Songs That Mention a Boasting
George Thorogood's, "Bad to the Bone"
The Boasting Lyrics:
I broke a thousand hearts, before I met you
I'll break a thousand more baby, before I am through
And
I make a rich woman beg, I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young woman squeal
I'll break a thousand more baby, before I am through
And
I make a rich woman beg, I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young woman squeal
Comments:
These are the lyrics he's using to try to win the love of a woman. I just don't think she's going to be too impressed by his boasting of past conquests or believe that he wants to be only hers and hers alone.

Dirty Song You Didn't Know Is Dirty
Katy Perry's, "Waking Up In Vegas"
The dirty Lyrics:
Shake the glitter off your clothes now
Why They're dirty:
"Glitter" is a slang word for semen. The song is about Las Vegas, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone had "glitter" on their clothes. Of course, it could just mean glitter, the sparkly dots, too.

Nonsensical Song Lyrics
Harry Nilsson's, "Me And My Arrow"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Wherever we go, everyone knows It's me and my arrow.
Why They're Nonsensical:
First of all, it should be 'My Arrow And Me.' It is not correct English to say 'Me And My Arrow.' Second of all, when Harry Nilsson mentions himself and his arrow, it makes him sound like the arrow is his girlfriend. That doesn't make any sense, I mean an arrow is not a person; an arrow is something that's used to point to something or give directions.

Insincere Song Lyrics
Alkaline Trio's, "All On Black"
The Insincere Lyrics:
RE: "Whats upside down was coated in silver? This crucifix is my four leaf clover"
Why They're Insincere:
This lyrics is absolutely not INsincere - he means every word. It is very Satanic - Matt Skiba and Derek Grant are both well-known members of the Church of Satan, and Dan Andriano is "comfortably" associated with the religion as well. If you pay close enough attention, many Alkaline Trio lyrics are Satanic....Satanism isn't "freakish" at all - try reading up on it yourself before passing judgment.

There ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
And there ain't nothin' in this world for free
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
And there ain't nothin' in this world for free
Why:
1) "Ain't no" and "ain't nothin'" are double negatives. 2) It should be "Money DOESN'T grow on trees."

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics
Armor For Sleep's, "Vanished"
The Lyrics:
Kids at play
underneath the light of day
there's something in the way they look
they're never gonna expect whats in store for them
Kids at play
Soaking up the light of day
Grab you're toys and run away
It's never gonna be what you've always dreamed about
I watched you change from spring to winter
I watched the sun drop out of the sky like it never was there
underneath the light of day
there's something in the way they look
they're never gonna expect whats in store for them
Kids at play
Soaking up the light of day
Grab you're toys and run away
It's never gonna be what you've always dreamed about
I watched you change from spring to winter
I watched the sun drop out of the sky like it never was there
Why:
these parts of the song seem like they're about kids being ubducted or something, and it's quite upbeat
