I think these lyrics are about the most sickening blasphemy I've ever read. Basically, someone ripped the melody of actually talented gospel music and sang it with these spewing lyrics. |

@[fadedmemories14:1893] I think you're right about the meaning of the song. To comment about being in an fwb relationship. ..it makes it worse than a prostitute. ..at least there is some kind of exchange. Why waste youth being unloved when there are honest people who will love you? Fwbs are asking for it...years of therapy for no really good reason. There are plenty of fish in the sea. |

It's about the emptiness in modern life. Everything is meant to entertain but the people are all outwardly youthful, beautiful, even, but hollow. Relationships are lies. The song reeks of hopelessness even though attempts at love and a better life have been made. I think it does touch on the idea of being stuck in lower class society with thugs cheats users abusers and liars. |

It's about people with the "it" factor. Well liked, no attachments, few needs...free spirits. The music video confuses me, though. |

I agree with those who say it's nostalgic. I think the video games and street scenes with skateboards are about being replaced by hobbies. Being ignored temporarily increases the obsessiveness of a young girl in love. It's a reflection on a failed relationship. |

I think it is about Taylor but it kind of is a gentle response that remembers the romantic aspects of the relationship. Kind of killing with kindness and some sexual tension. It does have a few gentle insults that sound like play. |

Also, I wanted to add that she makes some plays onto the gender bender issue that people were accusing her of. |

I like this song, to. One thing I agree with from a previous poster is that when you comment on this site, I think its pretty stupidto waste time talking about how much you like the song if you're not goingto bother analyzing it's meaning.
I think that it may possibly be about falling in love with a best friend. I saw a few references to motif like 'fashion monster' things that she has mentioned in interviews before. If she did say it was about a best friend, I think that the issue has to do with the fact that she deeply wants the guy, she's in love with him, but something isn't right. He's a bit of a psycho, sick, something like that, and part of her hates him and part of her knows it only ends in disaster, but she wants it anyways. And she knows that he knows she wants him. It will end with one of them, probably her, eliciting a revenge if they actually have a romance together. She doesn't want to be his friend, but he only wants friendship. Their relationship isn't healthy but it is passionate, especially on her side. She wants a 'bad romance', a sick, passionate, love. It may even be a married man, because of what she said about the baby sick another room. I think that the whole idea of something being very wrong, very off, is present, yet she only wants more. Its definetly desperate and painful for her. She loves him. |

I think its about a girl who likes a guy. The guy doesn't really like her, but he is okay with using her for her body. I think she's conflicted because she's trying to convince herself...and him, that he doesn't mean anything to her and that its all only lust. But its obviously not so in the undertones, she has feelings, and the repetition of him meaning nothing to her only makes it moreso obvious that she's trying to convince herself. |

I also think that its about being lost in space and how that compares to a sinner who is lost...and then finding home, finding light, finding the sun, and that is finding Christ. |

I agree that its about a desperate woman who is doing the best she can to make a man love her. A part of her understands that there is no hope for that. So, as a last experience, she will enjoy one night in his arms. Perhaps its a last attempt to gain his love but its a failed one. I think she's foreshadowing the unbearable pain of making love to a man that she loves and of whom does not love her back. |

| Brave Saint Saturn – Binary Lyrics

The beginning of the song is an iinnerchange of biblical proverbs/ideas...taking them and switching part of the words to make them seem contradictory to the original meaning but also effectively conveying an emotion that people genuinely seem to have.
The other meanings are difficult for me to figure out but I think that it could be either about a girl or God or both somehow. Its a man who is lost in a spaceship...the light of some binary star has left him and thats a metaphor for a girl who left him and now he's alone. Its also about teh misery of someone who has done what is right and continues to try to do what is right but still remains without love or light from the star.
Its about someone hoping for things to change and in the meantime just waiting. |

Its a metaphorical song about a ship being lost in the darkness of space and then being saved by the light of the sun (Son). Its about someone who felt nothing and was cold and cruel and had their heart broken by the love of Christ. Its very emotional and beautiful. It also sticks to a theme that seems to appear in their other songs that says that faith/hope is not a way of coping with realities that you can't handle but rather that accepting hope is brave. |

I think that its a caustic story about a certain archtype of a man. Its about the type of guy who would think this song is about him. A lot of men called her to thank her for the song, for instance. Not just Warren Beatty. |

It could be about drugs. I have no idea as far as that goes...it was Thompson's favorite song I've heard. Its sad that one of our best lyricists would've had to depend on drugs instead imagination but hey. |

| DJ Shadow – What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 3) Lyrics

He's being funny because he's saying that being conscious isn't being awake/aware which its usually known as being. So its odd that he claims that they are as real as external reality like he's talking about a spiritual realm and a physical realm.
The last part about going back to the first part makes little sense and is meant to be poetic unless its somehow religious... |

I think its someone who is in love with his wife. They are very young and going through hard times because they are poor. He knows he has to get up for the daily grind and its deppressing but he's trying to cheer her up. God, its an excellent song. |

Its about someone who has come to the realization that they've known since the beginning. They pulled a 'fools rush in' with someone of whom they obviously do not have deeper, lasting, truer feelings for. They're in a tough bind because they've become somewhat emotionally attached because of the time & energy they've invested in building a house but its its made of rotten wood. They also have to worry about the natural damage that is caused from leaving a relationship that they've been in for quite some time. All along the speaker has known that they've been with someone that they weren't comfortably in love with...they were sharing a bed in which he couldn't sleep. |

Its about a desire to escape from deppression and boredom by following a new leader of something whimsical into a fantasy. He's very tired, very weary but still torturously awake and looking. His original purpose/meaning in his existence is gone and now he's left wondering what to do...so he looks for something else. The rest of it is poetry. |
