The Killers – Romeo and Juliet (Dire Straits cover) Lyrics 18 years ago
just a correction:
it's "kiss you through the bars of orien" not "bars of a rhyme".
orien is a consellation of stars. makes more sense considering that there are a lot of connotations about stars in this song.
:o)

Stars – Going, Going, Gone Lyrics 18 years ago
I think the song almost sounds as though it's a mother singing about her daughter but they are not close.

(Going, Going, Gone) – The daughter’s left home
Still hooked on cellophane, hangin' round the mall and all. – The daughter is still acting like a teenager even though she’s 23 as duly noted later in the song
Each penny numbs the pain, sends you gently for the fall – The daughter is still depending on retail therapy rather than actually dealing with her problems
I followed you last night,
I saw you turn your lights out
I knew it wasnt right, – The daughter is having sex with some guy and perhaps the family is religious and that’s why the daughter left; because she doesn’t agree with their religious views
I watched in fear and doubt – The mum doesn’t want to believe it’s true

It's gotten to be that way – They don’t talk anymore
(Going, Going, Gone)
What did you do today?
(Going, Going, Gone)

Look good in that red dress,
I bet the boyfriend's happy – The retail therapy and the boyfriend thing tying in together but there is a certain disapproving in this line. The ‘look good in that red dress’ implies that the daughter is maybe too skinny and that’s why she is using retail therapy. Anorexia?
Your face is scarred with age, - Anorexia again? Anorexics age faster
You're 23, but how can that be? – Mother can’t believe that her daughter is 23 and still acting ‘innapropriately’
You're still hooked on cellophane, killing time with gin and lime – Acting immature but drinking but mother still not approving
Each second numbs the pain, love's just another rhyme. – The alcohol numbs the pain of whatever is making her turn her back on the family and the pain of the anorexia or problems she is facing
It's gotten to be that way
(Going, Going, Gone)
I'm scared but I'm okay
(Going, Going, Gone)
There's nowhere to move on – The mother can’t turn her back on her daughter because what is she going to move on to? Because she loves her daughter and doesn’t know what else to do though
There's nowhere to move on

All I see, yeah yeah
All I see
All I see, yeah yeah
All I see
All I see, yeah yeah
All I see is me everywhere – The mother is understanding because she used to be the same as her daughter but tried her hardest to make things alright for her daughter but the problems are biological, not psychological
It's me doo doo doo doo doo
doo doo

Just my interpretation

Something Corporate – Only Ashes Lyrics 18 years ago
I think it's about a guy who in his heart knows that it's over with his girlfriend and he even wants it to be over but can't seem to get the courage to leave her. maybe they've been together for so long that he doesn't know what to do without her. and then she breaks it off with him and he's lost but relieved at the same time hence the:
"I can tell as you turn, I smell the sulfur so clear
And fire's a beautiful sound"
he knows it's finally over but the burning of their bridges and the end of their relationship is like a relief to him. a beautiful thing.
it was exactly like that with me and my ex. neither of us wanted to be in the relationship anymore and we both knew how each other felt but we just didnt know how to end it. but once it was over and we went our seperate ways, i was happier than i'd ever been. i think that's what the song is about. especially the:
"Incinerate whats left of this
And torch the part of me that's you"
that's the whole letting go thing.
beautiful song

Lo-Tel – Teenager Of The Year Lyrics 18 years ago
i think its about how the media makes it seems like the most important thing is beauty and being skinny. its kind of having a go at teen magazines like 'dolly' and 'girlfriend' with their competitions about 'being the face if their magazines and how the people who win are always beautiful and this song is saying that the people who win them believe they win the right to judge their peers and everyone around them because they are the most 'beautiful'.

