Grateful Dead – Terrapin Station Lyrics 12 years ago
I could never describe this song's meaning, in this comment box. It must be understood by one's own self, this is what the song's meaning necessitates.

Boy – Little Numbers Lyrics 12 years ago
She's met someone who's sparked her soul to fly, and now no one else can measure close to him. They spent some time together and she got to know him. Then they had to part, long-distance being the barrier between them. Things have slowed down, but she can't forget about him. She wants him to call her (the 7 digits are her phone number), and can do nothing but wait for him until he does something. So she continues living, with him in and on her mind, relevant to everything else. She keeps in mind the potential they have together.

The Shins – Girl Sailor Lyrics 14 years ago
Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her,
This time

I think that is saying... that she is hoping and saying to herself that her choices and actions will "sail her" and not "sink her," this time..

Owl City – Fuzzy Blue Lights Lyrics 16 years ago
He's confused. If you've ever felt torn between your emotions for a person, you know how frustrating it can be, and how sad it can make you. He wants his feelings to be easy to interpret, and he wants everything organized, like in "single file." He wants to be at peace instead of the battling in his heart. He loves her, and he doesn't want to see her go. Yet, at the same time he knows that he is going to move on for himself. He doesn't want to get hurt anymore, and he's coming to the realization that he sometimes has to make a hard decision to make himself happy, even though it may seem like the wrong choice at first.

Voxtrot – Whiskey and Water Lyrics 16 years ago
Hm.... here are a few corrections that might be worth looking into, but I could easily be wrong.

Cause I am idle, drunk, and we're*

And I am charged guilty of sin*

And polish off these battle cries*

But rather, I'm ready to live*

But albeit something to hide* (?)

And I came onto you for covering up*
We'll bury the dread*

Too happy to lie*

But won't you cling to me and make your key*

Voxtrot – Whiskey and Water Lyrics 16 years ago
Woooooooooooo, I tried getting the lyrics myself some time ago, but never quite got anywhere near as far as this good person did! I love a lot of these lyrics.
I believe this song is about a man who's unhappy with his situation in life. He wanted to go somewhere, and wanted to be with this certain girl, even though he knows he could do a lot better than her. He can't help his feelings for her though, and he's sad that she hurts him, when she knows as well as he does that she doesn't deserve him. He wants to "make it out with pride" which might be hard because this girl is tooling him, and although he should come to a "time for leaving," he "will love you instead." He wants her to feel the way he feels for her, but no matter what, he will still love her, because she is the only "joy I've known."
Might make sense because since he's worried and sad, he's resorting to whiskey to help his problems that can't end because he won't let his mind win over his heart.

The Reindeer Section – Your Sweet Voice Lyrics 16 years ago
This is so sad, because he's telling himself, that because of the pain she's caused him, he won't ever talk to her again, he couldn't, he wouldn't.

But then he finally admits to himself that he simply has to talk to her, because he wants to talk to her (no matter what she's done to him), because of his love for her.

Rogue Wave – Temporary Lyrics 16 years ago
What a beautiful song.
I think maybe he's saying he's sad about how everyone seems so fake, they're all just "by design."
Actually, who knows, I just made that up. This is probably something he wrote out of his personal experience, and only he will know what it means.

The Shins – Saint Simon Lyrics 16 years ago
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm....

"Nothing really holds a candle to the solid warmth you feel inside of you"

Saying that the feeling you get from being loved (Mercy, as he the speaker is calling her, after a trait of hers) is so much stronger than any candle releasing physical warmth you can get. Such a genius song!

Yesssss, what Sunset Rubdown said (good band by the way), and this song is just kinda like giving out ways to be happy, and saying that love will keep things going, and if you just actually want to grow in life, you will succeed.
Probably my favorite off of Together We're Heavy.

Belle & Sebastian – Desperation Made a Fool of Me Lyrics 17 years ago
Egh. About how he's tired of the people around him, his daily life, any imperfections that he's had enough of. He wonders if anyone else feels the same as him. He hates the fact that he feels responsible for how others act. He also hates how the wrong that others do to him, and their thoughts about him affects him so much.
But now that he's decided that he doesn't need to fit in with those around him (whom he despises) to be happy, he can go to his love, the one who makes him feel like he doesn't have to conform like everyone else, but be completely himself around, even though it's hard to remember to always do that.
He never thought he could care so little of others' opinions, and likes how freeing it feels.
His desperation to have others' approval is no longer making a fool of him?

Iunno, I bet that was all wrong.

Belle & Sebastian – There's Too Much Love Lyrics 17 years ago
Amazing song. Like many of their songs, they each have a personal meaning to me, but, I'll try to decipher the real meaning of this song.

I'm guessing it's about this boy who has fallen for this girl, who's quite his opposite, or so she thinks.
He is the typical perfectionist, organized, goody-goody, who is always following the rules. She is a rebel who goes her own way, against authority.
Now, the girl has expressed her opinion of him, and he's feeling down and wants to be secluded. He feels like no one truly knows who he is, only the first impression, and that if given the chance, he could break the rules, too-- if only he had a new start where no one knew him.
He thinks he's better than people make him out to be, and he's warning the girl of this, telling her that in the end, when he's counting on who is on his side, it would be for the good of the girl to be on that list.
But then he decides that there might just be no point in trying to change for the girl... He should just keep his head down and continue to be the passive and nice type of boy he really is, because he's already let the girl know how he feels, and he can't do anything about it anymore, nor can he suppress his feelings, no matter how different the two are.
Despite this indifference, he can't help himself from changing into who she would be interested in, something that he wishes he wouldn't do, but subconsciously, he can't stop it. He blames this new change on her, because she's the one who's made him do it. He feels many new emotions for her, all of which he can't help.
