Not about suicide, not about breaking up. About being alone and sad, human emotion that we all feel from time to time. |

| The Drums – I Don't Know How To Love Lyrics
| 13 years ago

|
Definitely about a dysfunctional relationship. Obviously the one expressing this thought process is the one being hurt by his or her partner. Being the partner claims they "don't know how to love"; also when the singer claims, "I could touch your hair 3 months ago but now it makes you so upset". She's losing her interest, due to his lack of emotional stability most likely, same story, different song. But this is a good one. |

Oh there once was an island
Lost at sea
Once were two lovers
You smile under me
But we laid out in heave
The sun in our eyes
I told her I love her
That We'd Survive |

| Beck – Broken Drum Lyrics

yeah you're right Bad at Best. I read Elliott's biography and him and Beck were friends.
Beck wrote this song after Elliott's passing as a tribute to him but so did many other artists like sparta, Rilo Kiley, Third Eye Blind and Ben Folds. |

| Modest Mouse – Whenever I Breathe Out, You Breathe In (Positive/Negative) Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
|
this song to me means one thing. being lonley and not even caring. it seems like all your life you're either happy or you're not. this song is about someone who doesn't really care what happens to him and doesn't really do anything in life. they just sit there and watch the world go by. living seems like it's almost a burden "when you're living your life thats the price you pay". it seems to me that its more about being lonley and having no one to connect with; but not even caring at the same time. |

Actually, ive read that Issac was drunk and doing drugs of some sort when he wrote the lyrics to this album. We all know there is no Edgar Graham and it was just Issac making someone up, probably because he was on some type of drug(s) at the time. |

| Ugly Casanova – Smoke Like Ribbons Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
This is a song about how the singer and a girl might have driven around often in a car. "smoke was pulled like ribbons
from the windows of the car." meaning that when they smoked they could see it get pulled out from the open windows. Talking about star constellations is how they would look at the stars maybe out of the sun roof or on top of the hood of the car, who knows. "songs were pulled like ribbons from the window of the car....lost along the shoulder of the highway" this could mean when they sang in the car they had the windows down so their voices drifted to the highway. "lawty lawty loved him, stark don't give a flat fuck" this could mean many things. In my own opinion it means the girl he was with in the car loved another man but the guy driving with her didnt care because he was with her now. |

| Arcade Fire – No Cars Go Lyrics

this song is talking about a child hood the writer might of had. It is saying when he wanted to be alone he knew where he would go. Implying the lines 'We know a place where no planes go
We know a place where no ships go, (Hey!) No cars go '. This song was very well written and i give many thanks to the band. |
