| Foals – Spanish Sahara Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
cleo wins for most anal correction ever. especially for one that's wrong. when you're using pronouns like it or that the possesive never uses an apostrophe. apostrophes are used with pronouns in regards to contractions alone. ironically, you used the proper version of "it's" in explaining it incorrectly :P |

| Brandi Carlile – That Year Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| are these lyrics from a live version pre-album? they're definitely not accurate (it's tit for tat i know, but definitely not accurate). | |
| Stardust – Music Sounds Better With You Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| i doubt the song is about E. it was actually concepted during a live performance the group was doing in paris. thomas and the other guy brought the bassline in and the singer just improvised it. next day they added the sample and did the track. | |
| Jeremy Messersmith – A Girl, A Boy, and a Graveyard Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| quite frankly, his best song yet, and this is saying a lot. | |
| Wolf Parade – Kissing The Beehive Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| who gives a fuck what this song is about, quit trying to decode and just embrace the primitive. the last 2 minutes of this is pure mayhem, absolutely amazing. | |
| The Acorn – Maplebees Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| you should hear it on their "live" album. | |
| A Guy Called Gerald – Humanity Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| i think the lyric near the end is "and clarity where once there was cloud" | |
| Wolf Parade – Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
i still think the "holes" referrals come back to things being constantly empty, not towards death. wolf parade doesn't seem to focus on death that often. as for "digger of holes in a land of holes" that can be taken multiple ways... 1. he's the digger of the holes, he's a special person, because in a land of holes you'd think holes are needed, why else would they be there. 2. he's the digger of holes, and he's an evil person 3. he's a digger of holes in a land of holes...meaning...he's just like everyone else, his existence is fairly pointless. i kind of like this one the best as for me, a lot of wolf parade songs end up with this sort of sentiment. anonymity in large places, anger towards cities, modern social structure, etc etc. |

| Thao Nguyen – We Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| most definitely a "run off and see the world" type song. i love the inner child in thao's voice :) | |
| Wolf Parade – Kissing The Beehive Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| who cares what it's about on this one :). spencer/dan duet. fucking wolf parade. they could be moaning guttural grunts the entire time and it'd still be great | |
| Wolf Parade – Fine Young Cannibals Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
yeah no idea what that bit about the sea is... but i think the line further up is "there's some room to breathe but i don't think twice" |
|
| Wolf Parade – Fine Young Cannibals Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
this song is absolutely amazing. i've just heard it for the first time and can't really digest it (currently digesting pizza and beer), but dan definitely wins on this album in terms of best songs (compared to spencer). wow. that bit about the smoldering sun... |

| Stars – The Comeback Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
fairly sure he's saying "Angel dust and a pint of wine"...odd. i know. |
|
| Bloc Party – Flux Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| fairly sure curzon club is a double reference to the gay club/his days working at curzon cinema (a friend was an usher w/ him ha ha) | |
| Atmosphere – Don't Ever Fucking Question That Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| to "sick of smiling" and "armada", yes, Lucy is a real person/woman. possibly anyone that knows atmosphere in the TC knows this :). the song "body pillow" is all about her. even mentions her "There was a girl - emphasis on the "L" ". anyways, to jagus, what would you rather have slug rap about? he's no good at flowing, can't battle for shit, and really only gets his point across when he's really digging at the root of his feelings. | |
| Everything But the Girl – Good Cop, Bad Cop Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
whoever posted these lyrics butchered them. here are the correct ones: I don't wanna feel this way... I don't wanna feel this way... I don't wanna feel this way, Won't somebody take away this feeling. I'm looking at an open sky, It's like my roof has got no ceiling. It's wrong to feel this way, I know it's wrong, I know it's bad To only see what isn't there, To want and want and never have. But you know there's more to me now, don't you? You'll always cover for me, won't you? Won't you? And this used to look half-full, Now some days it looks half-empty. And some days it feels like nothing, It always used to feel like plenty. It's wrong to feel this way, I know it's wrong, I know it's bad To only see what isn't there, To want and want and never have. But you know there's more to me now, don't you? You'll always cover for me, won't you? Won't you? I don't wanna feel this way Won't somebody take away this feeling. You play good cop, I play bad cop, Still my roof has got no ceiling. Still my roof has got no ceiling. I don't wanna feel this way... I don't wanna feel this way... I don't wanna feel this way... I don't wanna feel this way... |

