| Architecture in Helsinki – Yr Go To Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| "It took a sentimental melody / to figure it out" surely alludes to Bizarre Love Triangle - the melody of those lyrics matches too closely to the New Order song. | |

switchedmymotto is right - the song means what it means to you. Stop insisting on just one interpretation. For interests' sake, Lu says himself that it was about a skater he met: http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/05/19/114044.php The beauty of his lyrics isn't necessarily that he created a concrete metaphor with his song, but that he's telling a story that can resonates with people who are thinking of multiple situations. I particularly like the "there's no skating here" lines, because there's a defiant, but subtle, anti-authoritarian tone there. Awesome stuff. |

| Ben Kweller – BK Baby Lyrics | 20 years ago |

I heard BK tell the story of the song when he did a live set for an Australian radio station. He said a friend of his was having a garage sale and had the Vanilla Ice album out there for like a buck or something, and he was like "What are you doing selling this?!" and bought it from her for a buck. Then, at home, he had the lyrics infront of him and started strumming a on his guitar, singing the lyrics to Ice Ice Baby and viola. I think this song is all about rocking out, having fun and going a little crazy. |
