Sometimes, you feel like youre trapped in a haunted house, but that doesnt stop the world from being beautiful |

| Owl City – The Yacht Club Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I stood under the waterfall with a kiwi pineapple parasol As cinderella dropped a crystal ball And made a concrete cavern of caterpillar concert hall i dont understand this part, although i love the ideas of caterpillars dressed up in little tuxedoes and watching an orchestra. Teeheehee |

| If this house is my "home", whats missing and making me lonely? | |
| Owl City – Strawberry Avalanche Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Despite Urban Dictionarys definition, Strawberry Avalanche is not vaginal blood. Its about a rush of sweetness, in the most literal way, but a better translation would be something that just fills you with joy and loveliness | |
| Owl City – Swimming In Miami Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Line by line- Im a relaxed person who loves to drift off When im done with something, i enjoy the feeling of a huge burden being lifted off my shoulders I have a LOT of love for you After work is over, everything is lovely I mean it, a LOT of love When you are feeling incredibly lazy, you dont ever worry about anything But if youre lonely and depressed, make yourself free Most people hate their job, but the feeling of accomplishment afterwards is great ^^ when you are finally free and happy, ill be there with you So this song is mainly sending the message about how much adam loves to relax, especially after work |
|
| Owl City – Hospital Flowers Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Despite the opening line of "I survived", i like to think of this song being about someone who gets in a wreck and dies in the hospital, and what its like going to heaven. I feel like the second verse and the bridge especially paint a beautiful picture of the happiness and peace someone feels when entering heaven. I know this wasnt Adams intention, but i like it even better. It gives the song a little deeper meaning. | |

|
I think it might be about a child getting abducted and molested...and liking it? Lol jk, i love this |
|
| Swimming With Dolphins – Holiday Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This is an awesome song about how even how the cutest, picture perfect relationships can fall apart. But towards the end, theres some hints getting dropped that they want eachother back, because whenever theyre with eachother its like LIVIN IN A HOLIDAY, A HOLIDAYAYAYAY |
|
| Swimming With Dolphins – Easy Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Austin is in a relationship with this girl who doesnt seem to want to get serious. Basically this chorus is austin breaking up with this girl, and saying along the lines of, let me make this easy for you, we are through. Kind of like, this is what you want, so take it. B-tch | |
| Owl City – Rainbow Veins Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Busy city life Yet theres happiness Happiness is everywhere, even right above you It's night And its getting depressing Please, i must stay sane or Ill get depressed again Clearly ill be better soon, but I'll stay in this state for a while Dear holiday, make me happier This is my happy place but it's getting pulled down Confusion and bravery mingle together You're always busy, I feel your passion for moving to quickly let's just find somewhere to be together for a while There the happiness is inevitable I never wanna let go of this memories (but apparently he has to cuz the girls depressed) Cheer up and don't cry And tell me when your having a hard time Cuz Ill help u make the most of the situation And send joy to your heart Because you're always upset And we should've known That we'd break up eventually Cuz we never spent any time together You're stressed Stop stressing before you fall apart Somewhere inside you is a happy thought Or at least a shred of a happy mood Still stressed Well I'm not, I'm happy The good old days and the new times are coming together now Most people like the future better But somehow it's all the same We used to be great It was a great time of my life I felt so in love When we were together -literal interpretation This is a really complicated song. I'd never thought I'd figure it out lol |

| Owl City – Vanilla Twilight Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Youre in heaven I lie awake and miss you I need to get back to reality Eventually ill fall asleep But ill miss you still I wish you were alive again Ill stay up all night But its not the same without you Because i have no one to talk to But its not too bad Till i look at my hands and feel sad Bc i remember holding hands with you Ill try to move on someway or another But its taking a while Cuz the remembrance of your death hurts me But in my sweet dreams I could sit up all night Submerged in thinking of you, bc it makes me feel like ur here When im finally able to move on I will, and ill feel alive again And when im reflecting on my past I wont ever forget you if i could go back in time Id tell u i wish u were here |

