Review about Come out and play (keep'm separated) hello =] | Reviewer: Erica lynn =] | 10/11/09 um..i know people like to dissect the deeper meaning of a song to get the full impact of the artists emotions and i can understand why a person would want to do that its all good that people love things like that..but when you sit back and think every single person has their own opinions about everything nobody is exactly the same so instead of saying oh ur stoopid cuz u think this song is about racism or gang violence how bout you say something along the lines of oh okie i respect your opinion you make a valid point but here take a look at what i think... thats why i strongly dislike people who are arrogant and think the world revolves around them ..well anyway sorry i pretty much just wrote a book but i really wish people would understand to value every person n stuff love you all =] have a good life to the guy who posted on the 13th | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/30/09 Its not about keeping races separated its talking about keeping the gangs separated. "If one guy's colors and the other's don't mix" is referencing the gang colors not race. And its not saying to do something before your eighteen its talking about the gangs committing murder when their under eighteen so their punishment wont be as harsh. . | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/22/09 To the guy who posted on the 2nd: Actually, the guy below you is correct. He didn't say the song was not about gang violence, which it is partially. But his lyrics deciphering is correct, aside from one part. When Dexter says "One guys wasted..." he's reffering to a guy being dead, or "wasted." Thank you sir. people are ignorant | Reviewer: boudijan | 3/20/09 To the person below me. When you see a post on the internet and don't necessarily agree with it or believe it might be inaccurate or what have you, try acting like a big boy (or girl) and instead of simply demeaning and degrading the person and making yourself look like a complete arrogant, pompous fuckface, simply tell them what the deal actually is. Again, you're a douche. Love, Boudijan Yeah, okay | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/16/09 To the person below me, you have no idea what your talking about. This song is about gang violence. Its pretty clear. Next time you analyze song lyrics, look at the whole picture and think a step further. Best Song EVER | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/2/09 To those people who dont understand what this song means, they made it pretty clear. When the song says "like the latest fashion, like a spreading disease", its saying that the prejudiced trends mentioned in the song were catching on rapidly. Its just like a latest fashion or spreading disease in that sense. When the song says "By the time you here the siren, its already too late" Its saying that once the cops arrive the fight's already over / some1 died. Which leads to the next line "One goes to the morgue and the other to jail..." (A morgue is a place you go when you die for those who didnt know) Saying one person dies in the fight and the other goes to the slammer. The next part of the line was "one guys wasted and the other's a waste" this is saying one guy is high on watever and the other is worthless. Id finish but i hav to go to sleep now. U other 2 guys who helped explain explained it pretty well. :) Offspring = awesome | Reviewer: Dylan | 10/3/08 I love the awesome. I've listened to them since I was like 5 and I didn't get the meanings to their songs but I loved the sound of a guitar and their drummer is amazing. Now I look back at all of their music and almost all of it has a meaning reflecting society. This one being the gang affiliation of kids today and murders at school. And to the guy below me the song says "if you're under 18 you won't be doing any time" its supposed to be what children think when they commit a crime, like if someone under 18 commits a crime they won't go to jail. The Offspring thought this was no way to run things, so they wrote a song about it. observations | Reviewer: musiclover | 11/23/07 LUV this song, it seems to be at one time a reenactment of the hyperactive, thoughtless rage that permeates the gang-subculture, and at the same time, it is preaching against it. It is talking about how the most trivial things can provoke gang murder, and their is a callous rationale behind it that since you have not reached 18 yet, your punishment will not be too severe - so work the system. It is also talking about how this culture is motivated by feelings of false power. "Man you disrespecting me? Take him out." In a way, it is like an anthem to the irony of a subculture that at one moment is raging against "the system and the man" and at the same time, operates with the same self-serving, inhuman agenda. what is this song actually about? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/13/07 I heard it was about keeping people from different racial back grounds away from each other, or they would kill each other, and if you had a problem with it do something before your 18? or something along those lines? oh!! My God!!!!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/27/07 i really like them!!!!! they're a greatest hits!!! i love it Review By Pages: 1 2 Review the song Come out and play (keep'm separated) The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
