| Lou Reed – A Gift Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Agree with the last comment. A lot of Lou Reed's songs take on characters that he'd met in the underbelly of New York. I feel like here he's just mocking a guy or type of guy that he would come across, thinking they're all that. |

| Cansei de Ser Sexy – City Grrrl Lyrics | 12 years ago |

| Joanna Newsom – Baby Birch Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| beautiful. Sounds as if its lament over an imagined child from a relationship that broke up, but now the sadness from the end of the relationship has become less important to her than the baby | |

| Spoon – The Mystery Zone Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This may be irrelevant but there's a line in the book 'Catcher in the Rye' where the character describes his room mate as a 'fresh-air fiend'. Britt has said in the past that he tends to make songs, and write the lyrics to fit the mood he's created, and flows with it, making it come across as obtuse to some. I personally think this song is just people striving to reach a place that they can't quite describe, "How come it feels so familiar when you never been there? How come it seems so unreachable you never tried to find never tired to find the mystery zone" ^ I like those lyrics especially, there's a nostalgic and well - mysterious feel in the ambiguity. Check out the demo version if its still on their site, its a great alternate |

| LCD Soundsystem – I Can Change Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I prefer to think the change from 'Never change' to 'I can change' as one person, who is so in love that he wouldnt change a thing, then when he realises she doesnt feel quite the same, he is willing to. I like to think of it that way, its more tragic, like he's desperate to cling on, and willing to sacrifice his principles. Or something |
