| The Velvet Teen – Caspian Can Wait Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I've thought and thought about the name Caspian, and I don't know why they picked it. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the sea or Prince Caspian from The Chronicles of Narnia. That said, my interpretion is this: it's about love. People are afraid of hurting themselves by getting too close to other people ("killing himself by looking closer"), so they build up fortresses (castles) and go around acting like tyrants because they're locking their emotions away in self-defense. But Love (in the form of Caspian, the love veteran?) breaks all fortresses and heals/remakes the world that is trying so hard to ward Love off. Sometimes I like to just listen to the Velvet Teen without thinking too hard about what they're singing. |

| Tori Amos – Mother Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think this song is about a girl who was raised in a less than affluent family. Her mother has been telling her all her life that she should marry a rich man, so that's what she does. But she feels like the society she's about to marry into is fake. She's afraid of not only "dancing" in the high life, but liking it. So she tells her mother to leave a light on so she can remember where she came from (her roots and desires) and not get carried away with her mother's dream. Kind of sounds like a sophisticated "Jenny from the Block" |
