Brand New – At the Bottom Lyrics 14 years ago
Losing someone, obviously

"Wait, watch you throw out your bouquet"
"We never are what we intend, or invent."
- He waited to be with her then he watched as she got married (to someone else)?

"I made little lives and then I pulled them apart"
- He made her life or his dreams then ruined it

"If I wanted to die before I got old, I should've started some years ago diggin' that hole"
- If he knew it would have turned out bad he would've ended his life a long time ago

"I'll carry this box to the proper place, and when I lower it down I'll let you fade away"
- The box could mean her coffin or box of letters/memories, and fading away from his memory. I'm not sure what he means by 'proper place'?

"I hope that you would do this for me"
- I hope you'd cherish my memory too

"I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate if I thought it would help you get away"
- The word 'serve' implies he wouldn't normally, or usually dis-approves, meaning "I'd give you anything if it meant you felt free"
The use of present tense (I'd/I would) me think she's still alive and in pain, unless it's past tense and more like 'I used to'

Brand New – At the Bottom Lyrics 14 years ago
Wait, watch you throw out your bouquet, now I think about you every day
And I'm alone now in my bed, and there's a lake and at the bottom you'll find all our friends,
they don't swim 'cause they're all dead. We never are what we intend, or invent.

'Cause I made little lives and then I pulled them apart, think something dark's living down in my heart
And if I wanted to die before I got old, I should've started some years ago diggin' that hole

Well I'll carry this box to the proper place, and when I lower it down I'll let you fade away
I hope that you would do this for me (I'd hope that you would do this for me)
Well I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate if I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me (I'd hope that you would do this for me)

A dear that a hunter shot in the heart, some dogs that got hit by cars, all came to spill their guts;
We spoke about the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and which psalms we had loved the most
then we all turned to dirt, and dust
Some men die under the mountain just lookin' for gold, some die looking for a hand to hold

Well I'll carry this box to its proper place, and when I lower it down I'll let you fade away
I hope that you would do this for me (I'd hope that you would do this for me)
Well I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate if I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me (I'd hope that you would do this for me)

(I stole bricks from the dam almost every day, now I'm drowning in the flood I've made
Well explain myself to me on the other side, I'll watch it break? when I die)

Well I carry this box to the proper place, and when I lower it down I let you fade away
I know that you would do this for me (I'd hope that you would do this for me)
Well I'll serve you drugs on a silver plate, If I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me (I'd hope that you would do this for me)

Brand New – Gasoline Lyrics 14 years ago
So you tried to put a fire out - but you used gasoline,
and when the congregation gathered round, you're screamin' "It wasn't me"
So there's a sickness that is goin' round, but no one's got a vaccine,
I think you'll drown in holy water, I think it's time we all come clean.

I swear it's like dying to catch a ghost, it feels like I'm trying to hold smoke,
I swear it's like dying to catch a ghost, it feels like I'm trying to hold smoke.

When the army had to hold the line, well, you were nowhere near the front,
before the kids could tell the dog goodbye, well, you were loading up your gun.
I want to know what is the great divide, I want to know what I've become
You're thinking no one else is lonesome, you think that you're the only one.

It feels like I'm jumping towards a train, feels like I'm jumping towards a train.
We all try to fake a way.
Feels like I'm jumping towards a train, it feels like I'm jumping towards a train.
We all try to fake a way.

It might be 'The' train, but that might just be his accent.......

