Bibio – Lovers' Carvings Lyrics 12 years ago
love is real. and love can fade. but that doesnt mean it never existed.
when love is real and deep enough it is carved, into something, our souls, our bodies, our minds. just because one fades and another comes your way, doesnt mean the love between you never existed. maybe the words are gone, you no longer say i love you, but that doesnt mean the times you did say it they had no meaning, they did, in that moment, have meaning.

The Summer Skinny – The Great American Napkin Lyrics 13 years ago

"i never stopped to see what broke
your only thought was dont stop kicking away, away"

i know with me, i let love go, i got as far away from it before i could get too close, or in too deep. in a way i was trying to protect myself from losing him or feeling too much pain, because if i let go then maybe i could feel nothing rather than feeling like i lost him, i think this only hurts you more. because love is love, no matter how strong, it hurts to have it taken away, aswell as having the pain of thinking "what if?, what if i never left?, could it have lasted forever, could i have never hurt at all?"

"your heart will lead you away, away, but your heart wont know."

i think this means your heart, or you, will subconciously always try to protect itself, keeping itself away from love to keep it away from pain, it will keep you from getting in too deep, but you will never know what could have been, or how much you will end up hurting in the end, you just wont know unless you let yourself love.

"she wrote the great american napkin but she sold the rights away, away"

maybe this is saying she fell in love with this idea, but realized she was getting to attached, in too deep, and like her heart, she let it go, she let it go away. but she would never know what could have become of it, and by the time she sees the beauty it pocessed, it was already gone. it was somebody elses. you love, you lose, you learn. but you can love again, and this time youll know, this time your heart will know.

Modest Mouse – 3rd Planet Lyrics 13 years ago

"Your heart felt good
It was dripping pitch and made of wood"

^it feels good to love and be loved by this women, her heart feels good inside of him considering its a boat floating and sinking in his sea of blood. "it was dripping pitch" means whatever was keeping the wood waterproof is slowly disappearing, causeing her lover to let go and be able to sink within him; to fully blend into him, become one within

____

"And your hands and knees
Felt cold and wet on the grass to me
Well, outside naked, shivering, looking blue
From the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon"

^he is remembering making love, so simply and beautifully. not a care for anything but eachother. its just their bodies and their souls meeting, while the light shines on them, even in the night, its the real light that will shine on them; the sunlight. isaac brock relates real-light/sunlight to being the women he truly loves in the song "she ionizes & atomizes". sunlight reflects off of the moon which causes it to glow on earth at night, so by beingn in the moonlight(which is actually sunlight) is like being in real, honest love. the four lines above are so raw, and even though i hate being cold and wet, it sounds like the most beautiful place on earth.

"Well, a third had just been made and we were swimming in the water
Didn't know then, was it a son, was it a daughter"

^they made love and it was not just the two of them anymore. "a third had just been made"=they created a child, not knowing then if it was going to be a boy of girl

____

"When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming
Around in the water in the oceans in our bodies
And another had been found, another ocean on the planet
Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic"

^he remembers how beautiful this was, they made love and created another creature. this create was now swimming inside of her(like sperm swim..), and she was swimming inside of her lover because her heart is a ship inside of him. its very confusing, but its as if you are connected to the ones you truly love and create. since everyones blood is an ocean, and they just created another human being, well that new human being is another ocean.

____

"Well, the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were
And the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth"

^i think this is just saying that lives goes on, after you die your soul will continue on, and reincarnate. but maybe he is saying it in not so much of a positive note..because no one wants to always end up where they were. we become a baby then grow up and eventually die and become an angel, but come back as a baby and do the same thing over and over again. personally i agree with this being a negative thing, why cant we just live our lives for what they are instead of waiting to make it to heaven and come back again?

____

"Baby cum angels fly around you
Reminding you we used to be three and not just two"

^ here is where i believe this song also is about having a miscarriage. they were once three in one because the baby was never born and was just inside of her. but when the baby died inside of her they became just two. "baby cum angels fly aorund you" could mean she had an encounter with a ghost/angel which was once their baby.

____

And that's how the world began
And that's how the world will end

^i think this just means that, like a circle, we never truly end, and therefore every moment can be both the begining and the end. its like saying life begins with death just as much as life ends with death.

"Everything that keeps me together is falling apart
I've got this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over"

^Everything he believes in is being proven wrong, by himself. its like, he wrote this song and it makes sense to him which is strange and weird to him because he had always not believed in god. i think he is saying that he believes in reincarnation even though he does not want to. isaac has written before in other songs, like "exit does not exist", about how he does not believe in god or having faith in religion. i think by writing about how god does not exist IS his art of fucking people over. i remember someone asking if they should still listen to modest mouse after realizing "exit does not exist" was about isaacs disbelief in god, to them it fucked them over cause they really enjoyed the music but still wanted to have faith. so maybe when he wrote this song he realized something that caused him to question everything that has held him together, which was his music.

Taking Back Sunday – MakeDamnSure Lyrics 14 years ago
about fear, fear of love and fear of loss
he loves this girl but is afraid to get "too close"
all he wants is to break her down, because all she does is make him go crazy, and make him trip over her words, and hes afraid to fall to hard and then lose her, so he wants to break her down so badly, in the worst way, until she needs him,until she cant survive without him, so hes making damn sure she will never leave, never get too far from him, he needs control and right now she has it, she hollows out his hungry eyes, she feeds his temptations and wants, but he wants her to need him, and hes making damn sure she will.

Kings of Leon – Soft Lyrics 14 years ago
soft
"i'm passed out in your garden"-clearly he is drunk

"i'm in, i can't get off, so soft"- he is captivated by her, he wants to "get off", but when your drunk its almost impossible to get hard.."so soft"

"i'd pop myself in your body"- if he was hard he would, without hesitation, fcuk her

"i'd come all over your party but i'm soft"- and im pretty sure you can figure this one out

all in all its pretty disgusting, yet i like the starting verse(maybe about missing her, he used to see her everyday, and he must have done everything for her-"i danced aorund your fucking soul")

but the beat and flow of the music makes up for some of the lyrics, agreed?
