| Arctic Monkeys – What If You Were Right the First Time? Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
turner's vocals are especially amazing in this one. i think it's about him on tour (prolly overseas) without his girl and faces separation anxiety (i know theres a first for the trip over the water was this the worst that could happen?). he wants to look into her eyes when they speak not through the impersonal phone convos (you can't look into those eyes down no telephone line). basically, he still misses her ;wonders what shes doing when he's away/ they're apart (d'you wonder where she is this afternoon?). i may be way off but i think the "fantastic dream" is the band and the "tricks" are deterrences that get in the way. but i'm still a little shady on what the first time means/ is. very mischievous great song though. |

| Rilo Kiley – The Moneymaker Lyrics | 18 years ago |

granted the video is in a smut shop but that doesnt mean the song is just about "simplistic porn." i read the album was about the darker side of LA as Jenny was quoted in an interview, "...songs about sex, drugs, infidelity, murder, and betrayal. They might seem pretty on the outside, but put them under the blacklight and you might see the things you dont necessarily want to see." I think this song is in response to the record industry and their money grubbing antics and the porn industry is a metaphor kind of/ the songs theme. well, i'm probably wrong but those are just my thoughts on it. |

| Arctic Monkeys – D Is for Dangerous Lyrics | 18 years ago |

props oh_someday... here's what i found; "This time it’s from a lyric in one of the songs. I’ve been finding it hard to describe, actually. But there’s a lyric in the “D Is For Dangerous” song, and it seemed to tick all the boxes for what we were after in a title. As far as concerns what is your favourite worst nightmare, I think I’d describe it by saying it’s like someone with a gambling addiction – they get something out of it, but they know it’s bad for them. But in the song it’s more to do with… a woman." -Alex Turner |

| The Shins – Gone For Good Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is one of the Shins more obvious songs in meaning, I think. It's clearly about a man who wants to commit desperately to a woman, he cares for, who doens't seem to want to commit anytime soon. So, he decides to end it because their relationship is going absolutely nowhere. | |
