| Keren Ann – It's All a Lie Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song, to me, is perfect. It's like driving slow through the middle of the counntry on a clear night where all the stars are visible and you can smell the pine of the trees... It's a simple song about missing the love that you once had. Not loving what you have as much. And wanting that love back again. I think we can all relate. Amazing. |

| Ingrid Michaelson – Breakable Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
First off, just because she is female and plays the piano, does not mean she is similar to regina spektor. ok, I think this sond can have 1 of 2 meanings. First (and in my mind, most probable): The first verse has both a literal and a metaphorical meaning. The literal meaning that we are fragile people and can easily be physically be broken or even die. The metaphorical meaning that we don't have a lot of physical or emotional armor to protect our hearts from being hurt and it doesnt take much to stop ones heart from beating for someone else or confessing their love for someone else. The second verse has a man and a women in vehicle, the passenger being the one who was physically broken and the driver being the one who was metaphorically broken. The driver buckles the passengers seatbelt, symbolizing that he/she is protective of the other and wants to make sure that nothing happens to him/her. The reference to the two-ton death trap I feel is how the passenger feels about vehicles now...assuming that he/she was physically broken in an accident - perhaps while with someone else (a lover, friend, or family member), perhaps because of a bad decision (alcohol or drugs). It is after the seatbelt is buckled that the passenger sees the "piece of love" on the drivers face and realizes that the protective nature stems from deeper feelings for him/her. He/she is then "bathed in regret" for not noticing this before and because of how things have turned out - perhaps a friend or family member was killed in the accident or the passenger is permanently broken in some way (either physically or mentally) or both - and because of the tragedy, the drivers heart, which is "the muscle that confesses" is "stopped" from ever letting those feelings out. So, therefore, the "breakable girls and boys" is both literal and metaphorical - as both of them are broken in some way and they can no longer have what might have been. The second thought involves no accident. It takes on the more metaphorical sense and describes, similar to above, that it doesn't take much for a heart to break or hold back. The second verse, similar to above as well, has the passenger realizing that through the kindness and caring, the driver has always loved him/her. He/she is then bathed in regret for not having known or for not having taken the opportunity in the past. perhaps its way in the future and they both have families or something. In this version, I can't explain the "two-ton death trap". Maybe its another metaphor for an inescapable place where the false pretenses the passenger has been living under come crumbling down and die to the reality that is right on the drivers face. Anyways, that's what I think. I love this song. And I'm going to see Ingrid next Wednesay here in St. Louis!!!!! :) |

night is an adder hidden in grass she bites like her life depends on it and waits to see how long you last but you know better you stand your ground it might just sting a little but she knows youre sticking around |

i will be the first to say that this is the best song on the album. KT throws so much emotion into it...its hard not to feel what shes conveying... i love what this song means to me and ill selfishly keep that because its really hard to describe what it DOES mean to me. i will say that the most brilliant line in the song is this: you might think that im always gone, but i know that im coming back. |

i agree with goodreverend. I think that the song is very sarcastic, which is blatantly indicated by the chorus. In essence, he's saying: I'm not alright. But whether he's saying to F off or that he misses the person is unclear... |

| Erin Bode – Home Again Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This is one of the most amazing songs that I have ever heard...It is so short and to the point, but it has such a deep and profound meaning that hits home differently in everyone's heart. Everyone wants to get away...whether from themselves or from their lives in search for something new. But we all find out that in the end, we find comfort and the things and people that are close to our hearts. A room in a house, a meeting place, the voice of a close friend...all of these things we are able to return to and 'find ourselves by fire' to warm our hearts and our souls. This song paints such a vivid image of this inner struggle that we all enounter in some fashion, and Erin's lovely voice carries it and sows it into my heart as if she's making me realize something that I know all too well. I love this song. A lot. |
