| Sigur Rós – Óveður Lyrics
| 5 years ago
|
English Translation:
Storm (bad weather)
Cloud(s) [?] short
Creeping closer
Surrounding me
Grey grains
A useless life this is [?]
Find my way alone
Unseen
Now outside I own [?]
The visibility here
Becoming worse and worse
Big fools [?]
Let us close on it
Waves are on
Let the sun beams break through
And light my way
Every night I watched disoriented
Looking all around
What should I do?
Don't know which foot to step on
Whatever I do stuck again on earth
Why does everything have to be so complicated?
I always speak a description of you
Streetlight’s are needed to shine
But they have been kicked to death |

| Eminem – River Lyrics
| 6 years ago
|
It's about Eminem meeting a girl whose SO had just cheated on her. She wants to sleep with Em to use him as revenge, and he accidentally gets her pregnant. They have an abortion and the relationship ends, leaving chaos in its wake.
I particularly like the wordplay with "This love triangle left us in a wreck, tangled" (triangle -> rectangled) |

She's using the aftermath of a New Years Eve party to show that even after things end, there will be time to reminisce and reflect, learning from your past and either moving on or holding on. |

| Lil Pump – Gucci Gang Lyrics

|
He's rapping about all the stuff he can afford now - for example, Balmains is a high-end clothing company based out of France, and when he says "Bought some red bottoms, cost hella Gs" he's talking about Christian Louboutin shoes which are crazy expensive and have red soles. |

| Fats Domino – Blueberry Hill Lyrics
| 6 years ago
|
"Fats recorded this in LA, at a session in which he ran out of material to tape. Domino insisted on recording the song over the vehement objections of producer-arranger Dave Bartholomew, and then forgot the lyrics while he was recording the song. The engineer pieced together the final version from many fragmentary takes."

| Eminem – The Storm Lyrics

"Racism's the only thing he's fantastic for,
'Cause that's how he gets his fucking rocks off and he's orange,"
Racism's the only THING he's FANTASTIC FOUR,
'Cause that's how he gets his fucking ROCKS off and he's ORANGE,
Gotta love comic book references.
This whole thing is clever and brutal, he really came out swinging. I also really like:
"Fuck that! This is for Colin, ball up a fist,
And keep that shit balled (BALD) like Donald the bitch," |

"[It's] about a relationship I was in and it’s basically about getting good at getting dumped. […] I’m still very, very single. I think I’m even more single than I was when I released In the Lonely Hour, so I’m insanely single. […] People are going to see, this one as I’ve said is about me and something that I’ve gone through." |

| Julia Michaels – Issues Lyrics

|
@[sophia2065:21353] To me it sounds like that line "But you're perfect, poorly wired circuit" means that though the other person is not technically perfect (he's not "wired" correctly) he's still perfect to her regardless. Kind of sums up the whole song really. |

| PVRIS – Heaven Lyrics

|
The album title is All We Know of Heaven, All We Need of Hell - this is from an Emily Dickerson poem:
My life closed twice before its close;
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me,
So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell. |
