| Pink – I Got Money Now Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| @mr_k108598 I was a very moody and dramatic 14-year-old. I'm doing much better now at 29 (although I still don't have much money, ha) and I definitely don't hate myself or worry about being "liked" anywhere near as much as I did then. I think self-confidence comes with age, but I wish I wouldn't have wasted so much time dwelling on this stuff when I was a teenager. I've also finally started seeking treatment for my depression, anxiety, and ADHD, which I should have done sooner. I really wish I could delete my old comments, but thanks for your interest regardless. | |

| Oops--didn't see the comment before mine. Guess I'm 5 years late, haha. Just take this comment as me seconding what they said. | |
| Brand New – Missing You Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| Guys, instead of "shoal" it should be "Sheol", which is a biblical name for an underworld-like afterlife. It sounds way more accurate than "shoal" (or anything else anyone has suggested), and it makes sense with the rest of the lyrics. I've spent several years not realizing this, until a Christian family member finally pointed it out to me today. | |
| Manchester Orchestra – Cope Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Regarding the "cope" line, I take it mean something more about using faith as ignorance. In the previous line ("If I do let go, I hope you never see / there is no one there that's waiting after me"), he expresses the hope that when he dies, the person he cares about can hold onto the idea that he's being looked after in heaven, instead of considering the possibility that there's no afterlife. In the line "I hope if there is one thing I let go, it is the way that we cope", I think he's furthering those feelings to say that he wishes he could forget/leave alone/"let go" the way that people deal with loss by telling themselves their loved ones are in a better place even if they don't really believe it. (This is just my reading of Andy's words, and maybe not what he meant by them at all.) | |

| Phox – Noble Heart Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| i'd be happy to accept corrections on these lyrics, since this is just what i hear. i've also been working on figuring out some other phox songs (mctaggey did a great job on a few of the songs from 'friendship'), so if anyone wants to lend an extra pair of ears, feel free to message me or something. that'd be great. | |

| Manchester Orchestra – I Can Feel a Hot One Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
okay, so here's the breakdown, in Andy's words. taken from this article: http://farbeyond.ca/footnotes/orchestra_part3.htm "I wrote this song during a 5-minute window we had from touring. We had just finished our dates with Brand New and Say Anything and were about to go on the road with mewithoutYou. I was at my parents place in West Palm Beach, Florida and just took my guitar with me. '...Virgin' had been done for about a year and I wanted to start writing something. Here is what 'I Can Feel a Hot One' is about." I could feel a hot one taking me down For a moment I could feel the force Veiny to the point of tears And you were holding on to make a point What's the point? "In essence this song starts out with a panic attack, that's the hot one that's taking me down. I'm straining with my muscles and clinching tight, which is why I say "Veiny to the point of tears." Coming off the road and holding on to the idea of the band, to the idea of touring, was enough to give me a little push over the edge. But then I ask, really, what's the point?" I am but a clean man, stable and alone man Make it so I won't have to try The faces always stay the same So I'll face the fact that I’m just fine I said that I'm just fine "Then I talk about how, even though I had just come off the road, I never dabbled in all those harmful vices that so many people succumb to when they tour. I was clean, I was stable and I was alone. The next line I'm referring to my voice. It's not always easy to sing these songs night after night and I'm worried about how I sound. Here, I'm just asking God for the muscle memory "so I won’t have to try". And, as with life on the road, I'm in different cities each night, but it seems like the faces always stay the same, so I guess that I'll be okay." I remember head down after you had found out Manna is a hell of a drug I need a little more I think Because enough is never quite enough What's enough? "It's tough sometimes as a human being to know when you have enough because we always want more. In the Old Testament the Jewish people would receive what they needed from God and it was often explained in the form of the fruit, Manna. Sometimes though, when you ask for it, it's more than you bargained for. See, God told them to take just as much as they needed and nothing more. Any excess they took would rot by the morning, so there was no point in over doing it. That left the people wondering, 'how much do I really need'? I always thought I wanted it all. This was really spawned from the Pedro the Lion song, 'Simple Economics', with the line "Power can be such a tease, you’re always wanting more. It's good to know that just like sex, it can be paid for."" I took it like a grown man, crying on the pavement Hoping you would show your face Well I haven’t heard a thing you've said In at least a couple hundred days What'd you say? "I'm talking to God here, just asking for Him to show himself to me. Clearly the allure of the Manna had thrown me and I hadn’t been close enough to God to hear Him in a while." I was in the front seat shakin' it out And I was asking if you felt alright And I never want to hear the truth I want to hear your voice is sounding fine My voice is sounding fine. "This is a conversation between Chris and I, where I am asking him if he felt alright. Truth be told, I didn't really care whether or not he did, I was asking because I wanted him to tell me that everything would be okay with me. And more specifically, with my voice. A misconception about this lyric is that it actually reads like — I want to hear "your voice is sounding fine" — like I want Chris to tell me my voice is sounding fine, not that I'm interested in someone else doing okay." I could feel my heart beat taking me down And for the moment I would sleep alright Veiny with a selfish fear To keep me up another restless night Another restless night "Being on the road is a gnarly trip and sometimes after like 12 hours of straight driving, you start losing it. Here is the beginning of me losing it. Just pulling my blanket over my head and crying and crying and eventually crying myself to sleep. That's when the dream starts…" Your blood was dry it was sober The feeling of audible cracks And I could tell it was over From the curtains that hung from your neck "In this dream, I'm driving Amy, my soon to be wife, back to her parents house in Birmingham, Alabama. We get side swiped by this tractor-trailer and the wreckage is where this verse starts. As she's lying there, I can tell that she's not going to make it and that this was the end." And I realized it then, you were perfect With my teeth ripping out of my head And it looked like a painting I once knew Back when my thoughts were not tire leak intact "Sometimes it's too late to realize things you should have earlier, and at this moment, I'm looking at Amy and realizing that she is perfect as I'm amongst this disaster that is being played out on the road. I realized right then that all the things I was worried about didn't matter." So I prayed for what I thought were angels Ended up being ambulances And the Lord showed me dreams of my daughter She was crying inside your stomach "With one last ditch effort I pray to the Lord to save her, but it's too late and the ambulances have come to take her away. But the Lord gives me a glimmer of hope by showing that our baby is inside of her. And although I am going to lose Amy, we will always have something together in the form of our daughter. At that moment that best thing I could say was…" And I felt love again. |

