| Fiona Apple – Paper Bag Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
"Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love" This is one of my favorite lines from Fiona. I dont think this has anything to do with an eating disorder. I think its a briliant metaphor. When I hear this think along the lines of its better to be single and lonley ( hurger hurts) and to feel the pain of being alone rather than pursue a relationship that you just dont have enough time/energy/emotion etc. to put into or its too risky to put yourself out there (costs too much). So its better to starve yourself and save yourself the emotional cost even though it hurts in the meantime. |

| Nelly Furtado – Turn Off The Light Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
This song really speaks to me in the position I find myself in lately. Just broke up with a long-term BF and kinda interested in someone else. I feel like I am caught between wanting to be by myself and be independent and single for a while. I think Nelly really hits on what its like to be feminist and independent female. You try so hard to project that superwoman image, like you dont need a man to complete you or make you happy. But when your all alone, with no one to "act" for, everyone gets lonely and the insecurities that you pretend arent there surface. "Where is your logic?" is her trying to tell herself not to be so insecure and give into her feelings. Think with your head, not your heart. But she cant help it at nite... The part about "i live my life by the moon" reminds me of how i check my horoscope to give me a little guideance as to what to do with my life... |

| Sarah McLachlan – Building A Mystery Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Everytime I hear this song I think about falling for someone who is mentally ill. Or having someone you love develop a mental illness. All the weirdness that she talks about, its no nonsensical, it seems like its from a text book on schizoprenia.... Just my 2 cents... | |
