| Blur – This Is a Low Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
There are a lot of references to the shipping forecast in this.
Around the bay of BISCAY and back for tea
Hit traffic on the DOGGER bank
Up the THAMES to find a taxi rank
Sail on by with the tide and go asleep
And the radio says...
Up the TYNE, FORTH and CROMARTY
There's a low in the high FORTIES
And saturday's locked away on the pier
Not fast enough dear
On the MALIN HEAD, blackpool looks blue and red
All names of regions in the shipping forecast, except Malin Head which is a coastal station. The 'low' is referring to an area of low pressure. 'Blackpool looks blue and red' refers to the representation of warm and cold fronts on weather charts. 'Sail on by with the tide and go to sleep' refers to the piece of music 'Sailing By' which is played just before the shipping forecast starts. You'd go to sleep after, because the extended forecast at 12:48am is the last thing broadcast on BBC Radio 4 before closedown and it switches over to the BBC World Service. |

I think it's about a guy who's in a relationship, but he feels the spark has gone from it and he wants to end it, but he can't bring himself to do it. |

| Kings of Leon – Closer Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
I believe the line is '2000 years of chasing taken its toll'
Personally, I think it's a guy who fell in love with a vampire and she turned him, and he's been searching for her the past 2000 years.

It's basically about commercialism and the destructive side of consumer culture. Also, this is the radio edit, not the full version. The full version has about two or three extra verses. |

The video for this is awesome. And the whole thing about going back to the start fits in very well with it seeing as it's going backwards. |

I think it's about a guy who's in love with this girl, but she doesn't return it. He's tried everything to get her attention but nothing works and it's breaking his heart. |

| Travis – Follow The Light Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
I think the light is happiness and generally being at peace with yourself. "Just follow the light
And don't be afraid of the dark"
The dark is whenever things go wrong or you start to doubt and lose faith, but if you follow the light, you'll always eventually find your way back somehow. |

I heard what this was about on the radio or something a while ago. It's about this guy who comes home from work to his wife with blood all over his hands and stuff after he just goes crazy and kills everyone because the feeling that he isn't in control of his life, that higher powers are controlling everything he does has finally driven him insane. |
