| Elliott Smith – Punch and Judy Lyrics

It seems that at first the song is talking about two people in a relationship who dont fit the standard normality. (ie. a gay or lesbian couple, a black and white couple etc). It makes sense in the first part of the song, but the second part doesn't really fit it. |

This is a hilarious song. It's the only song I've heard from Group X, so I hope the others are as funny. My friend put it on a mix cd that he made for me. I let my brother listen to it and he begged me to hear it every day after that for a month. Funny funny funny |

| Garbage – Silence Is Golden Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
|
This can apply to almost anyone who opens their mouth. Part is about hurting other people every time you talk, part is about being to scared to open up to people, part is about just trying to be safe from the world outside. Longing for someone to listen and understand, but not wanting to risk the shit that you have to go through to find that person. |

I think that it's about a breakup like Riko says, but it's her rising above it. She's decided to try looking at it from another angle. |

| Garbage – Only Happy When It Rains Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|

I agree with ic_assasain about “embracing your depression”. I think that humans just create problems to be more interesting. We "advance" so that we won’t be bored and kill ourselves because we have nothing better to do. That’s why we aren’t primitive stone-age people anymore. That’s why we have shrinks and medications for problems that we’ve lived with and dealt with before. We are living in a society that is never comfortable where it is. It’s never accepting of its faults; it either overlooks them or constantly tries to fix them depending on the severity of the problem. And I think that this song touches on that. |

I connect with this song even though its very pop-ish. I was feeling very suicidal at one point in my life, and this song reminds me of it. (A song that would better capture the pain I felt would be Papa Roach's "Last Resort") |

The s were at a point in their lives where they were like, "What are we doing?" and it was very depressing for them. So their mum bought them a wading pool, which Sara didn't use, but Tegan did and she wrote this song about it. |

| Tegan and Sara – Divided Lyrics

Once upon a time, T&S couldn't stand one another. Tegan got to spend a week apart from Sara by staying at a friends' house. She felt it was liberating, and it inspired her to write this song about Sara. And they lived happily ever after, the end. |

Written when one of the twins noticed the lack of trees in their yard, and the fact that it was mostly pavement. (That's not the entire story, but I cant seem to find any more about the song.) |

Tegan's doing. A man whose wife and son had died (and his dog was run over while he was at his son's funeral) sat next to Sara on a plane his son die. When he gets off the plane, he gives Sara his lunch which made Tegan think that "even though ty things happen, people can still be good." |

| Tegan and Sara – Living Room Lyrics

|

Its on the new cd... but you wrote that so long ago, maybe you've found the answer. I was listening to some boots of Tee and Esses concerts and heard Tegan talking about her new apartment and how she could see the "recluse" as she called her. I'm pretty sure that's the same person they're talking about in this song, but I could be wrong. |

Tegan wrote this after spending weeks on tour sleeping in the same bed as Sara. She felt suffocated and it inspired her to write this song. |

| Tegan and Sara – The First Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
|
This was written when Tegan walked in on cat burglars in her house. It was also her attempt at being more "positive" at that point in her life, when she was "just tired of focusing on that negative part, "I just seemed to be obsessed. I had no faith that anything was going to be good anymore. I was so sad for kids, so sad for the future. One day I just thought, I have to stop this, things are good. If you think good then you give out good energy, it was a reminder to myself to stay positive." |

I love this song! For me it's not just people in general that suck, it's one in particular. Very nice display of a good Staind song. |

Do these guys (gals rather) rock or what? And I'm not really into this type of music... so I guess that's saying something! |

I didn't know what relationship Buddy Holly and Mary Tyler Moore had. So I looked it up:
The Crickets wrote and performed the theme song used for The Mary Tyler Moore Show for seven seasons. |
