Eagles – Hotel California Lyrics 19 years ago
I was told that this song is about Synanon. Synanon was the first therapuetic community (lamemans terms... a drug rehab) in California. Once you checked yourself in, you were there for life. (Hence the, "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave")

Regina Spektor – Braille Lyrics 20 years ago
I don't think the son is blind... I think she's just using "braille" as a metaphor for how her stretch marks feel.

The Dresden Dolls – The Jeep Song Lyrics 20 years ago
I love how when she sings, "My broken heart still skips a beat" She skips a beat in the song.

And I think that, "And drive the Cherokee straight off this trail of tears" is the most clever lyric I've ever heard.

Rilo Kiley – A Better Son/Daughter Lyrics 20 years ago
Some of these lyrics are wrong. The part that goes,
"And your mother’s still calling you insane
And I swear that it’s different this time "

It's really:
"And your mother's still calling you, insane and high
swearing it's different this time"
Which is why she tells her to give in to the demons that possess her - the demons being the addiction. She's fed up with her mother so she says that.

Anyway... so I work at a really boring job, and I can listen to music on headphones while I work. The first time I heard thiss ong was on a day when I totally didn't want to be there and I was having a bad day and it totally turned it around :) Now I listen to this song a million times a day at work, and also whenever I am feeling down.
