Beach House – Apple Orchard Lyrics 15 years ago
strange. i thought it was this.



Lay your hand on me

Apple orchard

Take your time

You can settle down

Hold your breath

'Cause you're, you are nothing

Hold your hand on me

For a while

The Innocence Mission – I Never Knew You From The Sun Lyrics 15 years ago
it's about how much someone can love another.
Without the sun everything would mean nothing cause we'd die.
there is no difference between the sun and the one she loves, to her, they are the same- she cant see the two apart as this person is the reason she is alive.

ok, so it's almost over-emotional- but i i've become cold-hearted -this is the most beautiful song about how much someone can love another.

Zumpano – The Party Rages On Lyrics 16 years ago
Before and on the day that we met I wasn't prepared for you yet
but you had complete mastery
I gave up, I surrendered


The night before the day that i knew that there was no more me and you
I cornered you and asked you to just

sit your ass, sit your ass down.

So sorry, I swear, that parties rage on without you there

the times that brought us up are as square
as pick almost anywhere
Why do you wanna go back there?
Give up and surrender

The Sunday paper's all shout your name
but you say you're still the same
still the cold-blooded bastard
that just kick your ass
kicked your ass down


You're sorry, you swear that parties rage on without you there.

The party rages on inside our lives
and no one's invited
except you
occasionally me and a few close friends
who just happen to be in the neighbourhood
it's B.Y.O B.Y.O.B it's free

If you know what i mean

Before and on the day that we met I wasn't prepared for you yet
but you had complete mastery

The National – Brainy Lyrics 16 years ago
he's been going crazy because of this girl.
he wants to let her go to get out of the water and stuff. but she keeps changing her mind. doesnt know if he should stay with her cause she wants him back or do the healthy thing and move on.
he's basically going round the twist because of her. and he seems happy doing it!!

Fionn Regan – Abacus Lyrics 17 years ago
He used to chase her room, something that happened in the physical world. But if they leave they wont have to cope or adhere to the stuff that people have to to get through the day, the arguments that people have...

These two have days and a life that isnt numbered or timed.


everything that happens, the screaming grass, the midnight cars, the chasing, honey dripping, drinking ,the bodies under the floor-death, all the things that shouldnt be happening.
they just leave it all behind.

Patrick Park – Thunderbolt Lyrics 17 years ago
the holes in the house and in her arms, would be how her heart is burning out.
home is where the heart is, and she wears her heart on her sleeve, and her soul and heart is so full of fire and guns that it burns everything. The coldness of the house is slowly destroying this girl.
then someone comes, to share the heat, and shares it with her. he's not perfect either, either goes too far or not far enough, but nothing's perfect.and he'll save her from the house that will fall down.

'nothing to hold' after all this she has nothing left.still.
i dont know if he's just repeating that for the song factor, but if not, then it leaves a really sad song even sadder. there's no happy ending.
aaaaa...

Patrick Park – Your Smile's a Drug Lyrics 17 years ago
He wishes he never fell in love with this girl, he wants to tell her, but his courage has failed him and gone far away. The girl is obviously not ok, and she's damaged.

He wants her to admit that she likes him and that she's in love, cause he's bound to her with chains, which are tightening. And they're hurting both her and him if things get left as they are...

and he wants her to tell him. but to her, it would be an expression of weakness and need. Something she cant handle. thus she acts tough to stop things from becoming too real and desperate i guess.

totally in love with him.

A.C. Newman – Come Crash Lyrics 17 years ago
i kinda thing that Christine's dead ' the 'sirens came after we left'
constantly repeating how lucky they are. the guy's sad, she cant sleep in his bed, but she'll crash on the floor. he's telling her 'Once again, you're a godsend.'...
i dont know, it so confusing. and really sad.

A.C. Newman – Better Than Most Lyrics 17 years ago
this song is so amazing, the melody is like a virus, it NEVER LEAVES YOUR MIND!
ok, so i think its about trying to be intimate, but finding that its so hard to tell her, that he understands her completely. he knows how she feels, the hurt she recieves he understands cause it hurts ..him. so sweet.

''I want to explain why I never learned to fly''
To tell her that he never loved anyone until her. and why. and so he tells her as he's better than most.
wow.

A.C. Newman – On The Table Lyrics 17 years ago
ok. its a given that we LOVEEE the song, as we have bothered to look up the lyrics.
so it would be totally nice to read how others have interpreted it not how much you like it without at least giving a guess at what the hell its about.
even if its completely not correct. cause you know, their opinions.
ok, so, im thinking its about how the things in life that are 'common' are becoming 'number one' as opposed to something important like justice. Which is wrong.

'do re mi , innocent'
its as simple and easy as singing 'do re mi' , saying that you're 'innocent'
but what they are is far from that. 'copping a plea as they went -innocent' .
everything is false. like the blondes.
makes TS Eliot seem kinda understandable

Elliott Smith – The Enemy Is You Lyrics 17 years ago
when people are they're own worst enemy, there isnt much someone else can do or say,
and the most favorite person to hate is yourself. and the broken machine is your own mind as you're whole life is upside down. thats why you hate yourself so much. so you put yourself through hell to stop the real issues from hurting so much. thats why you block it out. cause its too much to deal.

elliott is playing with the narrative, i cant tell if its about him or someone else...

Elliott Smith – No Name #1 Lyrics 17 years ago
when he played this song live , the meleody was the most perfect thing. for me it was much better than on the album. I dont know why, it was much more simple and beautiful with just his guitar and i sounds much less country-ish.
i dont know , it just sounds like its an everlasting melody thats always been there. but it hasnt. thats why he is so so so special. and i miss him.

Elliott Smith – I Figured You Out Lyrics 17 years ago
'addiction to fame' always seemed out of place in the song to me, bt i can understand his meaning , the girls changable and real, but he can handle that cause not everyone is perfect. least of all him in his opinion.

Elliott Smith – Happiness/The Gondola Man Lyrics 17 years ago
this song is addictive and quite sad with the 'oh my' , and that the 'happiness' is in dying, in stop lying and being lied to,

''what I used to be will pass away and then you'll see'' his true life not the lie that he was living.

Elliott Smith – A Question Mark Lyrics 17 years ago
it's like i've always known this tune, just me??
i really want to describe it other than really funky, which it really is it just sounds alive and happy in a not so happy way.
this could so easily be depressive, but to make something out of nothing good, its very clever

submissions
Elliott Smith – Miss Misery Lyrics 17 years ago
''hardly ever wrong i said man you mean
you had plans for both of us''

these two lines never stop being sung in my head, for some reason, the clever break in the lines make it so i dont know, interesting and special

without looking at the lyrics and the way that they're structured, i thought Elliott was telling the man in the park 'man you mean you'. that this (maybe homeless) guy in the park was the one who was strong , not him.
but then the next lines dont fit, so its kinda changed its meaning for me.

submissions
The Shins – A Comet Appears Lyrics 17 years ago
what is the instrument that you only hear at the end, a trombone?...it makes it a little less upsetting i think. But when he sings
'still the worst part and you know it
there is a numbness'
that may be about the apathy that turned people away from believing that there was anything out there, and its replacing the very thing that could bring you any kind of peace. Religion is a large part of what they write, well the lyrics here remind me of 'saint simon'

Greg Laswell – Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Lyrics 17 years ago

Greg Laswell – High and Low Lyrics 17 years ago

This song is just about losing the person you never thought you would lose. And how much it hurts.