Jimmy Eat World – Kill Lyrics 15 years ago
this song completely reminds me of my boyfriend. at the start of the year, he dumped me which broke my heart. i never said the words ily, although i told him via text etc, dont think he believed it because i never said the words. i always wanted to tell him but it is hard to say things like that for me. after i was unconsolable and didnt really want to have anything to do with him if it wasnt being his girlfriend, he tried to be my friend but we were both bitter and argued. i got with someone, then me and my ex fell out because i told a girl he liked to watch out because i didnt want someone else to go through what i did. after that we didnt talk for two months. then i ended the relationship with the rebound guy because he never compared to my ex. me and my ex started talking again, i swallowed my pride and said i can handle being just friends now. we ended up flirting and meeting up for a last night together because he was joining the army. the song reminds me of how i felt seeing him again. a few days later we got back together and are still together now, but i always wondered if i had told him i loved him.. we might never have broken up. meeting him again was weak, and i wanted the strength to say fuck you, you put me through hell, you broke my heart and you dont deserve to be near me. honestly, he had some nerve to meet me and has never truly faced upto the mistake of leaving me. i knew what to do that day, but i couldnt walk away. not from him. i know it was a bad idea but did it anyway just because of the small hope he would want me back. thank god he did. i ramble

Saetia – An Open Letter Lyrics 15 years ago
the line "take these words, pulled from me" part is exactly what I mean. it is so difficult to say it wont work, that it feels as though I would have to pull the words out. whoever the song is written by, if they actually ended it, has courage beyond my recognition. i just dont have the strength to do it. i feel as though cutting ties to the one i love would be like cutting my own throat... i can tell whoever wrote this felt the same thing. i envy them for being so strong..

Saetia – An Open Letter Lyrics 15 years ago
these lyrics have really hit home. my boyfriend has joined the army and i get to see him for 3 days in two months, and then not for another two months. its ridiculous, but my hands are tied because i have never felt this way about anyone. i cant end it because nobody compares, but i will hardly see him. he will be away most of the time for the next 3 years. i feel trapped, confused, lovesick.. destroyed, just like the song says. its a weird coincidence it would say the words destroyed and always because my myspace name has been -always destroy- for over a year.. and another thing that is eerily similar, is that he wants me to write to him, but all i can think to put is how this isnt going to work. just like that above comment with the letter from the lyric booklet. deja vu. but i could never end it, or tell him how i feel because i love him like nothing i have ever known. he broke up with me once and i was uncolosable. i want to stick by him but its eating at my head.. will he want me in 3 years time? or will he leave me again after ive stuck by him all that time? only to leave me broken again? anyway.. i am amazed at how well these lyrics fit.. in absolute awe. sorry for the life story. i needed to tell someone..

Mineral – Sounds Like Sunday Lyrics 15 years ago
to me, this says I'll never get over you. time doesnt heal, time is only an oppertunity to fill our heads with new memories and our lives with new people. and if the new things dont match up to the ones that you once held so dear, I find it is very difficult to forget them. I know a lot of times Ive found myself comparing memories instead of replacing them. if you really love someone and you lose them, you never really get over it.. you just try and take your mind off it. thats what i think of this anyway..

Kevin Devine – Ballgame Lyrics 16 years ago
"i need to do to fix myself." doesn't sound positive to me, but that's your opinion Lag (Y); no need to get personal :|

this song really hits home to me, i'm in love with the lyrics. in my opinion they're about accepting the fact he's got a problem (with alcohol) - and even though it might be small - it's affecting him and he needs to deal with it.

i like the fact that you can apply a part of the lyrics to any problem you might have - whether it be alcoholism, drug abuse, depression, gambling - pretty much anything... that's what makes these lyrics so good.

"when you realise it's a pattern and not a phase, it's what you've become and it's what you will stay - that's the ball game. i'm selfish enough to want to get better, but i'm backwards enough not to take any steps to get there. i don't have room in my life for anyone else, and i've driven away all the people that could help. and i still don't even know what i need to do to fix myself."

Kevin Devine – No Time Flat Lyrics 16 years ago
The actual lyrics, or what I hear:

Your skin's in my mouth, but I'm thinking about thousands of things that don't got your name, so I'm distant and weird - we stop and you're all ears, but how can I say...

I've just been thinking that it’s harder every year to find excuses that'll keep me in the clear. The arbitrary lines I impress in the sand, the proof that piles in my trash can; while the skin on my hands is looking older every day, the lies I've told have turned to leather on my face, the love I've lost has turned to needles in my heart - but I'm to blame for all the bad parts, they're the choices I've made. Hey, hey. That's when I turn my face away...

