It is an inescapable rule of music: you’ll spend a good portion of your life singing the words in a song you like a lot, without even wondering what it means, until one day you have the urge to know what exactly ‘Orange Crush’ means, what ‘the devil’s haircut’ stands for, and what’s with the symbols in ‘She’s a Rainbow’. If you’re experiencing such a rough patch right now, suffer no more and visit this site, where you’ll find partial collections of songs by top rock and pop bands and performers, and the lyrics rated and discussed.
LyricInterpretations.com presents the interpretations that its users submit, so note that the interpretations differ a lot in tone and seriousness, and also in plausibility, though the vast majority will explain in some 500 words what the major symbols in the wording are, and draw a conclusion; some interpretations are, to say it charitably, farfetched, and most of them don’t provide any form of evidence to support their claims, but that’s part of its charm, as the community of readers joins to discuss what the song means for them, provide links to interviews with the writer or performer of the song, or altogether crush the interpretation and present a new one. Precisely because the process is so open and participative, not only people wanting to know about the meaning of lyrics will find it useful, as it is quite clear that social scientists and anthropologists concerned about pop culture will have a field day taking a look at the LyricInterpretations.com.
