Jake Holmes – Dazed and Confused Lyrics 12 years ago
I'm dazed and confused, is it stay is it go?
am I being choosed? well I'd just like to know
give me a clue as to where I am at
feel like a mouse and you act like a cat

I'm dazed and confused, hanging on by a thread
I'm being abused, I'd be better off dead
I can't stand this teasing, I'm starting to crack
you're out to get me, you're on the right track

yeah, I'm dazed and confused and it's all upside down
am I being choosed? do you want me around?
secrets are fun to a certain degree
but this one's no fun 'cause the secret's on me

Human Radio – Harsh Light of Reality Lyrics 12 years ago
in the harsh light of reality
we wear our shades or we close our eyes
trip over our morality
pick up ourselves with our little white lies
indulge in our brutalities
though it's ourselves we come to despise
in the hard light of reality
but i can see how we can be so fantasy dependent
we don't sleep so easily
if we can't dream of innocence

we wish for immortality
while making sure that it'll never happen
count up all the fatalities
and judge their values by the flags they're flapping
our fake spirituality
is pretty shabby in its silver wrapping
in the harsh light of reality
but i can see how we can be so fantasy dependent
we don't sleep so easily
if we can't dream of innocence

in the harsh light of reality
our progress often seems like mere destruction
so much for rationality
as long as we are keeping up production
we fail to grasp the actualities
our problems really are our own construction
in the harsh light of reality
but i can see how we can be so fantasy dependent
we don't sleep so easily
if we can't dream of innocence

Human Radio – Another Planet Lyrics 12 years ago
Technology is worth the prices that we pay
and we might lose a species or two along the way
if we can't eat em ride em pet em
use em or hunt them down for sport
there ain't no cause to keep them
there's an awful lot of wood
out there that no one ever sees
yeah we can save the forest
but do we need so many trees
coz we can cut em haul em sell em
n make some greenbacks
while the environmentalists are sleeping
and when it's all gone, gone
when it's all gone, gone
when it's all gone, gone
don't worry we can find another planet
and when it's all gone, gone
when it's all gone, gone
when it's all gone, gone
don't worry we can find another planet

strong industry keeps the economy running well
and naturally there are certain waste products expelled
if we can't bury it fry it hide it
deny it or shoot it into space
we could always dump it in the ocean
and when it's all gone, gone
when it's all gone, gone
when it's all gone, gone
don't worry we can find another planet
and when it's all gone, gone
when it's all gone, gone

don't worry we can find another planet
when it's all gone

it's a damn good thing our rockets
can make it to the moon
coz the way this worm is turning
we're gonna need those suckers soon
but first we need bombers warheads
missiles subs and satellites
i think we just ran out of money
and when it's all gone, gone
and when it's all gone, gone
and when it's all gone, gone
don't worry we can find another planet
and when it's all gone, gone
and when it's all gone, gone

don't worry we can find another planet
and when it's all gone, gone

Human Radio – My First Million Lyrics 12 years ago
When I make my first million
think I'll buy myself some happiness
if there's a sale on satisfaction
I might just have to stock up
maybe I'll buy myself some muscles
an a California lifestyle
an irresponsible Ferrari
an ex-cheerleader to knock up
n if there is some left over
I might buy a leather jacket
and a brand new Harley-davidson
and a fifth of cuervo gold
n then I'd ride on out to Reno
lose the rest in some casino
n like any good like los angeleno
keep my creditors on hold
when I make my first million
any day now
when I make my first million
any day now
when I make my first million, oh oh oh
any day now

when I make my first million
I will try hard to deserve it
and like a good boy i will serve it out
to those who need it most, let's see
the lawyers the accountants
politicians and executives
the mighty u.s. government
the father son and holy ghost
when I make my first million
any day now
when I make my first million
any day now
when I make my first million, woah, oh oh oh
any day now

meanwhile I toil in my obscurity
and my peanut butter sandwiches
n when I make my first million
I'll look back on this and grin
now that greed is back in fashion
I'll rebel with real compassion
or else that stockpiled satisfaction
will soon be turning to chagrin
when I make my first million
any day now
when I make my first million
any day now
when I make my first million, oh oh oh
any day now

Human Radio – Hole in My Head Lyrics 12 years ago
I say "hey"
you say "what"
Five minutes later
you're calling me a pain in the butt
n I'm out the door
Thanks to something that poured
Out of this hole in my head
You say "why"
I say "coz"
Now I'm not really sure
just what it was that I was talking about
This stuff just sprouts,
Out of this hole in my head,

There's a crack in my windowpane,
The wind is whistling through my brain
And I feel now pain
yet I feel shame of all the things that I said
so now I'm telling you "wait"
you say "why"
I said "baby look me straight in the eye
coz that's where the truth will lie
The rest of it flies
Out of this hole in my head"

