Death Cab for Cutie – Bixby Canyon Bridge Lyrics 17 years ago
i live about half an hour down the coast from big sur (its on fire right now, eeps!), and bixby canyon bridge is perhaps the best part of the drive. in the song, gibbard is just trying to get the same inspiration out of it that keroac did, but eventually can't see things the same way.
or something.
i don't know.
i love big sur. i love this song.

Tegan and Sara – Like O, Like H Lyrics 18 years ago
it really bothers me when people assume any description of teenage depression leads back to self ingury.i believe this song is describing thepains of growing up. psysical growing pains paralleling the inner pangs of not being able to open up to her mother. i don't quite understand the Like O, like H, in your gut, but it still makes a lovely, haunting chorus.

Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová – When Your Mind's Made Up Lyrics 18 years ago
im not too sure what it means...
but i think its something like a guy really wants to help this girl (or i dont know, gender isnt specified) but the girl just wants to hide away from all her problems and not accept any help from anyone.

Ben Lee – Ache For You Lyrics 18 years ago
this song just gives me shivers.
it feels like its building up to something big the entire time, like its going to end with a giant orchesta playing. i dont know if he intentionally made it that way, so it could mirror the whole dilema with wanting this person, and what could result.
(like he says in this verse--

"of so much wanting
and what if -
dont even think it
but why not?")

i just love this song.

Gary Jules – The Devil Keeps Grinnin' Lyrics 19 years ago
these lyrics are really off.
heres the real ones if you want.
i got them off of gary jule's myspace, so im pretty confident in their reliability.


Ooh ooh it's a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning spinning
Devil keeps grinning grinning
Thinking about a war he's winning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star
Every star is a sun
Every son is in the shadow of the father now

Ooh ooh it's a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning spinning
Devil keeps grinning grinning
Thinking about a war he's winning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star

Sisyphus I feel you boy
Roll roll rolling that rock all day
No one lends a hand along the way
They just smile and say
"See you soon, see you soon, see you soon
See you when the war is over
See you when this gravity stops pulling me around
When I get my feet up off the ground
Finally lay this burden down
I'll come running"

Ooh ooh it's a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning spinning
Devil keeps grinning grinning
Thinking about all my sinning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star
Every star is a sun
Every son is in the shadow of the father now

But you oh you
Never be lonely
Never blue
Ooh never be lonely
Never blue

There's poetry in sickness
Life is beautiful and cruel
That's just the way it is
And I can sleep but I can't rest
They say the old songs are the best
And I am still a young man

Ooh ooh it's a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning spinning
Devil keeps grinning grinning
Thinking about a war he's winning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star
Everybody is a star . . . look it up.






everything in this song is pretty much straightfoward in its meaning, except i think, the part about Sisyphus. if your wondering, he is a greek mythology guy. according to ledgend he chained the god of death, Thanatos, so dead people couldnt reach the underworld. Hades intervened and Sisyphus was severely punished. for all eternity he was forced to roll a block of stone against a steep hill, which just tumbled back down when he reached the top. then the whole process would just keep repeating, lasting all eternity.

hope that helps.

Foo Fighters – Virginia Moon Lyrics 19 years ago
i bought in your honor for the song on the first disc, but i keep listening to it because of the songs on the second disc.
the foo fighter's range is just amazing.

i thought this song was about a girl that he compares to the moon, but reading everyones comments, im not too sure.
seems very likely hes singing to the virginia moon, not a girl named virginia moon as i thought.

Augustana – Boston Lyrics 19 years ago
pretty much everyone can relate on way or another, but everytime i hear this song, i cant help but think how compleatly relevant it is to my life right now.
im feeling so suffocated where i am (california) and i need to go somewhere where i can start over, "where no one knows my name" maybe even the literal boston.

but on the topic of the actual meaning, i think its more that the girl he broke up with is yelling at him, saying she cant stand being where she is. shes the one who needs to get away and he is just a witness.
