| Copeland – Ordinary Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Rather straight forward lyrics. I believe it's about growing older with a significant other and being content with the rather repetitious, "ordinary" life that it becomes.No matter how many times you return home and see the same thing, it's perfect. Knowing that you're sacrificing so much to be with someone yet, even though it may be simple, the joy of having that person every day far outweighs the absence. |

This song is about getting back together with some significant other. I think it's about finding someone you just broke up with or whom you have previously dated and they just broke up with another person. This describes why one person is weeping in the grass. At first the person is surprised to see them. Clearing the throat and waiting for words to come. Probably to retouch whatever falling out that they had. They next realize not to say anything as they will probably end up hurting one another more. They decide to sit silently together and their anger subsides. In time, they realize they still have those feelings. The end of the song is the worst. The trading the future for the past verse. It is basically saying that because it feels so good now, they will trade the future for the past. Essentially, they know they will get hurt again but because it feels so good, it doesn't matter at the present. |

| The Antlers – Bear Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Furthered Translation: First Verse: The bear is obviously a newly conceived fetus. Evidence stems from the "kicking" and "we'll put an end to him." This sort of mutual decision that the couple will be getting an abortion. This can be supported by "we'll make all the right appointments no one ever has to know." The next deals with the sort of social ramifications of being young parents. They are "scripting another show" because they are both worried about what is going on, but at the same time they have to keep composure. "Turning 21" reveals that the narrator is a young father and "drink champagne although you shouldn't be" adds further foundation that the significant other is indeed carrying a child. Their friends are avoiding them simply out of social context and wanting to distance themselves from people who have made poor decisions. Chorus: The narrator becomes very duplicitous at this point. You can look at the idea of that being 21 is a responsible age to have a child, that the couple is coping out for strictly social reasons. Second Verse: Without being mundane, "cutting a bear from underneath" can only mean one thing. My explanation of the chorus can further be supported by the line, "we're not scared of making caves or finding food for him to eat, we're terrified of one another and terrified of what that means." I have had a bit of a revelation that in the end the procedure never happens. The line "I'll know we're fucked and not getting unfucked soon" can be taken that to be "fucked" means to be pregnant and if they aren't getting "unfucked soon" maybe it was her quick decision that changed the plan.l |

(In the middle of the night I was sleeping sitting up, when a doctor came to tell me, "Enough is enough.") -This distinguishes that the author isn't the patient. If you are sleeping sitting up in the hospital than you are in the waiting room or in a chair in a patients room. It could be noted that there could be some anorexia ties here and there. Maybe depression in general. |

I recant what i said earlier about the lyric, it is "not getting." This song is a hundred percent about an abortion. I believe the album theme is death, not cancer. Everything here points to a pregnancy- The girl can't drink. The "cub" (baby). If it was cancer why would they be afraid of finding food for it or a cave for it to live in. |

I have a feeling this is about bi-polar disease or schizophrenia. Two being the two personalities. |

This song is about an abortion. I believe saying it is about cancer is inaccurate. The chorus, "We're too old, not to old," is a play on that being 21 is a responsible age to have children. That being that old they are both very capable of providing for a child if it were to be born. But on the other hand, 21 is very young. Does anyone have the linear notes for this album, iTunes didn't give a digital book. I believe the line is "We're getting unfucked soon." This would make sense if it were about an abortion. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – The Ice Is Getting Thinner Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think some of you may have missed the point on the song. I don't see this as a failed relationship metaphor, more so the aging of love throughout life. Much like an opposite "I'll Follow You Into the Dark." The narrator is explaining how the "seasons (Life)" is degrading the love between the other character. How that the "ice," is the time that they have left until they die. There is nothing that can stop them from drifting apart at some point and one of them will be alone in the end. This can be backed up when be says, "we stayed by it's side." As if he and the character aren't deterred by this, they understand the fate and are sticking through it. It reminds me of the film "Synecdoche, New York," which deals heavily with the denial people have about their impending fates. |

| Both of you are very right. The story can be applied to anybody who has ever expected to have an epifany at some meaningful location | |
| Vampire Weekend – Walcott Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I am pretty sure "Fuck the bears from provincetown" is a reference to Brown College in Providence (Mascots are the Bears). It makes since because of the rivalry between Columbia and Brown (Both being Ivy league). | |
| Ben Gibbard – Thin Ice Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I am pretty sure that the second line is The Seasons have changed, So have we. Im pretty sure this song is about falling in love and knowing that in the end death will swallow us both and how ben realizes that time is going by a little quicker than he wants. |

| Great song, one correction though i believe he is saying Countless shores instead of Continents shores. I think we'll have to wait for the album to come out to be positive | |
| The Ataris – Eight Of Nine Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I believe it may be a Fear and Loathing in LV reference when he talks about the wave rolling back after the crest. It's possibly one of the most climactic parts of the movie/book | |

| Against Me! – Searching for a Former Clarity Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Lol You guys are funny, this has nothing to do with AIDS maybe Tom Gabel used aids as the scenario but its about not wanting to be in a band anymore. Watch the dvd kids and realize that AM! wants to get away from the business aspect of being in a band and stop being targeted. Like when he says "When everyone you ever meet or love be just a relationship based on a false presumption." Meaning A and Rs and what not just love them because the are an oppertunity to make money. Anyways that is what the song is about | |
| Death Cab for Cutie – Photobooth Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song is about the akwardness of having sex with somebody. He says when they awoke and he took her home they realized it was nothing. Overall its a summer fling that didnt last. When i first heard this i thought it was a postal service song because of the mario-esque intro/outro but i love DCFC and Postal Service equally | |

| Thursday – Standing On The Edge Of Summer Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| yeah feelgood is right i believe Geoff says "This song goes out to the syndicate, to all our friends here, this song is about the last time i was in columbus, i i saw that my grandmother was dying and it was the last time i was going to see her, Its aboput how good life is, but how quickly you can go | |
| Against Me! – Unprotected Sex with Multiple Partners Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This is about how rediculous music marketing is | |
| Against Me! – Searching for a Former Clarity Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song is about not wanting to be in a band any more because AM! was so targeted to be on major labels and so the song is about wanting to die and just give up on being in a band because its just bs. Tom says on the DVD someone said they would give him 1 million dollars to make a record and he said it was rediculous. As you often witnessed mortallity in, exchange for the ticket price. That is about killing yourself onstage for the reason of not being left alone and stuff of that nature, it isnt about dying of aids |
