| The Whitlams – Make The World Safe Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I feel thing song is about two relatively normal people (with a few money worries, and an orange tree), who, like most others, can find the world dangerous. It's about being safe, by having something tangiable and stable in the world. Not something or someone perfect, but just having someone who can make you feel less alone. Like you're safe, even in the scary wide world. |

| OK Go – Oh, Lately It's So Quiet Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
My favourite Ok Go song (maybe a tie with Return though...). Yes, I definitely agree with Jaw... this feels like he's pretending he doesn't think about her, when really, he can't stop. He uses negative words to describe her presence "lurking" "haunting". Thus, he's trying to suggest that she is unpleasant to be around. Yet, the way he seems to think about where she is (and tellingly, who she might be kissing) suggests that her absence bothers him more then he wants to admit. I think it's a bad/angry break-up, kind of thing...but he can't get over her, now matter how much he doesn't like her. |

| Tom Jones & Cerys Of Catatonia – Baby, It's Cold Outside Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
"Say lend me a comb" --Lend me a "coat" ^^; I can't believe there's no comments on this yet! Personally, I really don't like the Tom Jones version... These words just don't fit his voice... But anyway. This is one of the sexiest songs I've ever heard. Sung properly, it gives me the shivers. "Well maybe just a cigarette more" is definately the line that gets me every time. |

| Lior – This Old Love Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Is this song as simple as it seems? Why are there so many lines about "moveing on"? ("yeah we’re moving on, moving right along.", "we’re moving on looking for direction")... and so much of this is sad, "shoes you can never fill" "Thinking back to innocence I can no longer connect" "I don’t have a heart left to throw around." The chorus is very very sweet and warm... but what do all the sadder lyrics mean? Is he saying that there are bad things, and things are changeing, but their love won't? It's a bit bittersweet... |

Dude... no offence FOB, but I think you need to hear a song, before you say what it means. Thats why it's a song, and not poetry. |

| The Darkness – Girlfriend Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I love the irony and wit of the darkness =) This song is no exception. Lauraisme-- I don't think so, actually. The chorus seems very ironic and out of place, when you hear verse two. "Why the hell are we breaking our necks when there's hardly any sex SEX!" This line almost definately says that he's not taking the heartache of breakup seriously... I think this is a bit of a jab at those songs like "Confessions" (by some RnB guy... you know?)-- where the cheating boyfriend goes back to his girlfriend and says "I love you" even though he cheated. Thats why he repeats "I love you, I love you, I love you so much"... um, so much ^^; Because really, if he loved her so much, he wouldn't have cheated, nya? |

| Oasis – Live Forever Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This so *exaclty* sums up a teenager-- rebelious, disinchanted, self-obsessed, and maybe a little...uplifted?. (Ok, so, all the teenagers here are going to come running at me, saying thats not how they feel... but heck, it's how I feel ^^; ) -They think they can do anything ("I just wanna fly"). -They don't care about anything but themselves ("I don't really wanna know, how your garden grows"). -They lose many of the nieve thoughts of childhood, and become dissinchanted and sceptical ("Maybe I just don't believe").- They live for their friends. -They think their irrevocably unique ("We see things they're never see") and most of all, teenagers really do feel that they're immortal- not only do they not want to die, they can't even imagine the possiblity. We really will 'Live Forever'. |

| Apoptygma Berzerk – Moment Of Tranquility Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I definately felt it was about double suicide... There too many "drowning" and "dies" in this, for it to be about moveing on after a break up... | |
| The Killers – Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think there's definately a bit of a spoof, to this song-- The thrift store reference, the "glamorous" line, and most of all "It's all I need". The line, "she'll play the drums I'm on tambourine" smacks of those kiddlets in high-school, dreaming of how they'll be in an awesome indie band. However, considering that The Killers have been called Indie Rock, I'd say there was also a bit of truth in this. Not quite an "anthem", but perhaps, a bit of irony, that they're mocking their own scene? That they're taking the piss of people who think Indie-Rock the be-all-and-end-all, when, for a musician, it can be? |

Heh, morbid love songs are practically common these days. Have you heard about Nick Cave's album "Songs to kill your girlfriend to" =P This song seems a little too... soft, for "shock value". To loveing. But I'll agree there's a deffinate move to find something different. Something that hasn't been done before. |

bleedthecoloursopen: I don't actually think its about him commiting suicide though. He doesn't see it as killing himself. The lyrics never say anything about him wanting to join her, or die for her. But all the digging her up stuff, and the "heaven just can't have you", thats more indicative of how he's in denial about her death. He can't accept that she's dead (thus, he doesn't see being with her as dieing himself either). The last stanza, where he goes to lie in her grave, he doesn't say that he's killing himself there either. He says "They'll find us in each other's arms". It seems more like he just believes he can be with her forever. *sigh* but yes, beautiful, perfect, song. It reminds me alot of little children, and how some don't understand death. |
