Emilie Autumn – What If Lyrics 16 years ago
i agree with mbunky. the girl feels trapped and she feels like shes not getting everything out of life that she can because of her relationship. shes saying if you dont see what i can be then you will never know me.
i love this song.

Emilie Autumn – Swallow Lyrics 16 years ago
This has been my fav EA song for quite sometime now. I think that narrator has been burnt in a relationship before, and now she's finding it hard to trust this new person in her life. She's been manipulated before and now wishes to make all her own decisions. "I don't need a minder, I've made up my mind go away."
"The brighter the light, the darker the shadow" the more she trusts this person and lets her guard down, the harder it is going to be for her if he does burn her like the last one did.
I think most of this song is about fear. She's afraid of what could happen should she "swallow" and take the leap. She's afraid of being hurt, and she says that no it wont hurt, because she can get over oh so easily so don't be scared. And she talks about cutting out the photographs and shit. its like to get over the one who hurt her she needs to completely forget his face, voice, smell everything.
"I'll take a deep, deep breath, but I'll come back to haunt you if I drown."
She's going for it. Going out on her own or whatever and facing her fear, but if she gets burned again itll be the last time.

Bright Eyes – Down in a Rabbit Hole Lyrics 18 years ago
COCAINE!

"I heard you fell into a rabbit hole
Covered yourself up in snow
Baby, tell me, where'd you go
For days and days?"

Someone started doing coke and disappeared for some time.

"Did they make you stay up all night?
Did they paint your face that pastey white?
You're thirsty but your appetite gets chased away"

Coke makes you stay awake. You get really pale and you get dehydrated and you don't want to eat.

"Sun turns us to stone
It's a cloudy day
But we still can't go home
I've been out that cellar door
Until we see the moon
We're invisible"

Can't go home yet because they're still up on coke?
Maybe the sun bothers them/him because the drug increases body temperature

"No one ever takes the garbage out
A neighbor kid gets dared to touch the house
He runs back only to announce
"There's no one home""

"Cause we paint the foil with the flame
Smear the soda, taste butane
For every fear that can't be named
To calm you down"

I'm not sure. Maybe he combines coke and heroin to speedball. Heroin makes the down a lot better. but its really dangerous to combine the two.

"Your heart starts skipping steps
So you're farther gone
Than you might expect"

Coke and crack makes your heart rate increase.

"If your thoughts should turn to death
Gotta stomp 'em out
Like a cigarette"

The low after coke is pretty harsh. A person could expierence depression, apathy. Often stuff that they are used to, just more intense. thus making the person want to do more coke/crack and starting an addiction.

Idk. I'm just guessing.

The Smashing Pumpkins – 1979 Lyrics 18 years ago
i met my best friend through this song.
he was playing it on guitar under a tree and asked if anyone actually knew what he was playing, and of course i did. we've been close ever since. and then we dated and it was our song and then we broke up. and its still our song. the first few lines meant so much to me. "live wire straight up off the street/you and i should meet." idk why but i still get sad when i listen to it.
the song has to be about growing up and meeting new people and expierencing new things.
"that we don't even care as restless as we are/ we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
i feel like that is talking about destructive decisions made during the summer. its summer you don't care. you can do anything with out consequences. like you only live once, so live life to the fullest. thats just how i take it. the song must be about sex, drugs and living life. its just seems right. idk why.

The Smashing Pumpkins – Bodies Lyrics 19 years ago
the way i see it is that each time you fall in love a part of you grows and when that relationship dies, that part of you dies. it commits suicide. so by falling in love you essentially kill little pieces of yourself

The Smashing Pumpkins – Porcelina of the Vast Oceans Lyrics 19 years ago
i think its interesting that this and Behold! the Nightmare both have lines about fathoms. "I've faced the fathoms in your deep" and "and whispers fathomed deep inside my own"
both these lines seem to be about digging inside of yourself and others and really learning the deepest darkest secrets.
although thats only one line and i do agree with rainbowdemon and looiz about interperting the whole song.

The Smashing Pumpkins – By Starlight Lyrics 19 years ago
my ex boyfriend and i used to listen to this all the time. he used to say that i had dead eyes. (my eyes are almost black). he meant it more symbolically than that i think. i get apathetic and look at the world with "dead eyes" so in a way i think its a love song about an unobtainable girl who cannot see the things in front of her bc "her eyes were as vacant as the seas". she turns a blind eye to the world.

The Postal Service – The District Sleeps Alone Tonight Lyrics 19 years ago
for some reason this song always reminds me of a hospital. it doesnt make sense. and it wont. but the "gaudy apartment complex" and "vinyl sticker with big block letters" it just says "hospital" to me. like the girl had a mental disorder and ended up institutionalized, but he knows that he was the one worth leaving, (maybe he made it worse?)
this song used to make me cry.

Death Cab for Cutie – Transatlanticism Lyrics 19 years ago
i never understood "i need you so much closer" until i broke up with my boyfriend of almost a year. i was crushed and listened to this song on repeat for about 3 days. i really understood then what it he meant by that line. i think its a song about longing.
