| Neko Case – Pretty Girls Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i tend to agree that this song is probably about girls getting abortions, but i also wonder if it could be about rape? more specifically, girls going to the hospital after being raped. even though the harsh condemnation these girls are receiving seems more fitted to abortion, think of how people will say "well, dressed like that she was just asking for it" or rapists will insist that "they wanted it" etc. Also, i think the lines about "lovers who won't understand" ties in better to the long lasting effects of the trauma of rape, and how it can affect later relationships. | |
| Muse – Supermassive Black Hole Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| is it just me or does this song sound exactly like "do something" by britney spears? that really turned me off it for a while because I thought it was too poppy/campy, but I like it now. | |

| Neko Case – Fox Confessor Brings the Flood Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
cokemachineglow.com has an amazing, in-depth interpretation of Neko's entire album, explaining the referneces and themes from Ukranian fairy tales. Heres what they say about this song: Fox Confessor's title is taken from Ukrainian mythology -- the fable of the (cunning, ruthless) fox and the (naive, defeated) wolf. Circumstances vary with each telling, but the message is practically the same: the fox, thirsting for the wolf's need for absolution, cons its way into assuming the role of the trusted confessor, then promptly uses that relationship to abandon/seduce/kill/eat/generally fuck over its unsuspecting prey. In one telling, the fox fools the wolf into believing it can control the ocean's tides. The trusting wolf, naive enough to believe the fox has the power to control nature, heads into the swelling ocean, only to wash up on shore a pathetic stiff/delicious meal moments later. So, to grossly oversimplify some really harsh but "darkly funny" (according to Neko) animal mythology, "Fox Confessor Brings the Flood" = the person/wild animal/concept/higher power that you put your faith in fools you, so not only are your sins not absolved, there's this big (pre- existent, not actually of confessor's control) shit-flood that's gonna wreck you and leave you either abandoned and begging for sweet reprieve or corpsed up on your predator's doorstep like the old guy who married Anna Nicole Smith Fox Confessor's title track, sequenced right in the middle of the record, locks horns with that mythology, directly integrating its imagery and tone into her own characters. Here, she (the fictional "she," not Neko) drives by "beautiful" flooded fields in the first verse and floods her own sleeves (finally realizing she has nothing to "hold [her] faith in," she breaks down) in the last. Both scenes bookend a confrontation with the fox confessor, who she follows, guilt-riden, in "retreat." But in retreat from what? The flooded fields? Well, no -- in those she finds "beauty," as any good gothic protagonist would. It's the flooded sleeves, the emotional manifestation of her "orphan blues," that leaves her so vulnerable and defeated. So, when the fox confessor tells her that it's not her fault and understands her frustration ("'it's not for you to know / but for you to weep and wonder / when the death of your civilization precedes you'"), of course she's going to follow him, accepting that wherever it leads her will be a step up from what she's going through. She ultimately gives in because she's burdened with a monumental sense of loss: of faith, self-respect, options, love, power, hope, sanity, all that good shit. She's inundated by an overwhelming lack of control and direction, left a pessimistic emotional wreck that'd rather accept a foolishly romanticized concept of death than deal with her own demons. heres the link to the article, DEFINITELY read it if you like Neko Case. http://www.cokemachineglow.com/reviews/nekocase_fox2006.html |

| Keane – Is It Any Wonder? Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
actually, its political. heres a quote from rolling stone: While their debut featured the soaring, piano-driven ballad "Somewhere Only We Know," the new effort's "Strokes-y" first single, "Is It Any Wonder," deals with weightier stuff, inspired in part by England's involvement in the war in Iraq. "It's probably the one song on the record that most expresses our dismay and confusion about what it means to be a British citizen, in terms of what our society's contributing to the world at large," Rice-Oxley explains. "It's very hard to make sense of why Britain feels it needs to sign up with George Bush's attacks on Iraq and the whole Afghanistan thing. It feels like there's a whole lot of trouble brewing up over Iran, and you just don't know where it's going to end. On a personal level, for people of our age, it's really unsettling." |

| The Libertines – Up The Bracket Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| "up the bracket" means "up the nose," referring to coke/heroin. thats pretty common knowledge. hhahaha in an interview, they were asked about how the album's name was a drug reference, and carl's response was "well its just as much about noses, innit?" | |

| Dirty Pretty Things – Bang Bang You're Dead Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i heard this was actually written while the libertines were still together, but carl added the first verse afterwards, or changed it slightly so it fit the whole pete situation better. so it wasnt origianally about him, but that one verse is now | |

hot time kid hot time kid it's colder in the blanket they loved it then shot it the fastest went and got it they stole it they ease, ma they hide it up their sleeves, mom they hide it they hide they're never gonna find it i think the first half of this verse is about sex, but the second half sounds more like drugs |

| Arctic Monkeys – Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| why does everyone think hes trying to follow the girl? hes just telling his friends abotu her, theres never anyh mention of her after the other guy buys her the drink. it just sounds like a conversation in the cab, alternating between talking about whats happening in the cab and discussing the events of the night. | |

| Franz Ferdinand – Fabulously Lazy Lyrics | 18 years ago |

hahaha this totally does sound like paris... but i kind of have a hard time believing franz ferdinand would actually write a song about her specifically it seems kind of out of place with the rest of their stuff. maybe its about the whole paris hilton/lindsay lohan/nicole richie/jessica simpson tabloid celebrity phenomenon in general, or about popstars. All the boys from rock and roll Sometimes she likes soul No one sees her lift a finger What a singer ...this sounds like a lipsyncing reference (singer never lifting a finger), and the rock and roll/soul could be referring to how popstars alternate between trying to sound r&bish and emulating avril lavigne-esque "rock" |

| Jenny Lewis – Born Secular Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
probably the most interesting thing about this album is that it sounds so overtly christian/religious, but if you actually listen to the lyrics closely, its all about agnosticism and doubt. i didnt really realize this until i heard this song, then all the other songs took on a whole new meaning. i really like that jenny explores her faith or lack thereof instead of just blindly singing songs of praise and worship. i havent listened to another cd since i got this a month ago. 4 songs are already in my top 50 most played songs on itunes.... its so funny to me because i never listen to country and before only knew rilo kiley for portions for foxes |
