Joanna Newsom – Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
To me, it is more like …
She loves him, but he says no to her. He says he still loves her or that he still wants to be with her as a friend, but she can’t accept that. She watches him go, and sometimes she can accept it and sometimes she can’t. She tried to do as she pleases and go on, but she can’t and now she’s on her knees. He is such a part of her, something that she thinks about all the time. He is everything she wants he’s “starry”, and she just keeps falling away. She can’t get over him even though she wants to. And she asks something that she loves, the “clam, cab, cockle, cowrie” from the ocean that she loves, to look at her… she wants to know that something can love her back. |

Cat Power – Islands Lyrics

exactly, she's remembering her love, who's gone. She wants him to come back to her because this new "captain' isn't even close to him, "But if you're not coming back, I will sleep eternally".Nobody else can replace him. |

Feist – Now at Last Lyrics

I see it as being about how he loved her so much and she loved him too, but she took it all for granted and messed things up leaving him for someone else or soemthing happened ... and "now at last" she knows she'll never get that true love back again. |

I kind of see this song as being about a couple, and they break up and he moves away. She imagine shim waiting for her to come to him, but she knows he isn't and she knows that he won't come back to her. |

The Dears – There Goes My Outfit Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
This really is an amazing song. I see it as he is talking about a girl who has just ended their relationship and he can't understand why and he can't accept it. "You stood there and you said nothing
That's what shattered my heart to bits", thats what happened and then he says "I'm in the dirt and in the gutter", so he's depressed and feeling alone. He keeps saying "clearly this isn't my life" and it's like he's denying the whole thing, and its so hard for him to accept because he loved her.
i don't know... thats just what i see |

The Dears – You and I Are A Gang of Losers Lyrics

Yeah that really works, especially considering the title of the song. But ofr some reason I see it as being really romantic. I see it as being about soul mates, two people who were meant to be together because they "got the same heart", and while they are together nothing can bother them, upset them, ot mess them up because they are so strong together. It talks about fever, massacre, animals, blood ... but they ar eon the "ousite of everything" because none of that can end their love for eachother. |

Elliott Smith – Memory Lane Lyrics

I kind of see the mental house thing as being a metaphor for something like how his past is upsetting and "Theres a place we all go when we lose the chase" is like when everythign is going good and them something bad happens that reminds you of your past, and how it's happened before. You get wrapped up in your past and your memories and it's not a good kind of remembering, it haunts him - "everybody's scared of this place".
"i hope you're satisfied, isolation pushes past self hatred, guilt and shame" I think that this line kind of shows how it's about a past relatioship, maybe this is after a break-up ... and he's remembering how it's all happened before and he's upset about it all ... and is wrapped up in all of the happy moments they had together and now that its relaly over it haunts him.
Maybe im twisting this around too much, I don't know. haha |

It's a really beautiful song ... one of my favourites, I am surprised no one has really commented on it yet. It's one of the first Feist songs I ever heard. |
