Snow Patrol – My Last Girlfriend Lyrics 19 years ago
nailed, those are the right lyrics...when he sings 'do not worry im not interested etc for the second time', on the 'if it should begin to...' he actually does say hurt...
but he whimpers it and it sounds like "hur...*sob*"
i love that bit, its incredibly passionate and i think he might really be crying or something

Snow Patrol – Chasing Cars Lyrics 19 years ago
We'll do it all, everything, on our own.
We don't need anything, or anyone.

Perhaps parents or peers are frowning on teh relationship, á la romeo and juliet?

If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.

life is a burden for them right now and they just want to forget about it

I don't quite know how to say how I feel
Those three words, are said too much, they're not enough.

i think its 'those three words, are said too much, yet not enough'

this means 'i love you' is said too much in the wrong situations.
eg: 'You got tickets? I love you!'
as opposed to when two people are alone.

If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.
Forget what we're told, before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life.

they want to live life before its too late, and life has been grey so far - they want to see a multitude of colours

Let's waste time, chasing cars, around our heads.

who knows where cars will go? they want to go with the flow
I need your grace to remind me, to find my own.

i think its ' i need your grace to read my needs to find my own'

he needs her to stop him from sinking into himself

If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.
Forget what we're told, before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life.

already explained

All that I am, all that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

she is all he has left, he has invested so much emotion into one person

I don't know where, confused about how as well
just know that these things will never change for us at all.

he doesnt know where he is, both literally and metaphorically and he just knows he will never stop loving her

If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.

U2 – Bad Lyrics 19 years ago
its about wanting to break off a stagnating relationship that is hurting them both. they love each other but its not working.
i think the woman is maybe in a vunerable position and if he broke it off it would kill her

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, you know, I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate

*he would break it off but cant...*


If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind

*love is a great thing, but this love is bitter*

I'd leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
Through the rain
Into the half-light
Through the flame

*he would love to see her be free from the relationship and perhaps free from whatever problems she has*

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day

So let it go
And so fade away
So let it go
And so fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no

If they should ask well maybe they'd
Tell me what I should say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colours crash, collide in bloodshot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go

This desperation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Isolation
Let it go, aha

And so fade away
So let it go, aha
And so fade, fade, fade away
So let it go
And so to fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

no idea what the rest of it means... maybe its elegant banter, meaningless elegance as its certainly beautiful and poetic

Snow Patrol – Warmer Climate Lyrics 19 years ago
This song is my life! i love it so so so much its incredibly beautiful and the lyrics... wow!

Too easy to get lost in progress
I didn't see you there in that dress
And suddenly the world seems so small
We'd fit it all inside our front hall
Edison would spin in his grave
To ever see the light that you gave
Don't want to take it nice and slow here
Don't want to waste a minute more, dear

i love this verse, especially the bit about the dress, as its all about feelings then it brings u back to earth by mwntioning something material

Snow Patrol – Run Lyrics 19 years ago
it reminds me of in a midsummer nights dream, hermia and lysander un away together.... the first verse is what lysander would say to hermia......
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Snow Patrol – How to Be Dead Lyrics 19 years ago
I think its... (b = boy G= girl)

B: Please don't go crazy, if I tell you the truth
No you don't know what happened
And you never will if
You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
G:This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall
B: Where you've had me for hours
Till I'm sure what I want
G: But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what's up
B: I won't stop no way

G: Please keep your hands down
And stop raising your voice
B: It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice
It's a simple suggestion can you give me sometime
So just say yes or no
G:Why can't you shoulder the blame
B: Coz both my shoulders are heavy
From the weight of us both
G: You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth
B: You've not heard a single word I have said...
B + G: Oh, my God

B: Please take it easy it can't all be my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes
That you've listed so far
Oh baby let me explain something
It's all down to drugs
At least I remember taking the and not a lot else
It seems I've stepped over lines
You've drawn again and again
G:But if the ecstacy's in the wit is definitely out
B: Dr. Jekyll is wrestling Hyde for my pride

Wit can also mean 'brains' or 'smarts' so maybe he loses all sense under the influence of drugs..

Snow Patrol – Chocolate Lyrics 19 years ago
we had to perform a modern interpretation of a midsummer nights dream in english and we thought about how oberon feels watching titania having an affair in front of him.
in the modern world he'd be hurt, and we had him kneeling over titania as she slept with bottom in her arms, and had this playing, and the characters singing it:

Oberon: You're the only thing that I love
Scares me more every day

On my knees I think clearer

(oberon kneels down)

Oberon: Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I'll claim I did
But in truth I'm lost for words

Oberon: What have I done?
Puck: It's too late for that
Oberon: What have I become?
Puck: Truth is nothing yet
A simple mistake starts the hardest time

Oberon: I promise I'll do anything you ask, this time.