I lie alone on my big brass bed,
The light is shinning
right through my head
I listen back with dread
To the things instead that I should of said
Now I'm telling you "goodbye"
you say "what"
I say "sticking with me is gonna drive ya nuts"
But you said that you don't mind
You like the heart that you find
Here in this hole in my head

Oh, You tell me that you don't mind,
You like the heart that you find,
In this hole in my head,
In this hole in my head,
In this hole in my head,
In this hole in my head

Human Radio – I Don't Wanna Know Lyrics 12 years ago
you could give me lots of reasons
to walk right out of here
or you could beg me to stay
but I know you're gonna disappear
you could smile and say nothing
enjoy the challenge of your secrecy
coz you can have another lover baby
just don't let it get back to me
coz when I can't feel a thing
I feel alright
n when I don't like what I see
I turn out the light
coz I don't wanna know

last night I walked right by a homeless man
my eyes stared into space
coz even if I gave him everything I had
I couldn't make his world a better place
this great green world
where there's enough for all
don't tell me starvation is too much to handle
they tell me reach out and change the world
and I reach out
I reach out and change the channel
coz when I can't feel a thing
I feel alright
n when I don't like what I see
I turn out the light
coz I don't wanna know
what's going on

Placebo – Centerfolds Lyrics 12 years ago
I've always seen this song being about an old wealthy couple. The husband was/is a powerful man in his field. It's sung from the viewpoint of the trophy wife.

"Come on fallen star I refuse to let you die
'Cause that's wrong and I've been waiting far too long"

She's expressing how unfair it is for him to finally be around only because he's dying, either actually or his career is dying.

"All the centrefolds that you can't afford
Have long since waved their last goodbyes"

The attractive models he can't afford due to his health or financially.

"You've long since faded from their eyes
So be, be mine"

The models aren't interested in him anymore either. The wife, who has been there through all of the affairs, is asking for him to return her love.

It's a very desperate love song. I can't imagine what that must feel like, but Placebo have weaved these lyrics so beautifully with the music that it accurately showcases the despair.

Skunk Anansie – Intellectualise My Blackness Lyrics 12 years ago
I've been through this myself. This song seems to be about a person who is being fetishized. The partner is material-wants another notch on their belt. They try to make up for it by intellectualizing their partner. Saying they're not like the rest of the people from their social class. And she is calling them out for it.

Yeasayer – Forgiveness Lyrics 12 years ago
My initial thoughts were that this is simply a song about asking for forgiveness.

However I developed a back story. I have too much time on my hands. :P

The song reminds me of a master-student relationship. The opening "Let me run" seems like someone asking for control, let me run [the ship]. An initiate is asking the High Priest/Priestess to be given a higher place in the religion/group. He'll take all the knowledge he's been given and run the group with the good reason they've taught him.

"But I read all of my speeches
All of my speeches"

This is the first sign of the underlying intent. He's a liar/con-artist and has thoroughly prepared this disguise of humility.

"My workstation of the dawn
Doesn't mean that much"

This line is what sparked my entire back story, and the tribal-esque drumming in the song. I was wondering what a "workstation of the dawn" could refer to. At some point my thoughts came to mythology. Throughout folklore there has been an emphasis on the changing from night to day. Cinderella is a popular modern example. Dawn is a time right before sunrise, it's bright enough to see, but still cloaked with a bit of darkness. It was often seen as the barrier between two worlds. Many religions have dawn goddesses and both Islam and several Christian liturgies require a prayer at this time.

The initiate is saying the rituals/prayers he does at this time are meaningless. He's not involved for the spiritual aspects. He only desires power/too feel superior.

"And I try to teach by my doing
Your undoing
But my time will be your ruin
Will be your ruin"

His true intentions are shown. He's aim is destruction. He wants to bring down the church/coven/religion/group.

I never quite flushed out what he could be asking forgiveness for. It could be an antiquated concept of asking permission to speak, similar to "I beg your pardon".

In general it seems like someone asking for forgiveness but in the end is really seeking your downfall.

Ane Brun – Alfonsina Y El Mar Lyrics 12 years ago
For the soft sand sea licking
Its small footprint becomes no more ,
A single trail of sorrow and silence came
So deep water
A trail dumb penalties just arrived
Until the foam.

God knows that I accompany anxiety
Let your voice callus old pains
To lie down in singing lulled
From seashells
The song he sings in the dark ocean bottom
The conch .

You'll alfonsina with your loneliness
That new poems were to look ... ?
An ancient voice of wind and salt
Breaks your soul and is carrying
And you go to beyond dreamily,
Asleep , Alfonsina , dressed in sea ...

Five little mermaids will take
By ways of algae and coral
And phosphorescent sea horses will make
A round at your side
And the inhabitants of water will play
Soon your side.

