| Regina Spektor – Hotel Song Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| She dislikes the fact that she cannot luxuriate in dreams and comfort, as the happyness is cut off by the fear that wakes her up every night. She is not full, she's insecure and needs his attention before she allows him to come any closer. But she did not know how life really works, that is why are all these floaters in her eyes and trying to play a grown up with all those cigarettes, manage all these lies, she's just not ready for that yet. With cocaine the pressure gets much more barable - it is clear that he'll never be her fool, nor a dear friend, just like for the lady in her dress that she needs to know better to know herself and her path. The porter is just the next fake thing in reality - a fake smile that is easy to buy with couple of gold coins, life itself is like a hotel, where noone stays forever, everybody once leaves for good, cheats or enjoys you in their one-time night with you - just to let you go or have another one get away with your dress. But cocaine makes it so much bearable and "fun"... | |
| Regina Spektor – Ne Me Quitte Pas Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| it sounds to me like a song for the kindness between people, innocent like kids in their hearts, and how the ghost of god and christmas is recognized where people get together and get along. The one that will stay out to join the game and has fun while catching a cold will definitely be the one that will never leave. Where there is "magic" in the air, it is just like Paris, as special as like when it rains - romantic, kind of less crowded, couples hugging tight under sole umbrella and others are warmed by their hearts despite soaking all wet.... | |
| Regina Spektor – Ode to Divorce Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I love that part: And you’re making that face that I like And you’re going in, in for the kill, kill For the killer kiss, kiss for the kiss, kiss She lost the meaning of her life and everything's tasteless. She lives in her fantasy and memories. She feels small, smashed and unimportant, but worth it maybe a dollar for the spare parts she turned into after every other bit of her goes destroyed. She also knows what he's gonna do to that other lady while she peeps from the back of his mouth and her heart is breaking. The kiss kiss is for that other lady and the kill kill is for Regina, cuz she used to be the proud owner of that killer kiss once. She's using then a sarcastic anger to evoke his guilt and "rob" him from everything he owns (money, car for the brother in need), to have him feel at least part of her emptiness (she directly askes for his love, as she lost her pride as well). Usurping his possessions will be her desperate attempt to have him back throught the main components of his life (his money, his car, his feelings), it will help her fill back this emptyness inside and quench her helpless rage with this small and in fact useless "revenge". |

| Regina Spektor – Uh-Merica Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The song is about finding ridiculous security in guns. It is about how the necessity of being masculine (UhUhUh...) canalizes into unleashing all this anger and the tickle of this fuzzy feeling of power and potency. We can also go refer to Freud: emptying the cartrige of the penis of the UhUhUh type of man (the macho) anytime with pleasure and how it is referred to the men's attitude to guns in general... | |
| Regina Spektor – Chemo Limo Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The Mom is staggering between denial, hopes, pride, fears and reality. - denial (she doesn't bother further with digging into details - behind closed doors/eyes she couldn't hear or see the bargains on what her bet will be; and this line: "I knew it was a dream right away" as if this nightmare can't be true), - hopes (cuz she knew it all the while that she'll be ok anyway), - pride (she needs to resist, she needs to believe that she still runs the show - that it is HER who planned to retire SOME day, she planned to go out in style, no matter what), - fears (she goes emotional about her kids, as she fears for their future and strenght to cope with reality) - reality (she has to make real choices - "The doctor he asked which way we were headed" and she chooses not to do it, she heads west to the sunset of her life). The death bed is her limo, where all of her kids are having a moment with her. Even though she's tripping (...when she woke up of THE dream, she called the limo company and the DOCTOR asked which way to drive), the reality blends with her hallucinations: this shit is really making her tired, she'd rather hallucinate she is going out in style, while her "kids were being quiet" watching her in her bed getting ready for her last trip. She captures image of each of them for eternity (Sophie with her eager to learn; Michael with his loving innocent heart; Jaqueline with her strenght and independence; and Barbara who took after the previous generation and will probably have a kid herself that will be just like her mom); she dies but she'll live in and through them. Both, chimo and a limo are expensive - unluckly, the Benjamin-Frlanklins can't do much for her now, but ironically the ones from her insurance will be there to babysit all four of her kids now ... |
