1. - Wax was the union of veteran musicians Andrew Gold and Graham Gouldman, which produced several albums in the 1980s. Gold, the son of Academy Award-winning composer Ernest Gold and Marni Nixon (who had handled the singing for, among others, Natalie Wood in West Side Story), had been a member of Linda Ronstadt's band and found success as a solo artist and songwriter in the '70s. Gouldman had been a solo artist as well as a member of Hotlegs and 10cc.
In 1986, Wax released their debut, Magnetic Heaven, which spent nearly three months on the U.S. album charts, spawning the hit "Right Between the Eyes," which just failed to reach the Top 40, peaking at number 43. Two more albums by the duo followed, 1987's American English, which contained the successful European single "Bridge to Your Heart," and 1989's A Hundred Thousand in Fresh Notes. The latter two records failed to achieve sales of the debut and, by the beginning of the '90s, both Gold and Gouldman had moved on to other efforts; the former, in the singer/songwriter collaboration Bryndle; the latter, participating in a reunion with his 10cc mates.
2. - Wax is an American rapper/singer. He was one of the first "YouTube rappers", posting various songs and freestyles on the website since 2007. In 2008, he released Liquid Courage, his debut solo full-length album. He signed to Def Jam Records on March 2011, releasing his album "Scrublife" under the label, before parting ways with Def Jam in August 2012 due to creative differences. In early 2013, he released a new album "Continue"; in late 2015, he released "Livin' Foul", another studio album. His YouTube channel has over 99 million views (as of Oct. 30, 2018). He has frequently collaborated with other West Coast artists such as Dumbfoundead,Anderson .Paak, and Watsky. He has
also recorded music as part of the groups Wax and EOM, Clockwise and Wax and Herbal T, and was the lead singer of band Macgregor.
3. - Wax is a rock band based in San José, California. They are best known for the MTV "buzz clip" song, and the videoclip of their song "California," directed by Spike Jonze. The band contributed a cover of Ren & Stimpy's "Happy Happy, Joy Joy" for the compilation Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits and their song "Mallrats" was included in the soundtrack for the Kevin Smith film Mallrats. In the 1996 movie Bio-Dome, the band can be seen performing "He´s a Whore", "Do You Wanna Dance?", and "Your Intelligence". Loomis Fall went on to appear on Jackass the TV series and both Jackass films. The band reunited in July of 2009.

HE SAID SHE SAID
Wax Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When pain goes hand in hand
You always play the bad guy
She the sacrificial lamb
Feel as vulnerable as a woman
And she takes it like a man
Listen what he said she said
He said she said
Push and pull up and down
Back and forth on the merry go round
And on and on it goes till someone throws it away
You'll pay for your admission
When you find you're losing ground
So you fight for your position
But nobody's backing down
You thought you'd spoken clearly
But she reads between the lines
Listen what he said she said
He said she said
Push and pull up and down
Back and forth on the merry go round
And on and on it goes till someone throws it away
Why can't we agree to be more tender
Surrender mmm - mmm
If two people care it should be easy happy
Why can't we be?
He said she said
You'll try to make the best of it
While looking in her eyes
'Til you find yourself in trouble
And you learn to compromise
But still somehow you just keep thinkin'
That she hurt your foolish pride
Listen what he said she said
He said she said
The lyrics of Wax's song "He Said She Said" venture into the complexities of relationships and the misunderstandings that can arise between partners. The song highlights how pain and vulnerability are no strangers to relationships, but the way they are dealt with can often lead to unnecessary conflicts. The opening lines suggest that the pain and blame are not misunderstood, as it's clear who plays the villain and who plays the victim. The symbol of playing the villain and the sacrificial lamb infers that the relationship may have well-defined roles, and when things go wrong, each partner knows their assigned part.
The lyrics then delve into the dynamics of push and pull that define many relationships. The ups and downs of life together can create a merry-go-round of emotions, but in the end, someone throws it away, highlighting that the cycle of disagreements ends with a breakup or separation. The lyrics suggest that every partner pays a price in the relationship, and fighting for position can lead to a loss of ground. The communication breakdowns are also highlighted, with one partner speaking clearly, but the other reading between the lines.
The chorus asks why partners can't agree and be more tender with each other, surrendering to love, and making it easy and happy. The final lines suggest that partners may try to make the best of things, compromise, but deep down, foolish pride can get in the way.
Line by Line Meaning
It's no misunderstanding
It's a clear fact, not a misunderstanding
When pain goes hand in hand
Pain is always present together with the situation
You always play the bad guy
In every argument, you always end up being the bad guy
She the sacrificial lamb
She always ends up sacrificing herself even when it's not fair
Feel as vulnerable as a woman
Feel vulnerable and helpless, just like a woman in a typical male dominance situation
And she takes it like a man
She manages to handle the situation bravely and strongly even though it's hard
Push and pull up and down
It's a constant struggle; it's like going through ups and downs in a relationship
Back and forth on the merry go round
It's like going round and round in circles, never-ending
And on and on it goes till someone throws it away
The cycle will continue endlessly unless someone stops it
You'll pay for your admission
You're going to pay for your mistakes
When you find you're losing ground
When you realize that you're not winning the argument anymore
So you fight for your position
You'll do everything you can to keep your position
But nobody's backing down
But neither one of you is compromising
You thought you'd spoken clearly
You're thinking that you've said everything clearly
But she reads between the lines
But she's able to understand the meanings behind your words
Why can't we agree to be more tender
Why can't we show more kindness and gentleness towards each other?
Surrender mmm - mmm
Let's just surrender and give up on this argument
If two people care it should be easy happy
If two people care for each other, being happy should be an easy thing to do
Why can't we be?
Why can't we just be happy and agree with each other?
You'll try to make the best of it
You'll try to make the most out of the situation
While looking in her eyes
While looking at her, trying to understand her
'Til you find yourself in trouble
Until you realize that you're in a difficult situation
And you learn to compromise
And you learn to find a middle ground and agree on things
But still somehow you just keep thinkin'
But you can't help but keep thinking about it
That she hurt your foolish pride
That she has hurt your ego and pride, making it even harder to compromise
Listen what he said she said
Listen to both sides of the argument
He said she said
Both sides of the argument
