Vienna Teng – Momentum Lyrics 15 years ago
I'd like to believe that this song is about two people who are on the brink of getting into a relationship, and that she's asking him to affirm everything between them and get the ball rolling. Or something less cliché.

Ani DiFranco – Untouchable Face Lyrics 15 years ago
I agree that this song is more about unrequited friend-love than an ex, though of course I understand that anyone who's ever had their heart torn apart will empathize with this song.

I think the part about how she doesn't want to see zir is SOAUTHENTIC. I mean, logically you want to see the person that you're in love with. But then it hurtst too fucking badly and you want to die.
(to someone who will never, ever see this: FUCK YOU. FUCK. YOU.)

Hearing Doris sing this live almost brought tears to my eyes. She has such a beautiful voice, and the lyrics are so beautiful.

Billy Joel – Vienna Lyrics 18 years ago
The reason I love this song so much is that there are so many different ways to interpret it, and all of them are right.

Here's one I haven't seen yet:

Unrequited love.
The narrator is more mature, in love with this frantic young person who's rushing everywhere, stressing eirself out and it hurts the narrator because ey loves em. The narrator's expressed eir feelings but the young person is freaking out because ey is afraid--of commitment, of taking the time to enjoy eir life.

"Vienna" represents everything that a relationship with a stable person could offer someone.

But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you an just get old

This is saying that, when you have the option of happiness in front of you, you can either embrace it or get old before your time.

The "borderline" is the line between friendship and romance.

You got your passion you got your pride
But don't you know only fools are satisfied?

If you just accept whatever you can get that's simple, without aspiring to anything greater, you're a fool.

Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true

My favorite line in this song. You can imagine all the ideal futures you want, but you're being an idiot if you pass by something beautiful and REAL in pursuit of something that may never happen.

Madonna – Waltz For Eva And Che Lyrics 18 years ago
Oh man.

This song is beautiful. Eva defending herself to Che, it pretty much explains the whole show. Much love.

Rufus Wainwright – Old Whore's Diet Lyrics 18 years ago
I always thought an old whore's diet was sex. :o

I mean. He also says "to say I love you / gets me going where I want to", and that kind of goes along with sex in the morning.

I dunno.

Ben Folds Five – Best Imitation of Myself Lyrics 18 years ago
Oh, man. I love this song. I always thought it was about someone hiding from someone they were in love with. Especially this line:

"Don't want you hanging out with
No one but me"

It's sort of ambiguous; literally the narrarator doesn't want to "hang out with no one but [him]" because he's afraid the other will see through him. But in the colloquial way, it means that he wants the other all to himself. Oi.

The Beatles – I'll Cry Instead Lyrics 19 years ago
I LOVE this song. It's so underappreciated.

It's about the anger someone feels after a breakup.

Elton John – Your Song Lyrics 19 years ago
I'm not a die-hard Elton John fan, but this song just stands out from the rest. Most people give a negative connotation to "simple" music, but Your Song is simple and elegant and makes you go "awww" every time you hear it.

Obviously contrary to popular opinion, I love this song.

It's such chaotic nonsense. It gives me the chills every time I hear it. <3
