Evanescence – Before The Dawn Lyrics 15 years ago
this song has always been about astral projection for me.. like two lovers who cant be together in everyday life and only at night they leave their bodies and can be together and so one night they decide to fly as far away as possible and to never return to their physical bodies and lives..

The Kills – Cheap and Cheerful Lyrics 16 years ago
is it "i want you to be crazy, cuz ur boring baby when ur sane" or maybe safe in the end? i always thought it was safe.. lyrically it's prettier because sane is the opposite of crazy (which is in the same row) and that's just boring and not at all surprising like the kills! every time i try to listen to it, i only hear [sei-]

Röyksopp – What Else Is There? Lyrics 17 years ago
the video has always just reminded me of surreal dreams. i've actually seen houses like that floating in my dreams, before i saw this video. i think it captures the essence of dreams really well - you don't really know what's going on. the woman in the video could be a ghost but i like to think of it as a dream, maybe partly an OBE. the song also sounds dreamy and like something you're not really supposed to understand while awake..

Snow Patrol – How to Be Dead Lyrics 17 years ago
i think "You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth" is the only line that the girl says in reply to "Coz both my shoulders are heavy. From the weight of us both" and then the guy is frustrated that she hasn't listened to anything else, and didn't understand what he was saying at all

Placebo – Haemoglobin Lyrics 17 years ago
once during the night i had a horrible stomach ache and then i started listening to my mp3 player, hoping it'd forget the aching and haemoglobin started playing and so in desperation i took it as a sign and i went to the kitchen and drank red grape juice (as it is good for the blood and haemoglobin's in blood and whatever) and then soon after that my stomach stopped aching. thanks to this song! (later on i got a blood test and then it turned out i didn't have enough haemoglobin and had to take yucky retafer pills for two months)

anyway, this is one of my favourite songs and for a long time was the most played song on my itunes.
i've never thought of it being about racism and i'm not sure about the source who said molko claimed it was about racism. to me it has always seemed to be about suicide. and once reading an old placebo interview i was reminded of this song when steve mentioned he once had tried to commit suicide (tired to hang himself? or something like that, not quite sure, don't shoot me if i remember something wrong, i read it several years ago)

Placebo – Follow the Cops Back Home Lyrics 17 years ago
this place is like message boards after a new episode of lost (nevermind)

love the song, always been meaning to figure out what molko means by every song, never really have time for it.

Placebo – Days Before You Came Lyrics 17 years ago
first off, all the lyrics are wrong. and i've listened to this carefully (to the original and to several live versions) and know quite well how molko pronounces words! this is one of my favourite songs so i have to point these things out..

1. TOWELS HAVE CHANGED their name. IN a horn of plenty.
2. Even THE crack cocaine
3. to THE naked and profane (not 100% sure but sounds more like the [de] + in that case it's more molko to me)
4. Thunderbolt (singular) and lightning
5. DO WANT you anyway (i want it to be don't but molko clearly, especially in live versions, says DO)

(6.) just a funny thing: in one live version he sings "each day a brand new vein, it is very frightening" and starts laughing

now, to the meaning, "days before you CAME" the word came to me means "got an orgasm" that would be very molko and the word has a dirty sound when he sings live.

"towels have changed their name in a horn of plenty" hmm-hmm, that would even sound logical in a sick way...

"days before you [finally] came, [you were] counting breaths inside me"

anyway, the drug references also sound bad, like even drugs weren't doing it before molko's partner finally CAME.

everything sucked before he/she CAME!
