| Bright Eyes – Old Soul Song (For the New World Order) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Obviously this song is about a protest. It seems to be a protest concerning war, considering the title of the song including NWO makes it political, he mentions wars on tv, and he uses wild flowers as imagery which represents peace in a way, which the protesters dream of, right? I mean, it's pretty obvious to me. | |
| Fiona Apple – The First Taste Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song is very straightforward, which is one of the reasons why I absolutely love it. She begins by admitting to thinking "late thoughts," meaning in this instance that she is fantasizing about this person sexually. I love "waiting for the black to replace my blue." In other words, waiting to fall asleep - see nothing - black - rather than lay around feeling melancholy. She begins to describe being entangled in this man's web, although she is enjoying it and wanted to be there. But she is growing with anticipation, waiting for him to finally make a move on her, which is basically the entire song in a nutshell. Another part that I particularly love is when she says: Full is not heavy as empty. Not nearly, my love. I'm sure I'm interpreting this based on my own experiences, but I really feel that what she is saying is that the chase is pretty much all the fun. Even though she wants it so badly, once she gets it, it might not be as great as she imagined. I truly believe that anticipation is the purest form of pleasure, and that is how I interpret those lines. Fiona, I love you. |

| Radiohead – 2 + 2 = 5 (The Lukewarm) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| when i listen to this song driving around in my car i ALWAYS think my car is making a funny sound because of that very subtle screeching in the background.. but yeah, this song kicks so much ass. the meaning is pretty straightforward i feel.. the whole album "hail to the thief".. i mean, the name says it all. it's very political. are you such a dreamer to put the world to rights? i mean, come on.. | |
| Radiohead – The Gloaming. (Softly Open Our Mouths in the Cold.) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| many people already said this and hit the nail on the head.. this song is about the right wing. i can definitely understand why some people would have a hard time listening to this, but for me, i could listen to it over and over. it's so creepy and beautiful; i love the distorted sounding static. the very beginning is amazing: genie let out of the bottle, it is now the witching hour. it hits you so hard. thom yorke <3 you are the man. | |

i won't lie and say that i can really interpret this song.. i've never had an easy time making sense out of the lyrics of every radiohead song. some are self-explanatory, and some you can figure out, but this one in particular i'd rather not even try. all that i know is that it means something to me personally. i happen to LOVE the album version. in my opinion, this is the most perfect and beautiful song ever written. if you ever have the opportunity, go see radiohead live! |
