| Nada Surf – Popular Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I think it's very obvious that this is a boy who went out with the most popular girl in school who got dumped by this girl who has a one month limit on dating but prolonged breaking up with him, gave a flowery speech when she finally did it, and made it as painful as possible for him. This has caused him to become REALLY bitter about the "popular" people who feel they can walk all over people or even each other. All entirely sarcastic | |
| Lou Reed – Perfect Day Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I think it's intended to be not so much sarcastic, but, grim. I don't have my mind fully wrapped around it, but, I don't believe it is a happy song so much as an ironic one. It's very possibly about heroin, everything seemed more blissful and perfect, and it was that way because of the heroin. But, I also agree, that Lou Reed doesn't tend to veil his drug references that way. I guess my thought is, that whether this is about a person or drugs, it is not intended to be about how wonderful the world is, but how even if things seem great, they aren't. ("You're gonna reap just what you sow") |

| Travis – Blue Flashing Light Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I believe that I've read that the lead singers' mother was abused. I mean, it's obviously about abuse, and I think it's about people not stopping it and the impact that it has on the abused. | |
