| Crystal Castles – Vanished Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
some of these lyrics seem off, but this song is amazing. maybe better than crimewave, I can't decide yet.
Anyway, I think this song is from the point of view a boy who is in love with a girl, but they party a lot and are really into night life, and soon she starts getting caught up in drugs and gets addicted and basically starts killing herself with them
"In the darkness, A killer awaits
To kill a life, And the lies you make
You do another, So this death can live"
the killer is the drug, and they may or may not already be in a relationship, and she keeps lying to him about the drugs and how much she's doing, but he's so caught up in the party scene that he doesn't really know how to help her either. |

I like this version a lot better too, but I'm glad they didn't change any of the lyrics in reference to gender. I think its better when they don't, like when Jack White covered Dolly Parton's "Jolene." |

this song is amazing. why havent more people commented on it? theres been a lot of covers of it.
I think its about violent love and abuse, but not necessarily bad abuse, mutual abuse maybe? |

| Owen Pallett – I'm Afraid Of Japan Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I think this song is about a man struggling to accept his homosexuality.
He is married to an asian girl (their bodies tend to be less curvy and developed, similar to males) but he knows he can't be with her because he is attracted to men. Chelsea is the famous gay neighbrohood in New York City. "I hear that death by burning means returning as a girl" might also mean that he is struggling with his gender as well. Seppuku is a japanese ritual of suicide samurais performed to avoid shame, so maybe he feels like he must kill himself to avoid the shame of knowing he is gay and living the lie that is his marriage.
"But all my efforts have only made
An army of greedy gays" |

| Travis – Baby One More Time (Britney Spears cover) Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
wow. I never really understood what this meant with britney singing it, but this awesome cover really clarifies the meaning.
the singer was in a relationship with a person who broke up with them, however they are still in love with their ex, and its really hurting them. so they continuosly try to get back with this person, even though they keep getting rejected and hurt: "hit me baby one more time"
they keep hoping eventually the person will come around and see how much they mean to them if they keep coming back, but they keep getting rejected, and it hurts because all they can think of is that one person. |

| I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness – When You Go Out Lyrics

This is about two friends who have feelings for each other, but they don't necessarily want those because they know their love won't last and they don't want to go through that pain, so they just avoid each other.
very sad, but an AWESOMELY good song. |

| Blonde Redhead – Elephant Woman Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
I thought this song was about the girls heart being broken. The 'angel' is the perfect person for her, but they are too perfect, and would never love her because she is just an elephant (ugly) girl.
"If you never return it
Will it break your wings
Will you shed no tear for broken me "
However, they are still nice to her and feel sorry for her, even though the perfect person will never return her love, and their niceness and caring for her just make her love them even more. |

| t.A.T.u. – Malchik Gay Lyrics
| 18 years ago

this song is so fun to listen to it (I have the russian version). Everyone's pointed out the obvious meaning (girl falls in love with gay male friend.)
I think this line is interesting:
want to be the object, object, object, object,
Of your passions body hopeless
She is pointing out the only reason he doesn't love her is because of her female body. I love how most of Tatu's songs are very gender oriented and have homosexual themes, and arent strictly about being helpless teen lesbians (even if those are good songs too). |

is it right for her to fight for her man?
I have been in a situation similar to this.. and even though I knew that I shouldn't be pushing for someone who loved someone else, I still loved them and did it anyway.
should people do this? anyone's opinon would be great.. |

| M.I.A. – Amazon Lyrics

My favorite part of the song is:
Minutes turned to hours
And became our dates
When we shared raindrops
That turned into lakes
Bodies started merging
And the lines got grey
Now I'm looking at him thinking
Maybe he's OK
I think those lines are supposed to represent the hostages being killed (bodies started merging and the ines got grey) and seeing that the killers don't really want to kill, but they are forced to by some higher government (now Im looking at him thinking maybe he's ok). |

| Maaya Sakamoto – Garden of Everything Lyrics

A great duet between Maaya S. and Steve Conte. Their voices go so well together (even though maaya is only in the background), which makes it a great love song.
I think this song is about a white guy and an asian girl who are in love, but are seperated and are far away from each other. Because they can't be together in reality, the are together in their dreams. |

This blows all other Sixpence songs out of the water.. its so beautiful, and to me, a lot deeper than their other stuff. I love the instrumental end if this song.
To respond to catherineksm, I think the second idea is the correct one, because following "this is my call" she sings "I can do nothing else" almost like the will/calling to sing the melody is so powerful she can't do anything else. |

| The Monkees – Daydream Believer Lyrics
| 19 years ago

Its extremely obvious to me that Jean is a girl. Jean is the daydream believer and the homecoming queen. I agree with eytan that this song is being sung to the girlfriend, Jean. I guess Jean is depressed because they are poor, but this song is being sung to her to cheer her up. Jean is sleepy because it's morning (as showed in the beginning) and she probably doesn't really have enough energy to get up because she is depressed about the lack of money, and the singer is saying that even though he still loves Jean and tries to make her happy, she stays sleepy and depressed in her own little world. "Oh what can it mean to a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?" |

Why has no one posted on such a great song? It's obvious to me this is a psychedelic drug-inspired song, mostly because it makes no sense... but its great just the same. Its the best Monkees song imo, even better than Daydream Believer (but that song is great too). |
