| Arctic Monkeys – Cigarette Smoker Fiona Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Most of the song is pretty self explanatory, clearly about a rich posh girl having a party while her parents are away and she's clearly losing it a bit, but I think the one thing I'd definitely say is that I really believe the "cigarette smoker" is sarcastic and that she's not just smoking tobacco but weed which ties in well with the ending all about the disguise not working. I think it may have been some dodgey stuff or it has just not gone down well with her due to her usually proper sounding environment and that's why she's losing it and that's what he's referring to when he says "how much you've had" etc in the chorus as there is no mention of her drinking throughout the song and that's why there's such strong emphasis on the fact she's smoking. | |
| Arctic Monkeys – Temptation Greets You Like Your Naughty Friend Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I really see this song about him meeting someone he really likes but not making a move because he can't stand the thought of her being an ex he's bitter towards someday. don't ever want to hate you, So don't show me your bed, The only roads are cul-de-sacs, The first thing that she said. (He doesn't ever want to view her bitterly and learn her bad qualities because she's so perfect to him so he doesn't want her to complicate what they have and how happy they make each other by making it serious and complicating it by taking it to the next step which is obviously sex) Temptation, greets you like your naughty mate, The one that used to get you in bother, But one you could never bring yourself to hate. (he's so tempted to sleep with her and make it into something. This feeling of temptation is something he's use to as it is what has brought him into relationships before and it annoys him but he can't hate it because everyone likes the fun start of things) And she said we've got that spark, That only lights a fuse, Helps you see in the dark, But it's a sight you'll lose when, The temptation greets you like your naughty friend. (everything is made all the worse for him as the girl also feels what he feels and finds it special too so it becomes so close again but then he reminds himself that this will all end in tears as temptation ruins relationships for him by making him do bad things such as cheat) I don't ever want to hate you, So don't show me your bed, The only roads are cul-de-sacs, The only ends are dead. (saying the same as before, the last two lines basically saying there's no way round what'd happen, it would definitely end badly) Temptation greets you like your naughty mate, One that made you steal and set things on fire, But one you haven't seen of late. (temptation is what has caused him to ruin relationships before, by causing him to be deceptive (steal) and just mess everything up (set things on fire) but he has not felt this feeling of temptation in a while as it only comes around when something good actually happens to him to ruin it) And I said that kind of talk, Only adds intrigue, To the cauldron of thought, It's already exceeding, Temptation, the very thing that held her back. (he's telling her how her words of acknowledging their feelings is only going to make it worse because it will just hurt him more and make it harder to resist and make him think what could be) I don't ever want to hate you, It's not part of the plan, So keep your charm where I can't see it, And your hands where I can. (really clever lines, basically saying that it's not in his agenda to ever hate her as he thinks she's great, so to not tempt him anymore she shouldn't act promiscuously or charm him anymore as he will just fall for her even more and to keep her hands away from him or he won't be able to help himself if she seduces him) We used to be in tight me and my naughty friends, Caused enticement ? in the air, I mean day 'n' night, We robbed, we stole, we loved to fight, Smoking, drinking, joyriding, Drugs, thugs, not law-abiding, Reckless gangsters ? no direction, No sign of correction, But then I switched it off, Changed my ways, What the hell! Like oh my days, But like my naughty friends, They're not phased, Can't believe that this music pays, See no reason why we can't do, All the things we've always done, Still in my heart I know that's just what, But its hard to fight the temptation son. (this part is completely bias and I know there probably is a good explanation but in my personal opinion I find this part really ruins what is an amazing song, I skip this part on my IPod and I don't think its terribly relevant so I know there probably is meaning in it but I just don't like it) The panic will fall down around you, If you don't do what I say. (she's going to panic as he becomes a very different man when temptations there so she will be really shocked if she does try to seduce him as she'll be greeted with a completely different, not as nice human being and she'll realize his bad traits) |

