| Eminem – When I'm Gone Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I love the irony. This song itself clearly took time to write, time Eminem could've spent with his kids. But the point is that he chose to write the song instead. | |
| The Magnetic Fields – The Book of Love Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| When you think about love, it's really pointless and stupid, but when you feel it, you don't care. | |
| The Magnetic Fields – Come Back From San Francisco Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
"You need me like the wind needs the trees to blow in. Like the moon needs poetry, you need me." Without the trees to blow into, the wind doesn't get noticed, it just blows on by. The trees are what pay attention to the wind; trees give the wind significance. Without poetry, the moon is just a random chunk of rock in the sky. The way its observers perceive it makes it valuable. The wind and the moon are given meaning by the trees and poetry respectively, but the wind and the moon don't NEED the trees and poetry. The trees and poetry are helpful to the wind and the moon, but certainly not necessary. The narrator uses the word "need" so many times because he/she is in denial about her knowledge that his/her spouse in San Francisco does not really NEED him/her. The narrator does, however, need his/her spouse, as shown by the songs's tone of desperation. |

| The Magnetic Fields – Papa Was A Rodeo Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Beautiful song, one of my all-time favorites. Props to sulkowski for that post. I printed it out with a copy of the song to give to someone. | |
| The Magnetic Fields – Meaningless Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| This song is magnificently meaningless. | |
| Vampire Weekend – Oxford Comma Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| it definitely doesn't say "Dalai Lama." It says "Highest Lama/Llama." Either way it is referring to Dalai Lama because Dharamsala is high up, on top of a mountain. | |
| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Soul to Squeeze Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| One of my favorite songs by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are my favorite band. In other words, one of my favorite songs. Period. | |
| Coldplay – In My Place Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Yeah your right the beginning is very similar to When the Levee Breaks. I don't think they were trying to make people realize that though, they probably just wanted it to be in this song. | |
| M.I.A. – Paper Planes Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| When she says "I got more records than the K.G.B." does she mean police records or is she using it as a play on words to mean music records? | |
| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Under the Bridge Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think he is saying that, along with his own heroin addiction of course, there is a lot of that kind of stuff in Los Angeles. The word "she" in this song is talking about LA. "Sometimes I feel like my only friend Is the city I live in, the city of angels Lonely as I am, together we cry" Together we cry = Him and LA are both depressed, in the same way also. Also, the lyric "I drive on her streets" makes it pretty clear that he isn't referring to a girl. |

| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Behind the Sun Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I am a huge RHCP fan and I like this song better than any song by them before Blood Sugar Sex Magick came out. But I don't like their music from back then anyway, so that doesn't say very much. Great song though. It has a nice sound to it. | |
| John Mayer – Waiting on the World to Change Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| A little repetitive, but a great song. If you like this you should look at other stuff in Continuum. This is what got me started off liking John Mayer, and now I like the other songs in Continuum even better. | |
| M.I.A. – O... Saya Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Slumdog Millionaire is an excellent movie, a must-see. Great soundtrack also. | |
| Coldplay – Lost! Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| The first 12 or so seconds of this song are almost the same as Let it Be by the Beatles. | |
| Coldplay – Trouble Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is has the same piano as Speed of Sound, I wonder why it isn't nearly as popular? | |
| John Mayer – The Heart of Life Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Great song, one of my favorite by John Mayer. It gives me an "everything is gonna be alright" feeling, even if there is nothing wrong. | |
| The Shins – New Slang Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth. Only, i don't know how they got out, dear." I felt good and bad in my life. Now I don't feel anything, dear. "Turn me back into the pet that I was when we met. I was happier then with no mind-set." I want to do what you want, just like i did when we met. Back then I had nothing on my mind and I was happier than I am now. "And if you'd 'a took to me like A gull takes to the wind." If you would have let me help you, "Well, I'd 'a jumped from my tree And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well." I would have come out from hiding. And I would have been happy. And both of us would be happy for the rest of our lives. "New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries. Hope it's right when you die, old and bony." Things change when you notice the negative aspects, the bad part of what you are about to make part of you. You hope they go away before you die. "Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall, Never should have called But my head's to the wall and I'm lonely." Change comes quickly and all at once. I never should have chosen to move on even though there were negative aspects. So now I'm regretful and lonely. "God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs, And bleed into their buns 'till they melt away." Everyone puts themselves into things and tries the best they can. All this trying goes into whatever they are trying at and destroys the thing. "I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find. Without a trust or flaming fields am I too dumb to refine?" I'm close to happiness but I might never get it. Without an asset, can I not move in closer? "And if you'd 'a took to me like Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well." And if you had let me help you, I would have come out from hiding. And both of us would be happy for the rest of our lives. This is supposed to be a paraphrase sort of thing, but it gives me a pretty good idea of the meaning also. |
