| Thom Yorke – And It Rained All Night Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
he was looking out of his new york hotel room as it was raining really hard.
he saw things flooding and envisioned the streets covered in water, people in cars underwater.
But the tiny voice in his earpiece tells him its never gonna happen (skeptics of global warming perhaps?)
everyone comes out and never do anything (thus - the worms?) |

| The Strokes – Ask Me Anything Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
|
I think its a play on his having nothing to say mixed with some pretty poignant political commentary, with Hostile Indians having harmless summer camps named after them and the opposite with soldiers and children. |

| The Strokes – Vision Of Division Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
I think this song is exactly what the title says : "a Vision of Division", from one's love.
Does anyone think the "All I do is wait for you" line sounds like "All I Do Is Dream Of You," from Singin' in the Rain? |

About being a teenager, yes.
But its also about finally being freed, as benj said, Billy got his license around that time, and so he finally had the ability to say he was free. |

| Death from Above 1979 – Black History Month Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
|
Its about the city that is being populated by perhaps 'unsavoury' (to them) elements of society, resulting in the collateral damage that always occurs from racism. The kids, who are friends with those from other cultures and races, have to experience leaving others' lives and experience people leaving their lives because of the colour of their skin. |

| Nine Black Alps – Cosmopolitan Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
Nobody will ever be enough.
This song says (of the magazines and society saying), Oh shut up, suck it up, you'll never be special. And it conveys the fact that many kill themselves through these stupid unecessary boundaries. |

| Metric – Monster Hospital Lyrics

This song is about exactly what GinaMarz said, but I'll add that its also about the ordinary never having a say in the reckless beaureaucry (sp?) of international regimes. |

| Metric – Handshakes Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
Its about wishing something else was there but the endless monotony of the last two lines, and about creating your own path so there don't need to be any handshakes.
The 1st verse is the after, the second is trying to suck up to your boss, the 3rd is working hard to get your pay to feed the family that loves you. |

| Kasabian – Cutt Off Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
A lot of Kasabian's songs are about wartime, and this is no different, its all about how one's forced to do things they don't need to, like John Lilly in the song.
They relate it to LSD because that's what makes you do things you don't need to also. |

This is a great song, because it deals with all sorts of different images between the girl and the boy in question, and how they're always trying to get something, even when their dreams are crushed. |

| Kaiser Chiefs – Oh My God Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
Oh my god, I can't believe it. I've never loved a song like I love this song.
I love this song because it talks about the ups and downs of life, falling down, getting up again, and facing the challenges, no matter how far you are from home. |

| Death from Above 1979 – Blood on Our Hands Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
Actually. they've had one LP and one EP, a few singles, an iTunes Exclusive Live Session, and a remix album.
I'm pretty sure this is very Macbeth-ian, where the couple have commited a crime together and now can't think of anything but that when they see each other.
Just my little thought. |
