| Ditto. Those vocals (and lyrics, actually) are utterly heartbreaking. | |
| Delays – Wanderlust Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I don't think it's about anything as specific as drug addiction... more a general feeling of desperation for something more out of life. However, I do agree that a friend/lover is involved - they're offering the person an escape from the mundanity of their lives (hence the line 'we'll go where there's no snow'). I absolutely adore these lyrics. They're not too specific or personal to the songwriter - they just create this beautiful sense of hope, intimacy and love, which is something I think everyone dreams of capturing at some point in their lifetime. In fact, I'd actually go as far to say that 'do you share the rush to be alone?' is one of my favourite lyrics of all time. Just incredible. And I also have to agree with Nuclear.Sky - his voice is stunning. It's ethereal and heavenly to the point of being out of this world. A lot of my friends instantly reject it because 'he sounds like a woman' - but honestly, I think his voice is beyond gender - it's the voice of an angel. Simple. As. |

| Bat for Lashes – What's A Girl To Do Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| ah right i thought I heard 'that' but thought it didn't gramatically make sense with the rest of the sentence...but couldn't work out what else the rest of the sentence could be... so thanks =) | |
| Bat for Lashes – Bat's Mouth Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| seems pretty accurate to me, except i hear the line 'in between is overflowing and the rush of the...?' (can't work out the next words) | |

| Ghosts – Stay The Night Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
totally agree with procstella. this song is a classic. it mixes so many genres together- jazz, pop, rock, indie, the list goes on... but the main thing is: they do it successfully. This song is fun, poppy and lovely. can't wait for the album. |

| ahh so mystical- it's like a twisted fairytale. | |
| Keane – Somewhere Only We Know Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
this song is so intimate and romantic- i love it so much. seems to me like it's about a person desperately clinging onto a relationship with a person they love- and perhaps they need to go to their own personal place to re-discover their love for each other. |

| Delays – Long Time Coming Lyrics | 18 years ago |

greg said this song was 'about watching people you love losing their innocence and the naivety that you shared when you were younger, falling into the kind of adulthood you swore you never would, and wishing you could have done something about it. It;s a loss of innocence and also of spontaneity and people becoming really guarded and jaded. Friends stuck in jobs you know they don't wanna do, living in houses they don't wanna live in.' i've also read that aaron has cried at a gig before whilst playing this song because its about a friend of theirs who died in a car crash. there's a link there somewhere. |