| Arctic Monkeys – Dance Little Liar Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Arctic Monkeys are my favorite band and I personally believe this is one of their best written songs, it's almost like a poem to music, I love it and it is definitely about lying about an affair and just the act of lying itself. I heard the truth was built to bend A mechanism to suspend the guilt Is what you are requiring still You've got to dance little liar This part is pretty straight forward and shows just how frequently he lies, with him saying he uses it to not only delay the upset it will cause the girl and the probable end to his relationship but his own guilt so is lying to himself and uses these little possibly white lies to tell himself it's okay. The "dance little liar" is describing thinking on your feet and the over the top things he's doing to get her attention away from any suspicion. Just like those fibbs that pop and fizz And you'll be forced to take that awful quiz And you're bound to trip And she'll detect the fiction on Your lips and dig a contradiction up Saying that the lies "pop and fizz" is meaning just how easy they fall of the tongue and how well they work. Then the next bit about the "awful quiz" I personally believe is referring to the paranoia he's going through as I don't think it's a "quiz" at all, I don't believe she's confronting him but simply asking what he was up to that day or something just to make conversation but he see's it as this quiz because he knows he's forced to come up with lies on the spot that can't possibly all tie up (bound to trip) and then she may just question something lightly about times, in a non suspicious way but his guilt, driving him crazy immediately sends him into a panic and he's sure that she's worked him out. And the clean coming will hurt And you can never get it spotless When there's dirt beneath the dirt The liar take a lot less time This is almost him justifying to himself why he's doing this, that what he's doing currently will hurt her less and that he can't come out about one lie without revealing another so he can never completely fix it now anyway because there is millions all connected and stacked up (dirt beneath the dirt) and then finishes by saying this will just be easier and save them all the drama. I'm sure it's clear and plain to me Its not an alibi you need just yet Oh no it's something for those beads of sweat Yes that we'll get you back to normal He then comes back from his panic when the girl just carries on with the conversation as as I said she wasn't actually trying to cross examine him, she's just making chat, so then he has the relief of knowing he doesn't need to lie again about where he was and all he needs to focus on is calming down. And after you have dabbed the patch you'll grieve And then proceed to scratch the varnish off That newly added calmness So as not to raise any alarms too soon This is basically saying that after he's got over the panic and calmed down the sweat patch, he won't stay calm for long as he needs to do something else big and dramatic to divert her attention so will randomly "grieve" at her so that she will be distracted by the drama and not be focused on the gaps in his story or whatever it is with him that looks suspicious. The liar takes a lot less Time to decide on his saunter Have you got itchy bones And in all your time alone Can you hack your mind being riddled With the wrong memories Here I think his condoling himself is interrupted by her saying she's going home so it's now a panic on which way to walk her that this other girl won't see her (the saunter) and then the last bit is him having a last check like is he nervously scratching at himself and then finally he goes back to saying he just doesn't have it in him to tell her because he doesn't think she'll be able to cope with the fact that all these perfect memories she has of them as a couple are all lies because he's been going behind her back the whole time so would rather let her believe what she likes. I know I have probably looked too far into this but I love this song and I just see it as telling this story. |

| Arctic Monkeys – Do Me a Favour Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I think its about a relationship which has ended but he can't give up and keeps thinking there is hope so he's asking her to just be blunt and tell him it won't so he's not left keeping hoping because she keeps leading him on. Well, the morning was complete There was tears on the steering wheel, dripping on the seat Several hours or several weeks I'd have the cheek to say they're equally as bleak! (he's been miserable for so long about their break up but he's still constantly chasing after her) It's the beginning of the end; the car went up the hill And disappeared around the bend; ask anyone, they'll tell you that It's these times that it tends The start to breaking up, to start to fall apart Oh! Hold on to your heart (he knows its over but he's still kind of hopeful, telling her to hold on to what they had) Do me a favor, break my nose! Do me a favor, tell me to go away! Do me a favor, stop asking questions! (he's come to his senses and knows that its not going to work or happen and he wants her to do all these things just to prove to him how much she doesn't care) She walked away while her shoes were untied And the eyes were all red You could see that we've cried, and I watched, and I waited Till she was inside, forcing a smile and waving goodbye (the result of their vicious arguing, maybe him thinking that she must care because she cries but he knows he's been horrible) Curiosity becomes a heavy load Too heavy to hold, too heavy to hold Curiosity becomes a heavy load Too heavy to hold, will force you to be cold (he's explaining why he's being horrible because he's stuck in this curiosity constantly wishing and overthinking and hoping) And do me a favor, and ask, if you need some help! She said, do me a favor, and stop flattering yourself! (he's getting bitter again and saying she needs help because he gets this sick pleasure from winding him up and leading him on and she comes back with saying to basically stop presuming she'd want anything to do with him anymore) How to tear apart the ties that bind Perhaps 'fuck off' might be too kind Perhaps 'fuck off' might be too kind (if he's going to finally get the message he needs to break from her and get over her and he wants her to be as harsh as she can therefor saying that even fuck off is kind compared to how blunt he needs to hear it. |

