| Bloc Party – Helicopter Lyrics
| 18 years ago

|
Kele Okereke, in an interview with Pitchfork..."It's frustrating that people attribute something to certain songs and that's not what they're about at all. It's a common misconception that "Helicopter" is about President Bush. It's kinda patronizing." |

| The Decemberists – The Engine Driver Lyrics

It's about that girl that you want but will never get, for whatever reason. Still, even knowing this, the love that you feel stays. Meloy is shrieking "if you don't love me let me go", but the love still stays, despite the fact that the writer has "written pages upon pages trying to rid you from my bones." A nasty little spot to be in. Part of me is starting to think that there is only ONE charactor...I'll post more on that once I think about it some more. |

| Modest Mouse – Float On Lyrics

"I backed my car into a cop car the other day.
Well he just drove off, sometimes life’s OK."
Probably talking about the fact that Isaac doesn't have a license (lost during some drunk driving charge), but he drives anyway. That's about how deep you can read into this song, how are there so many comments? Damn mtv... |

| Belle & Sebastian – Piazza, New York Catcher Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
|
Mike Piazza is a catcher for the New York Mets. New York papers suggested that he was gay, causing him to have a press conference announcing that he wasn't. His career batting average is .319, but I suppose it may have been .318 when the song was written. The pitcher is probably Sandy Koufax, one of the greatest southpaws of all time, who refused to pitch on Yum Kippur. The Giants would be the San Francisco Giants, the statue is probably the giant Willie Mays statue in front of SBC Park. Mays is regarded by many as the greatest living ballplayer. |
