| Bright Eyes – Soul Singer in a Session Band Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song is not very happy. It's got a great melody and It blew me away when I saw Conor sing it last year but it's definetly not a happy go lucky song. It's about selling out. This is rather obvious in the lines I was a hopeless romantic, now I'm just turning tricks, and, slipping cash in the hand Of the soul singer in the session band, and, Now a red carpet bagger makes a blackberry call. The song continues to say that it's too late to save the soul singer in a session band and that we should "mourn his death" so to speak in the lines...We'll need every sand bag and every man To save the soul singer in the session band, and, Bless the soul singer in the session band Who this song is about is a bit ambiguous. I don't believe he is being autobiographical but Conor is always hard on himself. He could also be referring to a artiste who he used to really like now sees selling out. |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – We Only Come Out at Night Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It's not about vampires or goths! It's a song about being alone and not having anyone who really knows you along with not feelling comfortable in yourself. One possible reason for the "we only come out at night" line is drugs. This is supported by the "the days are much to bright" This could be true though Jimmy was the band member most heavily involved in drugs. Another reason for those lines could be refering to not feeling comfortable with people seeing you. Billy has refers to feelings like that in many of his other songs too. |