The Killers – This River Is Wild Lyrics 18 years ago
i believe that this song is meant to go with the song 'Sam's Town'.
on one hand in 'sam's town' he is saying that he really wants to leave and even though in 'this river is wild' he still wants to leave and his father or someone is telling him to leave this deadbeat town, he's remembering all of the good things about it and the good times he has had there.
"But you know I could stay here all night and watch the clouds fall from the sky."
he's saying there that although he could stay there forever and that would be easy, he knows he has to leave and follow his dreams.
i lived in Darwin in australia for abt 7 yrs and was in a really fucked up crowd and even though i knew they were bad for me and that i was ruining my life up there, one of the hardest things for me was calling my dad who was living overseas and telling him that i had to get the hell out of there. even now i still get tempted to go back even though i hate that town and have severed all ties with my old crowd, i know how easy it would be to go back to that lifestyle but then i look at the reality that if was ever to return i would go absolutely nowhere in life and i wouldn't be able to live with myself if that happened. i believe that's what this song is about: the whole, knowing that you have to leave and not overly wanting to but knowing that if you are going to be happy, that you really need to.

She Wants Revenge – Out Of Control Lyrics 18 years ago
this song is so seductive.
my fave line is:
'this song is turning me on
the beat is doing me in
or maybe it's only you
but either way lets begin'
HOT.

Brand New – The Archers Bows Have Broken Lyrics 19 years ago
This song is definitely about homosexuality. i dont agree with what the bible says and i have no problem with homosexuality. this song is about how people still frown upon it though and the song is saying how the church doesnt agree with it but by writing it from the church's perspective it makes you take the side of the gay person.
i mean look at it:
who do you carry the torch for my young man?- who do you love?males/females?
do you believe in anything?- catholics from upon homosexuality so they’re saying if you believe in god you will stop being gay.
do you carry it around just to burn things down?- “are you being gay just to hurt and destroy everyone?”

meet me tonight on the turnpike, my darling- the guys lover
'cause we believe in everything,- a go at the church saying that yes they do believe. They believe in love because love is love, between the same sex or opposite sexes
if we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown- everyone is saying they owe them for embarrassing them so the gay lovers are saying that if they get rid of their sins (ie, being gay) they’ll lose themselves, aka drown
so we'll strap ourselves up to this engine now,- they’d rather die than not be who they truly are
with a God that we found laying under the backseat.- they are saying that if god won’t accept them then they’ll find their own god who will

(the parents talking)
what did you learn tonight?- the boy is in trouble because his parents found out and they are making him feel ashamed
shouting so loud you barely see,- he’s angry that they are ashamed of him and they’re scared his anger will make him not see that they are ‘right’
you're this broken thing,- he is ‘wrong’ and has ‘sinned’ so he’s ‘broken’ in the eyes of god
you're a voice that never sings, that's what i say.- he’s got potential to have any girl he wants and he has talent but because he’s gay his parents don’t see him as anything but something to be ashamed of
you were freezing over hell,- god doesn’t approve so he’ll go to hell
you were bringing on the end; you do so well...- he’s already going to hell coz he’s gay
you can only blame yourself, that's what i say...- they think it’s his fault that he’s gay and that he made the choice to be gay

all that you've taught is to ignore the things I was showing- he’s not the only one in the relationship so therefore he is helping someone else to sin so he’s disobeying what god taught
and sweep me under the rug,- ignoring god
you're beating with a book everyone that book tells you to love,-to love the opposite sex because loving the same sex is lust, not love supposedly
there is an ember in the heart of the kiln and its burning hot with love,- only if he turns straight
burning out my center till there's nothing but dust,- destroying his parents because he’s killing their love for him coz they are ashamed of him
rolling me with care into your cigarette,- killing them emotionally
'cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail.- god never advertised and said homosexuality was right

Bright Eyes – Falling Out of Love at This Volume Lyrics 19 years ago
This Song Makes Me So Unbelievably Happy. I Know That By What It's About It Really Shouldn't, But It Just Makes Me Feel So Carefree. It's Just Sort Of Saying 'Yeah Whatever Happens, Happens. Everything Will Be Okay In The End'. Makes Me Feel Soooo Good!

Snow Patrol – Days Without Paracetamol Lyrics 19 years ago
you're right it does say build it up repeated but in the background "tear it down, throw it out" is said really softly
you have to listen really hard for it though
