| Avril Lavigne – I'm With You Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
First thing's first, no one needs to get upset with producerboy. He's wrong, but since his username indicates that he's a producer of some sort, he'll have to come around eventually. You can't make a living producing bad music and being a rogue music snob. As a producer, you've got to accept and be able to identify good pop music. That said, I think this whole album is pretty brilliant pop music. As far as the meaning, someone mentioned that they think it's about a girl about to commit suicide... I don't think it's that at all. The "bridge" is figurative speech. She's just on the brink of an emotional breakdown is what it seems. Avril's music isn't dark enough to talk literally about suicide. That said, I love this song. |

| Phish – Lengthwise Lyrics | 24 years ago |
|
This is a really moving song about someone who shifts their sleeping position to accomodate a lover. "When you're there, I sleep lengthwise"- he becomes more reserved, more sensitive. "When you're gone, I sleep diagonal in my bed"- the revelation of the true self... the one who loves comfort and feels that his bed is his territory, where HE should be comfortable. Heh. Yeah. That's what I think. |

I've always felt as though the guy in this song was in love with a girl who's emotionally unstable, and who doesn't trust herself to love anyone. I feel as though when he talks about her talking in her sleep and how he can't sleep in a quiet room, he's wrestling with her instability and trying to convince himself that he can get past it, but he's having trouble coping with her demons and it leaves him in this awful sort of limbo... he loves her but can't get close to her. He wants to be the one to break through her walls, because he believes he can heal her, that he loves her enough to overcome all of that... but instead he's facing a less promising reality in which he realizes that there's no one who will get through to her until she's ready and can trust someone on her own. Ugh. Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt. |
