|
the autotuned vocals in the beginning say, "crystal light...everyone," in reverse. samples from god has a voice she speaks through me. |

| Metric – Sick Muse Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Me, too! I thought it was a social commentary on video games, maybe. | |
| CocoRosie – Tekno Love Song Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I always thought the poem was recited by Bianca, with her voice pitch-shifted. But I think it could possibly be Antony as well. finechild, the poem is sometimes used in live versions. They have it recorded on something and they play it before and during the song. |

| Liz Phair – Ant in Alaska Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I really like this. | |
| Now, Now Every Children – GM Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I feel like this song is the end of a really special relationship, whether it is because of death or simply just breaking up. The first verse is sort of saying, "Yes. We're separating, but I'll still be here." And the second verse is just talking about how hard it is to adjust without that person. Now, Now is going to get very big. |

| The Knife – Parade Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think it might be about being high on marijuana. | |
| Xiu Xiu – Dangerous You Shouldn't Be Here Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| The line, "There is no way to light an altar for you--everything is too wet." makes me want to cry. | |
| Thom Yorke – Iluvya Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Hyphnip, I think you're hearing, "Turn the music down." I listened for it and I thought I heard it, too, but I think it's a guy saying, "Turn the music down." |
|
| The Knife – Like a Pen Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Does anyone else here her say something else at the end of the first chorus? It sounds like, "Must be five-hundred degrees Can't stay long, outworn." Does anyone else hear that? |
|
| The Knife – The Captain Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Isn't it "One thousand stories and there's always more." ? |
|
| The Knife – Still Light Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is really sad. I feel like it might be about abortion. |
|
| The Dresden Dolls – Slide Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think it's about prostitution. With the pennies and stuff. And just getting older as you grow up a prostitute, and going downhill. | |
| The Dresden Dolls – Half Jack Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think it's about alcoholism. With the half-way house and all, and plus alcoholism does run in the family, apparently. And maybe Jack is kind of a funny tackle on Jack Daniels or something, and Jill is a random name. |
|
| The Dresden Dolls – Truce Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
A lot of these lyrics are wrong, for me. Was there an earlier version? |
|
| Liz Phair – Johnny Feelgood Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
... She just found out she was into [insanely] kinky sex. And fell in love with an unlikely guy, and sex with him. |
|
| The Dresden Dolls – Sing Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Weird. My friend burned me Yes, Virginia, and the beginning of this song is still "There is this thing that's like touching, except you don't touch." Why? |

| Xiu Xiu – The Fox & The Rabbit Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"When the fox hears the rabbit cry He comes running but not to help." ... I love them. So much. |
|
| Xiu Xiu – The Pineapple Vs. The Watermelon Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think this is about his father and how he thinks he had no reason to kill himself, because everyone was on his side, and he wonders if it's stupid to pray that he comes back. Not as devastating as Mike, really. Sad, though. |
|
| Xiu Xiu – Homonculus Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Probably one of the best Xiu Xiu songs ever. Not surprising that it's their FIRST one. They've definitely not gone downhill. Can't fucking WAIT for the new album. |
|
| Mindless Self Indulgence – Last Time I Tried To Rock Your World Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"last fucking time i was stupid fucking enough to take that money - i'm gonna rock your fucking world" Pretty sure that part is actually "Last fucking time I was stupid fucking enough to think that little me could rock your fuckin world." |
|
| Xiu Xiu – Sad Pony Guerrilla Girl Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The live performance of this song is amazing on Life and Live. Especially in the middle of it where there's all the chaos. Jamie does it all with his voice. |
|
| Xiu Xiu – Apistat Commander Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I love all the things Xiu Xiu will do/say that other people wouldn't think of doing/saying. Who would've thought that the words "oh my god" in a song would be so catchy? Fucking awesome. |
|
| Xiu Xiu – Fast Car Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Yeah. Xiu Xiu is definitely an acquired taste. I dunno. If I was really sad, I'd rather listen to this version of the song. It's so vulnerable and desperate sounding. It sounds like he's about to start sobbing at any second. But other times I'd want the original. Xiu Xiu is still absolutely amazing, though. |

| Sigur Rós – Sæglópur Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I'd love to be on an airplane listening to this song and looking out the window. That would be amazing. Anyone had the pleasure? |
|
| Patty Griffin – Top of the World Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
So, did the Dixie Chicks write this or did Patty Griffin write it? I didn't know until now that the Dixie Chicks did a version of it. Apparently this is off their album Home which came out in 2002. Impossible Dream came out in 2004. But I have a live version of Patty doing it and her saying: "This song isn't on any of my records yet, we just recorded it. And it's called 'Top of the World.'" So...who wrote it? |
|
| Xiu Xiu – Mousey Toy Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song kind of makes me think of the movie Kids, or a similar situation. The first verse makes me think some kind of seduction is going on. Then it goes to the "This continent is lit by the holocaust beneath my ribs." In Kids, this kid (unknowingly) has AIDS and is having sex with several different girls. The several cheated girls represent the continent and the holocaust is AIDS and the boy in the movie was very skinny, his ribs were emphasized. And the last verse is again, a seduction type of thing. |

| Xiu Xiu – Little Panda McElroy (B) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| You know...I'm new to Xiu Xiu. So, if that woman is actually his cousin, it's not that weird. Maybe he loves her as family? So maybe this woman helped him get through some hard times, and he loves her for that. The way a guy loves his cousin. That's what I get from the song. | |
