Crystal Castles – Courtship Dating Lyrics 14 years ago
dontworrydearpamela: Wow, did you even go to school? Song lyrics are hardly ever taken literally. There are these things called metaphors, similes, and symbols.

"stove burns on my hands
show them to my friends
make you participate"

This song is obviously about playing the game of love, and getting hurt. It compares love to the old moral that you shouldn't put your hands on the stove. These girls, however, burn their hands and show off their wounds. They are battle scars in love which they relish.

"eyes roll back around
limbs fall to the ground
seasoned to procreate

the first to interfere
are culled before the deer
when they wander into the cage"

These girls are compared to trapped animals in cages. They are forced into the situation and they have no idea what to do, but they are "seasoned to procreate". They are unfortunate animals giving in to desire.

"stuff their arms and thighs
then they roll their cardboard eyes
their skin will never age "

Obviously about girls putting on makeup and turning into plastic dolls.

Stars – Krush Lyrics 15 years ago
Fixed lyrics:

It’s all dark,
The streets are empty,
Take me home,
Hear radio friendly.
Keep me out,
Take me under,
The water bridge,
Like when we were younger.

You lean in,
I get nervous,
Think of leaving,
To know the ending.
There you are,
That’s my doubt,
You’re electric,
I’m a powerout.

Don’t know who I am,
But I'm here with you,
Alive

Don’t know who I am,
But I’ll be with you,
Alive

I don’t want to go,
There’s nothing but rumour,
About what I might have never been.
You don’t have to come,
See it in your eye,
You can stay,
Leave it behind.
Leave it behind.
Leave it behind.

Don’t know who I am,
But I’m here with you,
Alive

Don’t know who I am,
But I’ll be with you,
Alive

You don’t have to give,
It’s nothing to me.
Cross your arms,
keep everything.
There’s another side
to this sad story.
Fuck you Hollywood,
I’m the glory,
I’m the glory,
I’m the glory.
Yes, the one
I'm the glorious one.

Don’t know who I am,
But I’m here with you,
Alive

Don’t know who I am,
But I’ll be with you,
Alive

Don’t know who you are,
But there you are,
Beside me.

Don’t know who you are,
But there you are,
Beside me.



I love this song.

Rachael Yamagata – These Girls Lyrics 15 years ago
if you turn up your sound at the beginning of this song, you can hear people talking. it sounds like two or three guys, i can't tell what they are talking about. one of them starts laughing just before the song starts.

Lo Fidelity Allstars – Battleflag Lyrics 16 years ago
'Techno'?

just because it has electronic elements does not mean it is techno. There is a huge, diverse range of music utilizing electronic influences. 'Techno' is an insult to what the Lo Fis do.

DCFCAlex, there's a difference between "changing" your sound and turning into pop rock.

If people thought More Adventurous was "poppy", then this is fucking Billie Jean.