| Owl City – If My Heart Was a House Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I fell for you and i always remember how i feel when im holding you the sun is shining and warming us i get nervous but excited when we hold hands and sit right next to eachother i can tell u get nervous too when were dancing were growing apart and i shouldve known (are you ok) that id be sad without you (oh but youll be fine) so i should just forget about our troubles (here it goes) if my heart was a compass youd be north because you could walk around me and the needle of the compass would always point to you so let your troubles go and do what you want, and ill still be here if you dont make it no matter what you do you will always be in my heart you make me smile when you say i love you i would love it if we could reverse time and relive all our special moments together you wear a certain perfume, and it rubs off on all my clothes i feel sad when im not with you (are you ok) im ok but i still miss you (oh but youll be fine) so i may as well forget my troubles (here it goes) chorus repeats -literal intrpretation btdubbs, favorite owl city song <3 "as our fingers intwine, and ur sides harmonize with mine" awwww :) |

| Owl City – Tidal Wave Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I wish you would give me a chance to convince you that i do love you i wish instead of breaking promises, i only broke mirrors so i didnt have to look at myself anymore i wish i could hide my past so i dont have to worry if it will bring on something bad nobody knows how to avoid the bad things in the future, but i know God will help me through im not a very confident person i only know low self esteem which hits me so hard i get depressed depression please finish up i dont know how longer this can continue when i think things are gonna turn out ok, they never do, and my spirits get crushed (tidal wave part again) then God found me He healed me i have found hope in God He has given me courage everything hurts when youre depressed and you feel alone i dont know how things are gonna end and that scares me but its not hard to see God is with me and that makes me feel brave -literal meaning |

| Swimming With Dolphins – Sunset, 1989 DEMO Lyrics | 13 years ago |

This songs definitely about getting cheated on "i bet u thought id never found out cuz u think ur so clever" ah thats so awesome i just dont get the title of the song |
|
| Sky Sailing – Brielle Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
He wrote this song about a girl named brielle, who moved away to a town called brielle(he said it in an interview) that may not be exactly right but along those lines |
|
| Sky Sailing – Explorers Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This is so relaxing, i love it :) i think this song is one of Adams daydreamy songs, where its not just another love song, but it actually takes u on an adventure and gives u a clear picture of what he and his friend are doing together, kinda like a cute little story all i know is that it makes me want to explore some stuff |
|
| Sky Sailing – Alaska Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think this song is about Adam being under a lot of stress, but then something or someone relieving it. He starts feeling better, but hes still chasing a brighter day, but then he accepts that life isnt always perfect and where he is right now is just fine. "somehow i believe that this is home...its so good to be home" |

| Owl City – Rainbow Veins Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
ITS NOT ABOUT HEROIN try to stay with me here- her heart has a lack of color he wants to put color in it he says he'll shoot rainbow through her veins BECAUSE veins go to the heart NOT BECAUSE theyre on drugs therefore the rainbow goes to her heart, making it colorful! See how that works? |
|
| Owl City – Hot Air Balloon Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| This song is about remembering back to ur childhood, and having a best friend who u could play pretend and just have a blast with. Definitely reminds me of all the silly little games i played with my friend when we were really little :) | |
| Owl City – I'll Meet You There Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I dont think its about God or long distance at all. I think its just simply him crushing on a girl. Theres deeper meaning of course(there always is with adam) but i doubt its too deep | |
| Owl City – On The Wing Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think this song is about remembering a girl he liked back when he was a teenager, mostly bc of the "weekend we were in love" since lots of teens date for like 2 days and meet someone else 2 days later and then theyre "in love" only to move on every other day. Also he talks about going to arcades and parades | |
| Owl City – On The Wing Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Damn | |
| Owl City – Umbrella Beach Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| This song is about having a secret place you can escape to and be alone. As suggested by the video, the boxcar is something adam has to build himself, "out of reach", and the umbrella beach is his get away place, beautiful and totally hidden. Just my interpretation :) | |
| Owl City – Super Honeymoon Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think this song is about a girl who he really liked, but she was really popular so he daydreamed about her and them on their honeymoon, which consisted of unrealistic things like going to space. Also it just has that daydreamy feel to it, ya know? | |
| Owl City – Captains and Cruise Ships Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song is has a catchy beat, but analysing the lyrics show that its a really depressing lyrics. He misses this girl a lot, whos on vacation somewhere. Everything reminds him of her, but he cant do anything about it, and everything is different to him without her so he feels lonely. The end is about him getting sick of it And trying to get to her the only thing i dont like about the song is the name, bc it doesnt sum up the song like most of his others do, but what can i do? |
|
| Owl City – The Bird and the Worm Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I still dont understand why he used the metaphor bird and worm, they arent very sweet on eachother... Oh well, i love dissecting his songs, but not this one, id rather just love its catchy rhythm and the second verse cuz in the first one adam gets eaten alot |
|
| Owl City – The Bird and the Worm Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| That makes sense, i always thot it was about love so i wondered why would choose a bird and a worm bc they wouldnt be a very goodmatch lol | |
| Owl City – The Tip of the Iceberg Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I could go on and on and on about how much i love this song, and then some (: im pretty sure its about a guy and a girl who are in love, but they have some problems, (maybe the guy can be a jerk)so the guy wants to prove himself. At the part peer over the edge...its talking about the girl being hurt emotionally, but relates it to being hurt physically. Then comes ill travel the sub zero tundra...showing her all these things he would do for her to make her feel better. Then he continues to talk about their problems at farewell powdery...but in the end they are ok and keep eachother so warm and that is just the tip of iceberg of my interpretation, i could dissect each qnd every part :) #OwlCityLove |