| Paramore – Misguided Ghosts Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
"misguided ghosts is about how i realized i didn't know anything. how the path was being illuminated as i walked along... there was never any knowing how it was going to end and it took me til i wrote that song to accept it. it also touches on the fact that while there are people who look up to me, i'm just as lost as they are." from a comment of hayley's on livejournal. |

| Right Away, Great Captain! – I Am a Vampire Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
i noticed it says in the album: "verse lyrics on 'i am a vampire' were found by sandy mcleod in toronto, ontario" that's sort of interesting, don't you think? i would be creeped out if i was sandy mcleod. but it was quite the idea to turn them into a song. |

| Envy on the Coast – The Devil's Tongue Lyrics | 14 years ago |

| Envy on the Coast – Spinal Cords Lyrics | 14 years ago |

it's "Blood was spilt before the bell was struck" and "The gypsies told me that my cards sing like a..." and "Shameful woman, you bare your flower Keep me humble, keep my mouth shut Abuse and devour" |
|
| Envy on the Coast – Numb Lyrics | 14 years ago |

| Envy on the Coast – Just South Of Heaven Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
yeah, it's "Let me see your worms Let them slither from your core" it's in the lyric zine. |
|
| Envy on the Coast – Death March On Two, Ready? Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
it's actually "I could be your fist 'cause..." and "show me open arms and cavalry in my way" and "raise it under gallows, 'cause if there's a price, they'll pay" that's what it says in the lyric zine. |
|
| Envy on the Coast – Clergy Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
i have the lyric zine, so it should be this: "Half an inch away Speak before the sweat is even noticed Such a bitter taste Recite the words I just can't comprehend Ink the scriptures to my feet The bruising swells in apathy Sit so still with skeptic limbs Penetrate these veins to fill this vile with naivety Sip and have a taste of my disease And they're dragging you Sacrament has stained My appetite for ceremony crisis A narrow taste for faith Dependent on the staleness that has formed you Stitch the sins to my gums and teeth A midnight mass of surgery Speak so soft with hectic grins Face of veil that separates Where guilt will die and is born again Open aisle awaits for my two knees" and you've obviously got the rest right. :] |
|
| Envy on the Coast – Clean of You Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
i have the lyric zine, so the first part should be this: "I love it, just love it Oh, what a pretty picture Now let's chop off the corners and Swap out the colors Keep 'em coming, keep 'em coming Keep 'em shorter my brother And shit me out another One more about your lover" also, it's "the farthest thing from artists", not "honest". and masonwilliamhatchman has it right, it's "when in need of healing", not "a feeling". nice job otherwise. :] |

| Envy on the Coast – Bad News Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
official(ish) lyrics (these come from the lyric zine, but i arranged them how it made sense and added words where i heard them): Bad news, he's here for you Rolled up his sleeves and everything He'll love you til your body feels brand new And love is good for you, until it dies But you'll still sing and fuck 'Cause his hook is in your mouth and he's got you He's got you, he's got you Oh, he's got you I'm bad news... the things I'd do You let me in and I swear I'll prove to you The medicine just won't go down Swallow again and again and again Again Bad news, he's here for you Wraps his breath around your spine Clean like a born-again But nothing's ever new You know the truth I call it pretty music But my father keeps on calling it the blues Oh Calling it the blues, he's calling it the blues I'm bad news... the things I'd do Let me in and I swear I'll prove to you The medicine just won't go down Swallow again and again and again And again, and again, and again Bad news I'm bad news I'm bad news, I'm bad news Well I call it pretty music But my father keeps on calling it the blues |

