| Imogen Heap – Hide and Seek Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I think the fact that there is no music exemplifies how fundamental the lyrics are and how easily applicable they are to everyday life. I think the underlying moral is that nothing is guaranteed in life. "Trains and sewing machines... they were here first"- To me, this states how constant time is and how short a time we are here. Trains and sewing machines were here way before our time, and will be here afterwards. This song could be applicable anywhere from an argument in a relationship -"you dont care a bit...this is for the best"... phrases heard when people are breaking up. It could also be someone trying to sway someone out of atheism. It may sound crazy, but after a few times of playing the song over and over, it sounds like someone is trying to explain the pleasures of the world and how small they are compared to heaven, but the person rejects religion "you dont care a bit" |

| Modest Mouse – Dramamine Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I've been listening to this song a lot since last summer when I first heard it. The playcount on iTunes is well over 1,000 times. I think the artist is trying to express a dysfunctional relationship by paralleling it to the experience of motion sickness. I think he is angry at his partner because she uses him for whatever she needs, and never has a true relationship. He is "spinning" in a world where he cannot tell the difference between true personality and a fake persona. Just my take. | |
