I took everything you said
Harder than we should
Are we wanting more
Than to try to sell you out
Are you one

he's trying to say we can't
Yes I can
And you can't have all that you want
Yes I can
And when your wrong I'm still not right

sign it off
And throw it back against the wall
You asked me how
And what if I resent you now
And what if I can't trust
In anything you say

you're trying to say we can't
Yes I can
You can't have all that you want
Yes I can
And when your wrong I'm still not right

let's start again
Replace it
Let's start again
Erase it
So move along and face it

you trying to say we can't
Yes I can
You can't have all that you want
Yes I can
And when your wrong I'm still not right

    the title may be inspired by lost, but i have trouble seeing how the song itself is about lost. in the booklet kenny said every song meant something, and unless they were really into lost i don't see why they'd write a song about it. but who knows?

    No, i highly doubt that the song's about Lost. But i don't think the title's totally random either. It just basically encompasses the 'Yes I can' attitude that Locke has.

    damnit it didn't post the whole thing

    eh, i don't think the title's totally random. It just basically encompasses the 'Yes I can' attitude that Locke has.

    "what if i resent you now, what if i can't trust in anything you said" .... I mean c'mon, Locke's dad conned him and took his liver. I would resent that.

    "Let's start again, erase it. Let's start again, replace it. Start moving on and face it." .... Like Locke told Shannon/Boone, the island's a chance to start over. Everyone gets a new life.

    And yes, i have thought about this too much, but it's one of my favorite bands and my favorite tv show.. it rocks!! haha

    the moneen boys loooove lost. so i'm sure they got a bit of inspiration from it, but it's not about the show per se.

    I'd say Jellybrick has the right idea. The Moneen guys are probably writing about Lockes relationship in general and how he cant let go of the past and trust people anymore. I'm sure the guys in moneen have the same problems, cause i know i do, and most people do. oh yeah, AMAZING tv show, and awesome new cd, just got it

    locke is a philosopher for crying out loud this song has nothing to do with lost.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Album art
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Album art
Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
