i am a cactus
on the dry earth
you are the ungrateful spines
my little dark-haird lady
i am a cactus
no one looks at me
no one lingers
no, not the same troubles
but, there you are
pretty drizzling (like a small rain shower)
pretty drizzling
so clear, so blue, so fine
you alone will see
the flowers (grenat?)
that i open under your fingers
i am a cactus
and you know the rest |

oui, une fois, j'ai cherche pour les chansons de Portishead, et j'ai trouve cette chanson. mais le francais n'est pas sa langue maternelle, donc saprononciation n'est pas parfait. je suis desolee mais j'ai oublie ou j'ai la trouve, peut-etre "Bearshare" |

i love this song. the french language is a great playground for words. camille is great at using rhyming words with totally different meaning and connecting them. but for an american it can become quite a tongue twister to differentiate between toi and trois every other verse haha. |

this song is so funny. to me (im only in french 5, so i may not understand it correctly) it says that why do men ponder questions as heavy as if god exists when they should worry what their women have in their purses. |

| Camille – Pour Que L'amour Me Quitte Lyrics

|
this is such a good song...sad. my french isn't very good but pour que l'amour me quitte means "so that love will leave me". to me (because of my bad french it is too poetic to understand). but i kind of get the feeling her love is dying in the hospitol, and she doesnt want to feel lover for this person anymore because they are dying and it will hurt her. but there are so many things that i am just translating literally taht dont make sense. |

this song is great because of the imagery. it combines the sounds of a carousel and very neat phrases. i agree the "a l'air libre, les oiseaux- ont eux aussi le vertige" that is my favourite part. *i love the fact that everything sounds better in french. Seriously... say in free air birds also have vertigo, and then a l'air libre les oiseaux ont eux aussi le vertige.... it just sounds sweet.* |

to me thi speaks of a mans hopeful to be more intelligent. someone who is trying so hard to be profound but just was born with a simple mind. and his wife telling him its not important it doesnt matter "dont go there" and the tree is the tree of knowledge. it always pays to learn. |

great song. it seems to me like she just read a horiscope and wroe about her fortune, or aquarius quirks. i never saw the person in the shadows as god, but as an either ex or hopeful lover. its hunting "born of a sign that carries water, but in a month that brings just ice" |

for me this verse "Well, I just know they got something coming, If they got anything coming at all" is about america and how we have a huge plaque in front of our country saying "give us your tired, your weak.." but when immigrants get here the people say "NO.NO go back from which you came" karma.... we had it comin ... |

wow....this is way out and i am in no way sure this is what this song is about but to me...it sounds like.....a young girl goes to a party gets drunk and does it for the first time....and its not what she expected and now in her mind shes cooler....somehow older....but that is just what i take from the song......any other thoughts? |

| Regina Spektor – Braille Lyrics

i absolutly love this song...and i believe that its about an underprivliveged family of just a mother and son and the mother didnt grow up in a very nice environment....when she says
"They were just two jerks playing with matches
Cause that's all they knew how to play "
i dont think its litterally playing ith matches..the expression if you play with matches youll get burned comes to mind...i think its about how the mother got "involved" too young and got burned...and had a baby....
and then she was forced to give up her dreams to be a mother which at first seemed like a terror but as Elvis grew up she began to realize it was a gift....
and when she says
"after all I'm still a jerk playing with matches
it's just that he's not around to play along
I'm still an ass hole playing with candles
Blowing out my wishes blowing out my dreams "
this is how she still hasnt learned and still gets into risky situations that ruin her dreams but she counts her stretchmarks...or scars to prove shes lived through the pain and hurt.....its actually a happy story with a sad mask on..... |

usually i know how to feel about songs....but this one i have no idea......well...besides that i like it...it really makes you think alot...it makes you exhausted....just trying to think about it....gosh..its like nuts...and i think when "kiwifruit said that it isnt weird i believe regina was trying to go for wierd...i mean regina is not the poster child of normal but this is way out...i think it was meant to boggle you and nub your mind...it sure does mine...it almost seems like she just talked her way out of sanity then wrote a song about it.......very strange but if youre a random person like i am you can definatly relate to how random it is......its definatly a peice of musical art...theres so many things going on......its great...i really like this song... |

well the great gatsby as well as this side of paradise go nicely with this song....mostly because fitzgerald was fairly rich an his books were semiautobiograhical... anyways...this song is great....i think it more corrilates with gatsby because in the book gatsby is on a quest to reunite with his former love... all the couples have gone seems to me like gatby is left out..which in the book he is. Daisy and Tom....Nick and Jordan...gatsby is alone....anyways...in the book the Tom B. character has a wife and a girlfriend and doesnt love his girlfriend and thinks shes fat which i dont know if its a coincidence or not.
but i think that baning on a chair is genius if not simple..maybe its simplicity makes it genius... |

first of all i see this from the perspective of the ballerina (or whatever thing you have in your music box that is on a sring and twirls) in the music box...
i once read that regina would ing little songs while doing the dishes or something and her family would make fun of her.....maybe the thing about doing the dishes is where the person in the musicbox felt free enough to sing a different song....
i love the part where she "starts to eel mortality surround me" |

the whole story of the fall of icharus intrests me.. Daedalus his father was a brilliant inventor....(invented the labrynth of the Minotaur) who became jealous of his nehew Talos who was a quick study and destined to outshine his uncle...Daedalus killed Talos...though wouldnt you think he would be a wise old man instead of immature with jealousy..... anyway so he was sent to the island of Crete for this and then he was imprisoned by the kind of Crete because his labyrinth built for the King failed its purpose ... Icharus being a stupid boy did not heed his fathers warning about flying to close to the sun or ocean and he melted the wax from his wings and was sprayed with the sea and weighed down sinking to his death near the island of Samos. this is a sad story of disobediance.
in this song it is wonderfully incorperated.
i love the "all weve got is a giant crop of names and dates" allusion to a graveyard...beautifully put |

i love how the words she chooses makes it sound like double entendre. "my heart eats beats-tsts-eats-tsts-beats-tsts... " if you eat beats then you know you can get all redish purple..and that makes me think that her heart is messy and bleeding...and her heart also beats...as the second message....great great song...
for some reason it makes me think of king kong....like hes a monster and all the people run...but he just wants love...hes practicly human his heart beats too....and people get the wrong impression...but his story is passed down through generatons in our society... they keep making his movies so we never truly bury him |