| Arctic Monkeys – Love Is a Laserquest Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This is an absolutely perfect break up song, beautifully sung and so sad. Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now Or, darling, have you started feeling old yet (she was always quite young and immature and shes always dreamed of growing up naturally but its just not happened) Don't worry, I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts With the efficiency that only youth can harness (Pretty self explanitory, saying she's still beautiful and young) And do you still think love is a Laserquest Or do you take it all more seriously (Think the way he sings this is beautiful because he sounds so heartbroken and like he's falling apart, basically I take this as meaning that the couple had a messy break up, they're both broken hearted and helpless without each other so he's asking if shes done playing games and saying in a kind of cynical, sarcastic way "is this still fun?" I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had But you're always busy being make-believe ( this has no reference to drugs or even litterly meaning she's the one playing make believe, this is him saying how he has practiced in his head a million times what to say to her but it's all in his head, make beleive like its just his thoughts of her) And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there Or have somebody's good-night kisses got that covered (He knows she's feeling numb so asking her if she has to look in the mirror to realise any of this is real or does she get reminded by feeling instead by having sex with different men) Well I'm not being honest, I'll pretend that you were just some lover (think this is a great description of what people have to do when they break up, just pretend yeah they were just someone I had a thing with or whatever when really she touched his life far more than he can even explain) Now I can't think of air without thinking of you I doubt that comes as a surprise (everything reminds him of her and he knows she knows what a state hes in about her) And I can't think of anything to dream about I can't find anywhere to hide (he never escapes his thoughts about her) And when I'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes And I convince myself I need another (he's barely living anymore and he can't sleep, always has rings round his eyes and looks ill, he tries to convince himself he should find another girl) And for a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover (he likes to pretend she was just a lover nothing really important and that makes it easier) When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair Singing dreadful songs about something (I think this is him saying he knows they will get back together and this time they'll stay forever, like hes talking about them growing old together) Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover (He's found a better method, he's told her instead of pretending its not killing him, he's being open no matter how embarrasing it is) |

| Arctic Monkeys – R U Mine? Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Definately about the off and ons of him and Alexa Chung. Really clever song about just being driven crazy by game playing. I'm a puppet on a string Tracy Island, time-traveling Diamond cutter shaped heartaches Come to find ya four in some velvet morning Years too late She’s a silver lining lone ranger riding Through an open space In my mind when she’s not right there beside me (First line: him describing how much she controls him as if hes just her puppet. Second: I think its just him trying to say how all over the place he is Third: great line, bascially saying descrbing his heart aches to being cut by diamond emphisising the pain as well as diamond being a connataion of beauty, maybe she wears diamonds and it reminds him of her. Fourth/fifth: Saying she's pefect and then saying how lonely he is, how far away she is. Sixth: rounding off the previous line by saying how crazy it makes him when shes not right there) I go crazy 'cause here isn’t where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can’t help myself, All I wanna hear her say is “Are you mine?” Well, are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine? (First line: In a litteral and nonlitteral sense, like he doesn't want to be anywhere shes not so he goes crazy whenever he's not in the place she is and its where he doesn't want to be and in the way that he doesn't want to be in the position they are right now always playing games and not knowing where they stand. Second: speaks for itself, great line just saying how he's never fully satisfied like when he properly had her. Third: he can't keep the games together anymore, he can't keep just playing it cool Fourth: he wants her to be driven crazy too and just ask if he's hers instead of keeping playing games Fifth/sixth/seventh: him keeping wanting to ask her I guess what I’m trying to say is I need the deep end Keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes Unfair we’re not somewhere misbehaving for days Great escape lost track of time and space She’s a silver lining climbing on my desire (First: He's trying to calm down and put it in a more laid back way to save face saying he just needs to know and have it all or none instead of being so open like he just was. Second: He spends his whole life imagining getting to be with her and meeting her now and he's wishing away his lifetime by spending his whole life wishing. Third: He just wants to be back to how they were when all they'd do is stay together and "misbehave" Fourth: nothing else mattered to them, they just escaped from the rest of the world and time was endless Fifth: calling her perfect again and knowing she's all he wants) And I go crazy cause here isn’t where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can’t help myself, All I wanna hear her say is “Are you mine?” Well, are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow?) Are you mine? (Or just mine tonight?) Are you mine? (Are you mine?) (This whole bit is just saying how he thinks the fact their together tonight is just so she can have a bit of fun and he's asking will you actually stay with me past tonight) And the thrill of the chase moves in mysterious ways So in case I’m mistaken, I just wanna hear you say "you got me baby" Are you mine? (First line: speaks for itself, brilliant line. Second line: him thinking what if it is all actually in his head and he's mistaken. Third/fourth: speak for thereselfs again. She’s a silver lining lone ranger riding through an open space In my mind when she’s not right there beside me I go crazy cause here isn’t where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can’t help myself, All I wanna hear her say is “Are you mine?” Well, are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow?) Are you mine? (Or just mine tonight?) Are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow or just mine tonight?) |

