| Grand Archives – Sleepdriving Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Snow fell thick and small It buried us all in a fog You remembered it all I'm sleepdriving away Metal and mold, bourbon and clove Mirrors and smoke, yesterday's clothes I'm sleepdriving away As through your window I stared out And saw someday we'll be too old Cold winter air put an ache in your jaw You're only as old as you say that we are I'm sleepdriving away The trunk of the car filled with all that we own This old Pontiac's starting to feel like a boat I'm sleepdriving away As through your window I stared out And saw someday we'll be too old It's nearly dawn in a motel home The shades were drawn to hide the storm Without a sound the TV glows The blankets tight around our throats Swirling around the light above Outside the crows are waking up It's nearly dawn in a motel home Was nearly gone, no sleep at all Outside those crows In lines on those Frozen roads and wires Sleepdriving away |

| Dar Williams – Teen For God Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think being atheist is as good a reason as any to like this song, because to me it sounds like it's saying that having faith in whatever god and/or religion is all well and good, but you have to choose it yourself and *only for* yourself. A "find your own truth and leave others in peace to find theirs" kind of thing. | |
| A-Ha – Velvet Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I don't think it's cynical, but rather a sort of lament for this girl who is so emotionally closed off that the singer knows he'll never actually *reach* her. There is a dreamy sort of quality to the song which, to me, furthers the impression that he's almost enchanted by this woman and can't make himself just walk away even if he knows it's a lost cause. She's so distant that their relationship will never be anything beyond merely physical. I'm sure the women more or less molesting the band's corpses in the video while the sparkly confetti flies would have a thing or two to say about that, even if the (dead) guys smirking at the camera kind of suggests that the singer walked into it with open eyes. Seems to me like it's a case of mutual addiction to whatever form of affection they can find in/for each other. |

http://www.annanalick.com/site.html: "01.28.08 - A Note About "Shine" From Anna "Shine" is a song FOR those people who have made mistakes in a public way, FOR people whose mistakes and heartbreak are considered entertainment. When sad things that would hurt ANYBODY happen, like your relationship falling apart and making entertainment news, or you are constantly being told how you aren't good, thin, pretty, or rich enough, or your job being so taxing for the roles you have to play whether it's having to immerse yourself in a crazy depressed state of mind to play a crazy depressed character, or having to stay permanently smiling every time you leave your house even though you've just had a miscarriage, or an argument with someone you love, or your dog died and you finally crack, we just say, "It was bound to happen, everyone in Hollywood is shallow and addicted." "Shine" is also saying that little girls, like your daughters and sisters or you, don't have to throw up to be pretty, be sleazy to be loved, or be crazy to get attention. Just because the BAD things are what people pay money for doesn't mean that those things are ALL of what your favorite movie and music stars are. What about the fact that the heiress is an amazing business woman, and the popstar writes poetry, can really dance, or really sing? EVERYONE deserves a chance. You don't have to settle for what others believe you to be. Force them to see you for what you are proud of. To be bigger than your title, stereotype, or clique, bigger than your loneliness and to know you are better than another's definition of you is to Shine. " |

| Takida – Curly Sue Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| To be completely honest the lyrics to this song don't do very much for me when they're put in black on white like this, but the cliches that are littered throughout it don't take away in the slightest from the fact that the song is just plain beautiful. | |

| I agree, this is such a feelgood song, and Full Moon Cigarette is an amazing record! | |
