| Two Door Cinema Club – Undercover Martyn Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| The line "she spoke words that would melt in your hands" made me think of a little kid. Every once in a while they'll say something that just makes you melt, and it's unusual how wise it is. The kid is playing a game where she's on a mission, and she's hiding from her parents because she doesn't want to go out. And I'm not really sure they say car seat... But if they do, that just strengthens my theory. | |

I really don't think the main theme is religion, I think it's more about the line between right and wrong. In the first stanza, the speaker made some sort of mistake. Maybe he lost his job or something... And he's asking for the strength to keep his head up on his "way down". He wants to have style and grace about it instead of being a sore loser. His situation gets him thinking about his life/opinions. In the second stanza I get the feeling he's having a discussion with someone, and admitting that he was wrong. That his lectures about the right way to do things were a waste of time. He's realising that things aren't black and white. That sometimes there isn't a clear line between the correct way to lead your life and the incorrect one. 3rd stanza: He used to think he was better than others, perhaps because he's richer, a harder worker or more successful then them, but now he realises he might be worse off. He's fallen from grace and no longer has everything figured out. "*now* when we work out where to draw the line" it seems they worked it out before, and he was sure of himself, but now this confusion is a new thing. At the end he starts to regain hope. Maybe, just like his friend, he doesn't have to have his life's plan ready. Even though sometimes you feel all is lost, you never actually know where life and God will take you. |

| Radiohead – 2 + 2 = 5 (The Lukewarm) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I'm surprised only two people mentioned the Animal Farm reference in the video. I haven't read 1984, but to people saying the parallels between the song and the book are just a coincidence, I find it *very* hard to believe radiohead made references to two George Orwell books by accident. | |
| Lifehouse – First Time Lyrics | 16 years ago |

"Like being in love, she says For the first time" I think these two lines continue each other. They've been in love (with different people) before, and they were having trouble getting over it ("It's easier to be broken"). But now that they've found each other she says it feels like he's her first love. What they have is so special it's made them forget their old relationships. But I heard the song as "like being in love to feel for the first time," or is it "with you" instead of "to feel"? I checked a few lyrics sites and still am not sure. |

I think it's about a girl who's surrounded by parents/friends who are making up lies about the speaker. He's begging her to open her eyes to the truth, and see that he's really a good guy who loves her and it's them that she should leave behind. "'Cause they don't get your soul or your fire" made me think it's parents or friends. No matter how much you love friends in the end it's not the same as the passionate firey love you feel for a boyfriend. It's not the same as being someone's soulmate. "My bones ache, my skin feels cold" is him saying that even though her confusion is draining him, he won't let it get to him, he's gonna keep fighting for her. "And I won't feel these slices and cuts" he'll block out the insults being thrown at him by her friends/parents. "we'll walk from this dark room" refers to walking away from abusive/lying parents or a bad group of friends. "All this feels strange and untrue And I won't waste a minute without you" At the beginning it's about how he can't believe these people's opinion's are influencing her's (and there's a sorta nervous beat in the music) And at the end it's about how he's just so happy she choose him, he can hardly believe it after all they went through (and there's the excited celebratory beat to the music) |
