Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Josh Average	#1 by Josh at Jul 12, 1974 at 1:43 PM EST
	yeah...it's about how stupid and shallow people are and how you can talk to someone and its just a retarded conversation that is going nowhere and its just making the world even more fucked up then it already is...

No Picture Justin Average	#2 by Justin Ruiz at Sep 28, 1977 at 9:28 AM EST
	I think 'Dirty Walls' might refer to the old expression 'If these walls could only speak' or however it goes.

No Picture jessie Wanna Be	#3 by jessie sinanan at May 10, 1987 at 9:55 PM EST
	the "walls" represent, to me at least, the realtionship you have with someone. a "dirty wall" is talking about the problems with someone that are in your face, like the "elephant in the livingroom" thing.

No Picture NIK Average	#4 by NIK blaszczyszyn at Mar 13, 1988 at 11:02 PM EST
	Definately one of the more straightforward songs OLP wrote back in the day. I think you guys hit the nail on the head, obviously. I'd like clarification on the title/chorus though. Dirty Walls? Great song.

No Picture Dan Average	#5 by Dan Johnson at Jan 4, 1997 at 5:44 AM EST
	Yeah, it seems to be saying that the walls are dirty because of all the horrible things that are said in shallow conversation. Same thing with the line about all he sees is mud.

No Picture SLIPKNOT FUCING Rhythm Player	#6 by SLIPKNOT FUCING RULES!!!! v at Jun 2, 2004 at 3:30 AM EST
	The way I see it, it's talking about people that you try to talk to, but are really shallow and can't think deeper than a puddle and how it's so much easier just to throw out the "shallow words" rather than thinking and absorbing things around you.... I dunno, that's what I gather from it.
