| Yael Naim – Levater Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
In English: How angry I kept specially pr you. You are dear to me. How much bitterness I accumulated for you. You are what is most dear to me. I wanted to give you up to lerne. How many thoughts. Separation, hatred, but in all that love blooms. How many years of stories to the son, if only I had known how transparent I am for you. I wanted to know lie to you ... How many times you forgiven me, is what I too have forgiven you. Precisely what the words are clear, which escaped me in the mouth. "Refrain": I wanted to talk to you know ... I wanted to know to tell you I wanted to know be for you I wish I knew you move I wanted to know love you |

|
I believe that this song is about being in love with someone and having them be everything to her, but then she lost them and now she has nothing and maybe even attempts suicide to be with this person. I know my explanation will cite the lyrics out of order, but I think that this song is fading between time frames and spends most of it reminiscing. "You're my desert" is her telling them that now she feels she has nothing at all because they are gone. "and where the world gets solid and willing to divide" is her saying that they are the only thing that is true and there for her, or solid in her life, and that she'd be willing to do anything for them. "I corner you in the bedroom, I find you at the sink" May be her remembering either a romantic moment or but this line leads me to believe that her lover killed themselves first, probably by slitting their wrists or overdosing on drugs, since that those both usually happen over the sink in a bathroom. "I picture you in the morning, I reach for you in my sleep" is her yearning for her lover, being lonely and only able to think of them. "I was in love, with the sky it's like a drug" Her being in love with the sky means that she wishes she was in heaven and it's the only thing she can think of, as if she's addicted to those thoughts of death. "I was in love, with my windshield at twilight" Is her being so in love(with her dead lover and her ideas of death) that she kills herself in a car crash. Being in love with her windshield can also be interpreted as she is pressed against the windshield as if in love and accepting it, or in other words, getting in a car accident and being thrust into the windshield(which most likely leads to death.). Where she begins to sing of the backroom in her memory, I believe this to simply being her looking back over her life, but it isn't too important. "I was love with the sound of it all" Is her saying that she is completely accepting and loves the idea or sound of the idea of dying and being with her lover. "I was in love, with the sky it's quite a high" Is her being too focused on her want for death that it's almost like she's detached from the real world and only thinks of this. If the word is "up" instead of "a" though, it could mean that she feels she cannot obtain death... "I was in love, with not knowing, anything at all" Is her saying she'd rather not know the pain of the world without her lover and be dead. |

| I believe that the line is actually "I was in love, with my windshield at twilight" and not "I was in love, with my window at twilight" :) | |

| The sound of this song makes me think of the hotel from "The Shining" and genocides at the same time.... Very interesting sound though... | |
| Cake Bake Betty – Gigantomachy Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I think this song is probably about how she falls in love with someone she knows she shouldn't/cannot be with, but thinks about them all the time, because he either left or died. The last verses illustrate in a dream how she is in love, but has lost him, and she knows she needs to let him go, but doesn't want him to. "Found yourself a serpent this time...lusting for the fruits we have tried." The first few lines are expressing how humanity fall into temptation, even if we know it is wrong, using the example of Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit. "I carry your bones in my heart." But she's in love with this person and thinks of them all the time. "Darkness in his fingertips, eyes just the same; told me there was no one to blame." He either left on his own account or died on accident, and she wants to blame someone, but she knows deep down that she shouldn't. "I dreamt of your calling again. You told me to run from temptations of grandeur that come with the visions of him." She hears him in her dreams tell her he's not worth fawning over and being in love with because it is all lust or not worth it. "...swallowed by hunger to see you again." She ignores what he says and still wishes to see him, awake and in her dreams. "running through fields sweet seas of golden there it was you in the house near the grain dark the night, high the noontime bitter and begging my dear don't you go." In her dreams, she is still with him, but near the end, she always begs him to not leave, a translation as to that in reality, she wishes that she could have kept him there/alive and everything would have been beautiful and simple just like running through fields(a classic love scene). "The sun turned to ash and your body was withered." This is where he either leaves or dies, and I'm guessing he most likely died. He probably grew sick and died or died in a fiery accident, such as a car accident or cooking incident. "Your bones I let go and the dream did subside." This is her in her dream finally letting him go, or her subconscious telling her that she needs to let him go and catch up with life. |

| Amanda Palmer – Leeds United Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Now, I don't mean to be arguing with you (though I am), but the South (where African slaves were oppressed) was actually Liberal, so the South being conservative is untrue. Might I add that if you were to actually look into who freed the slaves(Abraham Lincoln), the president was CONSERVATIVE. And the theory of conservatives walking away when anyone questions them is untrue. Conservative likes to argue and stand for their points very much so; it is actually the Liberals who try to create loopholes, talk around a topic, or point fingers(Obama for example blaming everyone else for his mistakes, such as his +70 vacations during his presidency, illusive birth certificate and multiple alias). And conservatives don't hate homosexuals either. I, being conservative, have multiple homosexual friends who I love to hang out with and have absolutely no problem with their sexual preferences(I also listen to a lot of music by homosexual artists who sing about people of their same sex, and those are some of my favorite artists). People just jump to the conclusion that conservatives hate homosexuality because they think that if we don't want to see people make-out, make love, or anything of the likes in public(of ANY sexuality)(Conservatives simply prefer that EVERYONE despite their sexuality would keep their sex-life in their own bed, not flaunted around like a new pair of shoes?hat/whatever), it MUST mean that they hate homosexuals. And plenty of liberals have called Tea-partiers "T-baggers", which is actually a demeaning homosexual slang term. But Conservatives do not want homosexuals "to die" or to not have anything to do with them. And I have to say, sure, conservatives are trying to do their best, but isn't everyone convinced their way of handling things is better than someone else's? And yes, Conservatives are wrong about some things, but so are Liberals. And no offense, but aren't Liberals more two-faced than Conservatives? What about all these promises we've received from Liberal politicians that have never been fulfilled(Such as free healthcare, but everyone who pays taxes has to pay more while bureaucrats and politicians are exempt from these taxes, waiting lists, and instead receive special medical treatment within the Obamacare bill)? And to finish this, Conservatives do not hate people just because they are liberal either and do not wish them death. Much of my own family, my best friends, teachers, and love interests have been Liberal, but someone's political view does not decide how a friendship/relationship will be. So I can see how this song may sound political, but that does not that this song is written to specifically bash Conservatives and their supposed "hatred" for Liberals and Homosexuals. Now, I don't mean to offend you at all, I just find it a tad unnerving to be "hated on" so blindly by someone's translation of an excellent, excellent song. |

