| Secret Machines – All at Once (It's Not Important) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This is such a passionate song. I believe (because of the lyric and also an interview with TSM) that it's about the instant someone's heart is broken...when they start to realize (whether it's true or not) that the weight they held on the relationship was too much. This song has such a feeling of being lost and confused. It hits so close to home for anyone I play TSM for. | |

| This is such a wonderful song. Summer anthem material. I blast this down the main drag all the time. Or Dragonforce - Valley of the Damned, lol.. | |

| Agreed. Good that the lyrics were revised. :) Too pretty of a song to be mis-interpreted | |
| Stars – Going, Going, Gone Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I had only heard the Set Yourself on Fire album until I heard them live...this was one of my favourite of their live songs...so beautiful. Anyways. I believe the first verse can be interpreted quite literally: as a girl who’s blinding herself to a harsh reality by feeding a materialistic urge in a repression. It could quite possibly be with her (ex?) boyfriend’s money, unknowing to him as a sort of revenge (sends you gently for the fall). The ‘cellophane’ refers to a conscious mask that is distorting the reality...that she’s become addicted to seeing her situation in a more favourable light than it actually is. Her compulsive shopping is nourishing her broken heart. The chorus is most likely about his infidelity, as has been stated. Unsure as to whether they're actually still together. Again with the cellophane at the end of the second verse, only it shows that the boyfriend has reverted to other methods of repressing his emotions, while also seeing a distorted reality created to be more pleasing to the eye. Enter alcohol! (You're still hooked on cellophane, killing time with gin and lime) He’s been broken and although there’s a good chance he cheated, he doesn’t believe in love (anymore?), and likely nor that he’s even capable of a thing. There's a bit of my take on the song's meaning. I love Stars, they're so fabulous. |
