Death Cab for Cutie – Cath... Lyrics 15 years ago
Yeah I had the same thought.
They're both definitely part of a tragic wedding theme.

Cloud Cult – Car Crash Lyrics 17 years ago
OH MY JESUS.
That is scary.
I have goosebumps.

Also, I LOVE this song.
And I love the "keychain wedding ring" line. I love how that part in emphasized.

Cloud Cult has become the one thing for which I'm proud of Minnesota.
They are amazing.

Andrew Bird – Fake Palindromes Lyrics 17 years ago
Also, formaldehyde is what ferments in the liver after excessive alcohol consumption.

Maybe he's saying she ends up drinking too much (so much she converts her blood into formaldehyde), hanging out at bars looking for her 6-foot-tall east-coast grads. She's trying to be so extravagant because she's trying to get attention from these guys.
And she should be dead by now considering how much she drinks.

Andrew Bird – Fake Palindromes Lyrics 17 years ago
I think it's just about a dangerous and really extravagant girl - so extravagant, it's almost unreal (cartoonish..Disney-like..), who really catches his attention.
But she has high standards, and is out to get everyone else.
Maybe he gets with her once though, and it's supposed to stay at that... But it doesn't, because she's drilled a whole into his head - she's left her mark, and she'll always linger in his mind.
At the same time, she could care less. She wants to inflict pain and suffering, and leave her lovers confused, but somehow wanting more.

Maybe I'm oversimplifying it.

The Decemberists – O Valencia! Lyrics 17 years ago
This actually made me feel like the "gang" he speaks of is her family.
As if they're really tight-nit and unnaccepting of outsiders. He's dramatizing it because of the lengths they've gone to protect their daughter from straying away...

Cloud Cult – When Water Comes to Life Lyrics 17 years ago
I love this song.

But I've suddenly become convinced that the instrumental part of the intro is at least incredibly similar to a specific Andrew Bird song. But I can't figure out which one. It's really bothering me..!

Bah!
Am I just insane?

Motion City Soundtrack – Where I Belong Lyrics 18 years ago
I agree with you, titlenregistration.
But I think there may be more to this song for some reason. It just seems like the songs on the new album might not be as simple as usual.

Possibly about politics??

This makes me happy.

I think it fits with the message in Hello Helicopter, which is the track right before it.

Motion City Soundtrack – This Is For Real Lyrics 18 years ago
..Oh, and since the full song is actually out now, I thought I'd post my best shot at these lyrics....

I've got emotion
Dripping out my pores and I
Thought I would let you know
You are the night light
Ripping through my wicked world
How you make it sparkle and glow.
Before, I lose control,
There's just one thing you should know

This is for real,
This time I mean it.
I'm coming clean,
Please don't let go.
I said from the start
That you could take it or leave it,
Prefer that you keep it
Don't let go,
Don't let go,
Don't let go.

I had some nightmares
Clawing at my skin and bones
I nearly did explode.
You smote the demons,
(^^Or at least that's what makes the most sense. However, it could still be "smoked". I know, it's strange. But it wouldn't be the first time MCS has written some weird lyrics)
Gave me back my feelings
Now I am good to go.
Before my face hits the floor
There's just one thing you should know

This is for real,
This time I mean it.
I'm coming clean,
Please don't let go.
I said from the start
That you could take it or leave it,
I prefer that you keep it
Don't let go.

This is the best thing I've ever had for real
This is the best thing I've ever had for real

For a physical challenge
I'm victoriously...bored/born??
(^^I know, "wtf", right?? This is the ONE line I just don't understand/can't hear well enough...)
Intravenous delivery,
Electrolytes and more.
Every time it's the same routine -
Out with the bad,
In with the clean.
Before I lose all motor skills
There's one thing you should know

This is for real,
This time I mean it.
I'm coming clean,
Please don't let go.
I said from the start
That you could take it or leave it,
I prefer that you keep it
Don't let go!

This is the best thing that I've ever had for real
This is the best thing that I've ever had for real
This is the best thing that I've ever had for real
This is the best thing that I've ever had for real

=D

..But for the actual MEANING of the song...
It's pretty obviously about Justin's drug addictions (again..lol). And having someone who's actually there for him, who wants him to get through it, who's there for him for everything. She SAVES him, and he's so thankful to have her in his life. He's saying that he can and will get through his problems with her by his side. Because SHE'S real, and the way his life is with drugs ISN'T. (That's my take on the whole "this is for real thing". Well, that and he's being honest this time. He's actually giving up his addictions. At least in the song)
I think it's much easier to get the meaning once you have the last verse. (Or at least most of it. lol my bad)

Thanks for putting the lyrics up here!! Wow, you're awesome!

This song is so incredibly beautiful..it's truly inspiring. I knew I'd love it the first time I heard those 45secs on that Even If It Kills Me webisode. =P

Sadly, it hasn't been pirated yet, so you have to buy it on iTunes. (Haha)

Senses Fail – Buried A Lie Lyrics 18 years ago
I think it's definitely about trying to save a relationship that's falling apart.

But, I disagree with the people that said it's about someone ELSE ruining their relationship...or the girl cheating on him, etc.

I think the reason this song is so upbeat and a little "pop-ish" is because the person is trying to be positive about this whole situation. He "killed" her inside by emotionally hurting her. She leaves him and now he's trying to be affectionate and caring. He wants her back and he knows now that he was the one that murdered her. She didn't just get cold and heartless.
