| The National – Start a War Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think ozzmotic is right, there is a huge difference between 'and' & 'or'. maybe the war starts for the person who leaves, because sometimes leaving, forgetting and letting go is much harder than staying. It is like fighting a war with yourself. Maybe the war starts for both of them: 'We've tried it, but hasn't worked out. So leave now, this time I will be brave and strong enough to live it through, though I know it will be as hard as living through a war, but I can do it. If you think that you can put everything behind, then so can I, so go..." | |

| Mandalay – Like Her Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I think the song is about a guy who was first interested in a girl only because she looked like an ex. The guy was looking for a similar girl, a lookalike because he was still in love with his ex. His present girfriend figures this out, but truly the guy fell for this girl, not beause of the similarity between her and the ex. So guy tries to talk it over, set it right and convince her of his true love. (all this time only you nothing more...is it all lost and gone...i will be here for you) He is afraid that she won't believe him, and she will break up with him like his ex did before: It looks like You won't be staying round Given the time And your mood You look a lot like her And you look so like You won't be staying around Here in this half light You look a lot like her It's a song of falling in and out of love. |

| Stereophonics – I'm Alright (You Gotta Go There to Come Back) Lyrics | 19 years ago |

For me it's about being in love with someone who is your friend but you can't tell him/her because you're a coward or just too afraid to confess your feelings. Or maybe the worst: you know that you won't get reciprocity and there's a chance that you have to end the friendship and never see your love again. 'tell you what you want to hear but that don't make it true... wear another smile...' - you're not able to give your secret away, you rather pretend that everything's ok. You hide, you lie, you try to run away with the help of alcohol, pills, smoke... You love and hate the person in the same time, "tell another joke for you, Did you hear the one about the one that looks like you" - you don't understand why he or she can't see your real feelings, everything, even he/she looks like a sick joke, because the situation is insane... you just break under the weight, but still you would do anything for the person you love, you take the punch (maybe it's him/her that gives it without knowing it), make the pound to drive to the moon (give him/her encouragement, help,a shoulder to cry on till he/she is happy - perhaps with someone else.) and this whole thing lasted for so long that you can't really count the drinks, the pills, you just do it over and over again (did it before do it again), because you can't find a solution, you can't see the end of it. You can only accept it and try to live with it: I'm alright - it is ironic, you don't mean it, this irony explains the voice of the singer when it comes to the refrain. you're 'alright', but it can't go on anymore... you've already been to hell, you gotta go there to come back... |