And I watch the debates till I can't see straight. Take abortion away, and both sides are just the same, so I'm not sure why I vote... 'cause I just don't know what difference it makes. It seems to me we get the same shit from them both. Reforms won't work - I think it's time we tried revolt; but I don't got the guts to jump up and go first, so I'll just shout until my throat hurts, and I curse and I curse...

At what we fucked up in Iraq, you say "support the troops" - I do, I want them all brought back - and every building that you bombed raised from the ground. And pull your contractors the fuck out. And if you really go and reinstate the draft, you'll straight away just split the country straight in half; so try arresting everyone who sends their draft cards back. I'll be returning mine in no time flat. In no time flat, in no time flat, in no time flat, yeah yeah yeah, ba da ba...

In a sense we're the same, struggling to save face. It's a question of scope - how far you're willing to go to make rights of your wrongs, despite the risk involved, a question of faith. 'Cause if we wait until we've all been burned to ash to tell the truth about the shit buried in our past, we'll split a taxi to a firepit way down south. So let's rise up and open our mouths...

'Cause you remind me that it's harder every year to find excuses that’ll keep me in the clear. The arbitrary lines I impress in the sand, the proof that piles in my trash can. And if you really go and reinstate the draft, just straight away you'll split the country straight in half; so try arresting everyone who sends their draft cards back. I'll be returning mine in no time flat.

Bright Eyes – Neely O'Hara Lyrics 18 years ago
in the morning when you throw up water
and your skin it turns a pale, pale yellow
well, everyday you lose more colour
do you think that someone paints your mirror?

do you think that someone paints your mirror?

and you think that things sound different
at the time when you speak
there are visions much clearer
than these blurs that you see

and like Neely O'Hara, you swallow your sleep
and you wake up in the morning to find out you are not,
you are not who, you are not who you used to be

you don't recognise behaviour or the spelling of your name
and THE SHAPE'S THAT'S IN THE MIRROR, well, you'd swear it's not,
YOU'D SWEAR IT'S NOT THE SAME

and like Neely O'Hara you swallow your sleep
and YOU REALLY CAN'T REMEMBER, but you know you are not
think you are not, no, you are not who you used to be
who you used to be, who you used to be, NO YOU ARE NOT
who you used to be, NO ARE NOT, NO YOU ARE NOT
who you used to be, who you used to be, who you used to be
who you used to be, NO YOU ARE NOT

so rest your head, and i'll be watching from the doorway
as you slip into a perfect, peaceful sleep.

and you will find the light. and i will be there,
standing in your shadow, knowing that you once,

When there's so much more, there is so much more.

Commander Venus – My Other Car Is a Space Ship Lyrics 18 years ago
This is what I think the lyrics are.
-
Staring out from the library window,
the pictures of girlfriends taped
to the windshields of their cars...
that sit in the back lot.

There's nothing you can do,
no matter how hard she tries,
it won't take long for her new friends
to realise what a bitch that you are.

Staring out from the library window,
roar of the engines feeding the egos
that are perched on top of the cars.

Not that you noticed, not that I'm standing,
but I'm sorry if I've been demanding a lot
from you lately.

Stop before I get too far,
stop before I stop their call,
run out to the phone with all your cash.

Think about all your friends
and anyone that hasn't left you yet, (? soon)
they will, it won't take long (?)
but that's all it's about.

So why'd you lie to me? (That makes her mad.)
you always lie to me,
you had to lie to me, (?)
so why'd you lie too?
You always lie to me. (?)
the bitch she lies to me, (?)
you always lie to me, (Come on, come on, take off that smile.)
you had to lie too.
To... me.

I couldn't help that you're infected
with all the things that I injected into
your veins when you're asleep.

Staring out on the ledge of the window
the roar of the crowd is gathered below
to collect my bruised and battered self.

What makes you such movie stars?
Caviar and fancy cars,
teenage day parade.

So think about all the warmth,
and anything that ever helped you out, (?)
is gone, but that's alright, (?)
'cause you can just get out.

