Fiona Apple – Not About Love Lyrics 20 years ago
I don't understand where people are getting "ache" and "ape" from.. I hear an incredibly distinct "h" and a pretty clear "d" at the end of what I believe to be is "head" x_X

Counting Crows – Angels of the Silences Lyrics 21 years ago
I agree with everyone else on here. Also, I think that the line "All my sins I said that I would pay for them if I could come back to you..." To me that's like, he'd give up faith in God and pay for his own sins (like how Jesus died for our sins), if he could just be with that girl.

Counting Crows – Accidentally In Love Lyrics 21 years ago
ok, this song is obviously about drugs.

..kidding, kidding ;)

Adam is a genius. It's a great song. Yeah, the song may seem a little corny, but love can be corny. It's a happy song. Sometimes everyone needs a happy song. I wasn't aware of this song until the day I saw Shrek 2, and I almost had a heart attack when I realized it was Counting Crows playing the opening song, I sat there in awe, and I loved it, it's so upbeat and catchy and happy. And like ckad79 said, if you're an Adam fan, you can still appreciate at least parts of the song.

And hey, they can't help that it blew up. When a song is in a movie as big as a sequel to Shrek, the songs are going to get big. Remember the Smash Mouth cover of I'm A Believer for the first Shrek? I still hear that on the radio all of the time. I think AIL will be around for awhile, too. And remember-Counting Crows are the ones letting us all bootleg and tape their shows and then distribute them all over the internet. How mainstream or non-mainstream their songs get doesn't even matter. They'll always be the greatest in my heart.

Relient K – Gibberish Lyrics 21 years ago
I love RK but I just can't listen to this song.. I flinch when I hear the verses where he's singing in gibberish. I flinch just at the thought of those verses. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but it does.

Fiona Apple – Paper Bag Lyrics 21 years ago
i finally got it!

she says that "the dove of hope" "began its downward slope"

"i thought it was a bird but it was just a paper bag"

the bird is the aforementioned "dove of hope", but it wasnt hope that she thought was falling from the sky, it was just a paper bag..something other than what she was expecting..something she doesnt really need or want i guess?

Brand New – Play Crack the Sky Lyrics 21 years ago
Okay..someone needs to take an anatomy class...because our lungs are filled with air, not water. Not 90% water. No, really now, they're filled with air. Otherwise you'd die. Because you wouldn't be able to breathe.

I really hate it when people say "need you like water in my lungs" is something good or nice to have? Er.. you'd suffocate...drown..and ultimately, die. And last thing I checked, suffocating, drowning and dying weren't good things. A six year old could tell you that.

I'm with bobjank on the "i need this like a hole in my head" comment.

It's a good song, Brand New is excellent.

Fiona Apple – I Know Lyrics 21 years ago
Wow.. I sort of skipped over this song somehow while listening to When the Pawn.. It's a great song.

I think it's sort of sad because she's being so patient for this guy, "amidst the bitterness".. you can only hold on to someone like that in that situation for so long.

O-Town – Liquid Dreams Lyrics 21 years ago
I LOVE these faggots!!! This song is awesome!

The title, Liquid Dreams, is a better term for wet dreams, and they made it all sort of classy, if that was even thought to be possible. People have criticized them for calling it Liquid instead of Wet, but whoever would put out a song called 'Wet Dreams' must be straight-up skanky and they're not going to sell many records. Unless they're some comedian, even then I have my doubts..but anyway.

wet dream: (Noun) An erotic dream accompanied by ejaculation of semen.

Seeeeee?

O-TOWN 4-EVER

Relient K – I So Hate Consequences Lyrics 21 years ago
Relient K is such a great band with awesome messages and lyrics that we can relate to.

"and I spent all last night/tearing down/every stoplight/and stop sign in this town/now I think there might/be no way to stop me now/i'll get away despite/the fact I’m so weighed down"

and

"when I got tired of running from you/I stopped right there to catch my breath/there your words they caught my ears/you said, “I miss you son. Come home”/and my sins, they watched me leave/and in my heart I so believed/the love you felt for me was mine/the love I’d wished for all this time/and when the doors were closed/I heard no I told so’s/I said the words I knew you knew/Oh God, Oh God I needed you/God all this time I needed you/I needed you"

I just love this song to pieces.

Counting Crows – Up All Night (Frankie Miller Goes to Hollywood) Lyrics 21 years ago
o0MyCatharsis0o, it's not a song about drugs though, he's just saying that it's too late to get high.

The greatest line in the world:

"Get your dreams just right and let them slip away.."

Adam Duritz is a lyrical genius.

Here's where Adam discusses the meaning from their website:

"This guy doesn't have connections to other people. He's imagining a place where there was this camaraderie, where everything was cool and obvious. But he can't get there. The last verse says, 'If you don't come through, I wouldn't wait for you. I understand that everyone goes disappearing into that greater gray.' He's talking about a specific person, but also about everybody. You can't depend on other people. He dreams about it, he wants to do it, but he keeps letting them go. He doesn't grab onto anything; it's partly his own fault." The chorus seems almost to celebrate that "it's too late to get high." "I'm past the point in my life where I'm going to be able to solve my problems by getting high. There's a point where it's fun, then there's a point where it ain't gonna do you any good anymore. It's too late for that to be any kind of an answer. It's too late for all of those things that are going to make you feel good for a moment, whether it's getting high or stepping off the end of the world or calling a girl in the middle of the night or staring at photographs. It does mean you don't wish it would work."

Counting Crows – Diamonds, Babies and Cars Lyrics 21 years ago
Oh wow, these lyrics aren't quite right; it's "Don't add up to anything", not "Don't know how to do anything".. that mistake kind of distracts from the meaning.

it sounds a lot like my parents. at that point in the marriage it definitely shows how diamonds and babies and cars really don't add up to anything. even a diamond ring is just a symbol. to value a car is kind of just materialistic. and the parents are too busy fighting to really value the children. it leaves you wondering what is left.

my favorite line;
"my turn this time they cried/and everyone walks in a line/around and around in a circle until they die/my turn this time they screamed/and diamonds and babies and cars/don't add up to anything.."

anyway, colormegray was right, it's by The Himalaymans, not CC, i was wondering why there isn't a Himalayans page on here.. but their website is http://thehimalayans.com . that band was pretty awesome.

Rufio – Just A Memory Lyrics 21 years ago
this song is incredibly down-to-earth. you just..take the words for what they are.

"the sadness comes when it's least expected/it's shot out of the dark and slammed in our face/the hurt it brings can't be stopped/the hurt it brings can't be cured"

it's like..when you least expect it, you realize it's over and that you've lost them...and it hurts so much that the feeling doesn't just go away..and the other person probably doesn't understand how you feel.

"just when I thought things were alright/you came and ripped out my heart/my stomach's full of butterflies/the thought of you gone/it tears me apart"

just when you think things are alright, you realize that youre kind of just...not alright. it makes you physically sick. and the thought of that person gone literally tears you apart. and it hurts an awful lot, trust me.

"i remember you and me when we used to/laugh all night until we fell asleep/and i know we're through/but i've still got thoughts of you left inside my head"

he remembers how together they were and the good times, and he acknowledges understanding that its over, but also that he cant shake the thoughts of her..

and just one more verse to comment on;

"so stop me now/stop my thoughts cause you're killin me/but you don't know/even though we've grown apart/i'll still be there for you/cause I don't wanna be just a memory to you.."

he needs help to stop from thinking about it so much because it's really killing him. and even though they can't be together in love..he wants her around because he needs her. sadly, all that he wants in this is impossible to get. at least thats what i've found.
