Meanings and backgrounds of DMB songs

Unread post by dbapollo » Sun Sep 05, 2004 8:40 am

I just got curious after i saw the post about the meanings of warehouse and grey street.

If there's any other song(s) that you know where they were based, by all means please post.

If you wanna post your own interpretations of their songs, then pls post.

Generally, I believe a lot of Dave's songs are about America.

i think Seek up is about the problems in the world, and how we as americans take them for granted, and do little to help them...

I Did It is about doing something and admitting it.

Crash is about a crazy man stalking a hot woman. I.e
" Hack up your skirt a little more, show your world to me"

Also, Dont drink the water is about, the Indians and Pilgrams. ( Check out VH1 storytellers) How the pilgrams just invaded the Indians.
" Not room for both, just room for me" Very clever lyrics.

To quote Dave " Crush is about the fun part of love, and the worship of women, particularly my girlfriend" So there you have it.
Ricky Bobby: 98% of people will die sometime in their lives.

Jimi Thing seems like it could mean a lot of things. Like, childbirth. Dave is the baby, and he's telling his story of being born and what it was like for him.

Just listen to/read the lyrics. It'll make a sick, weird sense.