Snow Patrol – Get Balsamic Vinegar... Quick You Fool Lyrics 19 years ago
cut my eyes out dear
so i can't see your smug grin
you're right you always win

He's in a bad relationship, they argue but the girl always wins, and its irritating him so he argues more and more

untie my hands now
i'm game up to a point
and we're well past bedtime now

they are in a love-hate relationship, instead of communicating they argue, this is their communication

all this time away
an' i'm freezing cold now

he's hasn't been in a loving relationship for so long that he fears his heart is cold and he's forgotten how to love

i try hard not to laugh
as she trips up on the step
and her look turns me to stone

this is simple, the girl trips and he laughs, but she glares at him... this is bad treatment and its the final straw

i'm closer to the truth
she hates being on her own
but fuck her i'm leaving tonight

the girl destroys all who love her...he's just realised that and he's leaving

why should i live this way
when i could be with someone else

i don't want to hurt her feelings
but she's a crazy fucked up bitch

he yearns for a proper relationship

Snow Patrol – Half the Fun Lyrics 19 years ago
Half the fun of it is that I can't keep up
And I lose my breath

I think the girl he is involved with is into sex, drugs and drink. really rock n roll stuff, and it was fun to be with her but now the consequences (hangovers, injuries, abuse, pregnancies) have come through to him,and he wants out

and what's worse
Is I don't think I'm the first

He thinks many of the girls lovers felt this way, and thats why she has so many.

Anywhere you like, you can do no wrong
Please just give me five minutes dear

I think he is letting her have sex with her, and he doesn't like it. He admires her, but she is too fast and flighty for him

Let's just pray it's not near

he doesnt want to enjoy this, he doesnt want to get pleasure from having sex with her because he fears he'll be sucked into her vortex again, and have to deal with hangovers, etc

Stay forever. I won't last it as I'll die trying

the girl is probably living with him, and if he tells her to move out she'll have no place to go. He doesnt have the heart to tell her to move out anyway.
he doesnt think he'll last being with her, her having sex with him and him trying not to enjoy it.

Will you suffer a little with me?
But you would never

he has to look after her when she has a hangover, or is sick, injured or pregnant.
she is so detached from reality that she doesnt seem to suffer

With a second chance I'd mess it up again
But I'd do it worse than before

he would mess it up on purpose as he hates this

Cos I've learned so much more

he's learnt that the person someone is after a few drinks and drugs isnt who the person really is

About the way we fertilise the roses
That were bought to show us how much you care
Now it's easier to care

I think he has succumbed, and now he is letting himself enjoy the sex. the rose is the girls sex, and every since hes surrendered its easier.

Getting past this. You have to take it.

the girls probably involved in some major crime, and is running from the consequences.
he says you have to take the blame.

I will wait here
Please believe me, just stop running
Say you'll get help

he says if she goes to rehab she'll get better and he'll wait for her until she comes out

I caught the last flight, I had to see you
It can't wait longer

abscence makes the heart grow fonder - as he struggled to remember the girl while she was at rehab he created this perfect image of her, that isnt who she is at all.

He's not your father, just a doctor
So lick your own wounds

shes involved with some one who dumbly supports this destructive relationship, entranced by her sexuality.
he's disgusted, and says a bf cant be expected to stcik it out through every fight, every hangover.

Snow Patrol – Chocolate Lyrics 19 years ago
This is my view of the song:

This could be the very minute
I'm aware i'm alive - he's just had a wake up call, his girlfriends probably found out that he's been cheating

All these places feel like home - he has no home, or his 'home' eg where his bed is or who he is sleeping with is , in so many places he doesnt know where it is anymore, so everywhere can be home to him
With a name i'd never chosen

I can make my first steps
As a child of 25 - he's beginning to learn decency, respect and trust all over again, much like a child

This is the straw, final straw in the
Roof of my mouth as I lie to you - he's been telling so many lies that they have got more and more elaborate and the person he is lying to has caught on

Just because i'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time. - he probably enjoyed cheating. the cheating was probably having sex with some one else so he got enjoyment out of that. maybe his girlfriend didnt want to have sex until after marriage?

You're the only thing that I love
Scares me more every day - he's probably been in so many sex-orientated relationships that when he finds one that is real, and there is communication and he's in love with the person, it is a different, stronger feeling that any sex, which is scary to him

On my knees I think clearer - we can only guess what he is doing kneeling. *when you are on your knees in front of someone your face is facing between the legs...*
I think maybe something sexual, but maybe he's so used to cheapening or humbling himself with meaningless sex that it has become who he is

Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I'll claim I did
But in truth I'm lost for words - he probably saw his girlfriend finding out and breaking up with him, but he's addicted to destructive relationships and the thrill of the chase

What have I done? It's too late for that - what he has done has hit him, and he goes around to apologize, but shes having none of it

What have I become? Truth is nothing yet - he's reaslised that hes cheapened himself, and even though in his heart he knows what he is, he cant bring himself to admit it.

A simple mistake starts the hardest time
I promise I'll do anything you ask, this time. - he says it was a 'simple mistake' and vows to his girlfriend that he'll stay faithful 'this time'

this is quite detailed but i love looking between the lines of things, and this song is just great.
it's such a sweet melody but when you look at it closely its a sad song about destruction and cheating and lies.

like chocolate, the affair was pleasurable but destructive.
