| Imogen Heap – Hide and Seek Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I'm not sure anyone has said this specifically but I think the song is clearly about Her having an affair with a married man, and that relationship coming to an end. Perhaps happening in a public place..HIDE AND SEEK is the affair, sneaking behind people's backs etc trains [children] and sewing machines [wife] they were here first [as in before the affair began] oily marks replaces family pictures... the last few stanza are Her reaction that he is going back to his wife, with ransom notes being the threats to never let him see the kids again etc the lyrics above appear to miss a few important words, as in WHAT DID SHE SAY? at the end of the second last stanza... no? |

| The Chicks – Let Him Fly Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Patty Griffin has made the Dixie Chicks. Don't get me wrong, I love them, God, I adore them, but Patty has given them some spectacular songs. This is song is probably something all women [or anyone] can relate to. It has so much depth and strength and confidence and does it all so beautifully...anyone who says they takes inspiration from songs by Destiny's Child and other pro-women rnb singers etc need to listen to this song. This is an athem. |

| Björk – Bachelorette Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I would usually dissuade anyone from attempting to interpret Bjork as her lyrics are so complex and cyptic sometimes that absorbing your own personal interpretation from her work is the real quality a lot of fans find in her work. But well, since we're here... I take a lot of the song from the title. I see the first stanza as the girl describing that the physical aspects of her life are secondary but the other person is of such a character that that is all they notice, the whirl, just a physical attraction. I see stanza two as sex. How she felt sex would be something which would have brought them together, and brought the physical and mental r'ship together...but instead something that pushes them apart... The chorus is important...she again highlights that returning at night sex is the main component to the relationship but the tide, be that love or lust she doesnt yet know, will bring him back...and if he forgets her name she has lost him forever for him she is then nothing more than an object, not a person, not in love... "You are the one who grows distant when I beckon you near.." - this line alone sums up the song...she wants more and he refuses to commit... Each heart she grows for a relationship is broken as below the surface the water is still...there is no love. An eternal bachelorette... also could go into this in a socio-political way as to the way society holds vastly different opinions of single men and single women, men being somewhat free stallions and women being depressed and needy.... |