| Joy Division – Love Will Tear Us Apart Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
In my opinion this song is about a couple who are so intense and argumentative that all they ever do is hurt each other but they just can't let go of it. When routine bites hard, And ambitions are low, And resentment rides high, But emotions won't grow, And we're changing our ways, taking different roads. (This is talking about how bad their relationship is and how they don't make each other happy anymore but that doesn't mean they could be without) Then love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. (the fact he says "then" suggests he is saying that when they lose all hope and think they can't possibly love each other if they're this unhappy then they get reminded how much they need each other when their feelings fuck them up) Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side. Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry. Yet there's still this appeal That we've kept through our lives. (This is a clever bit, the first line is saying how they although they still have sex because of all the passion they have she has turned away on her side from him and no longer cuddles and talks with him after it anymore she just turns away from him because she's probably still angry at him. The second and third line are him questioning maybe it is his fault but then he thinks that they just have so little respect for each other now due to how much they argue and hurt each other. The last two lines of this verse are him speaking about how regardless of all this, they both still want to be together) But love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. (He knows they'll both get hurt again) You cry out in your sleep, All my failings exposed. And there's a taste in my mouth, As desperation takes hold. Just that something so good just can't function no more. (The first line: Her dreams are even haunting her she's so depressed but it shows how he can' sleep and still watches her sleep like a lot of couples do when in love. The second line: He knows he's let her down and failed her and doesn't want her to feel this way. The third/fourth line: He just wants to wake her up and just beg for it to work because its all he wants The fifth line: speaks for itself, its just not working and he's aware of that but he just can't let go) But love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. |

| Nirvana – Come As You Are Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I think this song is about being cynical about meeting an ex who you are still in love with but you have such a negative emotionally drained view on them now. Come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be; (him saying be who you were before you changed and it got bad and be who I want you to be, expressing how he's aware of his selfishness) As a friend, as a friend, as and old enemy. (I think friend is quite sarcastic and maybe the word his ex used to describe what they are now knowing that they could never just be friends, the old enemy part referring to all the fights they had and how it did cause them to hate each other) Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don't be late. (this is him being so unsure of what he wants and just kind of over thinking and confusing things kind of him saying I know you're going to hurt me so do what you want) Take a rest as a friend as and old memori-a, Memori-a, memori-a, memori-a, memori-a (telling her to rest with him, not to speak about all their problems and think about their memories) Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach, as I want you to be; As a trend, as a friend as an old memori-a, memori -a, (this is him saying be any way you want because he'll still love her by using the metaphor of two opposite things then the trend going back to being cynical by suggesting that he was good for her image and was just a trend to her) And I swear that I don't have a gun. No, I don't have a gun. No, I don't have a gun. Memori-a, memori-a, memori-a, memori-a, And I swear that I don't have a gun. No, I don't have a gun. No, I don't have a gun. No, I don't have a gun. No, I don't have a gun. (this is him telling her that he's not going to kill himself because of her, answering her question saying that he doesn't have a gun and he's not going to do it but they both kind of know its a lie) |

