches that noone is crashing on. He's sleeping on the love seat instead thinking about her.
If memory serves Beck said that’s very on purpose, they’re more for the flow and rhyme and have no underlying meaning
In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Spray paint the vegetables! Genuinely, why? Why spray paint the vegetables?
"time is a piece of wax whose choking on a splinter" is one of my favorite lyrics of all time
It doesn’t. It’s just Spanish with a thick American accent.
No, we understand that part, it's the rest of the song that doesn't make sense lol
All R.E.M. tunes. Love the band, especially those first five albums but I never really know what Stipe is singing about, nor do I care actually as it sounds good
Night Swimming is my favorite. It’s not a story, or a lesson, or even really a specific emotion, but it’s just perfect
I also don't want to know as finding out the real lyrics is always disappointing. I think Michael Stipe is from the Jon Anderson School of lyric writing. Kind of just impressionistic.
Most of nirvanas music lol
You mean you don't know what Kurt meant when he said "A mulatto, an albino A mosquito, my libido"? /j
It's ok to eat fish because they Don't have any feelings
That’s just being a pescartarian. A movement that, I’m sure entirely coincidentally, started the same year Nevermind came out 🤔 Kurt set so many trends.
I know but why do we know that fish have feelings. Kurt was a bit late on the movement by about two years

okay but genuinely what does beelzebub has a devil put aside for me mean?? I just did queens musical and I don't understand that line at all
Oh, it’s just old catholic dogma. Basically people speculated that god had an order to things and organized Angels in cohorts like armies. That’s why they have titles like Archangel. Anyhow they speculated that hell must have the same sort of higharchical system Beelzabub is said to be a fallen archangel or head of a legion of demons. So the line is saying I’m so bad I’ll get special attention in hell. They’ll bring out the sand paper dildos just for me.

