| Bon Iver – Holocene Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I agree with this a lot....listened to it atop the bluffs in my area. Made the experience so surreal. The line that gets me every time is "And at once I knew I was not magnificent" I think it could be about realizing how small we are on this beautiful planet. | |

| Stars – Take Me to the Riot Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
To me this song is really simple and reflects the way I felt when I first heard this song - and every time after. The video further solidifies my opinion. I think it's just about a kid moving to a bigger city. I think the "riot" is a metaphor for city life. Take me to where the fun is - bars, friends, night life and let's have a riot of a time - so to speak. I think the for the most part the verses are in the view of the kid from a small town in the big city, I think the slick girls and sick boys verse is the kid noticing the social interactions at the bar or city or perhaps watching from afar some prostitutes. The kid also has an issue with an ex love or friend, maybe he went to the city after a breakup "You sprung me, I'm grateful" meaning he decided to go away due to that. "You'll have me back but it's gonna take a week." maybe reflecting on them getting back together and the time it would take to get back home. I really think this song is just about a kid trying to find himself in a new big city after living in a small town his whole life. The new things he notices, and some introspection about his former girlfriend, kind of like he wants to go back home and chase that relationship, but he also doesn't want to do that. |

| The Antlers – Atrophy Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think this song has to do with the atrophy of marriage. A controlling, paranoid wife or significant other. "You've been writing me rules, shrinking maps and redrawing borders." "I've been hiding my voice and my face and you decide when I eat." "Threats of castration for crimes you imagine when I miss your call." This sounds like a disastrous relationship, one I feel like I was in before. I don't think this has anything to do with any kind of doctor/patient relationship, it seems many people look way too much into the lyrics on songmeanings.net. I think it's clearly about a relationship. "In your dreams I'm a criminal, horrible, sleeping around. When you're awake I'm impossible constantly letting you down." I felt those exact words in my last relationship. |
