I love this song. It's amazing how catchy the repetition of "If we sleep together would it make it any better" and it's original at the same time.
And I totally agree that the best thing about Mirah is how her innocent voice is mixed with very sexual lyrics. I ADORE that! I adore that about Regina Spektor as well. I find it really relatable because sex can be such a dear sweet thing :) |

I played Mayella Ewell in the stage version of To Kill a Mockingbird a few years ago, and this is SUCH a great character song for her. For those of you that know the play, this song is an eery musical version of the filth her father has filled her head with. I LOVE it. Gets me into character like none other. |

To me, it feels like it's about how you feel when people try to put you in a box or tell you who you are. |

I just saw her live and she sung this. God, it's so brillient! And when she sand the line, "Someone next door's fucking to one of my songs," it was just freaking awesome. I love her! She a great performer, a great lyricist, and a great musician! |

Yeah, I've seen her live too and that's what she said, but I always took it as a double entendre. I mean, "death" is a Shakespearean euphemism for orgasm, but lines like "We both found heaven right then / You just chose not to come back" sound literally. So I thought it meant she died during sex. Like she had such an intense orgasm that it killed her. I don't know. I could be wrong. |

| Feist – My Moon My Man Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|

Oh my God. It is not about anal sex! It's much more poetic than this literal moon=ass stuff some of you are reading into it. The moon is a metaphor for her man. Duh. It says in the very first line, "my moon my man / so changeable and..." The moon has phases, it changes, so does her man. It's about trying to make a relationship work with a guy who's not esactly reliable or steadfast. In the end, she can't handle it, so she leaves. |

Actually, the English version you're talking about (also by Feist) has completely different lyrics than the French. By which I mean, it's the same tune, but not a translation. In fact, "La Même Histoire" means "the same story," not "we're all in the dance." |

The idea is that people are always saying that it's different for girls (we care about love not just sex, want it to be special, etc.) But in reality it is not different for girls. Guys care about love and relationships too. |

To me it's about all the advice that people give you when they don't really necesarily know what's best and you didn't even ask for advice. In the end, you just have to live your life (take what you take, etc) as long as it's real. |

Am I the only one who thinks this song makes her seem like a bit of a bitch? Not necessarily in a bad way, but none the less.
Anyone know why she censor's "cunt" but never "fuck"? |

Wow. I soooo relate to this song. While I was in drama school people would ask me how things were going all the time and even though my life was totally fucked up, I was barely surviving day-to-day and of course as an actress had severe body-image issues I would say "Oh yes I'm fine. Everything's just wonderful. I'm having the time of my life." |

It's definitely about her real brother. She said so on NPR and also said that he hate's the song and was relaly pissed that she put it on the album. I think it's really evident even through the humor though that she loves hima nd is just trying to look out for him.
And I definitely agree that it hints at her being the one who got him started smoking weed, because of the line "I'm feeling guiltier for leading you astray." |

| Jewel – Do You Lyrics
| 18 years ago

I think it definitely focusses on the way people view God in their lives. I love the line "I'll do whatever you want God, just let me have my way." People tend to think they know what's best and don't have faith in devine order.
I also love the line "We shakes our fist and say 'Well, good golly we're mad that God kills children with our very own hands.'" Because even though we tend to believe that we know what's right, when bad things happen, we always blame God. Even when we made a choice that lead us there.
The verse about "The girls to day with nothing to say" is so perfectly written. It may be my very favorite Jewel lyric ever. |

This song is great because it is just a collection of memories with on person and so it sort of reminds all of us of our memories. Just little moments that stuck out. Like the pidgeon thing, you know. And I for one FREAKING LOVE THE LAS VERSE! It's my favorite. Because it catches you off guard, suddenly being really serious. But at the same time, it's all in rhetrospect so she's kind of able to laugh at herself you know. |

Everyone saying it's about Anne Frank and Peter is pissing me off. Anne and Peter did not have sex. She was a kid. This is obviously a song about a loving and very sexual adult relationship. And THERE WAS MORE THN ONE JEWISH GIRL KILLED IN THE HOLOCAUST! It's not about Anne Frank, so please shut the fuck up. |

| The Dresden Dolls – Sex Changes Lyrics

You people are crazy. If it were about how sex changes you, then there wouldn't be all the references to the knife, doctors, and cutting. It's totally about getting a sex change. The play on words is that people do always say that "sex would change you". But literally, the song is about a sex change operation. "What will the neighbors say" etc. everything points at that. Plus the Dresden Dolls are all about blurring the line of gender identity. Check out to Backstaber video for more of that. |

This song is so freaking great! This song seems to be about success, especially in show bussiness and the arts. How it is relative, and doesn't nessessarily mean better art or happiness. I love how she talks to success. THe idea of success being embodied and saying "All you have to do is sleep with me tongiht." is just amazing. This song = awesome |

This song always reminds me of the last time I drove one of my best friends home at the end of the summer just before she left for college in another city. It was just quiet. That kind of quiet that isn't emty at all, it's just quiet, because nothing needs to be said. It was just a long goodbye drive. Looking out the window, drving towards the rest of our lives. |

| Oasis – Wonderwall Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
This song has meant different things to me depending on what was going on in my life at the time. I love the lyrics they are so beautiful.
While I was having trouble getting over a guy the lyrics "I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now" meant so much. Because he was one of those amazing guys that everyone just love. And I was feeling like. Wow, I loe you but not having you hurts so much. And know one knows how I feel about you. And no one can understand the better sweet feelings I have just thinking about you.
Now it makes me think of a different guy who things are just starting up with. "Maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me" makes me think of that amazing optomistic feeling at the beginning of a relationship, when you think, maybe, just maybe, this could be it.
I'm not sure of the intended meaning of this song But it has a lot of really strong lyrical moments, that have meant a lot to me. |

I agree with zacharrisment. Even furthur I think that the narrator has a strong faith, but is sort of thiking about the balence between the glory that the lord has made (this beautiful women, this loving relationship) and complication we could do without (fear, loss, doubt) the things that come up when we think about death and when we have to go on without a person we love. |

| Panic! at the Disco – The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage Lyrics

Okay I just graduated from High School and I reference the "I'm the Narrator and this is just the prologue" line of this song because to me this song is about being young "still so young, desperate for attention" and feeling like you want to shake things up in your life but you need someone to listen. But it's during this time of our lives when we're out there trying to experience everything we can that we realize that things are not always what we imagine them to be (trophy wives, who are ust for show and artists who are not what they seem) this reminds me of all the bad pop music and bad drug experiences that young people go through. |

Okay, I actually never thought it was about her boyfriend being gay. I took straight to mean okay rather than heterosexual. And "they" who don't love you like I love you to be the maps. Because he is a guy who is a drifter an anywhere but here type who has to keep traveling to feel alive. She's saying I know that you have to go and that I'll be okay, but as long as you keep doing this you are never going to find love because your maps can't love you like I love you. |

| Tracy Chapman – Fast Car Lyrics

Wow. I love Tracy Chapman and this is definitely my favorite song of hers. I always felt that this song was about a woman who had big dreams that her life could be a happy one despite her sad upbringing and her fathers' alcoholism. She quit school to take care of hima nd soon they were living on the streets. She falls in love with this man (who has a fast car) and feel like together they can escape. They can move out of the homeless shelter and have a happy life. While, she is able to hold down a job and support them both and her children it turns out that he is not strong enough and he brings her down. She hopes now that his fast car will carrie him far away. |
