Keane – Spiralling Lyrics 15 years ago
I'm not a religious person in the least, but when I first read this song... it sounded like they wrote the lyrics from the perspective of "God". Well, the biblical god.

I fashioned you from jewels and stone
I made you in the image of myself
I gave you everything you wanted
So you would never know anything else

But everytime I reach for you, you slip through my fingers
Into cold sunlight, laughing at the things that
I had planned, the map of my world gets
Smaller as I sit here, pulling at the loose threads now

I don't really know if Keane is a religious group, and I like their music enough to not care, but this is the first thing that came to my mind...

God creating his world and watching people tear it apart, falling away from him, etc.

My two cents.

Delta Spirit – Children Lyrics 15 years ago
I must say this song was more amazing live than it was on the album... they do the drums so well and so literally and they just boom and the whole room shakes and it's just amazing.

Just from reading the lyrics, (I know nothing of what the band has or hasn't said), it seems like they're warning the future generations to not make the same mistakes his generation did. Don't follow blindly, don't put absolute faith in something just because you're forced into it...

Beyoncé – Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) Lyrics 15 years ago
Ok, so, everyone's really not liking this song and I must say I'm NOT usually into Beyonce or her style of music in general but for some reason this song has become a quilty pleasure I can't ignore...
I don't know what it is... I love the dance for whatever reason, seeing it on SNL made it more of a thing to enjoy, and repetative or not, the song is damn catchy after a few good listens.

Sue me.

The Ting Tings – That's Not My Name Lyrics 15 years ago
I was at the G Rock Sessions on Halloween (so, two days ago) and they performed 4 songs acoustic.
I don't care what anyone says about her at this point, because I was certainly skeptical about how their music would translate acoustically...

They rocked it. She does have quite a wonderful voice. I'd beg to say she almost sounds better live... most of my favorite bands do. But don't hate on her voice because it's actually quite lovely.

The Killers – Human Lyrics 15 years ago
I agree with one of the first comments on here...

It's saying 'dancer' as if it were it's own species...
Our species is human... So, are we 'human' or are we 'dancer'?

As for the meaning... I think there are broad number of interpretations... I let this song transform and mold in my mind... means different things when I listen to it at different times.

Keane – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Lyrics 15 years ago
Please... please... tell me both of y'all are joking?

This is a cover of an Elton John song... One of his most famous, actually...

Ladytron – Runaway Lyrics 16 years ago
I wonder if this is a spoof on Del Shannon's 'Runaway'...

"And I wonder, I wo wo wo wo wonder
Why a why why why why why
she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway
Run run run run runaway"

Jimmy Eat World – Gotta Be Somebody's Blues Lyrics 16 years ago
Let the water come
She's the only one I love
Let the fat man drop
She's the sweetest honey pot
Will they see the sky again?
Who will sing their blues for them?

Let the factories rust
She's the only thing I trust
Let the virus spread
She's the silk vine in my bed
Will they breathe our air again
Who will sing their blues for them?

When you're feeling moot [(I'm not postive it says this but there's no other word I can think of that works)]
You can have your conscious all you want
You can't say I do nothing, yet I put off

Where you gonna go
If they come for you?
Will there be someone
Left to sing your blues?

Where you gonna look
When they come for you?
Will there be someone
Left to sing your blues

Sorry, "engine used" is, indeed, "angel wings". I forgot to make these corrections when I found the lyrics on another site.

Aqualung – Pressure Suit Lyrics 16 years ago
These lyrics are wrong... the way I have them, they make sense to me.
I think he's found his "star"...
Doesn't think that being so high off in space she'll be able to feel even just how much he cares about her.
Doesn't want forgiveness for bringing her back down to where he can reach her... He'll be all she needs.

We're two spinning spheres, two spinning spheres
In a bed of stars
Silence is super
Staring into space I wonder where you are

You're all that I've ever needed
I know that you won't feel it

Drift out into darkness
Lost out on horizon
It's alright
It's alright
I'll be your respirator
I'll be your pressure suit
It's alright
It's alright

Finally clear, the upper atmosphere
Raging out your heart
Somewhere far beneath
Your pointed tongue and teeth
Is where you really are

Don't want to be forgiven
But drag you down from where you are

Drift out in the darkness
Lost out on horizon
It's alright
It's alright
I'll be your respirator
I'll be your parachute
It's alright
It's alright

Oooohhhh oh
Mmmm, ohhhh oh

I'll be your respirator
I'll be your pressure suit
It's alright, It's alright

I will not let you go...ohh

Two spinning spheres, they spin together
And they spin alone
I don't know how I can do this
I don't know how to get through
It's alright, It's alright
I can't stop loving you (10x)

It's alright, It's alright

I'll be your respirator
I'll be your pressure suit
It's alright, It's alright
I'll be your four leaf clover
I'll be your pressure suit
I'll be your engine used
I'll be your parachute
I'll be your running reason
I'll be your only reason
Ohhhh, ohhhhhh
I can't stop loving you (4x)
It's alright, It's alright

I'll be your respirator
I'll be your pressure suit

Shiny Toy Guns – Don't Cry Out Lyrics 17 years ago
"I was pretending
Your secret kiss of confidence
Was my escape
The perfect game to play.."
Also...
She's saying here that she was pretending that hooking up with him was her escape from everything else and that it was their secret. It was the perfect game to play because it was fool-proof, right?
Wrong.
Hence, why we have a song now.

Shiny Toy Guns – Don't Cry Out Lyrics 17 years ago
I think this song is about her being involved in a "friends-with-benefits" type of relationship.

"I can't forget what you've forgotten
All along
I've never been so alone"
So, they had a couple hook-ups and he saw it as nothing more than what they were doing physically and her emotions got the better of her. In the end she felt more alone than she did before.

"Ten nine eight and I'm breaking away
I'm all dressed up and I'm ready to play
Seven six five four and I'm all over you
Counting three two one and I'm having fun..."
This shows that even though it makes her feel so "alone", she still manages to get ready to go whenever he calls. She'll still hook-up with them have "fun" with him.

"Your facination
With naked walls of silk and skin
With no conditions
I needed you to notice....
That's all I wanted"
The naked walls of silk and skin... maybe he does this with many people.
No conditions- No strings attached, no emotions, just the physical aspect.
She wanted him to notice she really cared and wanted him to feel the same way.

Goldfrapp – Satin Chic Lyrics 17 years ago
See, this song feels different to me. This song makes me feel like she's got some skanky girl after her man

"Dressed up in lizard green
Celluloid seventeen
Lip gloss bold as blood"


"He's my man
Yeah he's my man
You don't understand"

Maybe not necessarily the exact meaning she meant for it to be... but that's what it came out as for me. And it works so well because my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend is being all sneaky and trying to get him back (which won't happen)... So, when I listen to this song I start thinking about her and saying
"Yeah, he's my man... you don't understand"
Haha
