Death Cab for Cutie – Lowell, MA Lyrics 20 years ago
I think it's about him leaving Lowell, which he describes as being old and crumbling (because Lowell is full of old building dating back to the Industrial Revolution). Driving away as he leaves, the skyscrapers disappear into the horizon, the radio stations are turning to static, and he's leaving Lowell behind.

Agreeing with a previous comment, this song really does describe the song well. Lowell seems so out of place in norther MA. It's so rich in culture and so urban when the surrounding towns are, well, country cow towns such as dracut with absolutly nothing to do (speaking from experience.)

Misfits – Dream lover Lyrics 20 years ago
No comments yet?

This song is pretty straightfoward. The singer is looking for the girl of his dreams. He's lonely and he's waiting for someone special to come his way.

The Suicide Machines – I Never Promised You a Rose Garden Lyrics 20 years ago
I've heard that it's supposed to be a break-up song, however, I think it's leaning more towards a "lets work it out." It's really about this guy who refuses to promise his loved one unrealistic things (the world, forever, ect) because he knows it's not in his power.

"I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
along with the sunshine
there's got to be a little rain sometimes
when you take you got to give so live and let live or let go"

(I'm sorry, I never promised you the perfect relationship.
We've had some good times, but there has to be a few bad times, too.
When you take, you have to give back, so just deal with it and keep going on with your life.)

"I could promise you things like big diamond rings
but you don't find roses growing on stocks of clover
so better think it over
Well if sweet talking you would make it come true
I'd give you the world right now on a silver platter
but what would it matter"

(I could give you material items, but I may not be able to keep these unrealistic promises
If all you ever wanted was sweet talk, I'd promise you the world, but in all seriousness, I really can't give you that)

"So smile for a while and let's be jolly
love shouldn't be so melancholy
come along and share the good times while we can."

(Cheer up, we're in love, we shouldn't be so sad.
Let's enjoy the good times of the present)

"I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
but if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go
but there's one thing I want you to know
you better look before you leap
still water runs deep
and there won't always be someone there to pull you out and you know what I'm talkin' about"

(I could promise you things beyond my power, but if that's all you want, I'd rather not have you.
You better think about things before you do them, because you may just get into trouble later on and I won't always be there to help you.)