| The Wombats – Jump Into The Fog Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| This song is obviously about a one night stand. However, it's not like a party kind of slut song. I think it sounds really sad and in my opinion it sounds like he's just broken up with someone who he loves and he's really upset about it and wants her back but has tried really hard and is now kind of at the stage where he's just having mindless sex with everyone to kind of fill the gap (pardon the pun) | |
| Chase and Status – End Credits [Video] Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| An amazing song. About the singer being left by his girlfriend and wanting to kill himself hoping that she will care if he does and wonders if she will try to stop him. | |
| The Strokes – Heart In A Cage Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I think this song is about him not being able to admit his feelings for his ex because he wants to keep face but it is really killing him. In the first verse he is talking about how maybe people are pressuring him into telling her and accusing him of not confessing for the right of his music which they think is wrong. He's almost arguing back with them here saying that he knows he doesn't feel good when he's just sleeping around and he doesn't write better music when he's down in the dumps. (I also have always thought this line is maybe a dig at singers/song writters who claim they write better when they're on drugs as an excuse). And obviously just saying for them not to try and teach him anything and he knows he's doing crap. "The heart beats in its cage" is him telling us how his feelings and heart are all locked up and not coming out. The second verse is quoting him on all the lies hes telling her by saying he doesn't love her and denying it for the reason we don't find out and he's just telling her all this crap almost as if to hurt her. The next bit then being him sort of breaking down in anger at himself when he leaves because he didn't just say how he felt. The eating alone bit I think maybe being a reference to them staying up late together just talking and eating like they used to but now he's saying how she's doing this alone. The next verse is him now trying to explain himself to her now that theres no one on his back and he's trying to be honest but he's too late and she's not putting up with it anymore. Then the following verse is him trying to find her at his concert and he's searching through the crowd but she's not there anymore and he's talking about how he got so excited thinking she'd still come and now he's the one being let down. It's all a really powerful song. |

| The Vaccines – Post Break-Up Sex Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| This song is about the singer having just broken up with someone and still loves and misses her but is trying to move on so decides to have sex with someone at a party. Him and this girl agree that they are going to just have no strings attached "Post break-up" sex. However, after it she suddenly starts to talk deep with him, starts admitting her feelings for him and is getting hurt at how he isn't making it more. He is really frustrated at this as he is trying his best to keep it together because he's so upset so he doesn't need this girl who doesn't know him trying to butt in. He's trying to break it to her but is really pissed off because they agreed this was all it was and now he just feels even more of a mess than before and regrets it. This is him speaking to her and getting annoyed asking "what did she expect?" when she is shocked he doesn't want a relationship or any more contact from her. This song is not about him being a bad guy and hurting people, it's simply showing how much of a wreck he is about his ex and this is him falling apart when he realises he has definately done the wrong thing. | |
| Lana Del Rey – Off to the Races Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This whole song is about the book and film Lana Del Rey claims she loves: Lolita. If you watch the film it will all make sense and it's a pet peeve of mine people that claim they love this song without having any idea what its about and just thinking it's another love story. It's more than that as in this song Lana sings as if she is Lolita even from her voice which she makes very child like throughout, even the words are sung from the perspective of a child such as the bit where she almost breaks down about her feelings and sings "My old man is a thief, and I'm gonna stay and pray with him till the end But I trust in the decision of the LORD, To watch over us Take him when he may, if he may I'm not afraid to say That I'd die without him Who else is gonna put up with me this way I need you, I breathe you, I'D never leave you They would rue the day, I was alone without you You're lying with your gold chain on Cigar hanging from your lips I said hon' you never looked so beautiful As you do now my man This bit is very childlike as if she is throwing down all her feelings like she's probbably heard about in the movies and its all very desperate like you get over your first love and you think it will never end. It also highlights how much older Lolita (Lana Del Rey) thinks she is by saying all this. Absolutely love. |

| alt-J – Breezeblocks Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This is my favourite Alt-J song, if not my favourite song of all time. This song is a really sinister love story. It is about a man (the singer) who is so in love with his girlfriend/wife who is planning on leaving him therefor he kills her to stop her from escaping him. The video shows this and is all in reverse of him killing her. It all makes sense if you watch the video and personally I think my favourite part is when he sings in begging kind of tone "But please don’t go I love you so my lovely Please don’t go, please don’t go, I love you so, I love you so Please don’t go, please don’t go, I love you so, I love you so Please break my heart, hey" etc as I think this is him begging her to stay and you hear the desperation in his voice at this part "please break my heart" is a beautiful line as it shows he would rather she broke his heart by not truly loving him but staying with him than her leaving but obviously she doesn't give in as he kills her, it also sounds as if it was maybe an excuse she gave him for leaving saying she would "break his heart" but he wants her to as long as she stays with him. Beautifully twisted. Love it. |

