| Coldplay – Yes Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I interpret this as a song of infidelity, and the temptation he refers to is that of adultery, and the frustration deals with the sexual temptation of the 'third party'. However, this means that the 'we' in the first verse is the married couple, but after that it's he and his potential partner. | |
| Billy Joel – Where's The Orchestra Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
The 'Theatre/Musical' is a metaphor for fame and success in the entertainment industry. The 'Orchestra' refers to the promise of fulfillment, belonging, and happiness that one imagines and expects to come hand-in-hand with stardom, yet rarely does. Joel echoes similar sentiments, wrapped in insecurity, on other songs, most notably 'The Entertainer'. |