| The Postal Service – We Will Become Silhouettes Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| This sounds like it's about being stuck in Nuclear Warfare or hiding out from an Atomic bomb to me as well.... "cans of food and filtered water" reminds me of how you cannot eat or drink anything unless it is completely safe, and this food is all stored as if in a bunker. "And we will become silhouettes when our bodies finally go" reminds me of how in Hiroshima when the bomb went off, despite people burning to ashes, their silhouettes were left against the walls they stood in front of. "But all the news reports recommended that I stay indoors" also sounds like the Gov telling people to stay in their bunkers after the bomb. "Because the air outside will make our cells divide at an alarming rate" also reminds me of how radiation splits our cells and cause cancer... and the lines following that reminds me of people getting radiation sickness and dying in gruesome ways. | |
| CocoRosie – Black Poppies Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| To me, this song is 'illustrating' the beginning of rainfall("hazy veils of cloud loom low"..."Rain starts her shimmery descent"_ over an abandoned, old farm, which has had its fair share of troubles("Underground bodies stir with no sound"..."Ghosthorse and stillborns turn in their cradles") like an old man--"old leather skin of the farm". | |
| Rasputina – The Mayor Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think this song applies to two ideas: "an eye for an eye" and political revolt. "An eye for an eye" is the idea I firstly get from the song because of the continuous "if he takes something precious from me, I'm going to take something precious for him." It reminds me of political up-rise/revolution/retaliation towards the government because it reminds me of how the Gov. can take things from you, but they are at the status where they are almost untouchable. And at the same time, what the "mayor" says is what goes. So if he doesn't like the narrator, no one else does; if he feels sick, everyone is sad; the "mayor" has a strong sense of being in charge and easily catered to by everyone below him as well. |

| Metallic Falcons – Misty Song Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| This song reminds me of when the sirens sing to Odysseus in the Odyssey.... Probably because this sounds like a siren's song AND they mention crimson locks, and Odysseus in the story had deep, rich, red hair that hung in curling locks.... | |
| Orion Rigel Dommisse – A Giver Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Or the song is about a girl who is totally pushed around or unpopular("a giver") who falls in love( "for this request I'll fall in love with you") with a boy for his noble deeds/personality/kindness, but he cannot and will not feel the same for her("But you could not love me") because he is out of her leauge or is already in love (..."because I am just a giver and she could be your queen.") | |
| Patrick Watson – Traveling Salesman Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| This song seems to be about someone "selling" a religion/belief to someone. "A travelling man who fell from the skies" makes me think of either an angel or a prophet... and "selling some piece of mind.....Fills in the gaps" convinces me that this man brought a mindset, belief, or even an entire religion which he helped non-believers see "the distance between us and the sky" or what we need to do to get to heaven. | |
| Orion Rigel Dommisse – A Giver Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| This song I believe represents a boy who is popular/rich/famous falling in love with a girl who is totally normal and boring, and stepped all over in life(thus being a "giver") rather than loving a girl who is on his level("princess"... "she could be your queen"). | |
| Liz Isenberg – Two Weeks Till the Midwest Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song is so sweet. The meaning of this is either: a) She is dying of some kind of disease and needs someone to comfort her as the disease gets worse and she moves closer to death. b) She is heartbroken and needs someone to be there for her, to love her. |

Such possessive passion for her son... and the emotion and anger that she brings forth in this song. I could listen to it forever.... The Decemberists + Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond= One of the best collaborations yet. |

| Despite my not being able to grasp the meaning behind this song, it is still a beautiful and interesting song.... | |
| Metric – Calculation (Theme) Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Oh goodness, such an interesting meaning to this song I am taking... Singing of how we all view love and lust as the same, as this robotic, automatic, assumed thing that has no value. Body over soul in our society just like the line "who put these bodies between us?" And how she refers to them as ghosts, I think she is saying our souls, but doesn't put it for maybe controversy purposes or that she wants to make people think... And saying that she thinks it is best to not be lovers also shows that it would probably be more about lust over love because of modern society... |

| CocoRosie – South 2nd Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| The brother is the one who refuses to get the baseball bat the fight the other kid off of his younger brother, the little boy in the fight. And the two boys fighting are the "same damn size". I hope that helps answer your questions :D | |
| CocoRosie – South 2nd Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| It's about a younger brother who's older brother is in a gang in Brooklyn, and the brother has him get in a fight to prove that he can be like him (get street wise=learn to defend himself while in the gang). Mama refuses to let her son (who is only a small child) fight, but he ends up dying. Baseball bat is mentioned because the Mama wants her older son (big brother) to go get the bat and get his younger brother out of the fight. But the younger brother dies before big brother gets the baseball bat. | |
