Manchester Orchestra – I Can Feel a Hot One Lyrics 16 years ago
32 min ago

Rated 0 I like this idea of it being a car crash. However, I think this entire song is about a man (singer) contemplating "A HOT ONE" which means, a big problem. That big problem is the fact that his gf/wife is pregnant and he dosnt know how to deal with it.

"I could feel a hot one taking me down
For a moment, I could feel the force
Fainted to the point of tears
And you were holding on to make a point
What's the point?"

-here, he is talking about whenever she tell him she is expecting. " You were holding on to make a point" refering to how maybe she tries to make him look on the bright side of the situation. He odviously dosnt find it important("whats the point?")


"The faces always stay the same
So I face the fact that I'm just fine
I said that I'm just fine"

"the faces always stay the same" refers to how things dont change.the problem is still there no matter how much time it goes by.


"I remember, head down,
After you had found out
Manna is a hell of a drug
And I need a little more, I think
Because enough is never quite enough
What's enough?"

this verse is pretty clear: After she find out she's pregnant, he deals with it by taking drugs, MANY drugs. because nothing is enough to make the problem (the fact that he is going to be a father, go away)


"I took it like a grown man crying on the pavement
Hoping you would show your face
But I haven't heard a thing you've said
In at least a couple hundred days
What'd you say?"

He takes the problem like a grown up, he pretend, infront of her that everything is going to be fine. But in reality he has been so caught up on his own mind about this that he hasnt heard anything she has said in "couple hundred days" (200 days= 6 moths 20 days of her pregnancy)

"I was in the front seat, shaking it out
And I was asking if you felt alright
I never want to hear the truth
I want to hear your voice, it sounded fine
My voice, it sounded fine"

this verse refers to when shes going into labor, and he is driving her to the hospital trying to keep her calmmed even though he is freaking out too.



"I could feel my heartbeat taking me down
And for the moment, I would sleep alright
Invading with a selfish fear
To keep me up another restless night
Another restless night"

I woul b able to sleep now that the moment is almost over.the selfish fear could easy be refering to the fact that he had been wanting her to loose the baby. That fear, has keeped him up many nights.

"The 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"

"the curtains that hung from your neck" refer to those ugly looking robes they give u at the hospital whenever you are a patient. Once he saw her wearing that, he realized that the anticipation was over. Everything he was worried about was over because she was going to give birth.

"And I realized that then you were perfect
And my teeth ripping out of my head
And it looked like a painting I once knew
Back when my thoughts weren't entirely intact"

it was at that moment, that all of his bad thoughts were gone and he was happy again, " back when my thoughts weren't entirely intact" meaning when he wasnt to pre-ocupied being careful about what he thought( wanting her to loose the baby)

"To pray 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"

as he waits at the hospital, he falls asleep and dreams of his daughter!

"and I felt love, Again"

Vanessa Carlton – Hands On Me Lyrics 18 years ago
I think this song is about her falling in love with a boy who does not even know she exits. He is a stranger and she is saying .. If you give me a chance (put your hands on me) I can take you anywhere.. cross the deepest oceans!
I Love her New Cd .. AMAZING

Snow Patrol – You Could Be Happy Lyrics 19 years ago
I don't know if anyone said this already but to me this song is not just about any loved one. It's about a relationship between a father and a daughter. They oviously did not have too good of a relatinship because he was posesive of her in a way that she was still his little girl.
" All the things that I wish I had not said"
He regrets fighting with her and being so tough on her.

"Most of what I remeber makes me sure, I should have stoped you from walking out that door"

He know that they had good moments together as father and daughter and he should have never led her go away from him

"You could be happy, I hope you are. You made me happier that I've been by far"
Its because of her that he is the happiest man alive, because of his amazing daughter.

"Somehow everything I own smells of you,and for the tiniest moment is all not true"

Everything in their house is left with his daughters presence and he begins to think that its not true because he can still feel her presence in the house..and he misses her.

"Do the things that you always wanted too. Without me ther to hold you back don't think just do"

He finally realises that she is a grown girl and that he is not gonna keep on holding her back because he finally realized it.

"More than anything I wanna see you grow. Take a glorious bite of the whole world"

He realises that after all all he want to see is her become the woman that she is..but he wants her to take life seriously and to take advantage of the whole world and experience it.

I don't know this is what I think also because of the little melody that sonds like a lullaby.
