| Keane – Spiralling Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Who the hell cares about if this is their usual stuff? If they want to do this kind of music then good for them. I enjoy it. I enjoy a lot of their music. Anyway, this is for interpretations, hence "songmeanings.net", not "songopinions.net", you know? The verses that begin "I fashioned you from jewels and stone..." and "But everytime I reach for you..." sound like something relating to God. It only really dawned on me after a few times listening to the song. Kind of like a "I wanted the best for you, but you just left me, didn't take me seriously, and now the world I made for you is getting destroyed", or something. |

| Radiohead – Idioteque Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
they're very much lyrics that you can analyze over and over and over again, come up with so many different interpretations, but never find one that quite matches that feeling you get when you just listen to the lyrics superficially. the immediate sense of panic, fear, but a strange high that you get when you listen to the words as you go along. this song could easily be put into the background of a scene of a world disaster. the lyrics, if i had to analyze them, would definitely be about a disaster/the everyday disasters in the world. "Who's in a bunker? Women and children first ..." Terrified people running into the bunkers in a desperate attempt to keep themselves safe. "Laugh until my head comes off ... swallow until I burst ..." 'Ignorance is bliss' - people trying to pretend all of this isn't really happening. "I have seen too much, I haven't seen enough, You haven't seen it" People who can't stand watching the terrible things happening in the world, but still haven't yet witnessed the massive scale of it all - 'haven't seen enough' - and trying to warn others of the horrors. "Here I'm allowed everything all of the time" Either a sense of not wanting to be involved in it - again 'ignorance is bliss' - the sense that if everything went away, they wouldn't be able to cope as before, they were 'allowed everything all of the time' - or, a feeling of guilt. Everyone else suffering and them having everything. "Ice age coming" A long period of time where everything's going to be desolate and cold and frightful. "Let me hear both sides" Thinking 'why is this happening?' and taking opinions from everyone (or just from the two sides responsible) "Throw it on the fire" Panicking and maniacally trying to defend against threats - people and things posing a threat are fought against and added to the growing list of threats, a metaphorical fire. Also, fire could represent the terror and frantic running around crying and destroying things in a strange 'end of the world' scenario. "We're not scaremongering, this is really happening" Frantic pleas to get the people of the world to believe what the messengers of the danger say (newscasters, world leaders, etc). Also, the frightened feeling you get when people tell you "this isn't a joke, we're serious". "Mobiles skwerking, mobiles chirping" Telling your friends, trying to get in contact with loved ones. "Take the money and run" Turning to stealing to keep themselves alive - taking money, items, food, whatever, to keep their family alive (or just themself). "The first of the children" - as mentioned before. Basically, the song if analyzed is just about the terrified public running around with mob mentality trying to survive in the event of apocalypse. |

| Pink – So What Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
It's immature. It's stupid. It's narcissistic. It's boastful. It's arrogant. It's aggressive. And quite frankly, that's the whole fucking point of the song. It's meant to be a breakup song. Emotions flying wild, childish one-upping each other. Please, please, dear GOD understand this. And if you don't like the song, then why the HELL are you here. It's meant to be a song MEANINGS website, not a competition of WUTZ DE BST SONGGG LOLOLOLOLOL. :| |

|
I ... really don't know what this song means. XD The other explanations just ... don't seem to fit D: Not for me, anyway. GAH. D< BTW I think it's "Make up won't help me much too much", not "Make up won't help me oblige too much" |

| Lemon Demon – Matches and Nails Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Either that, or it's like he wants to know why good things end, and is insane anyway, and kills himself because he's insane and thinking "Perhaps I'll understand nao!" ¬_¬ |

| Lemon Demon – Matches and Nails Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Lol, I think Lemon Demon songs have no real meaning, and therefore make you think, and then we come up with meaning, and it's there to show you that you can find meaning in anything. LOL. But as for this song ... It's like he's talking to the match in contemplation one day ... like, you bring me light and happiness, you know that darkness and loneliness isn't good ... and then he goes on about how nothing lasts forever, and how the sun'll come up and there'll be light and happiness, but he'll never understand why the sun goes down at the end of the day ... and this is stretching a little, and it's my mind being odd, but it's like he's been through a break up (like most songs are about, lol) and he's talking about how all good things come to an end (LOL other song), and perhaps the matches are his relationship, or something, and the sun is everyone else in a relationship ... he sees so many other happy relationships whilst he doesn't have his ... and when it's him and his relationship with whomever, everyone else disappears and it's just them. He doesn't understand why everything happy always ends -- "I'll never understand why it disappears after every day." And then perhaps he goes insane for no reason, other than the fact that he's always surrounded by everyone else who's happy whilst he's not ... and kills himself? With a nail in the head ... and the planet like clay, new thoughts, and the world unwinding ... learning everything ... because he's dying? Like, life flashing before your eyes, and sudden realisations, and bright lights and stuff, and he's like, "Now I know why the sun goes down (why everything good must end) and I thank you, because without you leaving me I wouldn't have decided to suicide" or something ... LOL. I see too much into stuff. |