Why'd you lie to me? (It makes her mad.)
you always lie to me,
you had to lie to me, (?...understand)
the bitch she lies to me,
you always lie to me. ( Come on, come on )
you had to lie too, (?)
you had to lie too, ( Not like that )
you had to lie, too. ( Not like that )
To... me.

The Faint – Erection Lyrics 18 years ago
It's a scene from a movie
It's an aisle of the store
It's the view of a canyon
The sound of the sword
It's an orchard of peaches
Your wife, in the shower
While you wait for appointments
As you walk through the park

Oh, uh-oh, erection

You know it's not only love dear
That can flick the switch up
And though it probably should be
Maybe God fucked it up

Oh, uh-oh, erection

It boiled up like a tower
A monument in the park
It's the cock of a rifle
The memory in the dark
You tried to keep it a secret
And that world's gonna know
You've tried for perfection

But then oh, uh-oh, erection
Oh, uh-oh, erection


I love this song :D

ROUGH TRANSLATION
( I used a translator, that is why it's so poor :\)

Basically this song is like Chick Habit, it's about manwhores, who flirt with loads of women.

April March - Drop the girls

Drop the girls, one day it's you who will leave, drop the girls.
Drop the girls, one day it's you which will cry.
Yes I cried but this day, no I will not cry, no I will not cry.

I will say it's well made for you, I will say that will learn to you,
I will say that will learn to you, drop the girls.

Drop the girls that will play you a nasty trick, drop the girls,
drop the girls, you will pay for it one of these days.

One does not play with impunity, with an innocent heart,
with an innocent heart, you will see what I feel.

Before it is not a long time, before it is not a long time,
the chance gives up, that which does not know,
that to leave the wounded hearts,
you will not have anybody to comfort you,
you will not have stolen it.

Drop the girls.

Drop the girls, one day it is you whom one will leave, drop the girls.
Drop the girls, one day it is you which will cry.

Not to feel sorry for you, there will not be nobody of other that you,
nobody of other that you, then you will remember,
all that I say to you there, all that I say to you there

Bright Eyes – Sunrise, Sunset Lyrics 18 years ago
CORRECT LYRICS:

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset, swiftly go the days.
Sunrise, sunset, you wake up then you undress, it always is the same.
The sunrise and the sunsets, you're lying while you confess, keep trying to explain.
The sunrise and the sunsets, you realise then you forget what you've been trying to retain.

But everybody knows it's all about the things that get stuck inside of your head.
Like the songs your room-mate sings, a vision of her body as she stretches out on your bed...
and she raised her hands in the air, asked you when was the last time you looked in the mirror,
'cause you've changed. Yeah, you've changed..

The sunrise, the sunsets, you're hopeful and then you regret, the circle never breaks.
With a sunrise and a sunset, there's a change of heart or address, is there nothing that remains?
For a sunrise or a sunset, you're manic or you're depressed, will you ever feel okay?
For a sunrise or a sunset, your lover is an actress, did you really think she'd stay?

For a sunrise or a sunset, you're either coming or you just left, but you're always on the way;
towards a sunrise or a sunset, a scribble or a sonnet, they are really just the same.
To the sunrise or a sunset, the master and his servant have exactly the same fate.
It's a sunrise and a sunset, from a cradle to a casket, there is no way to escape.
The sunrise and a sunset, hold your sadness like a puppet, keep putting on the play...

But everything you do is leading to the point where you just won't know what to do.
At that moment you may laugh but there is someone there who will be laughing louder than you.
So it's true, the trick is complete, you become everything you said you never would be.
You're a fool; you're a fool!

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset. Sunrise and the sunsets.
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, the sunsets, the sunrise, the sunsets.
Sunrise, sunset, go home to your apartment, put the cassette in the tape deck and let that fever play.
Sunrise, sunset, where are you Arienette?

