| Wolf Parade – Shine a Light Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| With the ghost and "buried alive" references, I feel like he's referring to the fact that even though so many of us live lives that are totally routine, we all still have "ghosts" inside of us... We all have a soul that wants be to creative and alive and free and not spent entirely on survival, a soul that is buried alive as we ignore our true dreams and hopes. So the ghost comes out occasionally as you dream of something better or more satisfying, a ghost town that "will not just be quiet". | |
| Albert Hammond Jr. – 101 Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think it's about losing sight of what you had, or once had. Losing your way in life, forgetting the meaning of the simple things... And then both going home (highway 101), and going back to the basics (as in, college 101). |

| Silversun Pickups – Lazy Eye Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
A lazy eye means that your brain doesn't recognize/accept the visual input from one eye. In my opinion, when he says "i've been waiting for this moment all my life but it's not quite right" it means he's been seeing his relationship or situation blindly. Maybe he's been choosing to look at it through rose colored glasses, or trying to pretend that he's not in love with someone, or whatever. Then when he says "everyone's so intimately rearranged everyone can focus clearly with such shine", he finally starts to see the situation clearly and realizes how blind he's been about everything. Maybe he ends up letting go and falling in love, or on the flip side maybe he realizes the situation wasn't as perfect as he'd hoped before and finally decides to let it go. |

| I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody's Business – The Kindler Burns Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song is so beautiful. I agree with sudden dance, that it's about being true to yourself.. but it also reminds me of the predicament many young black high school guys find themselves in. They were encouraged to succeed in athletics, rather than academics. Rather than having their brains valued, their bodies are vaued instead... And so they become pushed into "hoop dreams", even if deep down they're wondering if they could be doing something different.. and then later on down the line they realize there's not that much potential in athletics as they'd hoped, and they become burnt out... | |

| The Stills – Love and Death Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I love how ironic and contradictory these guys are, they make one statement and then directly contradict it with the next line "is all we really need there's nothing that i'd need" Not in a bad way but in a sort of sarcastic and slightly uncertain way |

| Ambulance LTD – Primitive (The Way I Treat You) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I also agree that this song gets really political, particularly with this line: "you learn to walk at a comfortable slumber pursuing numbly toward sure history" I feel like it's the way people tend to ignore the seriousness of the world's current state of affairs, they "walk at a comfortable slumber" through their merry, presently unaffected lives, preferring to allow only the pleasant thoughts in |

| Ambulance LTD – Primitive (The Way I Treat You) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I love this song. Doesn't the sound of it (plus the way he snaps his fingers toward the beginning) bring the image of an exaggerated, self-important swagger to mind? Which would tie into the abusive relationship "just relax and let me take control" sort of attitude.. haha it's 5 am and i am reading into this toooooo much | |
| Ambulance LTD – Heavy Lifting Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i love how the song kind of breaks in at "soothe your bones".... and the keyboards as he says "those clouds bring heavy heavy rain and lifting is an aweful lot of pain".. gorgeous | |

| Ambulance LTD – Young Urban Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| this song sort of puts a pang in my heart. i don't know, maybe i'm getting this wrong entirely but i feel like it's about irony, about breaking barriers, about rising to be more than you or anyone else thought you could, about pushing through life with a heavy heart and an open mind... | |

"some things last forever why can't this last forever nothing lasts forever i hope this lasts forever, oh " if you switch it around a little, you get some things last forever i hope this lasts forever why can't this last forever nothing lasts forever sort of like a debate in his head.. i love it. |
