A website that decodes the lyrics to music/poetry line by line. Fucking awesome. It was Rap Genius originally so they have the largest database with them. I love going and seeing how these seemingly meaningless songs are actually riddled with double entendres or hidden meanings. They just opened up Rock Genius which I've been asking for quite a while now (pretty sure I made a thread about it on here awhile back). It would be awesome if 311 did a collaboration with them as many official artists work with this website.

Re: Rap/Rock/Poetry/ Genius
I imagine that there are some cool finds on the site, don't get me wrong, but it's kinda funny when every little line is dissected...
"We've come too far
To give up who we are"
"We've come too far
To give up who we are"
ORLY"Basically, Pharrell is alluding to Daft Punk’s, Nile’s, and his very own extensive career. They’ve worked too hard for too long to be anything but themselves and that’s what they are in this song."
Re: Rap/Rock/Poetry/ Genius
The people doing this are probably really tongue-in-cheek about it though. This is really funny/awesome:
Note the change from “I” to “we” — Pharrell is becoming more inclusive in his diction as he prepares for sex
