Bright Eyes – First Day of My Life Lyrics 12 years ago
This line actually is a reference to his line in "waste of paint"

"Like love's some kind of lottery
Where you scratch and see what's underneath
It's sorry, just one cherry
I'll play again, get lucky"

he's responding to his early views about love and he realizes that working towards a good relationship is better than sitting around waiting around to win the lottery

Pedro the Lion – Rehearsal Lyrics 13 years ago
Just because the wife is calling the husband unoriginal doesn't necessarily mean that she finds him boring. When the wife says that she finds the fact that he is unoriginal more depressing than the fact that he is sleeping with other women, i think she is trying to say that she is more disturbed by the fact that her husband thinks she is so naive/stupid not to realize that he is cheating on her despite the fact that he comes up with the most unoriginal excuses and way to camouflage the infidelities.

Bob Dylan – Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 Lyrics 15 years ago
I think what Bob Dylan was trying to say with this song had nothing to do with drugs or getting high. I think what he was trying to say was that in order to make a living in this world and become someone you have to be willing to take criticism i.e. getting stoned. This idea goes along with the quote by Elbert Hubbard. "To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing."

Ben Folds – Hiroshima Lyrics 15 years ago
i agree with everyone in that this song is pretty self explainitory but the part that goes

"You wanna see what's in my head?
You wanna see what's in my head?
You wanna see what's in my head?
Check it out, because
I got pictures of what's in my head
I got pictures of what's in my head
They took them in Tokyo
And I brought them back to the USA"

I think he might have been trying to humanize himself to his fans. Since he's so famous many of his fans put him on a pedestal and think he is god because of his amazing piano playing skills and song writing abilities. They wonder what crazy shit is in his head that allows him to put out such great music, when really all that's there is just blood and brains like everyone else. He's just good at what he does because he dedicates himself and practices a ton.

Rodeo Ruby Love – Boys vs. Girls Lyrics 15 years ago
This song is a very playful love song. It's sweet how the lead singer (the guy) and the keyboarder (the girl) play of each other. Rodeo Ruby Love does this often and they are very good at it.

Further Seems Forever – New Year's Project Lyrics 16 years ago
the best FSF song ever. It beautifully depicts the strongest devotion and passion that a human being can have for a "significant other".
