| The Joy Formidable – The Leopard and the Lung Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| My favorite track off the album. Ritzy said in an XFM interview that the song is about Kenyan environmentalist and activist, Wangari Maathai. Her name translates to Leopard. She founded the Green Belt Movement and she among others planted "trees of peace" in the Karura Forest to protest its destruction. She believed trees to be the Lungs of the Earth. Hence, The Leopard and the Lung. | |

These are the correct lyrics: Hope it dries the mouth The enemy clear The trees pulled out The song That’s still within Flattens the void that Moi began Hate [x5] It’s gonna overrun this town As soon as the moon goes to nothing Wait [x5] They’re always gonna run you down It’s better to face my something So the roots were long Each flower a claw that reminds the man And love still kept you there The memory earthed for us to share You laid the land Laid bare So, all I do is stare Hate [x4] It’s gonna overrun this town It follows you everywhere They’re always gonna run you down It’s better to face my something [x2] You’re their fort standing Nothing can shake your walls One will that’s worth so many The leopard and the lung You’re their fort standing Nothing can shake your walls One will that’s worth so many The leopard at their throats You’re their fort standing [x5] Hate [x5] It’s gonna overrun this town As soon as the moon goes to nothing Wait [x5] They’re always gonna run you down It’s better to face, it’s better to face my something |

| Omar Rodriguez-Lopez – Where Are the Angels? Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| His reflection here is a part of his grieving process. | |
| Omar Rodriguez-Lopez – Where Are the Angels? Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
An ode to sinners. His perspective reflects on his likewise fate. It appears that he has killed his former lover. Unbeknownst where his angels were, and whether he will ever have another. "You heard the frown of the highway" The highway represents the path his life was on. The "frown" shows that it was not a good one. "It took all of your fear to give me back away" His lover did not like the path he was going, and left him. Because she left him, he murdered her. He is an angel-less sinner. |

| Santigold – Disparate Youth Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song is about a young couple in love... with all odds against them. The title "Disparate Youth" tells us that the young couple are disparate (definition: fundamentally distinct or different in kind; entirely dissimilar). As the saying goes, opposites attract. Love has given the two a dream of a life together. "You know now we want more." "A life worth fighting for." "Stormy weather" and "roadblock in our way" allude to the challenges they will face ahead, as they plan to have a future together. "If they (dreams) don't fly we will run" "push past to find out" implies that we will overcome those challenges. So let them say we can't do better Lay out the rules that we can't break They wanna sit and watch you wither Their legacy's too hard to take This insinuates that other people don't believe they will make it, or even want they to fail because they themselves have failed. They think this couple can't make it because of their own first or some other past love that failed. They can't get over that "legacy" of theirs so they are unable to welcome success to the couple. No matter though, the couple will "win what they all lost." In their heads pledging their beds In their eyes it shows When the freedom breaks Well then if you ask and they don't know Oh tell me that I turn my back while the odds all stand beneath me And they all said I was mislead But now the odds all stand beneath me This part of the song is a mesh of meanings. "In their heads, in their beds. "In their eyes it shows" reinforces that they couple are in love. The following lyrics add on to the doubt others have about them. "But now the odds all stand beneath me" means that they have risen above all odds. The song wraps up nicely with: We hear them run but don't hear what you say Now here we come can't throw nothing in our way The two lines refer to the earlier lyrics of running when dreams don't fly/carry them (overcoming challenges), not listening to other people doubting them, and claim that no roadblock or obstacle can get in the way of their love lasting. |

| The Weeknd – High for This Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Take a glass could mean one of two things. It could refer to the ecstasy being of high purity or it could simply mean a glass of alcohol. I think it probably means drinking alcohol based on the context of the song. A little liquid courage helps to give into temptation. Plus alcohol and E mix well. | |
| Radiohead – 15 Step Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I can definitely hear Galang. Thom Yorke said the song's beat was helped by inspiration from hearing Fuck the Pain Away by Peaches. "There's a track called '15 Steps' which was born out of a mad rhythm experiment that we did last year. At first we thought, "How the fuck can we pull this off live?" But then we were listening to 'Fuck The Pain Away' by Peaches a lot and that indirectly inspired us to turn it into something different. It's got a bass line like Airbag and it's in 5/4 time with this 'clapping' groove throughout." |

| Phantogram – Turning Into Stone Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song is about coping with death, and contemplation of suicide. The "line" refers to the split between life and death, and could even be symbolic of a flatline as one would see on a cardiograph. He feels he "belongs" with his love ones that passed and crossed over to the other side of the "line." At the drop, the "new ways of turning into stone" is a metaphor for his own gravestone. There are two possibilities for what this implies. Since gravestones have inscriptions it could symbolize new ways of being remembered by those living when he himself joins everyone across the line. The more grim perspective puts it at him finding a way to kill himself. Every day he comes with with "new ways" he could accomplish it. Perhaps it may be both, but I believe it refers to suicide. What follows gives ratification to the grim perspective that maybe he does in fact want to kill himself by bringing Mister Hyde to life. In the comic, the process that transforms Dr. Calvin Zabo into his Mr. Hyde persona is the ingestion of chemical formula. From the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Edward Hyde is also an evil persona onset from drinking potion. At the end of the novel Dr Jekyll says in a letter that he would become Mr Hyde permanently and he wondered if Hyde will face execution for his crimes or choose to kill himself. The letter ends saying "I bring the life of that unhappy Henry Jekyll to an end". "Ain't it lonely living all the time" gives justification that he is unhappy and depressed. He being Jekyll, the man on the inside; the man he wants destroyed. The "unconscious mind" is the conduit across the line ("take me for a ride.") The unconscious mind is reached by closing his eyes, or rolling his eyes back. This is a very sad song. He is still alive, alone, and unhappy, feeling like he should be dead and would be happier that way. |