| Panic! at the Disco – The Ballad of Mona Lisa Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
She paints her fingers with a close precision He starts to notice empty bottles of gin And takes a moment to assess the sin She's paid for "She paints her fingers with a close precision" This is him describing the way she causes so much trouble and there's so much to be dealt with but she is focusing on getting her appearance right and that's all she's bothered or focusing about. "He starts to notice empty bottles of gin" he's starting to realise how much he's been drinking away his troubles. He then takes a minute to think about everything wrong and "she's paid for" meaning that it's her fault. A lonely speaker in a conversation Her words are swimming through his ears again There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you've paid for The first line is brilliant, this is him saying she's not listening to him, she's not speaking back he's just trying to go through everything by himself without her help. "Her words are swimming through his ears again" this is basically saying he's eating up anything she says, it doesn't matter what it is, it will just swim in his ears and make him smile because she's giving him attention. The last line is him telling us how he's about to give her a taste of her own medicine, she's about to get "what she's paid for". Say what you mean Tell me I'm right And let the sun rain down on me Give me a sign I want to believe This whole bit is him being unsure of what he wants, all the lines contradict, he's saying "say what you mean" meaning tell me what you're really thinking, then "tell me I'm right" this is him wanting to hear that he's the right one and that's all he want to hear. The sun rain down on me line is great, this is him saying that the sun is the truth, he will have the truth, but he knows it isn't going to be what he wants to hear so it's going to "rain" down on him. Then he goes back to contradicting himself with 'give me a sign I want to beleive' which basically means feed me a lie that he wants to eat up. Woah, Mona Lisa, You're guaranteed to run this town Woah, Mona Lisa, I'd pay to see you frown This is him describing her to the famous Mona Lisa who is known for her mysterious smile that gives nothing away, he's saying that she will run the town, by showing no emotions she will dominate everyone but he would pay to see her frown show, for her to show she's sad, he's basically saying he wants to hurt her. He senses something, call it desperation Another dollar, another day And if she had the proper words to say, She would tell him But she'd have nothing left to sell him He senses she's running out of excuses and this is where the "desperation" comes in because she's getting anxious and worried that she has no more lies this is reinforced with the last line 'if she had the proper words to say she would tell hi, but she'd have nothing left to see him' this is basically if she had the proper words and knew how to put it, she would say it, but then she'd have no more lie telling and she would give away her emotionless act. Mona Lisa, wear me out Pleased to please ya Mona Lisa, wear me out This is him asking her to get bored of hurting him, for her to break him to pieces and tell him it's over so he can stop trying and be 'worn out' so that he doesn't have to keep going on like this. The "pleased to please ya" is brilliantly sarcastic. There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you've paid for This finishing line gives me chills, the evil way he says it shows just how far he's willing to go to upset his lover and that he won't stop until he does. |

| Arctic Monkeys – Too Much to Ask Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Arctic Monkeys are my favourite band and this is definately one of my favourite songs by them. This is utterly genius, there isn't one line I don't love! I think I love it so much because it explains PERFECTLY exactly what me and my now ex just went through. It's the perfect explanation of what happens at the end of a relationship, especially one that was so amazing to begin with, which is the worst type of all. | |