| Lostprophets – Broken Hearts, Torn Up Letters And The Story Of A Lonely Girl Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I think the line 'and there's no destiny when everyone's your enemy' means, you can't do anything, go anywhere, if everyone hates you ... or something like that... I love this song ^_^ |
|
| Angie Hart – Blue Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Yeah, someone dying (literally or figuratively, but more likely figuratively), and wondering where the other person was when they needed them. 'Warm skin, wolf grin' makes me think of FREAKYSMILEDEADGIRL from the episode. XD Damn them putting the best song in the freaky ep. 8D If only they put it in Tabula Rasa ... lol. Perhaps the 'I fell into the moon and covered you with blue' might be, they died inside (high tide, inside - upsurge of sadness/crying/depression?) and fell into deep depression (also, werewolves - wolf grin, moon? significance?) and made the other person depressed too? Perhaps then they want to reverse time and/or stay with them a while to try and save themselves ... 'Can I make it right? Can I spend the night?' But that doesn't make much sense for the 'alone' afterwards. The 'wild eyed, i died' could be that they kind of went insane with depression ... when it all overwhelms you, it does kind of happen. Damn, this song is hard to analyse. XD |

| Guided by Voices – Teenage FBI Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Okay the nose-picking thing, if this bloody song is based on that I'm never going to be able to listen to this bloody song again. I think, myself, that it could be about someone dating someone else/liking someone else, and like the 'Teenage FBI' following them around everywhere ... and that he feels like he acts really stupid around the person ... driving them further away ... ? And the 'Having at once gone too far', might have been them acting really stupid in front of them, stopping their chances of being with them. The 'Cleaning out the hive' could be cleaning out the room, and finding stuff that makes them remember how stupid they were ... Anything to get off the other bloody subject. Urgh. |

| Pixies – Where Is My Mind? Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I'm so obsessed with this song, but because I first discovered it on a fan tribute to mah fave charrie from Death Note ... and it made me fall into a fit of silent sobs ... because my fave character dies ... I think this is just one of those songs that seems to make no sense, but has some hidden meaning ... someone who's gone slightly insane and they don't care what happens anymore ... they could kill themselves and they wouldn't care, but they are aware of their insanity ... not suicidal tendencies (although it could very well be described that way), but insanity ... the whole 'where is my mind, way out in the water, see it swimming' is kinda telling us, they know they're 'away with the pixies' ;) . The whole, 'swimming in the carribean' and all the fish hiding from him, might be like everyone hates him/seems to want to hide from him, and the only person who'll stay with him is perhaps someone who everyone else classes as insane too ... or something ... hey don't mind me, I'm pulling random meanings out of nowhere right now. I ADORE THIS SONG THOUGH. And I only found it today. A couple of minutes ago, actually. XD |

| Lemon Demon – Your Evil Shadow Has A Cup Of Tea Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Hmm, it may really just be nonsense, but I love finding a hidden meaning behind it. I compare it to Life on Mars by David Bowie and that's a massive compliment coming from me ^_^ Yeah, I think it's about going insane and giving into your dark side, but also trying to push against it and at the same push against the boundaries of knowledge and not just accept it (like when he goes on about "It's never too late to take the chance of a lifetime under the weight of life, and chance, and death. And it's never too far out. We don't know how the sun became a star. They say it's always been that way, but I'll be damned if that case." and "we can talk about the government conspiracies and circumvent the challenges that represent our foes."). I also can see other parts going on about insanity and dark side ... there must be someone/something pushing their evil side into the open - because they're saying the evil shadow has a cup of tea and someone is inviting this person round telling them they'll put the kettle on. Also, "we can talk about the faceless evil shadow creatures underneath our clothes" is sort of like saying that they hide their true selves underneath layers of fake smiles and politeness (just like you hide your naked body underneath layers of synthetic material) ... ^_^ I like analysing this song!!!!! |

