| Blonde Redhead – Top Ranking Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
'23' is a great great great album for blonde redhead but it took me a long while to really get into. top ranking is slowly becoming one of my favorites!
this song might be a reference to war. the lyrics are so vague it's hard to really come up with my own interpretation-- war is used as the road to peace and quiet, but it's an illusion. in war we kill for peace and quiet, and we sometimes confuse killers for brothers. |

| Muse – Starlight Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
|
i think his attraction to this other person is taking him away from all the people that truly care about him, and he's been wanting to "hold" this person for so long that he's not sure if it's even worth it anymore. his revelation is that his hope and expectation for a return of love has turned into a black hole in which starlight, or any light, does not exist. |

| Josh Rouse – Directions Lyrics

|
|
the first part of the song is about growing up and out of an adolescent, immature phase, just to feel like you need to grow out of another phase, adult life, which didn't feel at all like he expected. i think it's about trying to balance out a life of fun and immaturity with the expectations that come with being an adult, instead of subscribing to one of the two extremes. |

| Red House Painters – Have You Forgotten Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
|
i think when we fall deep in love and dedicate our lives to a person we slowly forget to care about ourselves. we lose our friends and begin to think that most people are dumb or trying to tear the relationship apart. when this person leaves all that's left is an empty social life in a beautiful environment. |

all the things listed like european language schools, professional non-smokers, litter boxes, are all transparent, superficial things to him. he looks at these things, and it makes him feel better knowing that he's above needlessly tedious crap. |

this guy is in a 'bizarre love triangle' b/c he loves a girl that he's watching fall in love with others. he keeps waiting for her to make the move on him while she is falling in love with one man after the other. unlike her, he can't move on so easily. |

i have always loved this song! i remember being really young and hearing this on the radio all the time. tracy chapman's the best.
the person she sings about has nothing to offer her but a 'fast car'. this person took her places and made her feel like someone, but this person wasn't grounded at all in terms of having a job or supporting others. |

a great song! thanks for posting this because i really couldn't understand most of what she was saying. i think she wants to start a relationship with someone that thinks she is moving too fast. she knows what she wants and is all for taking risks to get it. |

i agree-- this song is beautiful, and i feel like most of their songs are reminiscent of the 60s because of tracyann's voice and the tambourines and most everything they put into their works. the violins are awesome. |

| The Cure – Six Different Ways Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
i always thought this song was about meeting six different people that find six different ways into your heart, and the struggle that comes with trying to keep them all. but i also see it as some guy that enjoys juggling affairs with six different women. he knows not one of them to be the same as the other so he believes he's entitled to a relationship with each at the same time.
i thought the movie was an okay adaptation of the book. and i thought the soundtrack to the movie was pretty damn good too :) |

| Sneaker Pimps – Walking Zero Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
this song has one of the best beats i've ever heard! i love it!
to me it sounds as if the speaker felt as if she was a 'walking zero' because she gave her whole self to this person that, like jdoodles said, didn't appreciate the devotion at all. it's a bad relationship in which one side takes more while the other gives. by the end of the song she resolves to be the one taking more. |

what a great song- about trying to let go of someone that has hurt you though you still love em. but maybe, no matter how hard you try the thought of her stays with you because you believe she's that one |

| The Decemberists – Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect Lyrics
| 17 years ago

i agree with the 3 stages thing. this guy tries to learn from each previous relationship, with the same girl, on how to try and make it work though everytime it seems to fall through. on 'try one' he is with her but he never lays his 'rifle' down, he's a bit overprotective. he decides the next time around he won't be so protective but still keep things in check by building a structure to keep her in, to keep her 'safe' and show how much he loves her through his labor. however it was badly built, it fell apart, and they were 'free to go'. the third try, they 'travel without seatbelts on' and 'live it close to death'. this works so he believes that he wins; by keeping no restrictions on her, she stays with him because she isn't suffocating like before.
what do you think? and props to the comments with in-depth analysis :) |

i love this song! i think she's trying to convince the person she's having a relationship with, who's this strong, macho type, that it's okay to be sensitive in front of her. i like how she uses 'parentheses' to describe their relationship. like two "I"'s that bend toward each other, in between is this space they share, for their eyes only. |

when whatever you plan goes to shit you've got to keep your head up. the world might not care, but forget it, let it pass. but with him saying 'i wouldn't be a liar' makes him sound as if he is. he might be saying all of this just to make his friend feel better. |

| Radiohead – There There. (The Boney King of Nowhere.) Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
what does this song mean to me? well... i think... 'just cause you feel it doesn't mean its there' .. might mean that b/c you might feel love for another does not mean the person might feel the same way. he goes walking in pitch dark with branches tripping him, and a siren, a warning, meaning these are all signs for him saying that he should expect no love in return. 'there's someone over your shoulder' might refer to the hope that there is someone out there for you that you cant see just yet, so 'there, there', dont worry.
ps i love this song :) |

i think this may refer to the band members themselves?, as they jetset around the world. theyve grown tired of performing for all these people that they may never know, these zero's, that they may have become zero's themselves, 'unconciously' traveling back and forth through the invisible international dateline. theyre on the verge of saying 'let's end it here,' and as they sleep they wake up on the other side of the dateline, only for it to be another night and performance for a different country on the other side of the world. its a vicious cycle. but i wouldnt want them to stop, im a huge ladytron fan! keep it up guys |

| Interpol – Narc Lyrics

this is what paul had to say about narc: “It’s a very typical love and relationships orientated song but with a filter of corruption and manipulation. It's not a healthy depiction of a relationship."
"In the States a narc is an undercover narcotics agent, hence the manipulation - using leverage to say someone’s committed a crime. But it utilises that power in a really sleazy, sexual kind of way.” |
