Bowerbirds – The Ticonderoga Lyrics 16 years ago
I pulled him in. I wanted him. Even though his drinking was starting to get in the way of my happiness, I still tried to look past it.

The drinking didn't stop, and by this time, he wanted me too. I was the one holding him up, but I growing weary of him. I wanted him to let go of me now. How could I stay with him when I was getting nothing positive back in return? It wasn't worth my time trying to control his drinking.

This is his last chance. If he gets drunk again, I'm gone for good.

Brendan Canning – Churches Under the Stairs Lyrics 17 years ago
I think the song is about love between humanity, not two individuals.
We let religion tear us apart, and yet, we don't actually listen to the messages religion teaches us about love when we go to war and support bigotry ("does it feel like somethings missing?")


Beneath the stairs is used to refer the servants/slaves that lived in people's basements or skeletons-in-your-closet secrets.

Sigur Rós – Glósóli Lyrics 17 years ago
When I look at the lyrics, it reminds me of someone waiting in a hospital room for someone to recover.
Then, it seems like whoever is waiting wakes up one day thinking they're ready to go, but the other person is dead (or maybe just in a coma). The Sun awakening is just the person's soul reaching the person waiting.

When I watched the video, I was certain that last boy fell off the cliff. It seemed like those other children were only part of a dream. They arrived there when he was sleeping and left when he woke. He tried to keep up with his dream but it left him, yet it still managed to float on without him. Your dreams never die I guess.. ?

Which reminds of that one boy who recently died that hoped everyone could one day be fed. Even though he's gone, his soul and dreams are still carried on by others, which kind of goes back to what I first said.

Feist – Past in Present Lyrics 17 years ago
this song reminds me more of safety bricks by kevin drew than 7/4 shoreline or BoS

Do Make Say Think – In Mind Lyrics 17 years ago
I think the song could have two views. One would be when you're alive, you should appreciate the people who love you because you won't be with them forever. If there is a heaven we all go to, then I think the song could be saying that you shouldn't be afraid to die because you'll find a greater life on the other side. But the way the song sounds doesn't really fit this meaning, for me. It gives me the sense that you've moved on from a life you loved, but didn't want to leave because you were comfortable with it. And now that you're moving on, you realize how good life is.

Sigur Rós – Gong Lyrics 18 years ago
some of it i hear
but the line before "you shine for love"
i hear "youre not alone" or "youre not at all"
and your "you shine for love/you love.../your heart"
i hear
your shine follows, he realizes, (something that doesnt sound like "your heart")

and then he'll know not who knows

^^
it makes me feel that the song is about hurting and/or leaving someone that loved you
and they just watch you as you leave "his eyes follow your eyes"

maybe?

Sigur Rós – Untitled 4 Lyrics 19 years ago
the song is sung in a made-up language, its kind of like scat.

but the whole purpose of it was for people to come up with their own lyrics and meanings. If you buy the cd, all the pages in the booklet are empty, so you can write your lyrics

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps Lyrics 19 years ago
Her boyfriend is about to leave her(pack up)
Theres some decision she cant decide on, shes lost and needs time(im a stray)
But she doesnt think the decision should matter (enough)
and hopes he'll realize that he shouldnt leave because she loves him too much to see him go (oh say youll wait. they dont love you like i love you)

Maps is probably referring to the decisions he can make, like when youre talking about the different roads in your life

Chiodos – There's No Penguins In Alaska Lyrics 19 years ago
it sounds like he either killed her or raped her

my love was my decay,
-he had an obsessive love with this person..
which eventually lead him to doing something bad to her

Finding oneself in such murderous shame,
-of what he did

Playing roulette with a flower,
Mislead devotion into seclusion.
-obsessive love caused him to do whatever
which lead to his seclusion
(either because shes dead or she left
