Foster the People – Helena Beat Lyrics 12 years ago
i feel like the song is about heroin, from the first line and on. "dead again" living in active addiction isn't living you are walking dead. the shady places line, pawning all you own to scrape by waking up sick not wanting to get high but needing to playing that game, "joints stuck" telling your self you don't have to live this way but beleiving its impossible to get just one day clean living in your own prison. as for the chorus maybe he's talking about nodding out idk

Matthew 18:21-23
New International Version (NIV)
The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant

21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.[a]

23 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

Passion Pit – Sleepyhead Lyrics 13 years ago
music is open to interpretation it doesn't matter what the artist says its about your allowed to apply it to your own life. Yea sometimes peoples interpretations can be stupid but i dont think that really is. I can't stand when people say "no youre wrong!"
after listenin to sleepy head by as tall as lions these lyrics make me think of a hospital room. everythings going to the beat of a heart, friends and family crowding the room waiting to see if the persons ok. the guy there all time so long his beard grows, when they died the doctors didn't know what to say. you can look at it however you want tho i only think about that when i read it now when i listen

Brand New – Play Crack the Sky Lyrics 13 years ago
what line did you get tatted? my favs prob,
"And I wish for one more day to give my love and repay debts
The morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west"
or, "What they call love is a risk..."

but idk every line in this song is great the whole thing is a huge metaphor i like the part about the light house, its like you can see a safe way out but its already too late.

Band of Horses – Marry Song Lyrics 13 years ago
This song makes me think of a friend who died recently. Especially from "lucky ones are we all till its over" We never really think about what we have until we've lost it and you just assume someone will always be around and around and around. I think of her family and how they were after her death, and i think of how she was always happy and would argue with me when i was cynical.
