| Regina Spektor – Love Affair Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Corrections about the lyric I've always tought that it was 'ware' and not 'way'... As if the news about the love affair is spreading all around the building and that it's first class-gossip around the ware. I also think that the "Have you heard? He was perfect..." is a quate from the converations at the ware. |

| Well, there's two Mary Anne. One from Sailor Song and one from the actual song Mary Anne (of 11:11). My belive is that one is a woman and one is a ship. | |
| Regina Spektor – Mermaid Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Haha, yeah I see what you mean by your enterpratation and I totally agree with it. It's just that although the story is so sad, it's told in such a cheerful way (with the melody of the song and it's humoristic refrences) that you still don't get sad when you listen to it. At least I don't... I also think the character, the mermaid, is coming to terms with her lost voice and bleeding feet (or bad choices as you put it) and that the verse "I was so lonely walking out of that store... ...took it home and named it mozart" is there to reflect, as the old saying goes "when a door closes, a window opens up". She lost the man in the record store but then got a plant. Although theese two "friends" hardly can compare with each other, a plant is better than being alone and you can't go on regreting the past forever. Afterwards she gets rid of her tail and gets on with her life, instead of spending forever wondering what could have been. Despite everything I think it's a happy song. | |

"The prophets (whom she uses as a symbol for truth) are silent because they realize no one will listen to them with all the other sounds that are present." This comment reminds me alot of the Kris Kristofferson song To Beat The Devil that goes: "...And you still can hear me singing to the people who don't listen to the things that I am saying, praying some one's gonna hear. And I guess I'll die explaining how the things that they complain about are things they could be changing, hoping some one's gonna care." In this song, him being the prophet as a songwriter. It's also a song about writing songs/being a song writer, which I still think this is... |

IGNORE EVERYTHING WRITTEN ABOVE! Nineteenfifthythree rhymes with family. I must have written that in a brief moment of unconsciousness... |

| Regina Spektor – Wallet Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I've heard the recording (and I think it's THAT one) when she says: "This is a silent request from my mom, I could feel it burning into the back of my head". And somehow I get the feeling, from that statement, that the owner of the wallet is her father... It's probably just my wild imagination but just as well as she could have gotten the idea from finding the wallet herself, it could have been her dad that lost the wallet. I base this strictly on one line that goes: "You had been born in 1953" I don't even know if Reginas father was born in 1953 or not but it would sound better -loosly rhyming on "...dark brown"- if the number was 1951... I know what every one's thinking, and I will be checking into a mental hospital soon but still, I could very well be on to someting. |

| Regina Spektor – Uh-Merica Lyrics | 18 years ago |

Well, if you don't count in Reginas true agenda with this audience partitipation-song (*When some one fucks up the bridge by yelling Uh! too soon*:"Ah, fuck it! The whole song is just an excuse to get to that part anyway -Okay- Uh-merica...") it's clearly about Americas gun policy. |

Maybe it's my artritis, and constant aching in my feet, or something else (like my total lack of vocal ability) but somehow it's like this song IS me. The first time I heard it I got this really cosy feeling of being home and belonging, and whenever I'm upset and listen to Mermaid I feel alright again... It's funny what a song can do to you. |

| If any one could tell who it is that does the "sound-effects" in the background I would be so pleased. | |
| Regina Spektor – Music Box Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Totally, and I've also read that her friends always would ask her to make up and play songs when she was little. And since she was so used to playing big, powerful symphonis by Beethoven and Bach etc, it wasn't until she was about fifteen that she actually realized that she was writing songs. Quite remarkable how you can be so neglectant of your talent... | |

>>Fuchsia It says "anchor" in the lyrics of my Soviet Kitsch album and, well... Regina wrote the song, so I think they're right. As for Mary Anne not being the ship but a woman, I -personally- don't think so. I mean, Regina is almost never that litteral. She plays more with metaphores and such. Plus, wouldn't it be kind of boring if Mary Anne WAS a girl? -When in doubt, go with the better lyric- |

| Thanks for adding the russian sentences! :D They're really hard to find. | |
| Regina Spektor – Bobbing for Apples Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| About the "you're somewhere far probably drinking a whiskey...-part" that's so damn hard to hear, could she be saying: "I'm dating Jack Daniels and Caleb's with Miss Nicky"? It seems a bit more logical -to me at least-, but maybe it is as you've written... Just tought I'd ask if some one had figured it out yet. | |

| I think Sid just wanted attention. Like always... Great song tough, I can listen to it for ages. :D | |
| Regina Spektor – Flyin Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| well yeah, but maybe a little bit more complicated... *coughing* I really like the beat in this song but I hate the production in the end. it ruins the whole magic of the song. less is more. | |
| Regina Spektor – Ne Me Quitte Pas Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| this song sounds just like a french contestent in the eurovision song contest... and by that I don't mean a specific one, just any one in the (about) 50 years the contest has been held. it's amazing she could pick that up so fast. love it :D | |

It is clearly about making music. Writning it, singing it, listening to it and just thinking about it. The first verse is a brilliant display of her toughts about being an artist. The second is, I belive, about not being able to escape it. "Got a soundtrack in my mind, All the time. Kids- Screamin' from too much beat up And they don't even rhyme" And since it's a Regina Spektor song, random toughts about life is of course mixed in with the original message. But I also think that this, more than any other of her songs, is about the meaning of life: "Just cause one song is done There’s always another one, Waiting right around the bend, Till this one ends, Then it begins Quickly, then it starts all over again." Like she says in Ghost of Corporate Future "The world is everlasting. It's coming and it's going" |
