| Land of Talk – Color Me Badd Lyrics
| 15 years ago

i think this is about wanting someone that is so perfect for you, but them not wanting you back.
"how long should anyone wait to be believed?" how long should you have to convince someone that you are right for them?
then arguing with yourself about doing so... "where did my body go, where did i leave it?"
just a guess...
plus, the vulnerability in her voice juxtaposed by the passion later on in the choruses matched by the crescendo of the instruments really makes that meaning believable to me. |

this song is so fucking good. i definitely don't think the how much's ever get to be too much. allison's character of a tough ass bitch that will give anyone hell who messes with her in the dead weather is so perfect. |

i think it's about being done with a relationship and wanting to give that person hell in the sneakiest yet meanest way possible because you are so angry with them and your relationship. and, if you think about it, this meaning makes sense in the progression on the album. it comes after 60 feet tall, which is about being addicted to someone even though you know they're bad for you. |

| Wolf Parade – Call It a Ritual Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
|
I agree with the whole war analogy, but I also think that the phrase "call it a ritual, call it whatever you will" can be applied to any situation that involves an act that needs justification because either yourself or others are telling you it is wrong. a fine example is relationships that should be over but are kept for ritual's sake |

| Broken Social Scene – Shampoo Suicide Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
the build up of this song is just ridiculously amazing.
to me, the lyrics don't really matter because it's just all about how the words sound together and the different sounds of the voices. i feel like the listener is supposed to be confused because that's how the writer felt.
looking at these lyrics (whether they're right or not) was kind of interesting though..
i do love the thought of the line "you hate it all and you still use shampoo."
i think that pretty much sums up the mood of the song. like everything's useless and jumbled and you're trying to make sense of it in your head and keep yourself together in your routines so the craziness can't completely take you over. |

| The Raconteurs – Blue Veins Lyrics

just a girl that he puts all his trust into for no good reason... but it's only her that can help him because her blood is the only blood he's known, trusted, and loved
that sounded kind of weird, but it makes sense to me haha
great great great song; the reversed part doesn't even bother me because i think it just adds to the confusion, anger, and helplessness the narrator is feeling. |

| Grizzly Bear – Colorado Lyrics

i don't think this has anything to do with technology.. it feels much more powerful to me than that.
i think it's about loving someone who couldn't give back what you wanted or needed, and it was easy for them to let you go since they didn't feel the same, but now the they're gone, you don't know what to do with yourself, even though you know it was a wrong fit. what now that you have no one to depend on, whether that person is a good or bad fit for you?
sorry that that was kind of babbling.. haha
beautiful song |

the part that most confused me about this amazing song was the "you're a rock to me." i took this as meaning that the rock was the only stable thing, and the weeds are all things that don't matter. just my input i guess |

i agree with plasticskies...
"naked as we came" is just such a brilliant line.. when you're born, your slate is clean, and same thing when you die. |

you're never going to find someone who is exactly like you, and wants and needs the same exact things as you do... if you expect to find that, you'll never be satisfied.
you're in for the longest winter (aka a depressing time) if you can't accept that things will never be perfect or exactly the way you want them. |

let's face it... the guitar isn't the cleanest thing ever, but that's just another thing that makes this song so great. the raw sound contrasts the beauty of the lyrics. great great great song that starts of an equally brilliant album. |

Everything will fall right into place
When we die, some sink and some lay
But at least I don't see you float away
And all the spilt milk, sex and weight
It all will fall, fall right into place
in the long run, nothing should really matter that much.. it's all gone in the end |

i think this song is about being in love with someone who isn't in love with you, or being in a relationship just for the sake of being in one.
the little last "it's all wrong, its all right..." is just brilliant.. so simple yet so true and complex. |

yeah when i first heard this song, i thought of alice in wonderland.. especially since i thought they lyrics were "and jump from the book"
this is such a lovely way to start off the album.. its like a dream; kind of reminds me of the same feel that "coat check dream song" by bright eyes has. its in another state of mind almost... |
