| Arctic Monkeys – Dangerous Animals Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I honestly feel like this song (like many others on the album) has a sexual connotation... I think it's about a guy who's chasing after a girl (or maybe he's in a relationship already). Either way, he's not getting any sex... "Been fighting with my sheets Nearly crying in my sleep Yes, I'm battering that welt-up gripe The most frustrating type You should have racing stripes The way you keep me in pursuit" Every night, he's frustrated with the "welt-up gripe" (ie: sexual repression). He could easily find another girl to sleep with, but this one keeps him "in pursuit". He's attracted and not willing to let go. The chorus is just telling us how he wants her, but she won't let him sleep with her. "She makes my head pirouette". Maybe there is a communication problem about sex because he's not willing to "confess" this. As funny as it sounds, a Dangerous Animal may just mean a guy who is sexually frustrated. "The night it fidgets through The photo soon reverts to you I'm about as bashful as a tribal dance the first and final chance" At night, the guy is thinking about the girl. His "bashfulness" may refer to his erection...It's blatantly obvious. There is no hiding from his sexual desire. I'm not quite sure what the second half of that verse means... Finally, here's what really tipped me off: "The most unsuitable bred It's been long enough now So lets make a mess, lioness" You've made me wait long enough, let's have sex. |

Wikipedia says "It has also been suggested that the Trojan Horse actually represents an earthquake that occurred between the wars that could have weakened Troy's walls and left them open for attack" That whole paragraph corresponds to the last few lines of the song about the earthquake. Basically, whatever the Trojan Horse was is being compared to a crumbling relationship. |

| Bloc Party – Halo Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is so amazing. I love the part "I ask you for the time but I am asking for so much more." It's just like when a shy guy talks to a girl he likes. He doesn't know what to say so he just asks for the time just so he can hear the girl's voice. It's so adorable. I also love the part about fingertips. At first I thought it was sort of weird, but now I get that he just loves all the little things about her. | |

| Also, Kele said this was his favorite song on Intimacy and if you didn't already know, the chorus "I carry your heart..." is borrowed from an E.E. Cummings poem. | |

| I absolutely adore this song. It's pretty clear that it's about a great time in a relationship or when a relationship is really working out. | |
