| Neil Young – The Needle And The Damage Done Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I thought it poignant to point out to the first person who posted the third verse: "I sing the song because I love the man, I know that some of you won't understand" That's you "Bite Me" - you don't understand. That Neil had the foresight to point that out before you even heard the song, well that just makes me love it even more. |

| Sia – Breathe Me Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This was a breakup song for me. Perfectly sums up the newfound vulnerability and trauma of breakup-ness. Something I could listen to forever over and over again. Everything is perfect, especially her vocals. I'd *highly* recommend the rest of the album too - it's all this breathtaking. Koprolith: describing the meaning of the line "breathe me" is quite difficult! My personal feeling is that she feels very alone, and she's begging for somebody to understand what she's going through. I think by "breathe me" she means "live in my world", "breathe the air I breathe", "walk in my shoes". Live and breathe me and understand me inside and out. It sounds cumbersome and ungainly when I put it like that - I suppose that's because the lyrics are so good! I hope that helps. |

| Ben Kweller – Hospital Bed Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
So it's all about escaping from reality and being with someone you want. It's 'running away together'. We'll cast off our real lives, and instead of 'Liz' and 'Ben' "you be Betty, and I'll be Joe, and we'll crawl out my window" and escape our lives and our problems and just be together. And reality creeps back in, and we can't run away forever. "In the morning I'm out of my head" with love for you, but I can't be there. "I wish i was sleeping in your hospital bed, give me some time to get on your mind!!!" "I wanna get right back down, but you're moving so fast, I want to be everywhere twice." Let's escape forever and just be together. There's more there that I haven't gotten. I think he hints at her being the reason that they can't escape forever... "she's moving so fast", "this machine is so mature, it's so much your type" but I haven't quite nutted that part out yet. Another of Ben's flooringly brilliant tunes. |
