Here's one that's not really well known. (But I wish it was!) It's a beautiful song, with truly beautiful and meaningful lyrics.
Retrovertigo (from Mr. Bungle's California Words and Music by Trevor Dunn) Before you advertise All the fame is implied With no fortune unseen Sell the rights To your blight Time-machine While I'm dulled by excess And a cynic at best My art imitates crime Paid for by The allies So invest Now I'm finding truth is a ruin Nauseous end that nobody is pursuing Staring into glassy eyes Mesmerized There's a vintage thirst returning But I'm sheltered by my channel-surfing Every famine virtual Retrovertigo A tribute to false memories With conviction Cheap imitation Is it fashion or disease? Post-ironic Remains a mouth to feed Sell the rights To your blight And you'll eat Now I'm finding truth is a ruin Nauseous end that nobody is pursuing Staring into glassy eyes Mesmerized See the vintage robot wearied Then awakened by revision theories Every famine virtual Retrovertigo |

I totally understood that, but the word I didn't understand was retrovergo, what's it mean? Very meaningful lyrics though.

Vertigo is dizziness or nausea from dizziness, just so you know. Yay! It's an intelligent song!

Yay!
 I think the fella who wrote the song made up the word. A sort of dizziness from thinking back... I wonder what came first, the title or the subject of the song... hmmm. |

This song is one of the deepest I know of. Very thought over yet again, not too much.
The reality is so there and I just don't know what to think about it. One of my favorites -lovely |

My Favorite Song Lyrics I love this song and it really evokes strong emotion for me. I can't understand why this never got airplay. This is one of the most straightforward of all Bungle songs. Seriously it should be in those top 50 songs of all time lists. To me this is everything a true rock ballad should be. I'd like to see this performed on American Idol. -Christine |
