| Regina Spektor – Chemo Limo Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think the limo isn't really a limo, but a hearse. 'I can afford chemo like I can afford a hearse.' She can't afford to ride in a hearse, because then what would happen to her kids? She can't leave her children alone, after all. And of course Crispy Crispy Benjamin Franklin is money. :3 As for the 'this shit's making me tired' part, I think she ends up taking the chemotherapy in the long run, because chemotherapy makes you really exhausted. If you've ever been in a cancer treatment room, you can literally see the patients just drop. It's really sad. :( But anyway, as for the insurance policy part, maybe the 'I don't have to pay for this shit' literally means that she doesn't have to pay, because the insurance is paying. And of course, 'let's go west' means she's dying. |

| Regina Spektor – Prisoners Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
'but they wanna run through the air with no barriers or obstacles gunmen or guard dogs or priests and to rise from the mud and start over and over with the people all dead' To me, it seems like the prisoners just want to be freed and almost forget what it is that they've done, so their consciences will be light and 'run through the air.' The mud seems like a play on the archetypal baptism and instead of being cleansed in water, they can overcome their crimes without being actually cleansed of them. That, and the dead part seems like they truly hate the ones who judge them and in their angry mindsets, they want them all to die. xP ...And I could've sworn the line was 'and oh, I do swallow,' a reference to oral sex. |
