Passion Pit – Swimming in the Flood Lyrics 14 years ago
I can't stop listening to this song- great lyrics.
I think this song is about an affair, one married, one single and the lyrics are written from the single persons inner dialogue.

My eyes have once again been proven wrong
Your clouds, your blanket and my pity song
Hovering on your front lawn
Carry on until it's gone

The person is feeling sorry for themselves, thinking about what they're doing, realizing that their perspective is clouded and unrealistic. They're desperate to be around the other person, hanging around them when they can but at the same time realizing that they're only continuing to hurt themselves.

What can I do?
The river's overrun
We're swimming in a flood, you know?
I thought I felt your touch
But the water's rising up

They relent to their emotions, what can I do? I am in too deep, I thought I felt you care, I kid myself into believing that something more was going to come out of this.

Then I lie naked in a rampage
In the flesh, face to face with the onset
I forget everything that's ever made me
Rise again
Now slowly leave my memory

Here they are thinking about the fact that they're continuing to place themselves in this destructive cycle, realizing that they're forgetting about themselves, what they believe in and what made them strong. They're hoping to forget about the other person, and move on.

The Reindeer Section – The Opening Taste Lyrics 16 years ago
This song reminds me of four influential men in my life- I can't belive how every verse can bring their image to mind, and how well the words express how I feel. Amazing song


I never got to say goodbye: My Cousin
It's harder now that your away: My Husband
I thought of so much more to say: The Forbidden Ex
You listened to it as you left: My Father

In other words couldn't hold my head
above the water for long enough to hear
your final wish is a lost cause to
anyone who heard above the din

I don't have time to dress it up: My Father
and all my thoughts come out at once: My Husband
I loved you more than i could think: The Forbidden Ex
of any other thing that hurts: My Cousin

I will hold my head in the shame you dealt: The Forbidden Ex
and it wets my skin as I fall right in : My Cousin
with your conscience clear you can walk away : My Father
take it easy dear on my swollen skull : My Husband

Gary Jules – Falling Awake Lyrics 18 years ago
i think this song could potentially be about those stages of your life, where you just "are"- you interact with your day, but your mind is a total blank- you are just going through the motions, almost a surreal stage, no feelings, nothing matters. you see people, you know their names, but you have no feelings toward them. you look at yourself in the mirror, but are not quite sure who you are looking at. you see your hands moving, but don't really know what they are doing. stuck in limbo, you want to feel and care, but you just cant bring yourself to. the dying want to feel anything but numb could be an interpretation of "monkeys in my heart are rattling their cages."
i dunno. this song sent me into a trance, and its just what it made me think of. intelligent interpretation?

Gregory and the Hawk – Boats and Birds Lyrics 18 years ago
i am kind of glad this band isnt signed. music anymore is just turning into trash and more about money and less about sharing feelings or making people question what the musician is trying to say. bands like gregory and the hawk keep real music alive, and fans like us will help keep them a float. congratulations to fans like us for finding the true meaning in music, and congratulations to gregory and the hawk for making us turn everything off and just focusing on the music. it is rare when i can find a band that just makes me sit and think engulfed in the music, if you listen to a song that brings back memories and tugs on the emotions then you know, you have found a truly awesome band.
