| Tunng – Bullets Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
i always had a feeling this song was dark. but after watching the episode of weeds with this song, it actually makes sense to think about it as someone being interrogated/tortured: "We're catching bullets in our teeth It's hard to do but they're so sweet" could mean pulling teeth physically out of the mouth/getting shot in the mouth "And if they take a couple out We try to work things out" the person is willing to cooperate since pulling teeth is painful. can also be pulling teeth in the metaphorical sense to get an answer. "We catching bullets with our Heads and hearts and all the darkest parts of us" being shot at "We're catching bullets in our teeth And though they try hard not to say how it's done They always do They spill the secret out six ways And beg for our forgiveness" they try hard not to give in but they always do. and then they try to beg for their lives. the whole so sweet to lose a friend, one of their partners may have been captured/killed and they are now at the funeral. cutting off fingers to get extra insight, to persuade them to remember/tell what they know. im really hopping this isnt what was in mind when the song was written, but it fits pretty well. it's probably a more broad meaning like trying to get the truth out of a friend and how there are arguments and fights and what not while trying to do so. it's just one of those "i'm in a dark place" songs for me. |

| Snow Patrol – Firelight Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| this song reminds me of the book the hero and the crown. there's a part towards the end of the book (i haven't read it in forever) when the main character is going home with her guide (?) and they are camping. and at night, they are sitting by the fire and they end up getting romantically involved. and i'm almost sure its says something like "they didn't get much sleep that night" or along those lines. but the first time i heard this song, i was immediately reminded of that book. | |

| even though they really have no connection, this song reminds me of the short story A White Heron by Sarah Orne Jewett. | |
| Augustana – Feel Fine Lyrics | 17 years ago |

ok, my version of the song starts off with you are my friend so why don't you care i am afraid, i am afraid. but then after that, it doesn't have any of those lyrics, it's just "we lie(?), i feel fine," repeated over and over. i'm really confused. and when i search for the lyrics, i keep getting different verisons. |
