| Sneaker Pimps – Spin Spin Sugar Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| This song message tries to provoke through mockery of societal conformity. The crying part furthers the message by reinforcing the ridicule that we are unhappy by "living for another". Meaning enlightenment is achieved through one's self not reliance on others. | |
| Sneaker Pimps – Bloodsport Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Yeah the lyrics are provoking, but can't say it's the best I've heard ... actually its message is naive. It's meaning is in an infancy stage by focusing and validating negative feelings; rather than acknowledging the experience's flaws and appreciating the benefits learned from the disconnection process. It would be "best lyrics I've ever heard" if the song revealed a newfound path of awareness gained from the experience. | |

| Zero 7 – Destiny Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Of all the posts, yours is the most accurate meaning of this song. I think everyone missed the boat on the porn reference, which is basically a metaphor for avoiding reality. Porn is scripted, staged. What if this song is not about two people but rather the conceptual struggle of reason and assent. How they are the exact opposite of each other but cannot exist alone. They are tied by destiny. | |
| Gwen Stefani – Luxurious Lyrics | 12 years ago |

This song is a metaphor for love addiction. The high one gets from feeling in love is so intense we will believe or say anything to sustain it, but the reality is a disguise. It's the same behavior when substitute material objects for feelings of joy and security. Here is the french translation in the beginning and end of the song: At the beginning: (c'est pas possible cet amour, c'est incroyable. Tu me fais transpirer, c'est parfait.) -it isn't possible this love, it's incredible. You make me sweat, it's perfect. At the end: Tu est si jolie c'est pas possible. C'est jamais assez... c'est jamais assez. Tu me fais plein. Toutes les choses tu me fais sentir, c'est parfait. Je suis bien avec toi... je suis bien.) -You are so pretty it isn't possible. It's never enough ... it's never enough You fill me. All the things you make me feel, it's perfect. I am comfortable (well, ok) with you... i am comfortable. |

| Olive – You're Not Alone Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| What a great tune with a very important message. One of society's major faults is our struggle with the virtue of courage, responsibility, and self belief. This song offers a challenge with reward. Taking a moment to "be" with yourself, openly and introspectively gives you inner strength to positively perform. This is a "you" moment, so celebrate. | |
| Massive Attack – Paradise Circus Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| the lyricist says rolling over during difficult times is uncourageous, yet in the next sentence, shifts self responsibility by blaming the devil for our sin. Kind of ironic, don't ya think. | |
| Chromeo – Bonafied Lovin' Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I like the tonal beat of this song, but the lyrics are philosophical, which I think illustrates the idea of unchallenged perception. Bonafide is authentic and organic, yet the message's intention is in disagreement with the virtues it preaches. By using transfer, to illustrate our societal respect for the elderly, and then testing the hypothesis with conflict, "the type that makes me feel old" reveals the antithesis of wisdom. Wise is believed to be ideal, but it lacks an integral component ... "naivety" to become empirical. The song basically says enlightenment is fallacy. | |
| Phoenix – Fences Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Musician1012's take on this is spot on!! If only his/her theory of "schizophrenia" was replaced with a law-based "belief" system. Oh, how the brilliant concept of religion is uncomfortable to dissect. Kudos to Phoenix and their ironic disguise of reveal. Genius poetry. | |
| Dubstar – The Day I See You Again Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This song is simply amazing!!! It explores a state of being termed "infatuation". It unintentionally exposes our unyielding pursuit of achieving happiness through the conflict of emotion and reason. This tune is purely original, in that it acknowledges the condition of unrealistic expectation of blissful passion without reciprocity. What makes this song truly meaningful is the lyricist's vocal expression and recognition of the unattainable desire, as brilliantly told in the chorus: "All this time, I've waited knowing". Ironic!! This admission unknowingly gifts the remarkable sense of self-realization thereby decompressing the significance of the infatuation. | |

I don't think the lyrics are that obvious, this song is so much more intricate. If you watch the video on YouTube, you can find some hidden meaning, which may reveal the lyricist’s message. I’m not sure if I have it correct, but here’s my attempt: I find it interesting she is singing about another person, comparing herself to this other person. I believe she is singing in the voice of another person who has a form of psychosis, dementia, illusion conceptions, schizophrenia or Alzheimer. From the beginning, she refers to this other person who is inexplicitly alone (we could go on for days about the meaning of the word alone). She then furthers to notice the “person” as being of the same high (mindset, way of thinking, attitude) and same eyes (again mindset, outlook, vision). This is clearly a clue she is talking about an extension of herself. She then says, “but you can’t borrow my clothes all the time”, as in overwhelmed and fighting the presence of this “person” in her life or mind. It is at this point, in the video, a marquee flashes the words, “Half Houses Normally”. Which I believe takes on the meaning of a hospital for the mentally impaired. Right after the marquee, the video transitions to a figurine of two lambs (normal self and sick self). Lambs are a symbol for suffering, meekness, sacrifice and purity. All the while, the haunting music in the background has a deliberate confusion to it, including a repetitive telephone beep, symbolizing disconnection from society. In the video, she is playing bingo, a game that offers her the security of mental focus within her world dominated by randomness and confusion. Because she is in a room full of geriatric individuals, this may reveal she is possibly singing about someone she “once” knew who suffered from schizophrenia, dementia, etc. The chorus, “bad things, dead things, sad things have to happen sometimes”, means death. This is why I believe the person she is singing about is no longer living. While watching the video, we are then taken to her visiting a buffet line and being served boiled peas. There is an ancient association of beans, legumes and particularly peas with death and the dead. In Europe, often beans and peas are served at funeral dinners. Her next lyrics take us to, “I let the snow, melt in my mouth. Until my head hurts, until I’m out”. I would translate this to her holding onto her memories of the deceased and being consumed in her nostalgia of happy and sad memories. In the video we are taken to a moment where she believes to have won the bingo game, high notes of a guitar rift sequence ensue, flashbacks of her happiest moments of childhood occur, then we discover she missed a spot and ultimately did not win the game … Maybe this is possible symbolism to psychosis, where the patient often has a temporary relapse of “normal” moments, only to regress, thus creating “bad”, “sad” and “confusion” within the “half houses normally” she sings about?? |
