| Modest Mouse – Little Motel Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song is about a relationship who doesn't want to break up, but they're having trouble understanding each other. They don't want to hurt each other either, but they just have issues with each other, and they speak them. They're loving each other's company at the same time. They just might be in love. | |

Fuck everything n have a good time. You don't really know what anyone means by what they do. Give yourself time to think, but not too much. Don't let life slow you down. There are bigger things to worry about, they're just in places that are "higher" and harder to reach. Enjoy the ride, cuz all you see is all you see is all you see. "Life happens too fast for you ever to think about it. If you could just persuade people of this, but they insist on amassing information." -Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. I heard that quote a little while ago and this song reminded me of it. Sick song, by the way. |

| Tegan and Sara – I Bet It Stung Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think this song is about people getting to know each other and the other one is really nervous around her. She wants things to just work out naturally without forcing it. The best relationships are the ones that just work out without having to force conversation or worrying about what to talk about next. | |
| Gorillaz – Clint Eastwood Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Even after reading most of the comments, i still think this song is about weed just as i initially had thought. There's also random inhalations.. implying having a toke? Besides, you don't need to get into the heavy stuff to get into your own world. Whenever I get high i don't have a huge grasp on what time it actually is. I hate time anyway. But still, the high WILL run out and the future is coming on.. just gotta escape it. | |

"I expect nothing less from you tonight." He doesn't want to change for her, and she doesn't expect her to change for him. To love someone you love him as he is. |

| Bright Eyes – Down in a Rabbit Hole Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is definitely about someone he knows that does drugs. It's so dark and negative. The music is almost inticing in a depressing and intense way, much like the outcome of drugs? Drugs are bad. ;) | |
| Bright Eyes – Drunk Kid Catholic Lyrics | 19 years ago |

To me, this song and it's title are comparing his excessive drinking to church crazy people. How religion is almost an illusion like drinking is for some people. Especially old people.. they must be either scared of dying or just bored and want to get out of the house. Church is like an illusion in the way that you can go to seek forgiveness for being a bad person. Drinking is the illusion [for the time of being] that he has no problems. I've noticed that drinking or getting high actually does make bad thoughts and almost depressed thoughts disappear while you're on them. I've done it many times purposely. So, back to the song, he's basically telling how he's drinking to stop thinking about a girl. At first it sounds like he's pissed at her and being spiteful, saying how much fun he's been having without her. [I picture him telling this to her, because he says 'you' in the song and not 'her'.] Hence, being spiteful and rubbing it in her face when it's not even true Because... then his tone changes and turns into his aching pain because he's missing her to death. Then the tones mix together and he's both pissed and missing her and he's really just severely fucked up by her. At the end.. 'I need to get paid' sounds like a play on words and that he really means 'I need to get Laid'. |

| Straylight Run – The Tension and the Terror Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
To me, this song isn't about a couple that's been broken up, or a guy who's cheating on his girlfriend. It's just about summer and how everyone's been anticipating it so much and their mindset is leaning towards partying and having a good time. "Come summertime, we're all the same age here" He's interested in a girl probably a few years younger than him, and we all know that there's usually a lack of respect to the fact that younger girls are real people instead of objects. Therefore, he's going straight to hell because he plans on taking advantage and enticing her to get with him. "All the possibility and promise just weighs on me so heavily" In summer, anything goes. He understands the fact that he could indeed fall in love with this girl, (promise) ->thus limiting him to having fun and partying with his friends and hooking up with a bunch of other girls too. The next stanza is how he got to know her and is obviously interested in her. He's trying to lie to himself though, "to keep myself from kissing you", because he doesn't want to believe himself that he's falling for the girl he was initally solely interesting in laying with. "And whether we're supposed to or not, we still will We're so much better off than them" That's why i think he's not cheating.. because if he was, it would be obvious that they're not "supposed" to be together at all. But here, there's an uncertainty. "We're so much better off than them" They're better off spending time together themselves and won't worry about everybody else partying and having a good but meaningless time. "A second passes by and i regret it" This is where i start to think that it's probably just a summer fling. He knows that they only have summer to be together, and he wants to live every second with her to the fullest. I could be wrong because it doesn't make sense, but the song also ends abruptly which could be relating to how summer is just cut off and everything goes back to the way it was. |

I read most of the comments about the Message this song is conveying, and I like how many people were able to relate to it. The lyrics in this song are so perfectly placed, like all dcfc songs. My favorite is: "as each descending peep on the LCD took you a little farther away from me" ...but no1 even commented on it! The LCD is the stuff that numbers are composed of in a digital watch. Every second that goes by is another second with you that I can't get back. Time just never stops... Awesome. |

So this is the new year. Ever wonder how holidays aren't as highly anticipated as they were when we were younger? This is sort of foreshawing his lyrics about going back to the old days in the way that new years actually felt like a big deal in the younger years. He's not feeling the excitement that he used to feel this time of year. siginifies other people's excitement that it's the new year. This is repeated because it's exaggerating how he doesn't feel these "explosions" of the whole new year's celebration. The next verse is sort of mocking the new year's resolution scenario. People make resolutions to change their ways about things they feel guilty for doing; however, resolutions are generally never kept. Then the music speeds up a bit, almost as if he's forced his mind to think differently and more up-beat. So he decides to be thankful for what he has. "Put your best suit or dress on" and enjoy the good things that are going on in your life instead of focusing on the bad. In the next verse, to me, he's saying how the world has gotten more intimidating due to modern technology and the way it's corrupted the world. "There'd be no distance that can hold us back" is referring to our fear of being unsuccessful because the population of the world has become so large that individuals can feel insignificant. This is repeated because we can all look back and regret chances we didn't take that we probably should have. The final lines, "So this is the new year", is him repeating to himself, almost hypocritically, that he's changing his ways and making sort of a to enjoy life while you still have it. |
