| Iron & Wine – Walking Far from Home Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
"I saw strangers stealing kisses, giving only their clothes, giving only their clothes." I take that to be loveless kisses. Just something people do. People going through the motions. People involved in relationships where they aren't giving any of themselves. Just their clothes. Nothing meaningful. Just material. |

| Dan Auerbach – Goin' Home Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Song has a great moment in the new George Clooney movie "Up in the Air." Really fits the scene/movie well. | |
| Kings of Leon – Arizona Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The last stanza is: "She waves, Thinkin' that it's sexy She must be plum crazy I kinda think I like her I kinda think I do." He's leaving the brothel, looks behind and sees her one last time. |

"This party's overrated, but there ain't shit else to do." One of my all-time favorite lyrics. and ... "I'll be lovin' him under my shoe." Top 5 KOL song for me. |

| Interpol – Pioneer to the Falls Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song reminds me of "Donnie Darko." Not so much for content, but just the sound. |

| Hall and Oates – Maneater Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
great song. so true. i used to go to this corner bar all the time and there was this one ridiculously gorgeous bartender that i used to talk to ... and eventually, we went out a few times, hung out, all that shit ... anyway, she totally dropped me like a bad habit after a few weeks ... and this song SO reminds me of her. just listening to the words it's like, i know there's going to be some other dude who rolls into that bar and guess what's going to happen? watch out boy, she'll chew you up. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Your Heart Is an Empty Room Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
big guy nailed it. love the "Drama Cycle" reference. i've thought of that before without giving it a name. i love the line ... "and you stopped running months ago" i always thought it said "she stopped running months ago" ... just reminds me of a dude still really into a girl but she no longer is interested in him and it's sorta just depressing for the chap. |

| Pm Dawn – Set Adrift on a Memory Bliss Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
the applegate thing is so cool. applegate was like the hot chick when this song came out. and he's saying, "even if you're her, you gotta put me on." it'd be like saying today, "chelsea clinton or whatever, you're hot, but you gotta be good to me." |

underrated song ... who hasn't felt this way ... "You mention the time we were together So long ago, well I don't remember All I know Is that it makes me feel good now" |
|
| Pinback – Seville Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Not really quite sure the meaning of this song but some great lines ... "Oh, fetal Sheena counts off her last days" And ... when he says, "She was barely four years old" Like four is young enough, but the "barely" part underscores her being four years old. I don't know if that makes sense, but I love the use of the word "barely" there. |

| Interpol – NYC Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i'm not saying anything new, but this song, wow ... being fucked up while listening to it is so key. i once had sex with an ex-girlfriend (she was an ex-girlfriend at the time of the song, too) to this song and it was like the culmination of the entire relationship. can't explain it, but the "turn on the bright lights" repitition at the end just summed it all up. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Transatlanticism Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| it's probably been said on one of the above posts, but is it possible to listen to this song all the way through and not get chills during the "so come on"(s) at the end? | |
| Iron & Wine – Lion's Mane Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
i couldn't believe it when i heard this song during a college football commercial for ABC ... it said something like, "college football is your family and ABC is your home" ... i love about the last 30 seconds of this song ... no words ... just music. |

just got off the phone with the ex-girlfriend and she said she thought of this song when she was looking through old stuff. so i've listened to this song about 23 times in the last hour. there's no blame for how our love did slowly fade. what a song. |
|
| Iron & Wine – Cinder and Smoke Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
"With ash in your mouth, you'll ask it to burn again." Key line in the song. I think the song is about the end of a relationship and no matter how badly it ended, one party always wants to keep it going. Whether they know it or not, it'll burn (end) again. And the ashes in the mouth signifies the end of the relationship the first time. |

| Kings of Leon – California Waiting Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I totally agree with El Bastarddo. "Little Mona Lisa.. " - some girl, nervous as well. "Crimson and Clover ..." song in the background. "What am I giving up?" - Feels like by losing his virginity it's no big deal. "Can I get back my lonely life" - Regret over losing your virginity. "I'm going so fast that I can't slow down" - does this need an explanation? "I'd give you the news but nothing's changed" - Best lyric in the song about how having sex has done nothing to change his life. |
