| Antony and the Johnsons – Hope There's Someone Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song to me isn't about the fear of death, but the fear of dying ALONE. It tells me a story of a person who is dying, who's time is slipping away, who every night fears going to sleep alone as it may be the last time they ever fall asleep and they don't WANT to be alone on their last night. So they are giving themselves up to anybody and everybody, they are having sex with whoever will take them, just in the hope that they will hold them that night as they sleep. | |

| It's all to do with how religion tries to surpress natural instinct for humans. | |
| Alanis Morissette – You Oughta Know Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Read between the lines. Alanis is a very clever woman and brilliant writer, the song isn't just about being fucked around by someone, it's symbolic for deeper meanings. She's sick of being overlooked all the time, and though she tries to overlook and rise above it, she can't help be bitter about it. | |

| It's about using a vibrator. | |
| Siouxsie and the Banshees – Face To Face Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is about Batman and Catwoman. It highlights their story perfectly, atleast the one explored in Batman Returns. SatB worked with Danny Elfman on this, the man who composes the score for all of Burton's films, including Batman Returns. You can hear a cuopla of extracts from his score in this song. | |
| Kate Bush – This Woman's Work Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I always thought this was about the affects a mother's death has on the family she's left behind. "Pray God you can cope. I stand outside this woman's work, This woman's world." This tells me the narrative is basically hoping the family can cope without her. "Ooh, it's hard on the man, Now his part is over." To me, this is referring to the man's part as a husband, this is over now as his wife has gone. This carries on into the line "Now starts the craft of the father." which means that without a mother in the family, the father's role will become more prominent and necessary. "I should be crying, but I just can't let it show. I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking Of all the things I should've said, That I never said. All the things we should've done, That we never did. All the things I should've given, But I didn't." For me, this part is either the deceased mother or someone she has left behind regretting the things she/they missed out on doing with each other. |

| Kate Bush – Running Up That Hill Lyrics | 19 years ago |

I always thought this song was about female orgasm. Before you snigger, let me explain. These lines "It doesn't hurt me. Do you want to feel how it feels? Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?" suggest to me that her partner is scared of hurting her, that she doesn't want sexual pleasure, that it's painful for her, and she's trying to assure him it's not painful and she wants it. Then the lines "And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God, And I'd get him to swap our places," tell me she is basically saying she'd like to swap places with her partner so he know how it is for her so he doesn't have to worry about hurting her or making her uncomfortable. And the lines "C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling, Let's exchange the experience, oh..." prtty much explain themselves. |