| Owl City – The Tip of the Iceberg Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I also lol'd :D | |
| Owl City – Strawberry Avalanche Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Hes a christian with strong moral values, all of his "trippy" songs are from daydreaming and random experiences. For example, this song was written after he was thinking about an avalanche he saw while eating strawberries. Ik ik random but not mushroom random | |
| Owl City – If My Heart Was a House Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| ohhhh i get it now!!!! | |
| Owl City – The Saltwater Room (Ocean Eyes Album Version) Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
The chorus is easily about two people who are friends and they like eachother, but they dont know if they should date or not. The only tough line is "if this is what i call home, why does it feel so alone?" but i think it can translate to "if i love being with you so much, why are we not together?" as for the verses, they confuse me at some points. Ps i like the newer version better :D |
|
| Owl City – Air Traffic Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| The first paragraph describes a plane trip, idk what the next part is about. I was thinking maybe its about when they land, bit its hard to decipher | |
| Owl City – The Airway Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Agreed, especially "if only i could stay overhead in the airway" meaning if only he could be with her in heaven | |
| Owl City – Butterfly Wings Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song is about him and a girl, and he loves her so much she means more to him than he does himself(not in a bad way) and so by being so small like a rain drop ore one grain of sand, she is greater than him, a storm and a beach. Also hes afraid of losing her bc at the end of both verses he asks if something happened to him, would she still love him? By saying they both hope to get butterfly wings, hes saying that one day theyll both be great, and also equal. At the end, they both use their butterfly wings to fly, and they dont need feathers to fly because they are both great together the way they are idk if its all right, but i think it could be close |
|
| Owl City – Butterfly Wings Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Ocean eyes (the deluxe version, not the normal one) | |
| Owl City – To the Sky Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think its more about just going on an adventure with friends or family, and he mentions birds so much bc he wrote it for that owl movie. Then again, he does reference god in a lot of his songs | |
| Owl City – Tidal Wave Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I like how Adam uses more common metaphors in this song so its easier to understand. But yeah its definitely about be being depressed, then finding hope in God. Love this song :) | |
| Owl City – Dear Vienna Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| It could be a letter hes writing to a girl who may not appreciate life as he does, so hes writing to her and giving her advice on not to be depressed all the time like he used to be. When it comes to the dear vienna are u singing etc, hes asking her if she took his advice and is now happy, singing and swinging and whatnot | |
| Owl City – This Is the Future Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| The song is about learning to get through bad times, or getting over someone, not just a girlfriend but even a lost loved one. I listened to no other songs but this one when 4 kids tragically die at my school, an it really helped me through. Thank you Adam :) | |
| Owl City – Sunburn Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think its about two kids in love, but in the end the girl leaves him for a better guy (she got a tan[the better end of the deal]) and hes hurt (i got a sunburn[the negative opposite of a tan]) | |
| Owl City – Sunburn Lyrics | 13 years ago |

| Owl City – Designer Skyline Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I know it sounds corny but i think its about following ur dreams :) First he talks about having an idea, and working hard on it until u like it the next part is about making ur ideas come to life and finally he talks about the finished idea and looks back on it and enjoys it, and remembers back when he first started so in conclusion, follow ur dreams, and youll end up with something nice :D |
|
| Owl City – Rugs From Me To You Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song is about appreciating what u have, and really enjoying it. To emphasize the enjoyment thing, he made the song fun and catchy and very "punny" hehehehe also he loves his hair |

| Owl City – Hello Seattle Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Honestly, i dont find they sound alike at all And they created a genre? No! So all rock bands ripped off the rolling stones, or the beatles right? No, so just bc electronic is a rarer genre, doesnt mean owl city ripped them off |
