Vienna Teng – Transcontinental, 1:30 a.m. Lyrics 16 years ago
clearly, this song is about two people who live far apart. The narrator wants to be in a relationship despite the distance, but finds herself feeling farther and farther away from her loved one.

Dave Matthews Band – Sugar Will Lyrics 17 years ago
Here are the lyrics as best as i could get from the Golden Gate Park Concert cd with Santana:

so what is it?
in the middle of this
came in to save us oh
red was staining and covering, oh I wonder
called all this for myself
wonder if you knew

sugar ain't poison
but sugar will kill you
too much of a good thing
maybe not so sweet

what do you think about that?

I came in, maybe, bit too late
and stinking, you said of something holy
and either way to solve this, really matters oh drumming out
try to find for myself whatever come rain
empty space, I fell for myself
I wonder if you knew

sugar ain't poison
but sugar will kill you
too much of a good thing
maybe not so sweet

what do you know about that?

And all of a sudden you were screaming
came scratching in, love, all of these
Oh, I thought, must be dreaming
it's not like you but oh then
I've done it all by myself
still it seems surprising, oh then
broke the wall by myself
still wonder how you knew

sugar ain't poison
but sugar will kill you
too much of a good thing
maybe not so sweet


I think it has to do with relationships. Too much of a good thing maybe not so sweet is realizing that what he thought would make him happy (or make the other person happy) is really not what that person needed.

Dispatch – The Way It Goes Lyrics 17 years ago
I think the song can be seen in two ways. I'd say it is really not about sex but rather growing up and leaving home.
"so that i don't forget how to sit like a child on my mothers knee
how dare that child be me "

is relating to childhood, etc.
"and trot trot to lynn
and trot all the way home again
but don't let me fall in "

is about leaving home and living life.

the chorus "slipping through your legs" is just about childhood slipping away.
the "race me up the loft" verse also relates to childhood memories.


If you want to interpret it about sex/relationships you can see that it might be about a guy who is afraid of falling in love.
"trot trot to boston....don't let me fall in" could relate to a long distance relationship (one where he must travel to these different places to see her) and "don't let me fall in" could mean 'in love'

this notion is reiterated in "let you be an arms length away so you can wake me and tell me of the day"

James Figurine – Apologies Lyrics 17 years ago
naturally, this song is about forgiveness and being able to understand that although your friends can make mistakes and hurt you, if they are genuinly sorry then they deserve your forgiveness.

Also, grammatically I believe the line is "The words aren't worth THEIR meanings"

Vienna Teng – Recessional Lyrics 18 years ago
I think this is about the parting of two people who are very close. The speaker is shattered by the parting but it is out of her hands. As the second person sleeps in the airport terminal the speaker can do nothing but stay awake thinking about the future, and eventually the inevitable happens and "she" has to leave.

Dave Matthews Band – Trouble with You Lyrics 18 years ago
I think the lyrics are wrong and it's

"In fact sure as God is a monkey's dream
There aint that much room to believe what he see."

Dave Matthews Band – Out of My Hands Lyrics 19 years ago
I think it's just a song about having a decision made for you that you had no control over, where you feel bad because the majority went against what you felt was right, but you have to go on and hope for the best...probably about the election as HDFan said but it could transcend into anything
