| The Cars – Drive Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| This song is directed at someone avoiding all the problems in their life, I know, cause that's what I'm doing right now. A fatalistic person partying their life away so they don't have to face the harsh reality of things. There is also a sad desperation to this song, never knowing when it's too late, unable to admit that things aren't great, falling over with no one there to help you, no one will stop you from making those ridiculous phone calls... it's about him loving this person but also needing to give them their own time to heal. But maybe they will never face it. Not even sure how they will get home. Such a level of avoidance that they don't even consider ANYTHING brought up in the song. Because they just want to have fun and forget about the pain they are hiding. | |
| Grimes – Oblivion Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
She says in a interview: "The song's sort of about being – I was assaulted and I had a really hard time engaging in any types of relationship with men, because I was just so terrified of men for a while." (http://www.spin.com/#articles/grimes-interview-2012-big-year) So the fact that the song is called "Oblivion" is obviously her commenting and reflecting on herself concerning this experience when it initially happened. The juxtaposition of light upbeat sound and heavy meaning (much like "Pumped up Kicks - Foster the People) almost seems like a cartharsis. With this in mind the lyrics fall together quite well to tell the story of what this incident has done to her. "I never walk about, After dark, It's my point of view, That someone could break your neck Coming up behind you always coming and you never have a clue" It's funny the way she words this, rather than focusing on why it's her point of view (which she most likely doesn't want to do) she's giving a sort example to follow... words of warning to others. "And now I look behind all the time, I will wait forever, Always looking straight, Thinking counting all the hours you wait" She's always expecting her attacker to come back, now than it's happened, she'll be prepared next time, because now she'll always be alert. Looking straight ahead as to not give in to her fear, walking straight to the goal, rather than meandering. She's also wonders how long he must have been waiting there for her... "See you on a dark night" poetically this lyric makes the song like a twisted romance... between her and her attacker... she will always see him on a dark night, in her head. |

| Natalie Imbruglia – Torn Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I think this song is about how people can change... how you can trust someone and they can change, and you get torn both emotionally and physically, I personally think this song is about rape... "I'm cold and I am shamed, Lying naked on the floor, Illusion never changed, Into something real, I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn".... BUt I also agree with Doll82... it may not be so much rape as it may be regret of losing virginity with someone who you later realised wasn't the person you thought they were at the start.. |

| Fuck I don't know if anyone else feel like this... but this song is like funky and upbeat but then there is something really weird about it like it's fun house music... it reminds me of theme parks, circus's, stripey tents.... candy canes... fuck... it's weird... I love it. | |
