| Passion Pit – It's Not My Fault, I'm Happy Lyrics
| 11 years ago
|
wow, this album is full of imagery that paints a confusing picture. "how am i the only one who sees us fight" suggests a marital issue, right, like in "take a walk," how he's talking about problems in this dude's life.
i dunno, i haven't analyzed a ton, i'm just thinking that the title of this song seems a lot more flippantly happy than the lyrics, which are pretty.. despondent? |

WOW this song is really good. and is speaking to me right now (of course). clearly about a breakup, going through the mundane shitty things that break people up. |

it seems mostly right, although the second to last line is "heart unfolding like flowers before me." well done! i'm impressed by the "one side me, one side always you" bit. |

interesting thoughts here. i could try to analyze it but i really just want to say that i wish all music sounded like this. this is amazing. i think the efforts put forth so far into analyzing the meaning are getting somewhere, though maybe too literally... |

this sounds like something... biblical? "mine eyes deceiving glory..." i don't know, it's so reminiscent of something, i can't figure out what.
but also some of this is very nonsensical, yes? "please come closer to the feather smooth lens fly" WHAT. i'm lost. but i love it.

this oscillates between types of love to me. like it's obviously sibling-related, but then parts of it sound more like a romantic relationship. |

if listening to this song didn't already change your life, seeing him play it live will surely do it for ya.
my god. this might be one of the best pieces of art to be created in my lifetime; i legitimately mean that. |

i fell in love with the instrumental version of this song (on the E/O demos) and couldn't listen to any other version of it. today i finally gave a legitimate listen to this version, with the vocals, and oh my god. i love both versions now. these words are just fucking tragic. this song is amazing. it's almost too personal to put on a mix for someone or send to anyone, you know? this feels like a page right out of a diary. sigh. elliott. my heart squeezes for you. |

what could this mean, "Don't look down or back, All trees have carved a track, On the souls of all before..." ? All trees have carved a track on the souls of all before. Is it like "everything is imprinted forever with what it once was"? (jeanette winterson quote.) Is it about being indivisible from that which came before? but don't look back at it? oh i'm so interested and i have none of the answers.. |

sounds like a breakup but that fourth verse describes a first date of mine, so i can't help but ignore the sadder imagery. |

it is so weird how i can hear this song a bunch of times and think it's subpar compared to others on the album.. and then one time it comes on, and i'm blown away. it happened with ghosting, too. this album just keeps getting more surprising as time goes on.
i.. love. this song. this is beautiful. |

i think this song is beautiful but i can't figure out what the heck it means. sort of sounds like something about the relationship between our corporeal selves and our virtual selves? |

| Goldfrapp – Deer Stop Lyrics

this seems so reminiscent of radiohead circa 2000-2002; i.e., kid a/amnesiac (the best days, in my opinion). not just the warped voice thing, but the whole atmosphere of the song, it's very spinning-plates-esque.
also i'm sorry i can't contribute on meaning, i can't understand a damn word she says, nor pick out the lyrics written here. |

bad night at a bar, wants a "real" life, more legitimate interactions than a shitty bar scene can provide.

we're going to ignore supafox because clearly the video ensures she is saying "dog" not "doll" and that just invalidates the entire post there.
i'm just here to say that i'm obsessed with this song, but i really dislike the video. i want to like it but.. it makes me uncomfortable. |

| Florence + the Machine – Cosmic Love Lyrics

obsessed. i personally think the tone of the song doesn't really go with the idea of staying with someone unhappily. i don't know, it just strikes me as too... hopeful? like maybe there is something bad about whatever's happening, but she sounds willing to give it up. sounds like she thinks it's worth it.
anyway, obsessed. |
