"This is SO my favorite song by her (I am a man being my 2nd), and YES, I STRONGLY feel that the lyrics are honest and straight forward as stating what true love really IS. I often use it as an example when explaining how I approach love, including..." (view)

"I don't appreciate it being insinuated I'm selfish, wolfnrose. I'm not at all, my partner can tell you this so don't lump me in the same category with your ex. That's just rude and presumptuous. Relationships SHOULD be about equality and loving the other in return, it's not got anything..." (view)

"Patti dedicated this song to women such as Jeanne Hébuterne, mistress of the artist Amedeo Modigliani. She commited suicide when he died, so the idea of being completely taken over by love for one person would make sense." (view)

"Wtf. xD" (view)

"Most of the time, yes this is true. This time, however, 'Poison Oak' obviously refers to Collin McElroy, Conor's cousin who battled meth addiction and who commited suicide in his parents' house aged 24. You can do the research and I think I read somewhere that Conor and Ian McElroy..." (view)

"Hey, wait a minute. I'm a guy and I do all the work with my girl. Something is wrong here... Great song!" (view)

"Personally I think this song is about a woman who has a really great man - kind, caring, mature, smart &c. However he isn't very good in bed and the woman blows this out of proportion calling him mean when in fact she's already called him nice and trying to..." (view)

"I think the idea that it could be about Emily's father, Paul Haines, is a good one. For one, the cover art for 'Knives Don't Have Your Back' is based on that for Paul Haines' opera 'Escalator Over The Hill' so it's obvious that despite the fact he died 3..." (view)

"I have to say i felt the same way about this song when i first heard it but after analysing it deeper, like all damien rice songs there were hidden meanings. The words he uses are a little strong i agree, but lets face it, who can make swear words..." (view)

"Is it just me who thinks it's not as simple as people are saying? For me there is this slight air of cynicism, like 'You can do all these things that might hurt me and I'll just deal with it.'. Almost as in WHY would someone do that and the..." (view)

"Damien explained this song a little at his Sao Paulo show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpRYS3nQ4KI), saying that he loved a girl, and was angry with her without really realizing it until she didn't sleep with him when he went to visit her. So it seems like the "cheaper ticket" lines refer to..." (view)

"It's definitely about Julie Christie's movie. She uses men to increase her chances of becoming an actress and it backfires on her, so this is probably about her manipulation of men." (view)

"It's basically summing up the feelings of admiration towards a person. This girl (I'm presuming he's singing about a girl since he mentions bras) seems perfect - 'So well adjusted but with charm' - and he marks himself as inferior to her 'Your eyes were focussed, mine were grey'. His..." (view)
