| Blur – Pressure on Julian Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Also Julian Cope's known for taking LSD regularly for a long time and it's had a harsh effect on his sanity. "It's colourful, it's colourful, but it washes you out." So perhaps there was pressure on Julian to take drugs so that he would write far out songs & act like a spaced-out rock star and all that began to take its toll. Or perhaps he took LSD to deal with the pressure there was on him to write more hits for the Teardrop Explodes. |

| R.E.M. – Hollow Man Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I'm starting to think this is autobiographical (no, really) and that Stipe is apologizing that REM sort of lost their way on UP, Reveal and Around The Sun and that he was hollow because he couldn't find much to say recently that was meaningful or true to himself ("for saying things I didn't mean and don't believe"). And he's thanking fans for sticking with them despite this: "you had placed your trust in me, I went upside down", "I can't believe you held your ground", "you trusted me, I want to show you", etc. And "I emptied out the room in 30 seconds flat" reflects REM's popularity dropping. But then again, it could just be to 1 person in his life instead of all of us. |

| The New Pornographers – All for Swinging You Around Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
How about... - 'you' being the guitar? I get all this in my life just for swinging my guitar around a stage. - 'while tearing off another page of loose change outrage': tearing off another page from my notebook of random ideas and complaints and turning them into songs. |
