Caveman – In the City Lyrics 7 years ago
We're in the city
She came around at the right time
And if you need me
All this was made for a good time

Wait just to see me
I'll be around for a long time
And if you need me
All this was made for a good time

It's like the ones who only know...
Seems like the ones who always go
And I don't want to know

We're in the city
She came around at the wrong time
And if you need me
All this was made for a good time

It's like the ones who only know...
Seems like the ones who always go
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
I don't want to know

The Smiths – Reel Around the Fountain Lyrics 7 years ago
@[Loves_young_dream:13679] There's a lot of projection there, but we all project our thoughts and emotions onto each other. Withal, that's an impressive missive you've devised

Twin Peaks – Irene Lyrics 10 years ago
the speaker's perception of his world is bleak. he realises it's solely his world perception, so he asks someone, perhaps one he loves and trusts, what she sees; do you see what i see?

"he" in the penultimate line, is spoken in third person, that is, referring to himself. a bleak outlook can render thoughts of offing ones self, or, at least wishing yourself dead. but again, the inquiry; someone loves him. it appears to be her. what does she think? does she still wish him dead after seeing his world?

finally, the acceptance of here and "Now"

Islands – Don't Call Me Whitney, Bobby Lyrics 10 years ago
don't call(or judge) me (as) who/what you think i am, it only reflects what you think of yourself (or whom/what you don't realise you are)

Islands – Don't Call Me Whitney, Bobby Lyrics 10 years ago
best entry here, imo, because users interpretation is stated as such; whereas i see most ppl attempting to get the "right" interpretation, entirely forgetting (perhaps simply not aware) that discourse on literature, especially lyrical in nature, is exclusively subjective. lyric meanings are not a contest or science experiment. any artist telling you otherwise might consider a different profession.

fair retort throughout, until the very last line where it fails

Counting Crows – Mr. Jones Lyrics 11 years ago
with respect to Adam's personal explanations of the lyrics, my personal rendering deals with applying the dictionary definition of "jones"
jones /jōnz/
Noun: A fixation on or compulsive desire for someone or something, typically a drug; an addiction.
Verb: Have a fixation on; be addicted to.

with this, a possible reading can be extrapolated where two personalites from the same person, one being the speaker in active addiction, the other being the real person, both staring at their lives, concerned with the future, and engaging in battle between who is more worthy of beauty and happiness.

Bob Dylan – Shelter from the Storm Lyrics 12 years ago
i guess having a command of language doesn't necessarily lend to having a command of voice.

Bob Dylan – Shelter from the Storm Lyrics 12 years ago
however, to avoid being pointlessly pointless...i the progression on verses as loosely connected thoughts, perhaps a series of reflections, not necessarily related to one another, but with a consistent common thread of unconditional love.

Bob Dylan – Shelter from the Storm Lyrics 12 years ago
all i know is that dylan always welcomed listeners to interpret his work as it suited the listeners own personal truth. he preferred things open and boundless.

Zoo Kid – Out Getting Ribs Lyrics 12 years ago
i think that second last verse is much less tame than one would expect...

"but girl just lean over and say
you'll lay me down
and pull me out
you take my crown
submerse the doubt"

Animal Collective – My Girls Lyrics 14 years ago
the latest fancy things, fads, norms, etc. is what he makes reference to.
and if you listen intently...

"...Or to take part in the FRESHEST WAVE,
But to provide for mine who ask
I will, with heart, on my father's grave..."
