He was a boy, she was a girl Can I make it any more obvious? quote:Avril opens up the song by strongly introducing, and implying the love between her two main characters. Sorry, girl, but you missed out Well, tough luck, that boy's mine now We are more than just good friends This is how the story ends quote:This was a “major plot twist” moment back in the 2000s, as it was more common for singers to sing about themselves in the third person. Avril manages to deliver two thirds of the song under the radar as a song about herself. I'll be backstage after the show quote:After show back stage meetings are commonly attributed to groupies.

Whenever I hear a love song, I invariably have to write a thesis on how it is extremely problematic because it didn't cover all possible combinations of sexual preferences.

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name it was good to get out of the rain. On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life quote:There are two mutually exclusive interpretations of these lines, both of which are endorsed by the band—a real or metaphoric voyage in the desert. There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds quote:Desert Rings or Fairy Circles are sometimes built by sand termites, but there is no consensus on the exact cause of their formation. The fly is a symbol of pestilence historically associated with Satan. This recasts going into the desert as not only a literal trip, but also a spiritual journey like the Temptation of Christ, where Satan tempted Jesus as he wandered alone for 40 days and 40 nights. The narrator knows his mettle will be tested spiritually as he braves the elements. Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain. quote:Writer Dewey Bunnell took credit and the blame for the grammar in this line: La, la, la lala la la la, la, la quote:The group’s delivery here had made many believe that the song was inspired, or even written by Canadian icon Neil Young. In fact, the song was later nicknamed, “A horse with No Neil.”

I used to see you every day I used to see you every day quote:The beginning lyrics ambiguously describe a relationship that has recently become more unfamiliar. The repetition of the first line could suggest that the character describing the relationship feels an air of boredom or monotony towards the regularity and intesity of their meetings with this person. However, the repetition also has an implication of wistfulness, that could link to a regret the character carries about things not being the way they used to be. I danced around your folk and soul I danced to all your loving soul quote:This seems to be a bitter stab at how the character was made to feel and act in this relationship. I left you with your nose a bleedin' And your toes a creepin' around quote:This has connotations of the lovers use of cocaine. “Toes a creepin' around” counjours up images of someone very high or possibly even having a fit after taking cocaine. Ahhh so mundane and incomplete Hand my down my pants And get me off this street [Chorus] I'm passed out in your garden I'm in, I can't get off Soft So I'd pop myself in your body I'd come into your party, but I'm soft [Verse 2] Behind the fringe of a whiskey high Mutiliating cat-like eyes And in your nose blood, decadence quote:This annotation is unreviewed

quote:After show back stage meetings are commonly attributed to groupies. How DARE THEY imply that Avril is a mere groupie??? She clearly wrote the song WITH the skater boy about a girl they used to know. For shame "genius".com, for shame. They're still totally gonna bone down though. Can she make it any more obvious?

quote:He was a boy, she was a girl From the very beginning, God implies the expansion of His own community. He says, "Let Us," indicating a community already exists. Man was made, physically, in God's image, and he begins with characteristics of shape and form in common with his Maker. The rest of the Bible fills in the details of how mankind is being brought from having not only form and shape in common with his Maker, but also character, so that he fits perfectly into the community that the Maker is expanding. quote:Sorry, girl, but you missed out Genesis 3:13 adds, “And the LORD God said to the woman, 'What is this you have done?' The woman said, 'The serpent deceived me, and I ate.'” Thus, from what Jesus says in John 8:44 regarding Satan's part in this episode, we find that God held Satan guilty of murder. His weapon was the deceit that encouraged her to commit sin. She did not completely overlook her respect for God but discounted it enough to give into Satan's persuasion. She did this on the strength of her desire, fueled by her lust for the pleasure of eating the forbidden fruit—but even more so to fulfill her desire to become wise. Then, Adam, though not deceived as Eve was, also discounted God's counsel in order to make sure he did not displease Eve. He was guilty of idolatry. quote:I'll be backstage after the show God did not intervene to stop either Satan or Adam and Eve from following their desires. Adam and Eve had a test to pass. They failed, as have all their progeny. Only Christ has succeeded. Unless one is converted and under Christ's blood, Satan continues to hold this power even to this day. But we are not defenseless; we have Christ to help us in this battle.

Dixville posted:How DARE THEY imply that Avril is a mere groupie??? She clearly wrote the song WITH the skater boy about a girl they used to know. For shame "genius".com, for shame. Furthermore, she describes the song as "about a girl you used to know", not "a girl we used to know". She herself never knew the girl, and yet genius.com characterizes her as one of the girl's friends who turned up their noses at the boy — and in doing so recharacterizes their snobbery as an elaborate ruse to steal the boy. It's Avril Lavigne, the lyrics aren't complicated! The way genius acts like they're saying something else gets me frustrated.

Woo hoo! Woo hoo! Woo hoo! Woo hoo! quote:Blur opens Song 2, the high point of the Song trilogy, with the main theme. They immediately start off at full strength, letting us join in on how enjoyable it can be to play guitar while yelling "Woo hoo!" followed by mumbling things. I feel this speaks directly to the human condition, the peaks and valleys of intense emotion. Argyle Gargoyle fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Nov 29, 2023 |

I think a lot of it might be deleted now, but the lead singer from everything everything started replying to a bunch of annotations with 'no, this is wrong, totally off base. This is what I meant when I wrote it'
