| Regina Spektor – Man of a Thousand Faces Lyrics

I think this song is about a man who is a perfectionist trying to live his life "perfectly." But it's exhausting, trying to attain perfection, and he's either thinking of suicide ("quiet ascension" sounds like dying) or going crazy (smiling at the moon, etc.). When it says, "Good is better than perfect," I think he's trying to convince himself of this, though he still "scrubs til his fingers are bleeding." It also sounds like he's really lonely. |

| Regina Spektor – Hero Lyrics

I think this song is saying that we are all the heroes of our own lives, of our own stories, and although we are the heroes, we are not perfect. However, we feel the need to maintain control of our lives and refuse help because we think we can "save" ourselves. But, as she says, no one's got it all, and we aren't invincible... |

I LOVE this song... does anyone know how to get it on CD?
I think it's about a "genius next door" who has never really fit in with everyone else. All the other kids hang out together, get drunk, and laugh about the lake. So one night, the genius next door drowns himself in the lake - and, like many people who commit suicide, regrets it the moment before he dies.
This song is so sad and so beautiful... |

Actually, I don't think this song has a happy meaning. I think it's about the narrator missing an ex-boyfriend. For example, "we'd better hurry up," is because she knows what's coming for them (a break-up) and she's remembering back to happier times. In the "it just feels good..." part, she's remembering how it felt when they were together (for example, how it felt to wake up next to him).
"And I'm not a failure, I swear/I wish you could see it from over there/I've got a lot over here without you" |

I love this song. It's saying that you shouldn't do something you think you might regret, like leaving someone, especially someone whom you fell for really hard. |
