| "...a song about a guy who kills himself, and is stuck to the house, and has to watch his wife, uh, move on without him." --Ben Cooper, during this performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy4AY5OJZVc&feature=youtu.be | |

| O+S – Lonely Ghosts Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
From an interview with Orenda -- "For example, after my mother had a stroke, she told me that she was seeing dead people at roadside crosses. It was an intense conversation that made me think. So I started playing with the line of "lonely ghosts and roadside crosses," and it become a song of mine called "Lonely Ghosts": "Like lonely ghosts at a roadside cross/We stay because we don't know where else to go." I built the song around that phrase, and it ended up being a love song about two people who can't leave each other because they don't know anything else. So that's an example of taking a story someone told me, and making it into a song." |

agreed with kateejo17, and also: *SWALLOW these words from your mouth *YOU HURT BUT WHAT YOU hurt is the same and during the "There's still a part of me dying," it sounds like one is singing "me" and the other is singing "you" |

| Massive Attack – Redlight Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It's hard to decipher the lyrics from the live versions on YouTube, but I hear the following phrases: - When did all those pyramids of promises come down? - Countless whispered eulogies - Poppy fields - Sideways - Dividends - Lost in empty city ??? - Be careful with that smile - Tearing pages from the ??? on the ??? - ??? corners abandoned ??? - Reaching for a prettier sh??? who's gone |

| Kate Havnevik – Nowhere Warm Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| So many negative interpretations! This song always sounded hopeful and positive to me. He's on the way, he's coming soon... maybe he was on a trip, or they just met and she's waiting for him to come see her for a date or something. | |
| Mandalay – Insensible Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I picture her sitting alone in her room for days after the breakup ("it's like I hardly see the sky some days")... they shared so much, but yet it feels like a dream, or like it never even happened at all ("It's like you hardly said a word"). My favorite Mandalay song, and one of my favorite songs ever. | |

| Arcade Fire – Keep the Car Running Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Maybe it's really just about Win's recurring nightmare where men take him away, and he realized, hey, this is all very metaphoric... and he just wrote a song about it that doesn't have any SPECIFIC meaning... | |
| Goldfrapp – Cologne Cerrone Houdini Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The standout track “Cologne Cerrone Houdini” features a wonderful Shirley Bassey quality. It's interesting to note that this track marks yet another reference to French disco legend Cerrone (Supernature is also the name of a classic Cerrone album), but Goldfrapp's explanation of the title is more of a random coincidence than another tribute. “We were jamming, and the word ‘Cerrone’ just came out of my mouth,” she says. “Subconsciously, maybe I was thinking of Cerrone, but it wasn't something in the front and center of my mind. The ‘Houdini’ part came because I was reading a book about him and the whole idea of escapism. I used this as a metaphoric idea about an ex-boyfriend who tried to escape from as many situations as possible.” --http://remixmag.com/artists/electronic/remix_countryside_manner/ |

| Goldfrapp – A&E Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"they gotta watch you still" sounds more like "think i want you still" and i think it's "all i wanted was you to take me out" |
|
| Delerium – Inner Sanctum Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
not far out there at all... but "so swim into essential, you've swam a thousand voids" sounds more like she's trying to find what's right for her (essential) instead of repeating the same mistakes again (a thousand voids) |
|
| Arcade Fire – Ocean of Noise Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| possibly about an American going overseas to fight... that person and that person's significant other are separated by an ocean (of violence)... and the fighter can't seem to justify his or her reasons for leaving to the other person... hopefully one day they'll be reunited ("I'm gonna work it out for you") but for now, they are stuck... | |
| Röyksopp – What Else Is There? Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
also, another possibility- she's trying to reach out to someone who has abandoned her. The car accident theme OR the reaching-out theme could both explain whatever is going on in the video. Watch it. It's on youtube, really interesting too... |
|
| Röyksopp – What Else Is There? Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I can see how this might be about a car accident, but instead of her being killed by the accident, it seems like it was her car that killed someone. *she* is the sudden explosion and the nightmare, and - not to be too gory but - she cuts and spears. Even if this is about something so horrible, this might be one of the most amazing songs I've heard... ever. | |
| Sarah McLachlan – Mary Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Mary = Mother Earth http://fumblers.ca/faq/#Mary not necessarily fact, but it makes sense... especially the "and hope that you won't take too much, respecting what is left" and "she could not understand that no one seemed to have the time to cherish what was given" parts. |

| Wild Strawberries,The – Trampoline Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
trampoline = where one jumps up and down. perhaps a song about moodswings, going between lots of ups and downs that are uncontrollable and happen for no reason, and that cannot be resolved with words ("please don't give me your reasons, i'll never need them when i'm on my trampoline...") also maybe a bit of ego? "i can shoot an arrow through anything" = i can destroy anything, i can find a reason to justify everything i do... |

oh and... *doing everything by halves |
|
| Imogen Heap – Loose Ends Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
the relationship seems to have failed. also, i think the lyrics are *where loose ends still have uses *comparing photos, then and now, now and then *just wondering where it all went wrong |

| Delerium – Just a Dream Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song features the angelic voice of Margaret Far and is my favorite Delerium song to date. It seems simple at first: walking along the beach and thinking about that special someone. Yet I'm tempted to believe it has a much deeper, sadder meaning... perhaps the person she's singing about is no longer with us? Or maybe it's a metaphor for lost dreams... whatever the case, it's beautiful. | |
| Delerium – Nature's Kingdom Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Kirsty Hawkshaw and Kristy Thirsk are two different people - both have collaborated with Delerium. www.kristythirsk.com and www.kirstyhawkshaw.co.uk. Anyway, i read something from Kirsty stating that this song was written using magnetic refrigerator poetry and inspired by her friend's experience at Burning Man. | |
