| Joy Division – She's Lost Control Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song isn't actually about epilepsy I understand how everyone could think that but I would say I'm near %80 certain that it's actually about dissociative identity disorder ian curtis might not necessarily have known what DID was, but people with this disorder often go into seizure like states and lose control of themselves entirely I know from first hand experience and also this would explain such lines as: "And she gave away the secrets of her past and said I've lost control again" as the underlying cause of DID is always childhood abuse and bringing up this topic often triggers such states "And of a voice that told her when and where to act, she said I've lost control again " because the consciences of people with DID are fractured into several separate entities that are perceived as voices inside the head. That's exactly how i was described to me by someone who had it anyways. one often has more control than the others and provides them with whatever information it wants them to have so that they don't have bear certain things on their minds all the time. I know it sounds like a long shot, but this song basically describes a relationship i had with a girl who was multiple, in completely literal terms. People with DID often say they have other disorders that can more easily describe their symptoms, like epilepsy, schizophrenia, aphasia, PTSD, etc. There probably isn't even much information around about the disorder to aid my argument as so little is known about it, I'm just speaking from firsthand experience which might be worth next to nothing on the internet. Just saying, I'd bet $20... |

| Placebo – This Picture Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Yes, it's a good song, but I'd so far to say that you're an uneducated idiot if you consider it the epitome of poetry. Probably don't read much, do you? And I mean REAL literature... | |
| Bloc Party – Sunday Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I would say that http://www.blocparty.com/lyrics.php is the authority on Bloc Party lyrics. I recommend that all SongMeanings entries for their lyrics be compared to the official versions. As for the issue of "i'll" versus "i," the official listing is "i," but if you'll think about it for a second, the extra l's of the contracted future form would be silent were they present, eclipsed by the l beginning love, as putting a pause between the words would sound... terrible. That leaves the only difference between the two forms the accentuation of "I". In common speech, "I" would be pronounced like "eye," were it on it's own. "I'll" would be pronounced "ahl". However, this isn't common speech, this is music, and as such, the "I" is flows into "love," leaving no room for the second phase part of the typical I sound, the "ye". It sounds far more attractive, but because of this style-oriented pronounciation, it sounds like an "I'll" to many people because, honestly, that's how it's sung. It's also "ones," not "whites". What you hear can be accounted for by the fact that on very high notes, kele's "ahs" and "ayes" sound the same, as well as a slight t sound made as the tongue must touch the top of the mouth for completion of an "n," and the transition into an "s" after this dictates movement of the tongue back to behind the bottom teeth. This must be done while still singing, so, when the tongue is removed, the pop characteristic of a "t" must be made. This normally isn't noticed because the pop is obscured by the volume and frequency of the normal human voice, but becomes kmuch more pronounced when singing delicately at high freqs. Try whispering "ones". You can't, you whispers "wants". Every fuckin' time. No, he isn't being racist, that's just how the mouth works. | |
