| MGMT – Pieces of What Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Seems to me that the singer's going through a rough time, and is waiting to 'pick up the pieces' after he's gotten through, then questions what the point is... 'pieces of what?' maybe there wasn't much there in the first place, so there won't be much to piece back together... And the end with the military terms... anti tank, anti ship, blockades... he wants to keep everyone out... pushes everyone away. He's waiting for his 'meal' behind the blockades because he doesn't feel he has the strength to venture out and piece himself back together... The cool thing about music and lyrics is that they are soooo subjective. |

| The Rolling Stones – Play With Fire Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Her mother was a goldigger so her father got rid of her and took everything away from her. She's just like her mother and the singer of the song is warning her that he's not going to be taken for a fool, except the way it's sung kinda makes me think he'd do more to her than take away her money if she messes with him. | |

I think it's about taking a ton of abuse all the time -"these clouds are so familiar" But being able to get through it everytime -"I will remain an honest soldier" |

| Radiohead – Fog Lyrics | 19 years ago |

It's really, really hard to say what any of Radioheads songs are about for sure (some of the earlier ones aside). The only thing I can say for sure is what it means to me. To me this song is about (like others have said) someone's past haunting them. Some event that may not have seemed so bad at the time grows up (the alligators in the sewer) and twists someone's life out of shape (the person "goes bad"). The version I've been listening to with heavy bass and some weird beat in the background doesn't sound melancholy at first but after another listen it's clearly a mix of sadness and something else... kinda acceptance. Damn I'm so deep. I can definately relate if that's what it is supposed to mean. |

| Iron & Wine – The Trapeze Swinger Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Just to add... I can identify with this song. I used to be good friends with a girl who I ended up having feelings for. She didn't feel the same way and we went our seperate ways, but I'm always afraid she never thinks of me and that we'll never see each other again. "Please remember me". | |

A lot of you seem to think the narrator in this song is dying or dead but I disagree. "On the wall behind St. Peter's" He's talking about a church... What is supposed to belong to St. Peter otherwise? I truly think he's talking about graffiti behind a church called "st. Peter's." "So bright with cinder gray and spray paint" Actual griffiti on a wall. To me this song is about this girl that he was good friends with when he was young and who he grew to love but who he thinks he will never see again. To me "the trapeze act was wonderful but never meant to last" was her telling him that the relationship wouldn't go any further. He's upset and just doesn't want her to forget him. It's kind of a goodbye forever, but maybe "we'll meet again" when we die. I dunno. That's just my take. |
