Mates of State – Jigsaw Lyrics 15 years ago
I can't quite pinpoint the meaning of this song quite yet.
I thinking that two people are drifting perhaps one is moving on to bigger things.

This part sticks out to me most:
"It's like a jigsaw, maybe
You found the corner piece first"

I think they're saying that they need to put things back together and to start they need the corner piece. Or the parts of their relationship where they connect, or have things in common.

Overall, its an amazing song.

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists – The Lost Brigade Lyrics 16 years ago
13,040 days is equal to 37 years.

Being about Ted's age with Living with the Living came out.


I just think this song is about the need to continue on even when things arent that great around you. And the way to continue on, with music.

Ted is a genius.

The Frames – Song for Someone Lyrics 16 years ago
I agree I think its just a song to help get through those lonely times. When you're wondering if there really are that many fish in the sea.

Theres a video of Glen singing this acostic by him self. Its great. He switches up the lyrics and I think they fit best how he does it there.

He says:
I'm coming back to see you girl
You know there's nothing surer in this world
And every dawn is another morning less
I have to wait to wake beside that girl
And I hope we're gonna be the very same...
And I hope we can survive this wave again...

I like it that way.

Heres a link to the vid.

Sufjan Stevens – Rake Lyrics 16 years ago
I think this song is more about that time where you're ALMOST in a relationship.

I never felt so safe
A line I once told her
Warm resting place
Her arm on my shoulder

You feel so safe with this person, and you're open about it.

But then,

We ran into a safe
When the walls came closer
She turned into a cave
Where it turned colder

Once you get closer to each other, the person turns cold and you're left.

They are your rock. A solid base in your life. But they are also the rake and drag themselves away from you.

I guess thats what I get from it. But if you've never been there you probably think im nuts.

The Rocket Summer – Movie Stars and Super Models Lyrics 16 years ago
I think the real lyrics are

If only the shows were as real as the clothes

And

They shot it and we bought it

Sage Francis – Slow Down Gandhi Lyrics 16 years ago
Who's the one to blame for this strain in my vocal chords?
Who can pen a hateful threat but can't hold a sword?
It's the same who complain about the global war,
But can't overthrow the local joker that they voted for.
"They call the shots, but they're not in the line of fire."
I'd call the cops but they break in the line of duty.
Lets call a stop to the abuse of authority.
The truth keeps calling me, and I'm a live to tell the story.

This is perfect.

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists – I'm A Ghost Lyrics 16 years ago
The struggle to have a political voice in an uneducated world.

Hes a ghost. And people give him crap about caring, but you can't make a sound when you're dead. So why wait.

Oh this is great.

Matt & Kim – 5K Lyrics 16 years ago
Im pretty sure this is about Kim.

heres an excerpt from an interview with her:
"In high school I focused on track. My plans back then were to run throughout college and then compete in the Olympics. Yeah… didn't work out as planned. I made it through one year at Penn State and realized I had other things in mind. I do miss running though."

So the whole running thing does fit.

But who really knows except Matt and Kim

Damien Rice – Volcano Lyrics 17 years ago
Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth your back
Is that all you need
Don't drag my love around
Volcanoes melt me down
And what I am to you
Is not real
And what I am to you
You do not need
And what I am to you
Is not what you mean to me

That part i can relate to.

I kind of see it as a Friends with Benefits thing. You're attached and that person to you is everything. But to them. You're just a thing.

But you can take it however you please.

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists – Little Dawn Lyrics 17 years ago
Id say this song is a call to anyone who feels the need to protest.

"But on the days and nights you try to breathe
and you can't believe you still walk the streets
Stretch out your weary hand to me - it's alright
And if you're not content to just believe
And if you don't consent to just let it be
Stretch out your legs and dance with me all night, tonight
It's alright "

I really like "And if you're not content to just believe
And if you don't consent to just let it be"

The Long Winters – Seven Lyrics 17 years ago
This song means a lot to me.

This is what i get from it, i could be wrong but its art and art can be interpreted a million different ways.

Two people in a relationship, that is falling or fell apart. And both said that they wouldnt care that it was over, and that they werent attached. But then one day you realize that you were and still are attached.

Thus
"you never said it but I think I get it
and maybe you were right

that I miss you Seven
I miss you Seven"

"well I stopped
but how can I really stop
and stay stopped?"
Thats my favorite part.

They're also a little bit confused because the other person said it was their fault it ended.
Hence...
"well I never thought I'd hear you say

that I did the driving and the falling knives"

This is probably one of my favorite TLW songs, though I love them all.

The Rocket Summer – Christmas Present Lyrics 18 years ago
love love love this song.
I think bryce is trying to say that not matter how low you are in life, Jesus will talk to you and save you. The part, The truth is that I’d like to die
But I fear of where I could go, that’s real
‘Cause take a look; I’m so drunk, stupid, and worthless
For some Jesus you feel, that’s real

That part. Oh buddie. It is perfect.

James Blunt – You're Beautiful Lyrics 18 years ago
I will admit that i secretly love this song but...
It is so shallow. He loves this girl, he doesnt even know and he wants to be with her.

Yes, she caught my eye
As I walked on by
She could see from my face
That I was, fucking high
And I don't think
That I'll see her again
But we shared a moment
That will last till the end

So pretty much he sees a hot girl, he wants her really really really wants her. But he cant have her.

Very shallow, wanting someone purely by their looks.

The Fray – Heaven Forbid Lyrics 18 years ago
I personally love this song.

I believe that the song is about a person who has never had a relationship and finds someone like a hookup and gets hurt. They think they need to give up on relationships all together. The songwriter is giving advice by saying its okay to be alone and not have anyone. He is getting frustratred hence the "Heaven forbid you end up
Alone and don't know why"
He is somewhat mocking the person
But he also cares for this person and tells them to not give up.
I can relate to this song because i have never been in a relationship and can realize that its tough.

I love the fray.
