| Rilo Kiley – August Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think it probably is -as darkwolf112 said- about a summer hook up, that they fell or was falling in love with, and the person was like, hey, this is just summer love, as he sings: "told me you were not the one... not to take it to heart" and well, they both took off, and live far from each other, but the guy singing can't get over it, and still has hopes, "Someday we'll meet beyond the stars And it'll be away from here Someday we'll meet beyond the land that you call miles away Away from here" but the truth is, he probably won't ever see them again.. , and maybe what he's longing for, is the feeling of meeting and being with someone who's truly amazing, and not a person in particular.. |

| Conor Oberst – Eagle on a Pole Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The "saw an eagle on pole" part I do believe is just what he said, someone saw the eagle an another person told them all to write a song starting with that line. the rest of the song... I think is about going back to things you had supposedly given up or changed in your life , kind of like, going back to old habits -not necessarily drugs- especially as he says "I tried so hard to finally settle down" maybe staying in one place, or being with just one person... I don't know why, but ever since the first time I heard it I linked it to Maria Taylor, and then learned they had broken up. So to me, it is about not being able to change something even after you fought yourself so much to do so, you know, kind of like what happened to Alex in A Clockwork Orange..., at the end you keep going back to that -whatever it is- cuz maybe that's just who you are... Of course I might be totally wrong... |

| Bright Eyes – Down in a Rabbit Hole Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
this song describes almost entirely the first time I did coke, except for the last verse 'cuz I didn't do that much and wasn't close to OD, to be honest my friend and I don't really remember how it was like, but after one bottle of whiskey and one of vodka we had plenty of energy 'til like 8 am when I found myself alone, freaked out and was so scared and paranoid about things I normally try not to think about, and just crashed... the next morning I didn't wanted to go home so I stayed at her place, discovered my ankle was amazingly swollen -I fell down many many times that night- and I was in so much pain, we weren't hungry, and wanted to go to the beach, but I could barely walk..., so yeah, it's totally about drugs, |

| Kelly Clarkson – Because of You Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
for those who -like me- have spent years trying to figure out what she's singing in the "I watched you die I heard you cry.." I think it goes like this: I watched you die, I heard you cry every night in your sleep... - I watched you die...- I was so young, you should've known better than to lean on me... - ...in your sleep. I was too young for you...- You never thought of anyone else, you just saw your pain... - ...to lean on me. You never saw me...- And now I cry in the middle of the night for the same damn thing! =) |

| Maria Taylor – Two of Those Too Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I don't understand why everything must change, you can kind of be in the same place, and still be able to grow up.... If you see, its usually the best things in your life that change, and then you have to move on, even if you don't want to... |

| Tilly and the Wall – Lost Girls Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I don't know why, oh well, I do know..., but that part "and it burns, and it burns, and it burns..." I think its, you know, when you sniff something, and it burns, and you're like, shit, it burns, it burns!!! I guess its just me,.... |

She was with someone but couldn't open her heart entirely 'cuz she didn't wanted to get hurt... One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. |

|
| Tilly and the Wall – The Freest Man Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| shit, those lyrics just made me cry, wheather it is about Conor or not, I think we all can relate to that song at least a little bit, there's always someone there you're scared for... and you don't like how you feel, 'cuz you're afraid... | |
| Bright Eyes – A Scale, a Mirror, and Those Indifferent Clocks Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
"And language just happened It was never planned And it’s inadequate to describe where I am In the room of my house Where the light has never been Waiting for this day to end" I think this part is kind of literal, I mean, you can never stop communicating stuff, even when you're not talking, you're still communicating something, like, you're depressed, with no hopes and someone notices something's wrong and want you to talk about it, say what you're thinking, or feeling, and why you feel that way, but you just don't wanna explain anything 'cuz you know/think they would not understand, |

| Bright Eyes – Drunk Kid Catholic Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think this song is like, a reply to the "good people" judging the "bad ones", it could be anything, a banker judging an artist, scientists judging preachers; in this case it's about those who claim to be clean, and pure 'cuz they go to church and "follow" the rules of religion, so they start judging those who don't, and drink, and/or do drugs -no offense but in my opinion judging is like a hobbie for a lot of them- Maybe it has something to do with his family reaction on his drinking. It's kinda like "What the hell? you're just as fucked up -if not more- as I am!" "But I’m working all weekend I need to get paid" I think it's about how you keep trying EXTRA hard and don't see any change at all, no compensation, nothing. I think this was the first Bright Eyes song I heard and I really liked it, at that time I was like 15, and drank a little too much at home, alone, and my mom kept telling me to stop, I don't believe in god anymore, so when I'm going through hard times, the only things I really have is music, booze and drugs... So that's what I think it is about, some people do god, some do work, some do drugs, no one has the right to say anything about it, 'cuz we all have our own issues to deal with. Just my opinion anyway. |