I think this is about the singer being in love with the girl that's having an affair with him from her boyfriend. Are you worth your weight in gold? 'Cause you're behind my eyelids when I'm all alone Hey, stranger, I want you to catch me like a cold You and God both got the guns When you shoot I think I'd duck He's basically saying: are you worth all the hassle you cause? Are you worth all the sneaking around we have to do? She's all he thinks about 'hey stranger' is quite a sarcastic way of putting what they act like when around other people like they're strangers and he's saying he wants her to 'catch him' (fall for him) the way he picks a cold of all things is interesting and I think he's playing on the fact a cold is uncurable, he doesn't want her to get rid of him. I led the revolution in my bedroom And I set all the zippers free We said no more wars, no more clothes, give me peace Oh, kiss me This shows just how passionate a relationship they have and this is obviously the build up to the sex. (Hey, hey) We are a hurricane Drop our anchors in a storm (Hey) They will never be the same A fire in a flask to keep us warm 'Cause they know, I know That they don't look like me Oh they know, I know That they don't sound like me I think the chorus is actually quite romantic. It's saying they they're a hurricane, they're so crazy about each other it's wild sometimes but they're dropping their 'anchors' because they're going to stay and sit out the 'storm' (the risk of being caught). The 'they' in they will never be the same I think is his emotions, he's saying when she's gone his emotions will never be the same for anyone else and 'fire and a flask to keep us warm' suggests all they have is each other against the world because of how many people would go mental if they found out about them. They 'they know I know that they don't look like me' bit is basically him saying, leave the other boys, you know I love you the most, they don't look at her in the same smitten way and they don't romance her with the same heartfelt words therefore not 'looking' or 'sounding' like him. You'll dance to anything (x2) This bit is basically again doubting weather or not the girl is worth all this damage, he's saying how she'll dance to anything which basically means she'll sleep with anyone. She just goes with the flow and he isn't sure if she properly loves him like he does with her. He's also a bit paranoid that maybe he's not the only one she's cheating on her boyfriend with. Oh I confess, I confess to the rumor of us But he didn't come and speak to me Oh put my heart at ease And I believe that half the time I am a wolf among the sheep Gnawing at the wool over my eyes This is him telling her how he's told everyone how he feels about her but is reassuring her the boyfriend hasn't spoke to him. He's then asking her to put his heart at ease, to tell him what's going on with them because he can't stand not being with her. 'And I believe that half the time I am a wolf among the sheep gnawing at the wool over my eyes' means that he feels he's only one of many boys she has on the go but he knows that he isn't as lenient as them because he's not a sheep he's a wolf, he's different from the other boys that put up with her crap but he feels the wool over his eyes as if he is becoming one of the boys that put up with her and the wools over his eyes because he doesn't and can't see what she's really like. Fix me, or conflict me I'll take anything Fix me, or just conflict me 'Cause I'll take anything He wants her to fix him by telling him she loves him and that she wants to be with him but if she can't do that then he just wants her to argue with him, he wants her to do anything that means he gets to be around her, he loves her and will 'take anything' he's so desperately in love that even the thought of arguing is brilliant because at least their speaking. |

| Bombay Bicycle Club – Lights Out, Words Gone Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I think this is a song about the singer being dumped because the girl wants to go and explore instead of settling down so he's telling her that when the 'lights' (the excitement of everything she wants to see) are 'out' and 'words' (the words the boys she meet will compliment her) have 'gone' and she's done, he wants to be the one to 'try it on' as in try her on again, asking her to try settling down. Keep your old and wasted words My heart is breaking like you heard but the town has always turned these lies and make them all burn This is him telling her to save her apologies that she tries to make when word gets to her about how heartbroken he is. He blames the thrills of the town that excite her for tearing them apart and calls all the rumours about the city being fun the lies that are burning him. Can you feel the leeches bite That boy did she took out tonight He's brave and walking sure through all the spots you're working for 'Can you feel the leeches bite' is an amazing line. The leeches are the people and he's feeling them 'bite' by the sort of things they are saying, the rumours they are telling him about her and it's painful. 'He's brave and walking sure through all the spots you're working for' This is him saying this boy she's with tonight is perfect for all the things she's trying and wants to be and the boy knows it. He's ticking all the boxes of what this new her wants. |

| Two Door Cinema Club – Costume Party Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I think this is about a relationship where they're not telling each other enough, there's too many games and it's driving him crazy. The 'too young' he describes her as is not actually implying to her age, it's calling her immature and saying how she doesn't understand how this is upsetting him. The 'no-one thinks what I'm doing is the right way forward, You'll see it's not just a dream now' is about how his friends are telling him he might lose what he has if he confesses everything and they're telling him that it's all in his head but he's going to prove to them 'its not just a dream' and show them that something is wrong when he speaks to her. The 'you think you know, you don't know' is just him saying how much she thinks she knows what's going on but she really has no idea. The costume party bit is him having finally spoken to her and she said something honest that caused him to end it therefore this big 'costume party' that is their relationship being over, before he even gets a chance to fix it. | |
