The Strokes – Electricityscape Lyrics 20 years ago
not to say u guys are wrong cause a song can mean watever u want it to but i read this as an apology to friends that he left behind wen he entered the music scene.
it starts out:
"Oh with strangers to impress so near
Old friends don't realize I'm here"

while he's tryin to impress 'strangers' eg. record label execs. or watever he ignores his 'old friends'

then:
Change your mind tonight
You belong to the city now
And you're closer now
I know
"You belong on the radio..."

mite be him expressing that he doesnt hav control over wat he does because of his obligations to music.

then:
I swear I'll give it back tomorrow
But for now I think that I'll just borrow
All the words from that song
And all the chords from that other song
I heard yesterday

music means less to him than it used when he still had friends so he 'borrows' from songs dues to lack of originality

finally:
I will not disturb you
I was just returning you
A compliment

julian doesnt wanna interfere with them cause he knows his friends are gone so he return the 'compliment' of friendship with this song

wat ya think?

The Whitlams – Buy Now Pay Later (Charlie No. 2) Lyrics 20 years ago
totally agree with the drug theme. "buy now pay later" could mean that charlie gets takes the drugs now but will suffer the consequences further down the track. just not sure about "theres a girl gone crazy bout u and im not far behind."

Keane – She Has No Time Lyrics 21 years ago
shadowsoal is pretty spot on i think. especially about the part where its written to someone not by someone. i think the situation could be as follows : the person that wrote the song is possibly in love with the girl but he is singing to her boyfriend saying how lucky he is "And she can hardly breathe without you " but how stupid he is being "Or lie to yourself
And see it all dissolve around you"
wat ya think?

Jason Mraz – After an Afternoon Lyrics 21 years ago
"i bare my windowed seld untamed and untrained"
this is jason revealing his true self to the woman he is singing to, the side of him he usually hides.

"Bold waves tumble to the season of my heart
Where you have offended my faith and my trust "
describing the heaviness it put on his heart when
she betrayed him.
the rest of the song describes why he still has feelings for her even sfter she hurt him. he knows shes not right for him but he doesnt care and they get back together. watya recon?
