    ------ About the song Gone Away performed by Offspring

A long time friend of the family's. Passed away a few
Days ago he was 39 and he just like an uncleto me
He told his dad and 2 brothers that he did not feel
Good and the net morning he did not get up for
Work and when they tryed to wake him he was
Already gone

    ------ About the song Gotta Get Away performed by Offspring

It's difficult to grasp these concepts if you haven't experienced paranoia and depression yourself. The lines
"If you reason, don't you know
Your own preoccupation is where you'll go"
are an indication of the way people strive to prove their prefabricated theories using reason. Arguments supporting any thesis can be made in everyday experience, including paranoid ones. If you believe you're bad you'll use reason to support it, you being bad being an axiom to support the arguments you make about your life. Nobody experiences true reality, our interpretation of it is entirely subjective.

Drugs and low self esteem are often correlated. Which causes the other isn't clear. Guilt, paranoia and mental distress leads to drug use as much as drug use leads to these problems. Drugs distance us further from reality but this effect is temporary and artificial compared to the distancing caused by mental distress after traumatic events. Drugs are but a means to escape the warped, unbearable reality of a suffering soul.

    ------ About the song Pretty Fly performed by Offspring

Hello all, this is a great song indeed!
However the nonsense intro refrain is different from what written above, it's "Gunter glieben glauchen globen" and it's a referee to Def Leppard (see wikipedia for more info). Otherwise great lyrics as always ^^

    ------ About the song All I Want performed by Offspring

I just love this band to bits! I've started to listen to the Offspring since 14. And now at my 20 I still listen to it. Their songs give so much energy! And this song is absolutely awesome.

    ------ About the song Spare Me the Details performed by Offspring

Cheating on your significant other is one of the worst things you can do to someone and you end up hurting yourself too because you accumulate bad karma. Cheating has nothing to do with gender btw. A woman who cheats is just as bad as a man who does it. It is inexcusable in an exclusive relationship.
I honour this song. It really sums up a guy's (and girl's) feelings when the other person cheats. Cheating can destroy relationships. Trust becomes an huge issue for the person who was cheated on. And cheaters don't stop at one person. They take an inch, take a mile!

    ------ About the song Gone Away performed by Offspring

I lost my 26 year old son on 5/29/10. He lost his life doing what he loved, riding his motorcycle. We used to listen to offspring together and everytime I hear any offspring song I smile remembering the good times. "Gone Away" touches my heart. I'm so sorry for all of your losses. My Joel lives on...

I feel everyone's pain.My Sister passed away in 1994, every time I heard gone away, I thought of her and of course cried. Feb 21, 2011 her Daughter, my Niece was killed tragically. Sitting at a stop light while some idiot decides to drive 110+ up a ramp and tells his passenger that he isn't afraid to die... He survived my Niece didn't..The evening of her visitation as we were entered the parking lot of the funeral home. Gone away came on I instantly cried. I was numb. but I knew that was a sign from my Sister and Niece to say we're okay... Now it's time to be her and her 2 babies Voice, and make sure this murderer is off the streets.. God bless you all and thank you all for sharing your stories.
