| The Antlers – Wake Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song brings me back to this past summer, when a "friend" used me as an emotional landfill. He dumped all of his problems on me, and degraded me for months, and brought me so low. And I feel like this song is about someone who feels prisoner to another, which is how I felt. This friend made me feel like I had to help him with his problems, even if my sanity took a backseat. And I finally realized that he was using me, and I didn't deserve that. "Some patients can't be saved, but that burden's not on you. Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that." That holds so much weight with me. This song is scary accurate with my experience. "because the hardest thing is to not repent for someone else." This song is flawless. |

Best song on the album. I nearly CRIED when I heard it first. I think just because it's the last song on the album, people have overlooked it, but eventually everyone will realize how absolutely incredible this song is. |

| Cold War Kids – Golden Gate Jumpers Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Thick fog rolls in waves on the Golden Gate. I was checking my watch with 7 minutes in my shift, when I spot a black skirt on the rail. Straddling the bar like it's a quarter a ride. She's scared to jump, but terrified to stay. Walk to her slow, extend my hand with a smile and say, "Ma'am how was your day? Keep your eyes on my face! I want to help you if you'll let me." She's startled, I look forward. Wrap my arms around her legs. Pull her down to the sidewalk, we're both heaving for air and I say, Most folks think they'll hit the surface and never feel no pain. Water pulls you under. Back to the womb once again. Bodies float to the shore. Bloated purple and blue If sharks don't get to you first, Crabs will have their way with you. Those are the lyrics in the booklet. What a great album! |

| Cold War Kids – Tell Me in the Morning Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Stick around Greenleaf, now that she's gone Take my time when I go to bed, and I sleep long I'm getting over, mulling over I said "can't you just wait to tell me in the morning?" Slow it down Slow it down Laying low Save it for the morning I know that you would like, like to change me Make me softer to your voice like a baby I'm using caution, bet you're warning I wish you could wait to tell me in the morning Slow it down Slow it down Lay it low Save it for the morning I'm shouting questions, like a fist fight You tried to take me by the arm into the light I'm almost over, warring over I said "could you just wait to tell me in the morning?" Slow it down Slow it down Lay it low Save it for the morning And I'll tell you one more thing I confess to self deception Broke the lock and pried it open Then pretend to be stolen I am my own thief in the night Struggled for many years, just to get here To learn humility, and be my own teacher I guess it backfired, 'cause my motive was just to take and never care 'bout what I give Slow it down Slow it down Lay it low Save it for the morning I'm shouting questions like a fist fight you tried to take me by the arm into the light I'm almost over warring over I said "could you just wait to tell me in the morning?" Slow it down Slow it down Lay it low Save it for the moring And I'll tell you one more thing I confess to self deception Broke the lock and pried it open Then pretend to be stolen I am my own thief in the night |

| The Strokes – Ask Me Anything Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Maybe the writer of this song is shy. I mean he pretty much comes out and says it. Maybe he really does have something to say but is to shy or afraid to say so, so he feels worthless. |