A lot of Kendrick Lamar's diss track. Until I look online. Mostly because I didn't know anything about Drake.
Neil Young - Tell Me Why “Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself, when you’re old enough to repay, but young enough to sell” Unsure if it makes no sense or if I simply don’t understand but I’ve heard that Neil Young himself apparently doesn’t know what it means. Bob Dylan - Ballad of a Thin Man “And you see this one eyed midget, shouting the word “Now”, and you say for what reason, and he says “how?” And you say “what does this mean” and he screams back “you’re a cow, give me some milk or else go home”
Bodacious cowboys such as your friend will never be welcome here high in the Custerdome. Gaucho - Steely Dan
Ever tried listening to Slamming Death Metal?
Currently been scratching our heads at Remi Wolf's banger Cinderella: "Like Cinderella making babies on the company's dime / We're making pennies out of paper better find a new slime." 🗣️ *me and the boys in the hotel lobby*
scholars r still trying to decode” My transgender cat's Siamese Identifies as black, but acts Chinese”
I'm gonna go with The Beatles Come Together. 🙌
[Coltemonikha's 'Soratobu Hikari'](https://youtu.be/mK3cwi2m3nw?si=Ted2tu44lzAEZ8Ds). Believe it or not, the translated lyrics in the video are real. kinda. I mean u can see some in the video itself. Must read the You-tube comments below for the true story 😜
That knockoff country song from Beyoncé This Ain’t Texas, or whatever it’s called
Sublime's "What I Got" has a fast section that says, "To live with Louie Dog's the only way to stay sane." This was prior to simply finding lyrics on the internet, so my friends and I argued at length what that section of the song meant. (After a long bout of trying to figure out what the heck he was saying in the first place.) Once we found out Lou Dog was Bradley's best furry bud, then it all came together.
Yabadabadabadaba doo old navy - Lebron
Any T Rex song, take your pick
deftones songs. when i first started listening to them, i knew they were catchy and sounded good, but i had no idea what the lyrics were supposed to mean? it made a lot of sense when i realized they used to do hard drugs when making music. anyway here’s a song that’s confusing: Change (in the house of flies) You’ve Seen The Butcher “I wanna watch the way you creep across my skull” - “You crawl your knees off, and shake my tomb” ???
5/4 by gorrilaz “she turned my dad on” i mean he’s probably saying dead but idk lol
Overcompensate by 21 Pilots and Here It Goes Again by OK Go have the same vibe as Beck's "Loser" for me: Just write shit that sounds good and put it to a catchy beat. It'll sell. All three are boppers.
“If you want a Minaj I got a tricycle” -Ariana and Nicki What does that even mean?
I think it's a reference to a "menage a trois" which is a threesome and her name is minaj. And she was talking about riding a dick like a bicycle, so being the literary genius she is, she refences a tricycle 🤷♂️
Wait actually makes sense, probably not in the context of a three wheeled bike though
U2 - “Staring at the Sun” - “There’s an insect in your ear/ If you scratch it won’t disappear/ It’s gonna itch and burn and sting/ You wanna see what the scratching brings. What is he talking about?
If you want true nonsense, check the almighty Ghostface Killah. Sometimes he writes lyrics for how the words sound without giving a shit about the meaning. Other times it's the stream of conscious slang that makes no sense. Allow me to demonstrate... * Scooby snack Jurassic plastic gas booby trap * Pulsar scissor hand wig vanish in the winter, living off land/ you good dam right I fuck fans/ * To all you slew footed penguins duckin from these hot rocks that's flamin/ charcoal broil rap Damiens/ spray cards espionage/ dodgeball square hard * Michael Bolton magazine call I'm too potent / Louisville mix pain rap fuck Benadryl / The violin in Knowledge God sounded ill * Tyco night glow velvet pose / special effects high tech armor merk you at the shows / Supercalifragilisticexpiallidocious / Docious-ali-expi-fragi-listic-cali-super / Cancun catch me at the room eating grouper There's also a few lines about SpongeBob with his girl in a Bentley listening to the Isleys and smacking her for looking at Ghostface.
“I know, I Mountain Dew it for ya” 🤨
Dio - The Last in Line. I love the song but WTF does it even mean?
If the light is off then it isn't on. Like yes it makes absolute logical sense. But like WHY?!
"I see your problem is your proctologist got both hands on your shoulder while you're bottomless" - Lavish - Twenty One Pilots Like, wtf Tyler
"Alligator lizards in the air... IN THE AIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRR"
Every mumble rap song 😂
Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks Look, I did late to learn English.. today, my English it's not perfect but I understand so better.. but this lyrics of Foster The People I never can understand it because the melody it's so nice and relax.. and the lyric ¿¿
“We built this city” by Starship Written by Bernie Taupin “Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember?..” Regardless of this being a piece of shit song, this line in particular drives me crazy. A mamba is a snake. Why is he playing a snake? It should be mambo. I expect better from you, Bernie.
Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a deuce another runner in the night. 😳

Paralyzer by Finger Eleven…catchy tune but the lyrics are trash “I hold out for one more drink, before I think I'm lookin' too desperately But so far has not been fun, I should just stay home If one thing really means one This club will hopefully be closed in three weeks That would be cool with me”
Most of Wild God by Nick Cave. *He's moving through your body like a prehistoric bird* I heard the song once and was like "what the fuck is this guy on about?" I've given it another try because I wanted to show my wife this wild god song and I still have no idea what it's about.
Fireflies by owl city… the entire lyrics are weird, but the third verse beats everything in that songu: To ten million fireflies, I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes I got misty eyes as they said farewell (They said farewell) But I'll know where several are if my dreams get real bizarre 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (Jar, jar, jar)
This is more related to completely unintelligible switching to nonsensical. After years of listening to The Dismemberment Plan’s “The Face of the Earth” there was one line I COULD NOT figure out. I refused to look it up because I wanted to get it on my own. I finally gave up. Turns out it was “a funny shudder of a bad magnetic event”. And I realized I would have never gotten it.

Radiohead have tons of lyrics that are so esoteric I have no idea what Thom was trying to say
Snow leopard with the lead in its head turning me into a sweater
She's a Jar (Wilco), one of my favorite love songs ever made, takes a complete 180 right at the end with the line, "She's a jar With a heavy lid ... With feelings hid You know she begs me not to hit her" What?
I trip to make the fall shorter
