| Regina Spektor – Folding Chair Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It might be 'ties' i think... sounds a little more appropriate, going with safety pins and all (punkish) "I'll safety pin his clothes all cool, and you'll grafiti up his ties" |

| Regina Spektor – Prisoners Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Sorry, just some lyric corrections... "All of the prisoners, serving life sentences" "and Hans Christian Anderson could have had his way with me" (Y) :) |

| Regina Spektor – Music Box Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think that at times this song refers to her childhood. I read that Regina used to sing and make all sorts of noises whilst doing the dishes, and her family would all tell her to stop making bad noises etc. Hence the basic terminology ("i run the water very very very hot") Music Box = her head, her mind "Life inside the music box ain't easy"... etc It's completely associable, dont you think? |

| Regina Spektor – Braille Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Try this... Braille is scripted through raised bumps forming patterns. I think the fact that Braille is how blind people write and read has nothing to do with this song: "Just sitting here and trying to decipher what's written in Braille upon my skin" so as with what the person above me's noted (amandamottram), i think that the lines and bumps and bruises etc on everyones skin marks a memory, or an event. So by trying to decipher all the 'Braille' that's marked on her skin, is like reflecting, and remembering, seeing what her past is worth etc ♥ |

| The Dresden Dolls – Missed Me Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I have some idea that "Missed Me" is a song that was writtin as some sort of an afterword to what i think is what happened to the girl in slide... like she's all grown up now, and the orange mans still in jail... "kiss me thru the window" - jail cell window... "hows the food they feed you" ;) It's like its a song to express revenge |

| The Dresden Dolls – Slide Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
When your a child, on a nice sunny day you'd want to play in a park... hence the slide featuring in the song. The orange old man waiting at the bottom ('orange' being significant here because in American jail's, the men wear orange jumpsuits) gives an idea that the park is deserted and the man is the only one there waiting to catch her when she gets to the bottom. Where it says that the man "wants to take her for a ride"... you kind of get the perverted impression that he's going to rape her (ride her) "He tells her he'll take her away where it's safe... but ofcourse this is a lie" is fairly self explanitory The only thing i can make sense of for the part about "pennies crash down from the sky"... is A) that pennies has another meaning... "one of a set of colored, usually sleeveless shirts worn as a temporary team uniform, as when scrimmaging"... so this again leads towards the orang jumpsuit jail uniform, and it being taken off... it's quite bizzaar so i doubt that idea or B) the orange man is trying to bribe the young girl with money... "shakes change in his pocket" This solution seems far more logical. The whole talk about "her sleeves unrolling," and "veins showing" could clearly be stating her clothes being removed, as the orange old man laughs and rapes her "who left the playground a good decade before the bell rang?" could collate with how she's growing up too fast, (before the bell rang, before she got out of school) because she is being raped and her virginity is taken away from her which isn't expected to happen until late years in high school... hence the part about "a good decade before" it should happen. Also, I think that the slide is used to metaphorically correspond with that as she gets further down the slide, the older she gets... "hair growing long, hips getting wider" - going through puberty. The part about her past getting lighter, is also in referance to going down the slide, because as she gets further down and she gets older, she's getting further away from her past... hence shes starting to move on - "past getting lighter" The song seems a bit scrambled, in the sense that it jumps from one incident to another or flicks from past to presence |
