| Spoon – I Summon You Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Really? I find Kill The Moonlight and Girls Can Tell incredibly boring. I'm not even a fan of The Way We Get By. Uh oh, did I say something taboo? I like Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine and I Summon You a lot! I Turn my Camera On and Sister Jack are kinda boring, but decent songs. But, that's just me, I guess. | |

I don't mean to offend anyone, but with a song like this, there's really not that much to analyze. Come on, jail? Guys, stop over-analyzing, and just read the lyrics. Britt himself says it's about long distance relationships. That makes sense. Everything in the song supports him trying to see his love who is 800 miles away. Honestly, I do like this concept of a divorce though. When I first heard the song, I thought he sings, "And how'd we get kids? Too late to break it off" when it's really "And how'd we get here/it's too late to break it off." So perhaps subconsciously, I always associated it with that. I'm almost sad to see it's not "kids" though. Ha. The "summons" is interesting as it's a legal document, signifying divorce. But alas, I have to put this idea aside because it's just not that complicated. It's about long distance relationships, plain and simple! |

| Has nobody thought of the Middle East? Is it just me or does this have some Middle Eastern ring to it? The instruments, the subjects, etc? | |
| Jackson Browne – Late for the Sky Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I really love the title Late For The Sky. To me it has two meanings: 1) Late to take off to the sky (i.e. "for"= destination as in the plane for Rio) 2) Late FOR the sky- as in, the sky is late in its changing Both ways fit for the song. Pure brilliance. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Your Heart Is an Empty Room Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think it's basically been said in 1,000 different ways by all the posts, but I think it's about a guy or girl (I don't think it matters) who is depressed about something, either losing a relationship or whatever, and all that person can think about is being alone while Ben sings that there are so many possibilities to overcome this sadness. The person's heart is like an empty room because it doesn't think of anything except being alone and depressed, hence nobody else being in the room. It makes me feel better when i'm depressed. | |
| Ted Leo and the Pharmacists – Me and Mia Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I've read all the comments. Kudos to all who researched eating disorders. Certainly on the surface the song seems like it is about eating disorders. However, I've listened to Ted Leo, and he's a pretty clever lyracist. I think somehow the eating disorder is a metaphor for fighting for mental control or life in general: Even the nights that could get better. And even the days aren't all that bad. And after a week of fighting, As more and more it seems the right thing If I read those lines, I can see they could be about an eating disorder or anorexia or a diet, whatever. But somehow it has mental and life issues undertones. A great song all around! |

| Sublime – Santeria Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Oh right, forgot the song meaning. Haha. It's about some guy, who's heina (a Caribbean word, influenced by Spanish roots meaning a beautiful woman or girlfriend) cheated on him with a sancho (the other man, which is Spanish slang). He wants a revenge and decides to kill Sancho with a gun. This guy's just a bit angry, isn't he... | |

| I have mixed feelings about Sublime. The bass, guitar, and drums all have merit, especially the guitar, which is surprising, because Brad was never heralded as a great guitarist. He's not Hendrix, but he's damn good. This song is probably my favorite Sublime song. It's got a great bass, soulful singing, and easily the best guitar work of Brad's career. It's a pretty simple melody and beat, but the band takes it to an extreme with the lyrics and the great guitar solo. Good song! | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Here's to the Atom Bomb (Machina II) Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I agree with most of the previous writers. One line that wasn't really touched: In saturnine, sweetness, and horatio fin -Saturnine means gloomy or gloominess. It's describing her emotions as she is having sex; there is sweetness and depression at the same time. I believe Horatio Fin could be the man she is having sex with. I have not come up with any other idea. The Holes in The Wall -When there are holes in a wall, it is not in great condition and it is not perfect. Like an atom bomb devastating lands, similarly the holes are problems, so to speak. The girl is described as the "Hole in the wall" at times, which maybe implying that she is demented and crazy. "We are the holes in the wall". We are not perfect. |
