Drowning Ophelia is right - a swan song is like your final effort - one more try. But I think the death part is not related to orgasm, but to the death of their relationship. It was a rocky relationship, they've grown apart, but neither is ready to give up, so they're giving on one last chance, their swan song. And though they've had a long and rocky history, it will mean nothing in the future because the relationship has dissolved. She is trying to call him, but to no avail, and they both know that they are over. |

This song is from Alice, and it's about Alice, after she was written/created and she feels left behind. The first time I heard this song it was really late at night, I was alone, and drunk, and I sobbed and sobbed. It's so pretty and sad. |

I'm not sure what this song means to me, but I absolutely love alliteration. "My fighting fame is fabled and fortune finds me fit and able." That's just incredible. She is so talented. "I killed my dinner with karate, kick em in the face, taste the body." How freaking awesome is that? |

Don't get so wrapped up in your fantasy world that you forget there is a real world as well. Damn you practicality, you could have warned me before I quit school and forgot about the real world. |

For some reason this song makes me thing of an independent female, a girl who is single and completely happy with her choice. Her family, however, doesn't understand how this could be, and they want her to date and be married - like she is not complete unless she has a man. If there she wanted to be in a relationship, the right relationship will find her. Otherwise she's going to keep moving forward with her life. Are you worried about me, overbearing family in sheep's clothes? Let me put your mind at ease, I am completely content with my life exactly the way it is. Your efforts to marry me off are to no avail; I don't want the veil of flowers yet, and when I do, I'll let you know. |
