| Armor for Sleep – Slip Like Space Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This song it about the profound alienation one feels from humanity. It emphasizes the utter isolations we all feel at one time or another, but the subject of the song feels it so intensely, every day, that he needs to leave the planet. And I identify wholly with him. He has put to music something I've felt since I can remember. I just need to get away from humanity. | |
| Stars – Calendar Girl Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think this is a song about a girl who's different. she feels totally alienated from the rest of humanity. I think she finds a lot of beauty in living, even though she's all alone. Her fear of being alone causes her to dream about dying and when she thinks about leaving the beauty of the world behind she can't stand the though. She loves the world, but is misunderstood. i think it shows how she is separate from the world by the like: 'calendar girl, who is lost to the world' she's 'lost' to the world because they don't understand her. i think the friend on the landing is her gaurdian or something like that. or someone who wants to get to know her, but can't. The lines: 'all of the things I thought were so easy/just got harder and harder each day' illustrate how hard it is to be okay with being separate from everyone else to the point where it seemed really futile. i think this song is really hopeful. it really made me feel connected with someone. i love this song. |
