Joanna Newsom – Only Skin Lyrics 18 years ago
scrape your knee; it is only skin
makes the sound of violins
when you cut my hair, and leave the birds the trimmings
I am the happiest woman among all women

and the shallow
water
stretches as far as I can see
knee-deep, trudging along
a seagull weeps; "so long"

I'm humming a threshing song
until the night is over
hold on!
hold on!
hold your horses back from the fickle dawn

I have got some business out at the edge of town
candy weighing both of my pockets down
'til I can hardly stay afloat, from the weight of them
(and knowing how the common-folk condemn
what it is I do, to you, to keep you warm
being a woman, being a woman)

but always up the mountainside you're clambering
groping blindly, hungry for anything:
picking through your pocket linings - well, what is this?
scrap of sassafras, eh Sisyphus?

I see the blossoms broke and wet after the rain
little sister, he will be back again
I have washed a thousand spiders down the drain
spiders ghosts hang soaked and dangelin'
silently from all the blooming cherry trees
in tiny nooses, safe from everyone
- nothing but a nuisance; gone now, dead and done
be a woman, be a woman!

^^
That is my favourite part of the song, if I had to choose. Even though it's kind of hard ;)

i can only say what this song means to me. To me, it's about my eating disorder. I'd bleed myself dry for it

Thursday – Ný Batterí Lyrics 18 years ago
okay people.
Sigur Rós wrote this song, Thursday covered it.
And yes Sigur Rós has made many songs in their own invented language 'hopelandic', but this is icelandic.
Sorry but the singer of this band can't sing this song very well, and his pronounciation is very off..

Joanna Newsom – En Gallop Lyrics 18 years ago
In Danish 'En Gallop' simply means a gallop. A gallop was a style of music that was very popular in the 1800s (:

Silverchair – Ana's Song (Open Fire) Lyrics 19 years ago
Ana is short for anorexia.
People with anorexia often refer to themselves as "ana"
"You make the sound of laughter and sharpened nails seem softer" means that having anorexia, makes everything easier. "I need you now somehow" " even though he knows that ana will kill him he still needs it. It's his way of coping with things. So the song is about anorexia (:
