| Judging from the line repeated at the end of the song, I think they are talking about moving in together, not getting married. | |
| Radiohead – Knives Out Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think deeply analyzing Radiohead lyrics is somewhat a waste of time. Thom Yorke has openly stated in the past that he uses words for the way they sound, not for their meaning. | |
| Nada Surf – Inside Of Love Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"Must be a different view To be a me with a you" This reminds me a lot of Martin Buber's conception of the "I-You" relationship -- the purest, most authentic form of mutually vulnerable human communication. Great song. |

| Wolf Parade – Shine a Light Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I kind of like this album, which is surprising considering there's no originality in the music. Do these guys sound exactly like a combination of The Arcade Fire and Modest Mouse, or what? This song especially is a blatant rip-off of The Arcade Fire's Rebellion (Lies). | |

pretty obvious meaning here "I am in love with what I've lost. I do not want what I have got." those two lines pretty much sum it all up |

"how could a God of love, bring so much condemnation?" It's obviously about Catholics being the group of hateful, judgemental fucks that they are. |

| mewithoutYou – Tie Me Up! Untie Me! Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
"You, my hidden pearl of pure and perfect love and I'm living example of 100% the opposite of this. " I forgot this lyric last time, but this really does summarize the whole song into just one line. God = the pearl. He has spent a long time searching and has now found it. How symbolic is it that Aaron decides on a pearl for this lyric? Since we all know that pearls are some of the rarest, and purest things on this earth. Then he talks about being "100% the opposite." Clearly this was before he found God and was still in a life of temptation. |

It's called a metaphor, lyricists use them from time to time. "She's like a hot cloth on my fevered head and like a needle she leads me away from everything good" She = the devil = temptation |

I don't think the song has anything to do with a girl. Similar to who Geoff from Thursday is notorious for writing about love while using political metaphors, Aaron is notorious for writing what often appears to be pertaining to a girl as a metaphor for God. To me, this song is all about overcoming adversity, and finding that one "guiding light" to believe in, in Aaron's case that would be God. 'I was looking at the leaves climbing to the tops of the trees but you were nowhere to be found. Just beneath all the green you were buried like a little seed among the roots and underground." Aaron is talking about how, through his life he has spent numerous hours searching for something to believe in, and after looking long and hard enough he has finally found his faith. I look at this as somewhat of a follow-up of sorts to "Nice and Blue" off of A-->B Life, which contains the lyric "God became the glass and all things left were emptiness." Once you find what it is in life that you were looking for, everything else seems somewhat meaningless. It is also possible to see the evolution and growth of Aaron as a person throughout this song. "Tie me up! Untie me! All this wishing I was dead is getting old... it goes on but it's old." Is just once again reaffirming the fact that he was once without anything to truely believe in until he found God. The song concludes by saying "But you untie me - didn't you untie me, lord? And now I haven't even thought about killing myself in almost five months" which really just shows how full circle he has come. This really isn't an amazingly deep lyric, since if you take my perspective on the meaning of the song, he is obviously talking about being saved by God. This was the part that definitely convinced me that the song is in no way a song about a girl/person or a relationship of any kind, since it so clearly pertains to the Lord. I could pick more parts of the song to disect and ramble on and on for much longer, but I think those are the real main points. |

how about we stop arguing about trivial specifics and realize that all mewithoutYou songs contain lots of amiguity interpret the song in whichever way you want, whether that be involving god or a relationship, all mewithoutYou songs contain elements of both |

why do they need three guitarists when they could suck just as badly with only two? and being compared to senses fail is definitely not a good thing these guys blow |

| Cursive – Driftwood: A Fairy Tale Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
This song isn't even about a girl, the so-called "girl" whom is mentioned is nothing more than a metaphor. Tim is talking about the people who spend their whole lives searching for that certain something that will complete them. He is, in fact, mocking them, and feeling sorry that they are not "complete" and are missing that finishing piece. Then at the end of the song when he says "and now i wonder how i was made my arms my legs my heart my face my name is driftwood" it is nothing more than Tim realizing that he is the person that he mocks. He really is no better than anyone else, and contrary to what he at first believed, he is not a complete person. |

| Senses Fail – Free Fall Without A Parachute Lyrics | 21 years ago |

I had a dream last night and in my dream I robbed a country club. A 5 year old tried to stop me, but I shot him through the head, and now he's dead. This is without a doubt one of the worst verses ever written. Overall the whole song is aweful, but this verse really stands out. |
