Bombay Bicycle Club – Always Like This Lyrics 16 years ago
I like to think it's about lack of change, or maybe it's about the fact that there is no desire for change :/ Or maybe its just that the person has tried and nothing did and now it feels like a waste

It's a sweet song though but I wish I could understand it more :)

Bombay Bicycle Club – The Hill Lyrics 16 years ago
It does feel like lost youth; or trying to recapture something that cannot be found again.
Quite mourning and a little sad although you dont get that feeling
The repetition may signify the regret
'I'm trying but we're all falling out,' may signify old friends growing up and friendships failing

All the same, it's a fantastic song :)

Autolux – Future Perfect Lyrics 17 years ago
I love the piano, but the lyrics are also pretty spectacular

Connie Francis – I Will Wait for You Lyrics 17 years ago
I think you'd have to have a heart of stone not to cry at the end of that episode of Futurama :( I was surprised at the tears that were falling down my face

Such a beautiful song
Just thinking about that bloody dog it making me teary though :'[

Alphabeat – Boyfriend Lyrics 17 years ago
ahaha, this is catchy :) And I do love the dance remix that little bit more just because I feel it just speeds the whole thing up. It's a great song just to dance to but alas, not really emotionally indepth, but then why would you dance to something like that

submissions
Noah and the Whale – 5 Years Time Lyrics 17 years ago
absolutely brilliant
Laura Marling's vocals are truly adorable and the song itself... It has to be the happiest song I've ever heard

Emmy the Great – Secret Circus Lyrics 18 years ago
'You told me that no matter where I went would be a prison
That the world is harsh, I know it is but...'

i love that line so much.

The Rumble Strips – Alarm Clock Lyrics 18 years ago
love the last part but the whole song is quite brilliant :) very funny; but you know you feel the same way when you wake up

submissions
The Rumble Strips – Motorcycle Lyrics 18 years ago
its a bit obvious meaning wise
But I love this song so much!! So cute; just the way you know you've sat on your bike wishing it to go faster...
I adore the last line especially :)

Tilly and the Wall – Rainbows in the Dark Lyrics 18 years ago
Some phrases were shot, pretty roses got tossed
The gift of a fat-lipped grin
Now they're drilling my teeth while I'm soiling sheets

I think this is literal, things got violent with the person she was having sex with then she had to get her teeth sorted out
...
In all I believe the story is just a series of unfortunate incidents that the singer is told from a young age "it just happens"
by the end I think she accepts it
I dont know but thats my interpretation
and even though its quite bleak it still cheers me up for no reason :)

Arcade Fire – Keep the Car Running Lyrics 18 years ago
it feels like a breathless dream :)

The Wombats – MOVING TO NEW YORK Lyrics 18 years ago
describes my week entirely :) So I like it because the lyrics are poignant in that sense but it's a great song too
I like the EP version moreso than the album track but live was definitely the best
I like the explanations too, Helboy has it down to a T in my opinion :]

submissions
Air Traffic – Shooting Star Lyrics 18 years ago
it's so amazing how quickly this song grows on you
the words are amazing but I love the guitar in this song; it bounces so well off the piano; it all makes the whole experience mind blowing... Wonderful use of instrumentation

submissions
Mew – Snowflake Lyrics 18 years ago
sometimes you need the perfect moment to really appreciate a song
And I guess I found the perfect moment and this song just lifted me so high...
Simply Wonderful

Emmy the Great – Edward Is Deadward Lyrics 18 years ago
beautifully sung and oddly idyllic
grief is so painful and so simply described

The Dykeenies – Stitches Lyrics 18 years ago
Oh the video is marvellous! Very very amazing!
So powerful, why can this band always make a song sound so breathless and so passionate with barely any effort?
Great song, the lyrics are making me teary by reading them, am full out crying when I hear them sang

submissions
The Dykeenies – Pick You Up Lyrics 18 years ago
Not really sure what to say
but I do love it
I adore the Acoustic version as well, what a talented little band

submissions
The Hoosiers – Worried about Ray Lyrics 18 years ago
It does say at the end of the video
"In honour of Ray Harryhausen"
so thats probably right, it just amazes me that they can write such a catchy song with such great lyrics. There's not alot of songs around like that

submissions
The Dykeenies – Clean Up Your Eyes Lyrics 18 years ago
it is like fight club isnt it!
it has a little marla and bob in it methinks
but still insanely uplifting track, as i ve mentioned i think its about admiration and probably people realising a relationship isn't working out

sad but beautiful and wonderfully sung hoorah!

submissions
The Dykeenies – Clean Up Your Eyes Lyrics 18 years ago
how can no one have commented this song?
It's so amazing! It lifts me up after a hard day, it makes me feel free, I'm not sure why
i think its a song of admiration

submissions
Willy Mason – Oxygen Lyrics 18 years ago
it's funny, the first time I listened to this song I didn't truly understand it. Then it came on one morning and I was in a sad mood and it lightened my mood... It's got that effect
like too much oxygen
you feel europhic

submissions
Klaxons – Not Over Yet Lyrics 18 years ago
The video is incredibly reminiscent of Golden Skans, but I love it all the same
even though it was a cover, they've done it extremely well!