Put me down the lamp a little more
Leave me alone to sleep nurse
And if you call tell him I'm not
Tell him alfonsina not return ...
And if you call on never tell him that I am ,
Say that I'm gone ...

You'll alfonsina with your loneliness
That new poems were to look ... ?
An ancient voice of wind and salt
Breaks your soul and is carrying
And you go to beyond dreamily,
Asleep , Alfonsina , dressed in sea ...

Jay-Z – Sweet Lyrics 12 years ago
He's reminiscing about his life.

"My nephews would have grew up to do the same
But since I grew up through the game
And my influence is the same"

How his choices will affect his family.

"Shall we dance with the devil for a beat
I pray to God I ain't got two left feet"

He made some leaps of faith and hoped they turned out well.


"So fly with no fear of the flight
So if y'all hear my plight
And if you think you can make it this far without fight"

In the end he feels he's made the right choices. It was a hard road but each step taught him something meaningful.

And now everything is just Sweet.

Lana Del Rey – Diet Mountain Dew Lyrics 12 years ago
There seems to be massive confusion on the lyrics. The lyrics here are from the first music video. The problem is that there are several version floating around. Two demos, the album version, and two music videos, most of which have different compositions.

Mainly the stanzas here are correct with a few alterations. Sometimes the last word is repeated and often both of the Diet Mountain Dew stanzas are used together. I didn't rewrite the whole stanzas so that this wouldn't be too long. The only one not listed in the current lyrics is number 10.

[1] You're no good for me...

[2] DMD, baby, NYC/ Never was there ever a girl so pretty...

[3] Baby put on heart shaped sunglasses...

[4] Take another drag turn me to ashes...

[5] Hit me my darling tonight...

[6] DMD, baby, NYC/ Can we get it downlow, down and gritty...

[7] Let's take Jesus off the dashboard...

[8] Maybe I like this rollercoaster...

[9] Hit me and tell me you're mine...

[10]
baby stopping at seven eleven
bearing his white Pontiac heaven
do you think we'll be in love forever
do you think we'll be in love
**

Born To Die Album Version = 1.2-6.3.4.2-6.7.8.2-6.1.2.10.2-6.1(x3)

Music Video#1 = 1.2.3.4.5.2-6.7.8.9.2-6.1(x2).2.10.6.2

Music Video#2 (NYC T-Shirt) & Demo#1 = 1.2-6.3.4.2-6.7.8.2-6.1(x2).2-6.2.10.2-6.1

Demo#2 = 1.2(x2).3.4.2(x2).7.8.2(x2).1(x2).2(x6)

Hopefully this will help everyone know which version they are listening to.

Also I think the line is
"Maybe the speed it brings me closer"

Lana Del Rey – Get Drunk Lyrics 12 years ago
Yep I agree with WanderingYetChained.

The first few times I heard the song I thought the lyrics were
"I am, and you can't. Won't tell no one about it."

That gave me the impression that she's talking to a now sober friend. The best friend she is sleeping with is alcohol. She's coxing this person, understanding that they're now sober and can't/or shouldn't drink. But she's promising to not tell anyone, if they'll get drunk and have a ball with her.

A beautifully soft song. The chorus and the second verse lead me to think the singer is in a bit of denial about the relationship ending, that sentiment is further flushed out when she explains she doesn't want to believe they want to leave.

Very beautiful slow tempo song. It seeps of despair and nihilism.

The first verse expresses the hustle and bustle of a fast paced life. Taking charge with no regrets.

The second verse discusses her infatuation with this lifestyle. Continuing to live it up and lush it out.

The third verse dives into the dark side of the fabulous life. The cold harsh truth is that the dark makes the light so much brighter. "You know how I like that celebrity type"

Lana Del Rey – Try Tonight Lyrics 12 years ago
I've been thinking this song involves an alter ego. Given Lana's history I'm guessing it involves alcohol. In the beginning she is trying to quit drinking. She knows she wants to be sober, but recognizes its going to be hard. As the night goes on she isn't able to stay sober.

"when he enters, all of the lights go dim
he's so sure, he got a tragic lifestyle"

This first "He" is the drink itself. As the song continue the "He" is her when she is drunk.

"if he could go on without your help
then he would do it all it all by himself"

Her drunk persona is requesting help from her sober persona, and is promising to try again, tonight.

Rihanna – Cold Case Love Lyrics 16 years ago
This is about relationships and interactions. When its good its good and its "love" when its over its bitter and its "cold" This relationship is on trial, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Should they have started it? shouldn't they have? She seems to be mainly battling ith the duality of the totality of the relationship,, weighing out the goods and bads and seeing if she (the judge and jury) feels it was worth it. Whatever the case it's over and hopefully they can learn from the situation.

My personal favorite off this album.
