| Lady GaGa – Telephone (feat. Beyonce) Lyrics
| 16 years ago

Lady Gaga said somewhere that this song is about being a workaholic. While for most people the "dance floor" equals a fun night out, for Lady Gaga this is her job. It's about prioritizing her dance and music and performance over personal relationships. Every song on the "Fame Monster" deals with a different "monster," this one being something akin to fear of commitment or fear of not working/dancing/singing. |

| The Killers – Believe Me Natalie Lyrics
| 20 years ago

This song reminds me of Natalie Hershlag, perhaps because I'm slightly infatuated with her. To me the song emphasizes the necessity of living life to its fullest; I am told that the Natalie here is a person diagnosed with AIDS, so it would make sense that the singer is pleading with her to get out and enjoy life despite her condition. Although I'm probably wrong, the stanza about the old cliche, Monet, and arch of roses seems like a wall of photographs, perhaps a shot of Natalie at her wedding standing under an arch of roses (a wedding cliche) hanging underneath a Monet print. And yes, I too hear "Mom says" instead of "Moses"; it makes more sense although it might be wrong. I can imagine a good music video for this song; that alone shows that the song itself has enough content to evoke a whole story of images in my mind. This is by far my favorite song and one I enjoy listening to while falling asleep. |

This is a beautiful song; it reminds me of an open-mic poetry coffeehouse. It is skillfully written; the music matches the tone and lyrics, and the simple images it evokes are accurate to the song's theme. Every line is memorable. A true favorite of mine. |
