| Miike Snow – A Horse Is Not a Home Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
sounds like he's at a bar and hes quite intoxicated, still drinking even though hes feeling sick
the yellow horse is a yellow taxi cab, one is waiting outside (like taxis wait outside bars)
he rides home feeling heartbroken and sick, hoping it will be over soon.
hes remembering the night before he was drunk, possibly gate crashing a party and before he had messed his shirt and possibly remembering a girl he has just broken up with, remembering being home with her in bed and not in a smoky bar. |

| Snow Patrol – The Finish Line Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
could be an attempted suicide
he does the deed (possibly jumping off a bridge), he understands his life is over
then he hears radios (paramedics, police, firefighters) and is revived or wakes up to see the person he loves.
then he thinks that the end (or what he thought would be the end) is a good place to start again. |

| Zero 7 – The Pageant Of The Bizarre Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
"You may fall indeed, yeah"
i think its: "you may fall in deep"
the atlantic records website says so.
also agree with najahelene and Smiley75220. i always assumed it was about a gay or lesbian relationship. just hints like mentioning a rainbow, never being a normal family, being "bizarre"
fantastic song. |

| Slowdive – Dagger Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
"I didn't really lose you
I just lost it for a while"
gives me the chills. maybe about 2 people who cant be together due to being bad for each other. the wound is the perfect partner for a dagger. but however perfect they fit, they're slowly killing each other. |

| M83 – Safe Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
sung from the point of view of someone witnessing the end of the world. and in a strange way, hes just in awe of whats unfolding in front of him. i imagine him just choking out the words "God...its beautiful..."
another thought is that its about a guy on drugs watching a fireworks show. all these things are running through his head, visions of explosions, smoke, noise, all the while hes just laying on some grass watching fireworks. |

makes me think about something that we created getting out of our control. though im not sure why. maybe the title suggests our arrogance, thinking that we can own the sky. im probably wrong. awesome song either way. |

| Smog – I Break Horses Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
hes quite good at seducing women,
>"Just a few well-placed words"
the women he tames are ready to settle down,
>"And their wandering hearts are gone"
but he doesnt really love the women he breaks, hes in it for the act of taming them.
>"I break horses"
>"I don't tend to them"
brilliant song, maybe his best. i dunno. |

| Junior Boys – Count Souvenirs Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
the "please dont touch" line reminds me of someone clinging to the past or an idea of the past. they have a special memory of something or someone and they dont want anyone to change or talk-down this warm feeling they have. I also get the feeling (mental image) of all the things you leave behind when you go away gathering dust and decaying while you're somewhere else.
such an amazing song. |

| Mogwai – R U Still In 2 It? Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
sort of reminds me of a guy who has a "friends with benefits" relation with a girl and maybe he is falling in love with her. or she wants him to fall in love but he cant.
its the first 4 lines that really give it away, he is wondering if she is seeing other guys on the side, and maybe he's starting to feel attached.
then the rest is him thinking about having a "boyfriend/girlfriend" relationship with her.
amazing song, vocals are sung/spoken with such sorrow and meaning. |

could really be falling back into old habits or routines, be it drugs or relationships or whatever. its about relapsing into the old ways and how he can see it happening right in front of him.
for some reason it reminds me of Rear View Mirror by Grandaddy. although the songs dont sound alike at all... |

| Grandaddy – Rear View Mirror Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
along with "hes simple, hes dumb" and "now its on", this song is one of the most sincere releases from grandaddy. it oozes soul and meaning. it sounds like the outpouring of a soul.
the meaning it self is easy. dont live your life looking through a rear view mirror. but the sound they make while telling this simple story is amazing.
a great song by a smart band. |

| Hot Chip – And I Was A Boy From School Lyrics

i just had a thought and it may or may not be anthing. could it be from the perspective of a teacher seeing one of his/her students on the street, years after the students left school. the ex-student may have turned out to be a bit of a looser and its the teacher thinking to himself "we try but we didn't have long". i dunno. for me the song is slightly depressing. i dunno why. |

did anyone think about the line "I liked the way my hand looked on your head, in the presence of my knuckles" as some sort of physical abuse? sounds like it to me. "mistaken for love" does anyone think its about a guy who beats his girlfriend/wife? |

i always believed that this song was about children in messed up situations, it doesnt matter about what kid or what happened. the kids in the song are just examples. i think its about children trying to cope with burdens in life, trying to understand why bad things happen and why they happen to them, why their parents are fucked up, why theyre different. its a sad song. really good song, pitty it was passed off as a joke song by most people. |

when i 1st heard this song with out reading the lyrics i instantly thought of a horrible instance in someones life when their personality "splits in two" like multiple personality or bi-polar. creating a stronger personality that deals with the trauma and a weaker personality that hides from the pain. |
