t.A.T.u. – Prostye Dvizheniya Lyrics 18 years ago
It's means that no matter what happens, life goes on. If your whole family just perished because of World War III, you still have to walk, you still have to eat and drink. No matter what, life goes on.

Suzanne Vega – Solitude Standing Lyrics 18 years ago
This song is about being torn between being a part of the others, or being alone.

That "Solitude stands by the window" means that she can disapear any moment. It also symbolizes freedom, if the window is open. That she's been waiting means that she's always been there, and this is just the time that she's shown herself. "The slant of the late afternoon" might mean that there's not much time left.

Solitude seems like a dark, shy character. She's alone, but trying to offer friendship, hence the "hand extended". That her "palm is split with a flower, with a flame" symbolizes the dual nature of solitude. It seems good, but can damage you if you get too much. Of course, flames can warm you, and flowers have their thorns.

Basically this song is about one's shadow. It's also a reminder that solitude is being by one's self, not being alone. "Each time we've met" obviously means that this is not the only occurance.

"I've come to set a twisted thing straight" and "lighten this dark heart" reminds me of strong introverted-ness, and how being alone gives us (introverts) energy, as opposed to being with others. :) "And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear" reflects the desperetness of the situation, and the fear. Also, that the narrator says /her/ imprint of fear, expresses a certain detachment from one's emotions. "I've never thought of finding you here" means that the inkling of peace was a surprise.

That the crowd is watching is simply anxiety, fear of being exposed. That "They're sitting all together in the dark in the warm" simply expresses the bliss of ignorance. "I wanted to be in there among them" and "I see how their eyes are gathered into one" shows that the narrator wants to be part of a group, but is wary of the almost hive mentality.

Anyway, I'm pretty much sure that I'm over-analyzing this. Or under-analyzing it. Or whatever. :) But, to each their own.

This song reminds me of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Sorry, the hunchback and belfry referances were just too much.

Splashdown – Running With Scissors Lyrics 18 years ago
This is probably a Maori love song, written by a soldier. (From symbionproject.com)

The translated lyrics (from sadena.com) are as follows:

They are agitated
the waters of Waiapu,
cross over girl
'tis calm.
'tis calm.

Oh girl
return to me,
I could die
of love for you.
for you.
for you.

I have written my letter
I have sent my ring,
so that your people can see
that I am troubled.
that I am troubled.
that I am troubled.

Oh girl
return to me,
I could die
of love for you.
for you.
for you.

shattered my pen.
broken, my pen has been
I could die
of love for you.
for you.

I could die
of love for you.
for you.
for you.

Cake Bake Betty – 64 Little White Things Lyrics 18 years ago
To me, this is a story of a girl trapped in a town full of cannibals. She's trapped in a hotel full of cannibals, forced to eat human meat, and she wants out. She hates her captors, she's scared, and they hate her as well. But in the end, the cannibals ate the girl, and the girl became one of them. The song is a message from this girl, now a cannibal as well, to you. It's an invitation to the hotel, to start the cycle all over again. But you don't find out until the end...

Now, a less literal interpretation, would be that this song is about peer pressure, and the hopelessness of nonconformity. No matter what you do, you can't escape the social jungle. You either become one of the masses, or you go to the loony bin for trying to escape.
