| Vienna Teng – Stray Italian Greyhound Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Well, Vienna said she saw Obama speaking before he announced his candidature for president, and she felt charmed and really attracted to his ideals of change and such. Being that back then Barack wasn't the president, or even running for it, the "Stray Italian Greyhound" may refer to the idea of someone or something so charming and apparently deserving of greatness being in a not so good, or somewhat unexpected place for such a person. Just my take though. | |
| Tori Amos – Hey Jupiter Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
A small comment here -- she's not questioning anyone's sexuality in this song. "Hey Jupiter, nothing's been the same. So are you gay, are you blue? Thought we both could use a friend to run to." The second line "So are you gay, are you blue?", she's not referring to the dude's sexuality (or herself), there's a "hidden" (yet pretty literal) meaning to that, shes coined a phrase using both a literal meaning and a metaphore, where "gay" comes to take its original meaning of "happy", while the "are you blue" part is indeed asking him if he is sad -- "Are you happy? Are you sad?" by asking that, shes showing that, though brokenhearted, she still cares about the man she fell in love with, which is further evidenced by how she calls him Jupiter thorough the song: She has feelings for him, even when he turned her into a wreck. |
