| Iron & Wine – Caught in the Briars Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I'm not sold on the prostitute angle fully, but I'd say the "I never meant--" could be indicative. Though maybe he's talking more about hypocrisy when he says "all the sinners here have crosses for Sunday" in this beautiful way, seeing the warmth in her and not shaming her like some snooty bullshit upperclassman might | |
| The Gaslight Anthem – We Did It When We Were Young Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| One of the best songs of 2010. | |
| The Gaslight Anthem – The Diamond Church Street Choir Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Nah, it's totally "who who who" | |
| David Bazan – Heavy Breath Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
My best friend, a staunch atheist. My girlfriend, a lax but faithful Catholic. Somewhere in between, this song basically tells why they can still be friends, and why I'm friends with both in between. Bazan! Bravo! |

| Bob Dylan – Talkin' World War III Blues Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think the lights are definitely an atomic bomb, hence the whole world being wiped and nobody being left, the parking metre on fire, the radio being out, the fear of "communism" (Cold War nuclear fear), and the time being operator stuck on 3 o'clock, when the bomb was no doubt dropped. | |
| The National – Guest Room Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I agree koruboy, but less regarding judgment day and more of the nature of life itself. It's especially epitomized in the chorus, as this world is just "the guest room". "We can't stay here." |
|
| Grizzly Bear – Lullabye Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
In interesting way to look at it may be the angle of a bored housewife relaxing by the poolside with the pool boy, and the tumultuous affair that would no doubt take place. She's all emotionless and despondent in a dramatic middle-age way, and he's young and full of sprite, much different than her husband: "My love's another kind". Very visual lyrics, regardless. |

| Dan Deacon – Drinking out of Cups Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think Dan Deacon hit some mean hallucinogenic substance and just talked it's perfect I'm in love with this, it's so beautiful and cute |

| Devendra Banhart – Pumpkin Seeds Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song is autumn for me pumpkin seeds and birds and leaves and quiet guitar gently cooing the change of colour and timber striptease |

| The Mars Volta – Day Of The Baphomets Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
small detail it's "raise your entrails as an offer" not "an offering" |
|
| Feist – Mushaboom Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
the situation has definitely been described but there's definitely elements of poverty mentioned But in the meantime I've got it hard Second floor living without a yard this line is talking about how now she lives in an apartment, scraping by and longing for the day when she can get the cash to live the life she's wanted |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Someday You Will Be Loved Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
my god, this song rips someone broke up with me with this song, essentially it's a big blow to the testes it's so blunt and apathetic and the guitar is so punctual at the beginning gawd, it burns ben gibbard, you callous ass why can't you be nice? heh |

| Cursive – Art Is Hard Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
in tons of interviews, kasher is said to be a self-depricating poet meaning he loves to bash the shit out of himself this whole song is about him trying to write such depressing words when really, it's not that realistic, and you end up writing the same set of songs over and over again my favourite cursive song |
