| Phil Collins – Thru These Walls Lyrics | 10 months ago |
|
To me, the first part of the song is about a creepy guy in a hotel room listening to people in the room(s) next to him having sex. "I can hear through these walls, I can hear it when they're foolin' around" The reason I think he is in a hotel is this line "Putting my sign up, Do not disturb me, speak or shout, inside out" but then its about watching - I'm guessing children since he says "I can see the girls and the boys" but he is at a distance and can't hear them - "And I can imagine the noise" and the question I guess is does the guy act on his thoughts or just fantasize about it? "Life is so lonely, I don't get high off just being me, I like pretending, Wanting to touch them, wanting to see" because at the end it seems like maybe he does more than watch? "It's only normal, Creeping behind you, now don't shout, 'cos it's alright" Like he grabs someone and says "don't shout" and then maybe he keeps them locked up? "They keep the windows locked and the door shut tight" Or maybe its a guy in an institution locked up and watching things in the distance and occasionally he hears people in the institution having sex? Definitely a creepy song! |

According to Songfact.com this song was written by Marx about the loss of his grandmother - "I had just experienced the first real loss of someone in my life, which was my grandmother. I didn't have a relationship with my grandma like people do where you go visit your grandparents or you see them twice a year at the holidays or whatever. I was raised by two working parents and so when I was little and I would come home from school, it was my grandmother that was in my house and took care of me and made me lunch and dinner a lot of times. And then my mom and dad would end up at home either right around dinner time or in the evening. So my grandmother was almost like a third parent. We were really close. And we were really good friends. As I got older, we became really good friends. We had a lot of common interests. I just adored my grandmother. So she died about two years into my recording career, after I'd had some success. And so I wrote that song about her, about missing her. My life had been so blessed in those terms up to that point, because I was 26, 27, and both my parents were still around, I hadn't lost anybody. And I took that loss really hard. So that's a song that means a lot to me that I'm really proud of that resonates with me to this day that was never a single." |

| Dave Matthews Band – Warehouse Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| I definitely heard these lyrics differently in some cases. But I thought the song was about a criminal or a con man and the "black cat changing colors" was him changing his persona. I also thought there was a lyric about "identity" and so I thought that was about the person changing their identity. | |
