| Brand New – Jesus Christ Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I love how with the religious name, the religious flock. other than the obvious references, here are my thoughts. i think this song is just about feeling damned and stuck. There is this whole unknowing after death. The fear of death can create the fear of life like in the line "But I’m scared I’ll get scared and I swear I’ll try to nail you back up(and you won't know). So do you think that we could work out a sign? So I’ll know it’s you and that it's over so I won't even try." the things we do when we are younger and not even think about then, weigh in when get older and start thinking of what happens when we die. i think its just that. wondering if you have done enough to get in the good graces of god. and because there is nothing to use as a measurement, you just kinda get scared. |

| The Raconteurs – Steady, As She Goes Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
hide- i think, because of the last stanza, it means a girl has got "it" and you need "it". stablity...steady, kinda a play on words. "are you steady now?" are you stable, secure yet? that is jsut what i get. |

| The Postal Service – Sleeping In Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
some of you have it right. notice it says "strangest dream where everything was exactly how it seemed" coupled with the "sleeping in". the world doesn't make sense. i think the second stanza is about how people are oblivious in the real world. They would rather see destruction as a reward. He would rather sleep and see the world as a beautiful place than what it really is. How many people cure diseases or stop at a stop sign if there is no one around. in his head everyone is nice. |

| oh i just got the idea of like what is Hobson was was more like soneone he looked up to? like Conor read his books and it gave him ideas for songs? | |
| Bright Eyes – Light Pollution Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
The song is, i feel, about the way that the economy is today. i think that the name is just like a nickname for someone that Conor actually knows. like making a widely meaningless name like "bob" into something that has more depth. i think the actual car crash is just saying how like John acctually broke free. i am not so sure he is actually dead but more free from the worries of whether money and such will be there just my take on the song |

| Bright Eyes – A Song to Pass the Time Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
the general feeling of this song is so completely sad. just to want to give everything away to help everyone else because it kills to see the pain that is going. its universal...the pain that we feel. i mean think about it. every song you realy i mean REALLY feel connected to is sad. its how we connect. i felt this way when i left for college. it just sucked so bad and i needed the warmth of the love that felt so far away. Yes, I can be healed. There is someone looking for what I concealed in my secret drawer, in my pockets deep, you will find the reasons that I can’t sleep and you will still want me. but will you still want me? this is how i feel a lot about relationships. its like once they see the artist the dwells inside, they run away. maybe just once they won't... |

| Bright Eyes – June on the West Coast Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
its about the cycle of love and liking people. it changes like the seasons and the weather. in spring love is just beginning and in summer love is amazing, fall love is dieing and by winter your heart is frozen, you are hurt and can't imagine loving again. But you move on, just like the seasons. its kind of a sad song. love is never kept. and the truth is i’ve been dreaming of some tired tranquil place where the weather won’t get trapped inside my bones. like where one can settle down and get out of the cycle of it all. and it hurts that he’s still shaking from those secrets that were told by a car closed up airtight and a heart turned cold this almost sounds like a suicide. by carbon monoxide posioning, after death ones heart gets cold. i dunno. i could be way off |

| Bright Eyes – Make War Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
i think this song is about people changing. he is realizing that the relationship was all tiny acts of charity. "But standing there with all of my possessions piled higher than a house I felt closer to you than you ever would have known" is like he is moving out and in that moment he feels closer to her. and then the new guy is gonna try to change her. and he will realize what the first person in the song realized and then want out. |