| Paramore – Misguided Ghosts Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard. as for the meaning, I think this is necessary, even though it doesn't entirely feel right typing it up: Hayley: "I feel like this song explains so much of how I feel at the most random times. Finally a song that puts it all into words. Life is hard and I find it very dizzying to try and navigate. Every once in a while it's just a bit much. Then I have to wonder who's out there that feels just like me. If we were all put in separate categories who would I be thrown in the box with? Sometimes I wonder why anyone in their right OR wrong mind would need to know me, want to be like me or even care. Cause I'm the one that knows how confused I really am. Then there's the You vs. Me thing where I truly believe it's me and just a couple of others that "really know what it's like" and we're just on guard constantly. This whole page is just a mess of bullshit but at least I get it!" |

alright, since there's 11 pages, i'm just going to ask. does anybody know what adam's saying during this part?: "Is this what you call tact? I swear you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back So let's end this call, and end this conversation There's nothing worse..." |

| Eatmewhileimhot! – IBeatGirlsAt...Sports Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I already posted this over on the Mister Owl page, but I think this: "She's waiting for _____" is either: "She's waiting beneath me" or "She's waiting, but not for me" I'm leaning toward the first one. But they could both be off. And I posted a link over there to a YouTube video that leads me to think it's: "Then burn the bridge down" But who knows. |
|
| Manchester Orchestra – Everything to Nothing Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I thought it was: "we'll meet with Him eventually" Which would give it a much different meaning than what sacredheartofthescene said. But I might be wrong. Anybody know what the lyric booklet says? |

These lines: "She's waiting for _____" Either sound like "She's waiting, but not for me" or "She's waiting beneath me" |

| Taking Back Sunday – Where My Mouth Is Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I agree that this is really straightforward and honest for Adam. This song and Everything Must Go both seem so personal... I think Adam's growing in a different way as a songwriter. It might also be that this is the first Taking Back Sunday album I've bought when it was current, so it's like getting to see who Adam is as a person right now, which is different for me. I can at least appreciate the album for that, until I grow to love it. As far as the meaning, I think looking at it in the Adam's career perspective is interesting. Where his "second life" is the musician's life. I guess from the first time I heard the song I thought "I threw it away just to prove that I could" was talking about giving up a normal family life for becoming a musician. I love the line "I got a strong will, just weak hands, and I don't know what to do with either one of them". It also feels to me like that line connects to the musician thing, but I'm not sure how to explain it. |
|
| Paramore – 7 Years in the Making Lyrics | 15 years ago |

they should definitely record this song if they didn't already. it makes me cry. although the 7 and 20 wouldn't be accurate anymore. but we'd still appreciate it. i know i saw this on LiveJournal too but i can't remember... is this supposed to be on the album? |
|
| Taking Back Sunday – Timberwolves at New Jersey Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I always thought it was "(justified)" instead of "(you're still gone)"... because in the lyric booklet it says: "In the end it's always the same (starts with a "j" and ends with a "ustified")" Makes sense, yes? |
|
| Josiah Leming – Over and Over Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| He recently put it back up on the myspace, with some new instrument stuff. Just to let you know. He put spaces and capitalization in the title too, haha. I guess we're not getting the title as "overandoverandoverandoverandoverandover..." like we hoped for. :] | |

| Julia Nunes – Welcome Vacation [Album Version] Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
this song's lyrics are completely beautiful and haunting... i'm in awe of Julia for it. i'm going to take a shot at some of the lines. if there are others you don't understand, maybe i could help with those too. the only ones i don't fully understand are "I'm not coming out of this box / 'Til everyone's forgotten me / This ought to be a welcome vacation / ... / My thoughts will be secluded elations". i mean, i understand the lines themselves but don't get how they fit into the meaning of the song. here i go: Well it's close to home by blood or block -- blood = "close to home", as in, close to your heart, ie blood. block = "close to home", as in, literally near where you live. "it" being death. I hate the bed and I hate the dock -- this is a guess, but maybe it's 2 ways of dying... bed = peacefully, dock = tragic accident ie drowning... This loss of life is killing me Affecting unexpectedly -- kind of an irony / play on words. it's neat. But what's one more? Yeah, let me go Let me suffer nice and slow -- "one more" dead I'll take ignorance over being so scared -- i'd rather ignore that death has to come than worry about when it's coming. |

A little bit closer, I think: ----------------------------- Get out The house is on fire _____ lit the fire While your eyes were dead in stare Your name is on the air Drop me down And if you never wanted to love Then burn the ____ down I'll breathe the ashes in, scream the words out And if you never wanted to die Then take the leap now Just close your eyes I'll let you down slow Beneath the water Is where I'm afraid She's waiting For anything She's waiting for ____ Beneath the water Is where I'm afraid She's waiting For anything She's waiting for _____ Beneath the water Is where she sleeps (Oh lord bless this thy hand grenade that with it thou may blow thy enemies to tiny bits in thy mercy) |
