| Sia – Breathe Me Lyrics | 19 years ago |

This song seems to have such an emotional effect on everyone... that's why it's so great. The last episode of six feet under... I was depressed for a week after I watched it. This song is obviously about anything self-destructive. Needing someone. |

| The Shins – New Slang Lyrics | 19 years ago |

"New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries. Hope it's right when you die, old and bony. " Someone noticing something in their life is wrong. Constant attempts to change what's wrong. Someone saying a sort of good luck with trying to fix it. |

I keep relating songs to self-destructing, drug addiction, alcoholism, or eating disorders. But this one really, really, really feels like it. "Hold on, don't go, do those awful things, in your head 'cause it's not you I know your body cracked exactly how you had planned but it's not you, tell me it's not you" That whole thing could perfectly describe Anorexia. A girl who had plotted all along to ruin her body in these ways... so eventually her body broke down. And that It's not really her (or well, the good side of her). |

I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS! okay. so here- "We saw you from the urchin's side from under the boat We saw you making knots we saw you get the rope The boy appearing on the deck and making it lurch And the bubble of your interest ready to burst He whistles and he runs" This part displays a girl very simply doing something destructive towards herself and a boy she knows is worried. "We saw you in distraction a sleeping, slow dispair Rehearsing interaction he wasn't even there A creature is a creature though you wish you were the wind The boat will not stop moving if you tie him up until the end" That whole paragraph basically explains how the girl doesn't want the boy to worry and no matter if the boy is there or not, she will still do what ever self destructive thing she was doing. "He whistles and he runs so hold him fast He might succumb to what you haven't seen He has a keen eye for what you used to be" I think this means that the boy is going to go tell someone that the girl is doing this to herself... and the last line is stating that he knows what she was like before. he knows that she was better than this or something along those lines. the last paragraph i have no idea. honestly, this is one of the most cryptic songs i've ever seen. |

I agree with a lot of the romantic relationship struggles that some of you thought it was... but only within the versus. The chorus sounds to me like a girl (or boy) who is self-destructing in some way and finds it comforting, soothing. "Half empty or half full" being whether or not she likes this dangerous way of living or dislikes it. And "it slowly rises you're love is going to drown" meaning it doesn't really matter whether she likes it or dislikes it because while she's trying to figure out how she feels about what she is doing to herself she ends up losing herself within its grasp anyway. That's my opinion. I could be totally off. |