Bright Eyes – Loose Leaves Lyrics 18 years ago
Bright Eyes - Loose leaves CORRECT lyrics:

Well, there's stories in the soil, loose leaves cover the ground; there's volumes in the forest no one reads out loud,
if I could take them down, off of that mountain shelf we used to climb... but no one tries to go up that far now, yeah.
We're all too busy working, entertainin' ourselves, forty hours television and prescription pills, well, I take two a day
to make my brain behave; it never does, but who's to say - at least my doctor gets paid. So that's fine, yeah come by
we'll take the afternoon off, we can kiss and undress or if you want just talk, 'cause I got nothing real, just empty space to fill;
and you're my girl, I like your style, just imagine all the time we could kill...

And time's not poison; but once you drink it all you'll die. So let's just sip it real slow, yeah we can nurse it all night,
try to believe that once it's gone, they'll pour another round and come back to life... "Come right back!"

Well it's all moving faster now, well that's what they say; and though some days still take forever, I can disagree
because it seems to me that I wake up and sleep, look in the mirror, have no idea what happened in between,
but I remember counting days down 'til the year could be done, so I could scatter all my notebooks on the prep school lawn
and disappear again into a summers' bliss of staying out, and sleeping in and getting drunk with my friends.
And that's gone and I know that it won't ever come back, I accept - I won't cling to what I had in the past,
but life's a slippery slope, regret's the steepest hill, hope for the best, plan for the worst, and maybe wind up somewhere in the middle...

And I'm not saying that I know what I want, but I know what I don't - don't want to rot in my room,
and never know what could have been, believe what everyone else tells me is true; yeah, they say true (so they say it's true!)
Well, they say true, (they say, and they say, and they say...) yeah they say true. "That's what they say, that's it."



I fucking love this song, it's one of my favourites by BE. I love the fact that the music is so upbeat, but the lyrics are pretty much the opposite.

I think what (some of) Conor's saying is that he misses his friends, and nobody makes an effort anymore - everyone (including himself) is too occupied.

"no one tries to go up that far now, yeah. We're all too busy..."

I love this song, have for years, and I can relate to it. Fuck I miss the summer.

Bright Eyes – Lava Monster Lyrics 18 years ago
This song isn't by Bright Eyes. It's by Conor Oberst. I think it's about being in love with someone, who thinks everything is pointless. He is saying that he will look after than whatever comes.

Lava Monster makes me think of the little monsters in Yoshi's Island :]

Rites of Spring – All There Is Lyrics 18 years ago
Correct version.

"It's more than love, and it's less than love.
It's what I give to you.

It's more than love, and it's less than love.
It's what I gave to you. (You, you.)

All there is, is in the knowing that this never has to end (no, yeah)
All there is to know; *, oh...

If I could take, heart in hand, what I'd give to you.
If I could take, heart in hand, what I'd give to you. (You)

All there is, is in the knowing that this never had to end. (No)
All there is to know; *, this never had to end.

It's more than love, and it's less than love!
It's what I gave to you!

It's more than love, and it's less than love!
It's what I gave to you! (You, YOU!)

All there is, is in the knowing that this never had to end.
All there is to know; *, woah!"

* = can't work out what he says here, might be "you gotta" ?

The way the lyrics say "give, then gave" tells me this song was about an end to a relationship of some sort. The singer sounds more angry towards the end aswell.

Rites of Spring – Theme (If I Started Crying) Lyrics 18 years ago
The version I downloaded sounds more like...

"Cruelty, is the better part of your honesty;
and when you're so direct it's just for yourself to protect.

And if I started crying, yeah, would you start crying?
And if I started crying, would you start crying?
And sometimes; when I see a world inside,
sometimes; when I, you know I try.

And hope is just another rope to hang myself with,
to tie me down, somethin' real comes around.

And if I started crying, well, would you start crying?
Now I started crying, why are you not crying?
Sometimes; when I got a world inside,
and sometimes; when I... I try, I really try (hey)

When I, when I, when I,
when I, when I, when I, when I...

When I started crying, yeah, would you start crying?
And when I started crying, why are you not crying?
And, sometimes; when I see a world inside,
sometimes; when I, you know I try, I really try."
