| Moby – The Last Day (with Skylar Grey) Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
I think it is a song about someone who finally found the happiness in living in his final moments alive. Someone who worked all their life, trying to find more to their life... Perhaps thinking working for something, accomplishing something would give him some sense of purpose or satisfaction. But the happiness he seeks is actually present in the little, obvious things that he's been ignoring. It is bittersweet. He does find that happiness, but he only has a little bit of time to enjoy it. |

| Band of Skulls – Honest Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| Seems like in any relationship (not necessarily romantic) "you gotta be honest" if you want the other person to know how you're feeling, but "you gotta be guarded" if you don't want to get screwed over, taken advantage of, or get hurt.... Is this a lack of trust, or a fear of being betrayed... | |

| I thought the lyrics were "Sometime's I'm up, I'm almost in heaven." | |

@[chachalola:1538] Couldn't have said it better. Whenever I listen to this song, I can't help but imagine finding a dead body in a bath tub. "...Keeping the bath warm..." Someone committed suicide... or had too much to drink and fell asleep in the bath. |

@[edwiness:186] Not just that. The entire verse should be: "Everybody hurts in ways, I can't relate. Everybody hurts in ways, I can relate to my predicament." And instead of "when you're afraid to hit the ground" it should be "when you fear to hit the ground," but that's just me being nit-picky. The lyrics are a lot easier to understand when you listen to one of their live sessions. |

| Emmy the Great – Dinosaur Sex Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
Neonatal teeth are actually a thing. Look it up. There's quite a bit of folklore surrounding neonatal teeth. There's an old wives tale that says a mother will soon become pregnant again if her baby is born with teeth. There is also a quote from Shakespeare's Richard the Third, "teeth hadst thou in thy head when thou wast born to riguity thou camest to bite the word." Meaning this condition would guarantee conquest of the world. |

| St. Vincent – Digital Witness Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| I agree with twoplanets. The song isn't just talking about social media, but mass media in general and how it influences our way of thinking and lifestyle. | |
| The Rolling Stones – Brown Sugar Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think this is the most accurate description. I'd like to add that the lines "how come you taste so good" refers to cunnilingus and "just like a young girl should" refers to underage sex. |

| I always thought this song was about eloping and leaving your family and friends behind. | |
| Wild Beasts – The Devil's Crayon Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
The way I see it, the singer is warning someone about being manipulated by "the Devil" but is a little too late, as the addressee already trusts the devil. The lines "we are so many tiny pieces, clambering hands, moulded dough" express how weak and insignificant they (humans) are in front of the devil... and they are already being manipulated (including the singer). The devil's children (people who have fallen for the devil) will use the devil to live easy lives and escape from their own burdens (guilt, morals etc) but will ultimately pile up and become heavier... What or who the devil is, is questionable. It could be the real devil, or an expression for human vices... or both "the way you say her name I want mine said the same devil" suggests the devil is something of a comfort tool.... and the singer wants to be that comfort tool, as s/he won't increase the "load" of burdens. I keep thinking of alcoholism... people who drown their sorrows in alcohol, and their family / friends who wish they would stop drinking and rely on them for solace. |
