Patrick Wolf – Damaris Lyrics 16 years ago
WOW, this is awesome.

and thanks for that little explanation.
I'd been wondering about the significance of MY god dammned Damaris
because it's both My God, he damned Damaris
and my damaris, damned by god...

Florence + the Machine – Howl Lyrics 16 years ago
i wouldn't necessarily agree that's it's about bringing out your worst side... although some may it see it like

it's very passionate and desperate for this man

Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart

My fingers claw your skin, try to tempt my way in
You are the moon that makes the night for which I have to howl


not being able to bear being part
physical needs
trying to get in closer closer
the moon is generally a large feminine symbol, with menstrual cycles and alsorts including the worship of...
to worship this man as a moon, to howl for him at night

Ben Folds – Jesusland Lyrics 19 years ago
i think this song is so amazing and beautiful, the verse:
Miles and miles,
and the sun goin' down,
Pulses glow
from their homes,
You're not alone.
Lights come on
as you lay your weary head on their lawn.

is so powerful and says so much
not only as said earlier"he is left out on the lawn"..he doesn't ask to go in...just lays his head wherever but the lights come on...the lights that tell the people that someone's hanging about outside..these people even have defences and security against him

The Dresden Dolls – Coin-Operated Boy Lyrics 19 years ago
i played this to a friend and they were like yeah i've heard this..it's dirty!

only after that did i even get the sense of it being about a dildo...i still find this ludicrus by the way gah! there are so many reasons it's not!!
here's how i saw it from the very start

coin operated boy
sitting on the shelf ....her little puppet perfect man, who she can take down and play with whenever she wants/needs to...(many girls would agree they have one of these guys who IS just a friend,and they know all the right things to say, and sometimes you can even get to thinking...are they boyfriend materail?)

made of plastic and elastic
he is rugged and long-lasting
who could ever ever ask for more
love without complications galore
many shapes and weights to choose from
----she can design and make him exactly what she wants...later in the video you see her drawing out plans

i will never cry at night again
wrap my arms around him and pretend....he will always be there but she has to pretend that all is well and that she loves this..machine

BRIDGE MAJOR PART OF SONG..she even says why it is written....
this bridge was written to make you feel smittener
with my sad picture of girl getting bitterer
can you extract me from my plastic fantasy...she's challenging this boy who she obviously loves to show himself to be better than her design(which is possible as 1)she loves him 2)he's capable of real emotion-oh and c'mon be realistic who has a fantasy dream world about a perfect vibrator! to hold in your arms...the only fantasies etc generally involve another person...
i didnt think so but im still convinceable
will you persist even after i bet you
a billion dollars that i'll never love you
will you persist even after i kiss you
goodbye for the last time
will you keep on trying to prove it?(she kinda also knows she's asking a huge amount that the guy even if he tries may feels it's futile
i'm dying to lose it...(this coin-op boy is slowly killing her inside...she needs this real love)
i want it (the desperation shows she's torn about revealing these raw emptions...she wants the dream...but that's her safety)
i want you(she admits she wants the real boy!!but quickly changes it back to this coin-op boy)
i want a coin operated boy.

coin operated boy
he may not be real experienced with girls
but i know he feels like a boy should feel
isnt that the point that is why i want a
coin operated boy
with his pretty coin operated voice(vibrators don't speak people)
saying that he loves me that hes thinking of me
straight and to the point(she is so obviously pissed off here..that people aren't straight to the point..but when it's what she gets from her coin-op she hates it, it's not natural....and if you've gone from a relationship where there's love but it's messed up and this guy comes along being all perfect and smarmy saying all the right things IT DOES PISS YOU OFF)
that is why i want
a coin operated boy.(resigned to the dream)
