| The Platters – Smoke Gets In Your Eyes Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Smoke blurs one's vision and causes tears.. So does love. And so the song goes like this.. " They said someday you'll find, All who love are blind, Oh, when your heart's on fire, You must realize, Smoke gets in your eyes." Love is blind and we tend to overlook the flaws in the relationship, as if there's a smoke screen.. we just follow our feelings, instead of perceiving things for what they are. And like the illusion that we pretend it to be, it will bring sorrow and tears in our eyes when we have to face the reality that the love relationship will not work.. "When a lovely flame dies, Smoke gets in your eyes." when that lovely illusion ends, and one has to face the bitter truth that the love is not meant to last , then you realize that Love is like the smoke that blinds you and causes you tears of sorrow.." it's a very poignant song.. an all time classic.. |

| The Beautiful South – Everybody's Talking Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| It's about planning to leave your old life because nothing seems to make sense anymore in this world. The person wants a change of atmosphere or world, from a cold world to a warmer place, where people are perhaps more carefree, and less concerned with materialism.. He is going to a place where he is closer to nature, where life is simpler.. " where the sun keeps on shining through the pouring rain ".. It means , life there is still worry free in spite of adversity perhaps because it is generally a happier place , with a lower standard of living..No bills to pay, just spend to live for life, away from western world consumerism.. | |
| Glen Campbell – Gentle On My Mind Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| The man wants to be free of commitments , and doesnt want to be tied down.. He is a wanderer and would love to explore the world and travel. Life is a journey.. Someone in his life loves him unconditionally, loves him always whether he's near or far.. And he knows, he will be accepted anytime he comes back, whether he returns physically or by imagination.. That person touched his heart but he is a free spirit and he will wander and roam.. And yet, this object of his affection shall always be in his memory, and will forever be gentle on his mind.. | |
| Sneaker Pimps – Spin Spin Sugar Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It's about trying to fit in into society by being part of the bandwagon when she says I'm everyone.. she just has to agree and conform to what society wants her to be.. "Paint it black and white and easy" means there are no gray zones, only absolute opposites, either yes or no, for us or against us.. Hang your label on me is about society's consumerism.. To belong and to be a part of the group, she needs to be the consumer of the coolest products in the market.. "I want perfection, I'm in real need" Again, its about physical appearance and materialism. For society, physical image and the possession of things make the identity of the person, how we perceive their worth.. But then again, people who can afford to look that way, and own certain things, all look alike, and they lose their identity as a result of this superficiality.. Spin spin sugar means what it means.. We put up a front, and image that hides the our real character..Everything needs to look beautiful, wealthy, and conform.. It is perpetuated by media and society.. It is a deception , a fake facade of what things really are.. |

| Sneaker Pimps – 6 Underground Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It's about someone who is heavily addicted to drugs, there's simply no way out but 6 underground beccause it is a self destructive behavior. She's too deep into the flesh of this addiction that she'll do anything to support this addiction like prostitution.. Drugs are the only thing that matters to her. She is selfish, weak and has no friends. People are just her means of getting the drugs.. She also has very low self -esteem esteem and she is like in a downward descent 6 underground to this self-destructive behavior.. "Calm me down, bring it round Too way high off your street I can see like nothing else In me you're better than I wannabe Don't think 'cos I understand, I care, don't think 'cos I'm talking we're friends, Overground, watch this space, I'm open to falling from grace " |

| Portishead – Numb Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Ah what does the lyrics mean to me.. A lot of people say this is hard to interpret. I love profound lyrics.. Let me try.. Let's see..Hmmm Well the title of the song is called NUMB so that gives the clue.. It's about emotional detachment to one's true feelings , a detachment from one's true love.. living a life of deception perhaps..The inner child in herself is telling her of the happiness that comes with true love which she is afraid to face.. And yet, she is with someone that may not be her real love.. so in the end, she feels lonely and NUMB... |