| Acid House Kings – This heart is a stone Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| it doesn't contradict itself. it's pretty much saying "this person is no good for you" trouble is bad, monday mornings usually suck (hence friday being a much more fun place to be). | |
| The American Analog Set – Come Home Baby Julie, Come Home Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| such an amazing build to the end. | |
| The American Analog Set – It's All About Us Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| beautiful beautiful song. sometimes i wish andrew kenny's songs were more outwardly emotional, but then i realize they're all probably amazingly personal. | |
| Iron & Wine – Sixteen, Maybe Less Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| honestly this is probably the best written Iron and Wine song, for me at least. The themes of Time, Memory, Longing, etc etc, all blended together sooo well. It's haunting. He made a choice and it meant he couldn't be with this girl. Then life happened and pulled him even further and further, but he always goes back to those moments. | |
| Stars – Your Ex-Lover Is Dead Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
not sure if anyone has touched on this (can't read all 4 pages!) but i really think this song is about two people that AREN'T over each other, at all, but spend the length of the song convincing themselves that they are, because a relationship is doomed. he may make an advance to see if it's possible, but she turns him down. then if they can just survive the cab ride home, they'll be ok. they meet at a party, they realize they hadn't seen each other in forever, and there probably wasn't closure. i mean, if they didn't care about each other at all still, why did the share a cab? she thinks he is sad, but he replies "i was just trying to remember your name" to me, this seems like more a defensive response than anything else "oh, no i wasn't hurt, i was just trying to remember who you were." then in the end she keeps repeating "live through this and you won't go back", like "my god i want to say yes, but i can't, it won't work, it won't work." it's not that they don't want each other, just that they've been there and it can't happen again. The line that REALLY solidifies this idea of convincing themselves is when she says "It's nothing but time and a face that you lose." as if you can throw both away on a whim. These are possibly THE TWO most important things people have...and she's telling herself that it's ok to lose both. Time? You don't get time back. You lose it, it's gone forever, you only have a certain amount, and NO ONE knows how much that is, could be 10 minutes or 50years...the idea that she's willing to toss that away just shows how hard she's trying. And I'd be mortified if i memories of a loved one. Try remembering fond memories of an ex lover? it starts out easy, then slowly it takes longer and longer to recall the exact details of it all, and really it's a heartbreaking thing, to think that you've spent so much time with someone to only have time wipe your memory away...that's why we have photos and letters and home video, to keep faces and memories fresh. ok, ending my book. |

| Bloc Party – Atonement Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| hrmm i think he's usuing the general definition of the word. reconciliation, reparations, etc etc. I think it's about some sort of apology. He fucked up, now he's making it better (his atonement). | |
| Bloc Party – Waiting for the 7:18 Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| edit: this album IS sick :) got an advance a little while ago. | |
| Atmosphere – Modern Man's Hustle Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| the lyric is "it hurts to watch lucy LUCID dream" | |
| The Submarines – Vote Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| i'm rather sure the "two for tuesday" line is "on super tuesday" (as the song is entitled vote and generally that tuesday is when the vote happens) -- but the song is gorgeous either way :) | |
| The Spinto Band – Oh Mandy Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| ahh i love this song, i always got the impression it was about Mandy Moore as well -- granted i think it's because of the ENTOURAGE episode of the same name. But alas, none of my net research points towards that :( | |
| Bloc Party – The Answer Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| not sure if this is about Bush. It's a rather old song, well prior to the conflict in Iraq I believe. It is after the World Trade attack, but...while Bush was just an idiot then, he's a threat now. | |
| Bloc Party – This Modern Love Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Perfect song. Obviously about an inability to get past that CERTAIN stage where no one knows what is what. Same with my life right now. We're perfect, but she just can't get over her past. "What are you holding out for?" It's like he's saying "JUST FUCKING LIVE!" | |
| Dntel – (This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan Lyrics | 18 years ago |

EVERYONE should check out the: Superpitcher and Barbara Morgenstern remixes...lovely. There's a Saftey Scissors mix as well, with Erlend Oye doing the vocals, but it's not as nice. |

| Bloc Party – So Here We Are Lyrics | 18 years ago |
