Trespassers William – Anchor Lyrics 16 years ago
it's "quiet mind," not tired mind in line 4.

I see this song as explaining how sometimes you have to step back from things to see what you really want to do. You can't always be pushing forward with something if you're troubled, you need to take time alone to heal and rebuild before you can make progress.

Rainer Maria – Terrified Lyrics 18 years ago
this song is really open ended but i hear a woman singing about a guy who she loves but doesn't trust. So she thinks their relationship might hurt them both more than it's worth. But, she still loves him anyway cause she doesn't know how to change.

Cartel – Honestly Lyrics 18 years ago
i agree that this song is about wanting to be with someone you can't because they're already in another relationship, so you try what you can even if you know you will still fail because you can't live without letting them know how you feel. every lyric fits perfectly.

Placebo – You Don't Care About Us Lyrics 18 years ago
this song reminds me of a guy i know; "try to suffocate"- when i'm mad i tend to smoke cigarettes because he hates that ; "getaway car"- how you can push the other person away when you're mad at them. hes like 4 years younger than me, and in general i feel really frustrated with him like he doesnt always care about me, because hes still hung up over his ex-gf, so its "too complicated" and all the lyrics seem to apply

Black Tie Dynasty – Tender Lyrics 18 years ago
these are the lyrics i hear:
there is a light switch
in the dark
where a conscience
can* be won
and you know
that the simplest things
are so perfectly placed

and i can tell you now
that i can reach you every night
because i got a tender thing
in my mind
oh i ve got a tender thing
in my mind

and the sensations i have
never age
and i have faith that this
will never change
cause i know
that when i touch you i feel
something pushing my blood
deeper into my heart

and i can tell you now
that you never will be alone
you know i've got a tender thing in my mind
oh ive got a tender thing
in my mind
oh ive got a tender thing
in my mind

*i'm not sure if this is can or can't.

Dashboard Confessional – The Secret's In The Telling Lyrics 18 years ago
i think this song is clearly about having an affair with someone. "Our act of defiance, we keep this secret in our blood
No paper, Or Letters" They're making sure to keep it completely secret and not tell anyone. "compelled to do what we have been forbidden." And at the end, "Cause you will be somebody's girl
You will keep each other warm
But Tonite, I am here in the cold" He's sad and jealous when he realizes she'll go back to her other lover and leave him lonely. I think its about an affair where he wishes it were actually a relationship, but he knows it has no hope of ever being that way. That makes it bittersweet and overall its a really painful and beautiful song.

Fire When Ready – A Funeral With Wedding Vows Lyrics 19 years ago
I get the feeling it's about a girl who died that the singer used to love...He'll appeal Hell to get her back, and if not then he'll die and be with her after death...the wedding with bodies in the sand. At any rate its very emotional with some anger and regret.

Kill Hannah – Statues Without Eyes Lyrics 19 years ago
I fel like this song is about two really good friends, and one is in love with the other. But they don't want to say anything because they are afraid of losing the friendship. that's why they need to look away, and they are "Statues without eyes" because they're trying not to look at the other. "It all aligns" and "I have you where I want you" could mean that they feel so close to the one friend, when they're together everything seems perfect. But then "they are statues without eyes" again because they don't want anything to change. Similarly this is why they are "frozen in time," and "barely audible." Just one take on the song. It could probably have other meanings if you look enough. I just get a bittersweet feeling from it, maybe because that's what I'm feeling at the moment.

Sunny Day Real Estate – Red Elephant Lyrics 19 years ago
correction: I believe it's "the why you restarts" in the chorus and not "the way you restarts."
Anyway: this song never made sense to me until recently. I get the feeling it could be about finding your current love is not real anymore, and you're drawn away by someone else.
"stay around running out" is confusion of not wanting to leave the current relationship. "you climbed the wreck..." is about guilt over falling out of love. If you feel mean because you stopped loving someone else who still loves you, you might say you have a "cold diamond heart." Yet even though its cruel, its "still beating" because you are still able to love a new person, and "no one knows the reason why." I see the middle of the song as working out this confusion, until the singer finally gives up and says "the years of worry aren't my century." They're just giving into the feeling, and they're not going to worry about why or the past person that they hurt. And the title, I like to think of it as a reference to the elephant in the room, the thing that everyone ignores but is really obvious; that could be about how the whole situatio n starts: a new person who realizes you are drawn to them and they are drawn to you but you won't do anything about it because you're still in a seperate relationship at the time. So you ignore it like an elephant in the room.

Aqua – Turn Back Time Lyrics 20 years ago
I always thought this song was pretty, but it has a sinister feel in the middle, where the singer gasps and the words stop for a short time. I think it was about how one night she left her lover's place late at night, and then she got raped on the way home. And she never told him, she just broke up with him after that, maybe she got pregnant from the rape. And the baby was her "cross to wear".

Snow Patrol – Somewhere a Clock Is Ticking Lyrics 20 years ago
It's about someone in a doomed relationship. They don't know when it went bad "there's something that I missed." Why does the other person fight with them? The singer could easily get their revenge "I could do most anything to you." But instead they want to try to work things out, telling the other "You can't leave," please let's stay and talk this out. But it doesn't work. When the couple has a fight "in slow motion, the blast is beautiful," kind of like he's mesmermized by the fight and he can't believe it's happening. "Doors slam shut:" this happens in a fight. As for the clock ticking, he knows the relationship can't last forever when they fight so horribly, and he can feel their time together running out.

The Flaming Lips – Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1 Lyrics 20 years ago
the flaming lips website has notes about all their songs! they say Yoshimi is a fictional character who has adventures throughout songs 2, 3, and 4 on the album. And like Otomodachi said, 3021 is one of the robots supposed to kill Yoshimi but he can't because he falls in love with her.

The Flaming Lips – One More Robot/Sympathy 3000-21 Lyrics 20 years ago
I don't think the robot was made to feel emotion, but somehow it's beginning to anyway. It's trying to feel love, and it seems that way, but its hard to say what's real.

Jimmy Eat World – Night Drive Lyrics 21 years ago
I think this song is about having sex with a girl who's not quite into it. Maybe's she's drunk, maybe she's just not completly willing. After the first time I heard this song, I couldn't help being creeped out by lyrics like "hit me, I can take your cheap shots," and "if you get mad, three fingers point back to you." I also think that "Give me everything you got now, I don't feel a single thing" sounds like the guy doesn't really love the girl, and maybe he's not feeling guilty, or he's just numb because he can't believe he forced a girl to have sex with him.
