| Tennis – My Better Self Lyrics

I agree with Nutinbutluv2giv's lyric corrections, but I have a different take on it. It feels like a love lost situation, where things have dissolved and this is about the acceptance of it. Where leaving things unsaid and really relying on 'symbols' (something senseless, with a purposely function, that cannot be met) or the implied had kept things together at that point but actual words led to something that was once there, to go. Perhaps learning their respective meanings were completely different. |

| St. Vincent – Just the Same But Brand New Lyrics

I love the ephemeral nature of this song. I used to think this song was about moving on from something and probably in away it still is. But from 'checking for codes and clues' to 'I'm just the same but brand new to you' I feel like its about a friendship that slowly blossomed into something more, and the lightness you feel once that happened. |

I agree with the anxiety part mentioned by asha1979, but I think it's couched within a fear of vulnerability teamed with a sort staunch independence that doesn't want to sacrifice their own identity and freedom when it comes being really and truly involved with as person. I feel the song illustrates a different kind of love, one that is not atomic picture perfect, but adapted to work with an individual's insecurities and fears, which I feel is more honest. |

| Cold Cave – Confetti Lyrics

I think 'if you're looking to a point for all that you do' is 'and you're looking for the point to all that you do'.
And 'I keep a fist clenched still' is 'I keep my fist clenched still'.
And I want to say 'it's an ordinary ...???... on the outside' is 'it's the ordinary people who look good on the outside' but I'm not sure. (I love this song to fairly unnatural levels, thank you for posting this!) |

I personally prefer the expression 'thieves and snakes need homes', such a simple way to express that sympathy should even be extended to abhorrent characters. I suppose bees can be menacing too... |
