| Nirvana – Lounge Act Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song appears to be about jealousy. Specifically of a friends girlfriend. The singer covets her and appears to have had a history with her. But it sucks cause he left her and it was for the best... but it still sucks. | |
| Sponge – Candy Corn Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The opening seems to be about a man remembering soldiers that died (close your eye) in a war that their side won. And the the vicory is bitter sweet. (Blood and candy mixing on the floor) The next verus talks about a surving soldier, he remembers them. He must be the one making the strings of candy corns to decorate their bodies. I suppose it could be left at a grave as well. both make sense. The war (and possibly age) has left him hollow shell of a man with just his memories. The last verus is very cleary him dieing (Close my eyes) with the memories of those who are lost and how none of them were ready to go. He sees that they all feared death ... I figure he dreamed the silhouettes and there in saw their fear of dieing when he gave them the string of candy corns. |

possibly my favorite song from 2005. certainly my favoite song on this cd. It really grew on me. Obviously the video is what the song is about. (war and the effect on people and relationships.) I think knowing that for sure only makes the song better. (with no questioning) the people who want it to mean something else... thats cool you can do that with any song. certainly war in general is a metaphore for relationships. Personally I wouldnt change a thing. there are tons of wonderful songs about "normal" relationships. I like this really powerful song about war and the friendships and love, and the would have, could haves that revolve around it. It really stays with you. |

I went through it .. line by line (heh, ya too much time on my hands) this is the latest take I have on it.. though I'm sure it can be refined more (or is subject to other interpitations) Rosemary, Heaven restores you in life You're coming with me Through the aging, the fearing, the strife 'rosemary was in an accident with him (I'll assume car cause of the video) 'they are going to the hospital 'references to the accident It's the smiling on the package It's the faces in the sand It's the thought that move you upwards Embracing me with two hands '(before the accident, meeting rosemary) Rosemary smiles, she is the "package" 'This is the people at the beach they see 'The idea of flirting is what gets him up to talk to her 'They hug Right will take you places Yea maybe to the beach When your friends they do come crying Tell them now your pleasure's set upon slow release '(later)They were doing the wrong thing (cheating) and they head off in a car 'He was taking her to the beach (again) '(after the accident) Rosemary's friends come to visit 'she can tell her friends about your pain killer IV drip Hey wait, Great smile Sensitive to fate, not ... denial (but hey whose on trial?) 'Friends tell you your looking good in the hospital. 'This must have been fate (ends all the running around) 'He has to explain himself to others It took a life span with no cellmate The long way back Sandy, why can't we look the other way? 'She (his girlfriend sandy) doesn't come visit him. The time in the hospital feels like a lifetime 'He just wants all this behind him, but its gonna take forever to right with her 'Hes asking sandy to pretend it never happened. We speaks about travel Yea we think about the land We smart like all peoples Feeling real tan I could take you places Do you need a new man? Wipe the pollen from the faces Make revision to a dream while you wait in the van 'He remembers the lead up to the wreck with rosemary and conversations there 'They make small talk 'they are people of today, "with it" 'feeling real tan (at the beach now) 'more small talk 'the talk about leaving sandy 'last 2 lines are post wreck, cleaning the dust off them from the wreck 'and spend time in the ambulance thinking about the fantasy they were persuing Hey wait,Great smile Sensitive to fate, not .. denial (but hey whose on trial?) 'same as before It took a life span with no cellmate To find the long way back Sandy, why can't we look the other way? 'same as before You're weightless; you are exotic You need something for which to care Sandy, why can't we look the other way? 'swiming with rosemary 'he wants to be with her and think she wants it 'sandy why cant we pretend this didnt happen Leave some shards under the belly Lay some grease inside my hand It's a sentimental jury And the making of a good plan You've come to love me lightly Yea you come to hold me tight Is this motion ever lasting Or do shudders pass in the night? 'post wreck, he wants to convince sandy hes hurt 'so she doesnt think about him cheating 'He's hoping to get sympathy from sandy 'He thinks its the best he can hope for 'she comes to care for him (finally) 'she holds him and loves him 'The moment seems to last a long time 'He wonders if delirious and will wake up shaking Rosemary, Heaven restores you in life I spent a life span with no cellmate The long way back Sandy, why can't we look the other way? 'same as before You're weightless, semi-erotic You need someone to take you there Sandy, why can't we look the other way? Why can't we just play the other game? Why can't we just look the other way? '(before the accident) another refrence to swimming with rosemary 'The offer to take rosemary somewhere that led to the accident 'sandy can't we pretend this didnt happen 'Suggest sandy had an idea he liked rosemary and they played like there was nothing there 'sandy can't we pretend this didnt happen |
