| The Cardigans – Live and Learn Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
this is one of my favorite songs. to me, it expresses the utter flatulence of "open mindedness" and all the alternative lifestyles that go along with it. Here's what I think. She's been a cosmo woman, cohabitating with her bf, but gets left. and it's not the first time, either. it always hurts her, so she trys to find enlightenment. but it turned out to be empty. Then, she goes on to prove the point of the song (i.e. not learning): "but I'll be fine 'cause / I live and I learn" It's only in the last frame she concedes the truth. It may be impossible to really learn by "living" in the way that she has been. one of my coworkers said she had to stop having "relationships" for two years before the right guy came along (one who she knew would stay with her). Read the sociology research... cohabitation (and all that it entails) is more emotionally destructive than staying single. So either get married, and /stay/ that way (else what's the point?), or stay single!! oh, you didn't hear me. well... fly on little bird. |

| Project 86 – Breakneck Speed Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Maybe more than one relationship? "Another end to the chase, yeah / Another falling from grace / Into cunning, cold, crafty web of lace." I think he's frame shifting between a specific relationship and the pattern of his relationships in general. But who knows. We see what we want. | |
| Alpinestars – Crystalnight Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song is so nebulous, it's hard to know. Does Crystalnight refer to Germany's 1938 Krystalnaught, the infamous evening Reichmiesters decimated Jewish businesses-- breaking glass, looting, burning. Or is it about a failed relationship? A relationship ("when we walked in the sun", sun warmth and radiance of love) which protagonists say was better than anything ("we have wasted lives and strayed from the path") they've had since? Or is it (don't shoot me) about our relationship with Love himself? As children, having some awareness our emotional freedom would dimish as, according to the narrative of Peter Pan, we eventually "matured" into selfish, destructive, and, in some cases myopic, pirates? I don't know...but I like it! |
