| The Killers – Jenny Was a Friend of Mine Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| Maybe someone's said it, but the murder trilogy is easily about The Preppy Murder of Jennifer Levin back in the 80s. The case lines up perfect and the name is the same. Surely not a coincidence, right? This song especially, no motive for the crime. Just some rich, jealous, drug addicted prep kid. | |
| Arcade Fire – Intervention Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
To me, this song is dealing with the corruptness of religion. I will use Christianity as an example although it's not specifically that. It's not calling out religion, not even calling out its followers, to me it's calling out those people who go to church every week, say their prayers, read their bibles, send their kids to VBS, but never gain anything. They don't learn from it, they don't take anything from it (you take what they give you and you keep it inside). They do it out of pure fear. They want to go to heaven, so they follow the rules. "I care not if you kneel" also kind of confronts this. Religion is not about following the rules, it's about truly believing in your god, truly following your gods rules, not the stuff branded onto the religion. But I do see political meaning in this, too. I think it addresses both. Mainly it addresses fear. You're scared, so you conform. Things are a wicked cycle. |

| Thriving Ivory – Light Up Mississippi Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| The lead singer said that this song was written about a girl named Mississippi (a fictional girl) who kind of grew up in a bad place and is trying to break free of that. One of my favorite songs. | |
