| Foo Fighters – Best Of You Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| These are meaningful lyrics that can apply to a wide range of experiences and it sounds like the tone fluctuates between speakers...it can be interpreted as if he's addressing the person he lost, or a monologue with himself, or both. I think it reflects that horrible position sometimes you find yourself in that "you are damned if you do...damned if you don't" scenario, and simply can't seem to win. He could be talking about a lover or a friend. Either way, it seems like life with her, or the experiences he's been with through with her, have been painful and sorrowful but letting her go has brought him even more heartache. He is given the pretty disheartening choice to either RESIST the urge to go after her, seek her out, give it another shot (which deeply inside he craves for desperately just like anybody craves for a person loved and lost) or fulfill this prophecy, reach out to her again, and risk continuing the cycle of abuse and pain that this loved one tends to cause him. | |
| Kim Carnes – Bette Davis Eyes Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This is also one of my favorites. To keep it short, it was written in dedication to Bette Davis and the latter stated she was truly flattered by the song and was grateful to Carnes for the tribute (or so I've read). It captures the essence of an angel-faced temptress who appears "pure as NY snow" and lures men in with her wit and charm, but as they are drinking into her passion, she is studying them closely and exposing their weaknesses...Eventually, just when they are transfixed into her seductive games, she uses these weaknesses against them, "rolls them like dice", and when she gets what she wants from them...leaves them hoping they are pleased with the crumbs of her affection; a take-no-prisoner seductress. |
