The Sleepy Jackson – You Needed More Lyrics 19 years ago
This is a song about being in love with someone who is utterly broken, and realising you can't fix them. There is a certain cruelty in basically saying: "You fucked up," and yet the desperate sadness of: "I'm still here, though," in the nature of playing the same songs and investing time in the same God.

of Montreal – Requiem for O.M.M.2 Lyrics 20 years ago
vaseline over the lenses is an "old school" technique in photography (not reserved for JUST collegiate students) to make the subjects in the frame seem fuzzy and lower contrast. it is jokingly said that this technique is used in a lot of nude photographing to make people look less fatter. i think in respect to the barnes' lyrics, the vaseline over the lenses depicts a youth in love's inability to see the picture as it really is, or how it will really turn out.

New Order – Bizarre Love Triangle Lyrics 21 years ago
i cannot stress how WRONG YOU ALL ARE. about interpretations, that is. all the lovely memories were well-shared.
this song has been one of my favourites for the length of my entire life and i have thought about it before. so here is my interpretation:

this song is about a man who is in love with a woman who perpetually cheats on him. he understands that she treats him badly and he is miserable, but he can't leave her with the bizarre and deceptive way she has captivated him. i'll do the break-by-break as well.

Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind

(Here is the obvious statement that he is miserable, and that he cannot let go of a life where lies to himself, pretending not to know of his beloved's infidelities)

But there's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
well every day my confusion grows

(the wisdom of the FOOL. he is being played by the woman he loves and his confusion lies in whether he should learn to leave her or provoke her to finally confess that she is cheating on him)

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say

(the words, of course? i'm unfaithful to you. i'm going to leave you. you make me unhappy. these are the things he so desperately wants her to say so he can finally have reasons to leave her)

I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday

(He is fine and good, though it's a charade. he wishes the relationship could be like it was in the beginning, just the two of them.)

I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be

(im ENGLISH and the person who sings this song has an ENGLISH accent - the correct lyrics go: i do admit to myself that if i HAD someone else... etc. he's saying if he gives up on her now, despite her treating him badly, he'll never know if they can pull through it.)

so, there it is folks. the bizarre love triangle. the desperate and confused lover, the infidel, and the man or woman on the side.