Lupe Fiasco – Daydreamin' Lyrics 18 years ago
The girl is Jill Scott if anyone wants to hear some of her other stuff, she's got a nice voice indeed

fabulous song as well, brilliant rap mixed with the original song. Very well done, although I wasn't too keen on the video... I liked the I Monster one more with the dolls

submissions
Tricky – Hell Is Round the Corner Lyrics 18 years ago
Martina's voice is so smooth but Tricky's masterful lyrics are perfectly put against the vocals. It's a brilliant song and I must admitt I'm not normally a fan of rap but this is done so well I cant help but love it

submissions
Micah P Hinson – Close Your Eyes Lyrics 18 years ago
I agree with the above person, thank you Skins for allowing me to hear such a wonderous song... It's so sweet, and yet it brings a tear to your eye near the end... such a small yet powerful song

submissions
Blur – Parklife Lyrics 18 years ago
Love the little addins that Damon provides "parklife", hehe, the lyrics are brilliant in general!
Pure 90s life really... Reminds me of my youth... Just a great song in general with a great sing along chorus

submissions
The Shins – Australia Lyrics 18 years ago
This song never fails to cheer me up, no matter how I feel I can put this song on and suddenly I'm smiling... I dont know how and why... perhaps it's magic... Or maybe it's just a very beautiful song...

Heard it the first time driving down the Lakes District and I indeed smiled like a loon. To be surrounded by sheer beauty... Oh wow, it's just so lovely!

Not sure I'm coherent enough to explain the lyrics, although everyone else has done a fabulous job anyways, I especially like the references to Oedipus Rex

submissions
Oasis – Songbird Lyrics 18 years ago
Liam Gallagher has a heart!! And this song proves it! So short, I wish that little guitar would keep playing forever... But it's so poignant and it's something you'd never expect to come out of the lips of the man who created (well helped to) Be Here Now...
A brilliant song indeed! So sweet!

submissions
Paramore – Brighter Lyrics 18 years ago
Such a powerful little song sang by such a powerful voice. Haley is so small but her prescence is huge! Especially in this song.

There's a general consensus that "You shine brighter than anyone" is one of the best lines, it brings the song to life for me and made this lowly teenager nearly burst into tears... Not that it's difficult to make teenagers cry but you know what I mean

submissions
Klaxons – Golden Skans Lyrics 18 years ago
One of Jonathan Ross's favourite songs apparently, it's very cool to say the least. Takes you on a journey... and you end up sitting there a little breathless. I was quite euphoric after listening to it the first time reeeeeeally loudly... *frowns* Not sure if that's a good thing, but it felt nice at the time

submissions
Klaxons – Gravity's Rainbow Lyrics 18 years ago
Thomas Pynchon's Magnum Opus, I think it's the Klaxon's so far as well. By far the best song I've heard by them

The vocals are fantastic! I've heard it live several times and its hard for them to disappoint with this song. Very cool indeed!

submissions
Klaxons – Magick Lyrics 18 years ago
This video had me all scared when I first saw it, not that its not good, I love a good shocker but it's still bizzare. Reminds me of that film, Stigmata

Great song all the same, love the vocals provided by Jamie! Also like the reference to Ko Phangan which is were the "Moon Festival" takes place. It's set at the full moon and it's basically rave music from dusk to dawn.

How very Klaxon-esc

submissions
Funeral for a Friend – Into Oblivion (Reunion) Lyrics 18 years ago
Oblivion is a state of forgetfulness, but it doesnt refer to that at all in the lyrics

therefore I think he is referring to the great abyss that is life. When he looks carefully all he can see is himself, thats what life becomes though, you've got to keep yourself alive or else all thats left is Oblvion

So he returns to the life he had with his children. A life he remembers... Maybe... I dont know, thats my interpretation. Brilliant song all the same

Embrace (UK) – A Glorious Day Lyrics 18 years ago
this song is so atmospheric, the beginning piano keys are wonderously followed by sweet vocals... It just lures you into a false security when it's such a sad song...
It's marvellously done, the vocals are particularly affecting for me... I like how Cariad said he was wearing Rose Tinted glasses.She's right though, he loves her so much even though their relationship was so short...

submissions
The Kills – The Good Ones Lyrics 18 years ago
yeah I think it's about drugs, very cool as well. The vocals are damn fantastic too!

submissions
Bloc Party – Positive Tension Lyrics 18 years ago
Fantastic song! So brilliantly offensive! And the "fucking useless" bit rocks already, I would love to see it live! The whole thing just builds up to that line and it's just a breathless race to the finish afterwards...

submissions
The Maccabees – About Your Dress Lyrics 18 years ago
I think this is about a first date that goes a bit wrong... I think it shows the clumsiness of young love too
It's a great song either way
xoxo

submissions
The Maccabees – First Love Lyrics 18 years ago
first song I heard by these guys and I swear the hook is gorgeous! So pretty! I fear that people do fall in love at a young age nowadays... I guess this is what the song is mainly about.

submissions
The Maccabees – Precious Time Lyrics 18 years ago
I adore this song! The video is gorgeous as well! My sister seems to think there is a subliminal underlying message saying "We need Roadies"... Either way, its a great song! And I love the line
"You turn it into light, and you'll turn too bright", how poignant is that?
