| Goldfrapp – Koko Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Err, well, yeah... I do hate to think of it as a "drug song", because honestly I don't think it is either. The whole "stabbing" thing gives a sort of air of sharp giddiness, almost. And the song is just quite lovely :D. | |
| Goldfrapp – Deep Honey Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I really wish people would stop going to Goldfrapp songs and saying they're about drugs. I mean, Goldfrapp's songs are very often about pure emotional being and feeling, not particularly about any specific situation really. It does seem to be very much about betrayal or even a sad sort of contemplation on a relationship. | |
| Goldfrapp – Satin Chic Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It is just "teh coolest" song, though :D. I love how it makes seemingly "old fashioned" beats and instruments (i.e. the almost robotic 4/4 and the honky tonk piano) just sooo awesome! Although I think the lyrics are rather self explanatory. Her "man" is some glam star that some people may not understand why she loves, but still manages to turn many peoples' heads ;). | |
| Goldfrapp – Ride A White Horse Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think I have to agree with danslesbois... as much as it seems to be an allegory for drugs, it doesn't really give that air with the music. Mostly just escaping through wild dance at a social scene ("I like dancing/at the disco/I want blisters/You're my leader") | |
| Imogen Heap – Daylight Robbery Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Oh, actually I think I remember in an interview that the song was basically her feelings while she was night bicycle riding in London. | |
| Frou Frou – Maddening Shroud Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This isn't about the singer being suicidal, is it? | |
| Imogen Heap – Daylight Robbery Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It could indeed literally be about a daylight robbery (The "CCTV" part especially points to this), and she's just describing the rush she gets when she's in the middle of it. | |
| Vienna Teng – Unwritten Letter #1 Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song screams unrequited love. | |
| Vienna Teng – Pontchartrain Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Someone's lover who died before their time ("Don't close your eyes")? I suppose Lake Pontchartrain held their memories. It's a very depressing and haunting song, but I love it. | |
| Vienna Teng – Shasta (Carrie's Song) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I belive this song is describing a woman on her way to the abortion clinic, and all the hardship she had to go through: "explanations for a life half-broken away and they just may they'll take you in their arms and then take out their knives... couldn't stand the thought of ghosts with a negative age" and even feelilng guilt thinking she might be opposing God 'Jesus knows what you've been through take the Savior into your heart my child there's love waiting for the both of you' But in the end, she realizes that she wasn't really ready for a child anyway, but someday she will be.

| Vienna Teng – Now Three Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is like, my favorite song of all time. Although from what I can tell, it's pretty simple. It's most likely a mother's love for her infant daughter ("love for one so small"), and this love is greater than the rest of her senses. Perhaps The third one is the mother's lover, or some other abstract idea. | |
| Sufjan Stevens – They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back from the Dead!! Ahhhhh! Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I'm not sure, but I actually thought this song was about ths suburbs or something. I mostly got that idea from the lines: "...Ring the bell and call or write us... ...We see a thousand rooms to rest Helping us taste the bite of death I know, I know my time has passed I'm not so young, I'm not so fast I tremble with the nervous thought Of having been, at last, forgot" Mostly since the suburbs are often seen as a place of stagnation, and sometimes where great minds and activists go to "die" or be forgotten, and comparing them to zombies (no offense, I actually live in a suburb myself :D ). But then again, I see the stuff about ghost towns, so I'm not sure. |