| Pulp – Bar Italia Lyrics | 17 years ago |

So, so chilling. It makes me think of Doctor Who!! XD But my sister says it is about drugs ... ooooookay! "I'd like to take you by the hand ..." Rose + The Doctor hold hands very often...! "Go for a walk past people as they go to work" More like a run, but comparing Doc+Rose's life to the other ordinary people. "Before they tell us we've just died" Doomsday=Rose officially "Dies". "Move quick, you've gotta move" They run a lot don't they? And Doc's first word to Rose was "Run!" "Two sugars would be great" Hey, 10th Doc likes tea!!! "If we get through this alive, I'll meet you next week, same place same time!" Every week at 7pm on BBC 1, Doctor Who aired (and will soon air again for next series!). Until Doomsday, last ep, where Rose officially "Died" and then we have a long break from it!! XD "You can't go home and go to bed because it hasn't worn off yet" The adrenaline they have after an adventure, and they can't go to bed because it's not worn off yet! "Let's go" Not exactly a LYRIC mind you, but Doc+Rose are always running off to new places!! XD So what do you think? |

| Green Day – Hitchin' a Ride Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Well, he must be a drunk. I dunno why, I just think it's a drunk. Then, he's walking about after a late night possibly, and he spots a cab or summat and asks for a lift (Hey mister, where you headed? Are you in a hurry? I need a lift to happy hour say oh no). And also he might be a drunk from "Happy hour". Then he says basically, "I feel guilty for drinking so much - now i'm an addicted drunk," when he says "The well that inebriates the guilt". Then he says he's trying to go COLD TURKEY on the drinking. But i think crow might be something he calls a substitute for alcohol (Cold turkey's getting stale, tonight i'm eating crow) I dont understand the "Fermented salmonella poison oak, no". But then again, someone else might. The fountain of youth could be alcohol which helps him feel younger. But there's a drought, which is leaving him feeling horrible. The drought is where he can't have alcohol. Troubled times - he is going through a rough patch without alcohol. "Off the wagon" - Wagon could mean alcohol, pubs, things like that. So he's getting away from the alcohol. Then he repeats what he said before, except when he says "****" it could mean he's REALLY going through a rough patch without the alcohol. Then he repeats what he said before. Anyone think otherwise? :D |

| Green Day – Brain Stew Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Well, I agree with it being about Insomnia (I had this once on one night - awake until about 6am!!!!) because of his son waking him. Well, why ELSE would it be on the "Insomnia" album?! All the songs on there were written when he couldn't sleep. It is so cool, but the only reason I like this is because my sister plays green day on repeat when she is trying to sleep. | |
| 4 Non Blondes – What's Up? Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think it means almost most of the things you lot have said. She wants life to change, so instead of being stuck as whatever she is, she's somewhere else, enjoying a nicer life. So she thinks that life is evil somewhere along the line. She doesn't know what to do (Whats going on?) so instead of trying she gets up, walks outside, and yells to noone in particular, or maybe god, What's going on. She wants to know what is happening, and what she should do. She feels odd, like something's there, like something is going to change, but nothing does. Possibly, from being like this, screaming to god what is happening and everything, people have taken her away to a mental institution, but she simply wants an answer, and she doesn't mean harm. And so, it goes back to the beginning - she's stuck in an institution, nowhere to go, and she wants to know WHY. Who thinks otherwise? :) |

| David Bowie – Life on Mars? Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| When I heard this on holiday (I heard most of these songs on holiday) I thought, "What is he on drugs?" because it sounds weird saying for is there life on mars, "Rule britania is out of bounds to my mother my dog and clowns" and also "Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow" so i think he might have been on drugs. | |
| The Boomtown Rats – I Don't Like Mondays Lyrics | 19 years ago |

If this girl, Brenda Spencer came up to me and started shooting, i would call the police and swear on my life that she started shooting. But the song makes her seem so sweet, and the singer i think is the guy who "never smiles". I only heard this in august last year, when I was coming back from a holiday. I have become hooked. I think it is about Brenda Spencer, but I like songs based on fiction, more than truth. Then I keep feeling sad if it's truth. I LOVE this song, and the lyrics: "what reason do you need to die? (oh, oh oh ohhhhh)" I think point to the fact that, this girl called Brenda Spencer had no reason to shoot, other than why she says: "I don't like mondays". If she doesnt shoot again then she's okay. But if she does, then she is in the wrong. Like it says, "what reason do you need to die?" Lixa :) (Tell me why - I don't like mondays fanatic) |
