| Say Anything – Alive with the Glory Of Love Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
It's sort of a weird song. For one thing, sort of a silly, sexualized way of talking about this part of history. But he's telling a story, and it does make a sort of sense. I kind of get the feeling that they're not really in love, under normal circumstances they wouldn't be so into this relationship. Because all he says about her is about having sex and that she's good-looking. Mostly, I think, they're just together because they're desperate for... comfort? Happiness? A distraction? Just anything at all to live for? That sort of crazy, desperate relationship does have a sort of pathetic romance to it. And, also, it really, really reminds me of "The Bagman's Gambit" by the Decemberists. |

| Televised, that's awesome. That makes sense... | |
| The Decemberists – Red Right Ankle Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The ankle being red makes me think of the person having on a ball and chain. That's just the image it brings to mind for me. | |
| Counting Crows – Mrs. Potter's Lullaby Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Oh, man. This song is so Gatsby. I hate to sound like a literature geek, but it _is_. Every little thing. Even the circus and theme park stuff. Even the phrase "the company I keep." Not in the context, but generally, talking about the company one keeps (like Gatsby's shady friends)... Gatsby, the big show-off, obsessed with a woman who's too married for him and too rich for him even though he's gotten rich and famous... Too sublime. I should tell my English teacher. |

| Simple Plan – Crazy Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| XP I appreciate the sentimwnt, and it's true, but what a crap song. It's overearnest, in such a way that you can tell that it's just their token concerned-about-the-world song. They've done a few decent songs, but this ain't one of them. I mean, what, did their manager tell them that they need to write a song in which they seem to not be self-absorbed. Well, their audience either likes them because said audience is also self-absorbed, or likes them as a guilty pleasure. Surprisingly, they do manage to get self-absorption into this one, but unlike most of their songs, they don't even do "poor me" right. Plus, it sounds so terrible I can't even listen to the whole thing. | |

^_^ This song makes me really happy! Why? Because I really relate to it, but the tune is sort of upbeat and hopeful. "What the hell is wrong with me, Don't fit in with anybody How did this happen to me Wide Awake, I'm bored and I can't fall asleep And every night Is the worst night ever" ...amen to that. How did this happen to me? Sorry, sorry. Anyway, as is quite evident, it's just sort of a teenage dork's anthem... |

| Green Day – American Idiot Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Why is it that songs that are debateably punk or contain political sentiments end up with half a dozen pages of flaming? What is this, WWF Throwdown?! And we don't even have a referee... Anyway. I think it's interesting that the phrase "American idiot" seems to parallel "American idol." They're singing about "Television dreams of tomorrow," right? Personally, I like this song. It's catchy... |

| Lenny Kravitz – Dig In Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This line is hilarious: Once you dig in You'll find it coming Out the other side Yes, I'm childish. But doesn't it sound a bit like some sort of horrible digestive problem? XD It's just about life, and having fun in life. And having a nasty intestinal problem, I suppose... You start eating ("dig in") and it comes out the other side?! |

| Simple Plan – Perfect Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Why is it that people seem to think that if a person's problems aren't the worst thing that could happen to them, they haven't the right to complain? It's as though you expect them to only wish their life isn't as bad as it could possibly be, as opposed to wishing it was... well, perfect? Or close to it. People think that if someone else has it worse, a person should instantly take comfort from that and go about with a stiff upper lip. Oh, and Freud also thought that women were messed up, incomplete, and had issues because they were missing penises. |

| Missy Higgins – Scar Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Nice. Whether you like the whole meaning of it or not, it's such a catchy song and the general idea is universal anyway, and immature people feel the need to insult it anyway. My faith in humanity is withering away. | |
| Sixpence None the Richer – Kiss Me Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| About the hat thing... maybe she just thinks he looks cute in this girly hat! Maybe he's a pretty boy type and it cracks her up to see him in a flowered hat. Or maybe he lends her the hat. They do seem to be planning on going hiking or something. I can think of a lot of cute, silly reasons she'd want her boyfriend to bring this flowered hat. | |

| Barenaked Ladies – Tonight Is The Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Never mind about Napster. I get it. Who's saying "Hidden Sun" ISN'T a hidden song? I need to read people's posts before I start kvetching about Napster. | |
| Barenaked Ladies – Tonight Is The Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Oh, dear, creepy. BNL singing about dying. No, no, don't die! Actually, you know what's really strange? On Napster it started playing a strange song, sounded like BNL, right after this one. Said it was this one and everything but it wasn't. Something about butterflies. Is that supposed to happen? Anyway, it's an awesomely freaky effect that it's from the perspective of a guy who's dead- or as good as. I shuddered so badly my earbuds fell out! | |
