Hozier – Angel of Small Death & the Codeine Scene Lyrics	7 years ago
Honestly, I think this is a song about being a repeat customer with a prostitute. She’s like a drug to him, despite being with everyone else.

The Weepies – Can't Go Back Now Lyrics	17 years ago
This really is quite an amazing song. I'm so glad Steve Tallen got to sing lead. The meaning of the song really doesn't leave room for interpretation, but the message is beautiful and positive. A+!

Elliott Smith – Between the Bars Lyrics	19 years ago
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. There's nothing else this song could be about aside from an alcoholic being serenaded by his drink. It's haunting and scary. God, I wish I wrote this song!

Iron & Wine – The Trapeze Swinger Lyrics	19 years ago
It would seem to me that this song is definitelt an allegory for this man's life. Someone posted something earlier about "comfortable regret." I think that's exactly it. The singer is at peace, and I feel like each verse is to a different person, rather than a girl/lover/etc... The song is his own elegy.
