| The New Pornographers – Adventures in Solitude Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
You shouldn't take it too literal at times. This song is be derived from the title - Adventures in Solitude. It's about being alone, getting some space for yourself. Because of the "adventure" in the title, the "wars" described aren't literally wars but metaphors for the turmoil and hard times that may have 'caused the loneliness or need of space. It's amazingly nice change of pace from the usual non-sensical New Pornographers writing style. I know they could be political at times, but this song isn't political. |

| Great lyrics, almost a departure from the usual because it's clear and cohesive. | |
| Clap Your Hands Say Yeah – Over and Over Again (Lost and Found) Lyrics | 19 years ago |

I disagree about the capitalized "R" in the Revolution - either it's double meaning, a play on words, but i think it directs people's thinking away from the relationship theme in the song. If it's just a regular revolution, then it coincides with the title of the song - over and over again, like a revolution. If it applies to relationships, relationships usually are cycles and go up and down. A revolution that didn't happen, means the relationship has stopped it's cycles. A lot of the lyrics deal with confidence. The speaker is questioning and doubtful. His success makes him doubt himself, and the fire of the relationship is now dying. It's just much more relatable when this great song is about relationships. |
