| The Spinto Band – Mountains Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| im glad im not the only one, i was beginning to think i might have some weird freudian obsession with ben affleck. | |
| Born Ruffians – Red, Yellow, & Blue Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| The first time i listened to the album, i didnt think much of this as an opener. But now i love it, the lyrics are so simple but fantastic. it makes you wonder how noone thought of it before, like the lyrical version of the toaster. | |
| Tokyo Police Club – In a Cave Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
the lyrics, in particular, the opening verse: I threw darts at a spinning globe Swapping out passport photos I walk west to the setting sun Every single step, I grow Another second young really reminds me of the book Join Me about Danny Wallace. I doubt very much its about that though. |

| Lipps, Inc. – Funkytown Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think the songs about a woman. Who wants to go to funkytown. And she's looking for someone to take her. |

| MGMT – Time to Pretend Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I agree with MyChaosDream. To me, it sounds more like theyre mocking all of the cliche rockstar lifestylr than actually wanting to be part of it. Especially the line, "The models will have children, we'll get a divorce, we'll find some more models." |

| The Wombats – Let's Dance To Joy Division Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
i'm a massive joy division fan and i think its disgusting that people are calling this a slur against joy division. any form of celebration of joy division's music should be encouraged, you cant just choose whos allowed to like joy division and who isn't. it's not songs like this that put me off liking joy division, its fans that think people should "take their own lives" for liking a song with joy division in the name. it does annoy me a bit that people are dancing to this instead of actually dancing to joy division, but if one wombats fan hears this song and decides to listen to some joy division and falls in love with joy division, then the songs been worth while cos it's introduced someone to a great band and a new JD fan has been born. we weren't all lucky enough to be born in 1960, so we could boast about experiencing joy division first hand. i didnt get into them til 24 hour party people, which im sure is shocking for all the hardcore fans, but i was only 13 at the time, the band ended 10 years before i was born. |

"Now I'm reaping benefits" I always used to think that said "Now I'm raping Ben Affleck." which i found funny, rather disapointed it doesnt say that now :( Not that i've got anything against him, i just found it really random. Great song nevertheless though, cant see the strokes resemblance myself though. |

| Straylight Run – Existentialism on Prom Night Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"The whole concept of existentialism is that God is dead" No its not, a belief in existentialism suggests that you dont believe in a God, but religious beliefs and existentialist beliefs arent mutually exclusive. it's possible a God designed a world that was existentialist, as much as it is that he designed a world where everything is destined. |

| The Wombats – Let's Dance To Joy Division Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i love this song and i think its about just having fun despite the fact that everythings not going too well, and the title itself is the metaphor for this since theyre dancing to a band whos lyrics focus a lot on the darker side of the life. | |
| Shout Out Louds – Very Loud Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
completely agree with Scwab. i love this song so much. |
|
| Interpol – The Scale Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
just got the new album today. i have no clue what the songs about but "You think they know us now? Wait 'til the stars come out." is my favourite line of the album. such a great lyric and the way he sings it is amazing. |

| Hope of the States – January Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I want to be a kid again I want to wash my eyes out I want to mean evry thing i say And never be scared again I refuse to be ashamed However many doomed attempts it takes To forget my history All my mistakes and every thing I waste i honestly believe that is the best opening verse to a song ever. |
|
| Secret Machines – Alone, Jealous and Stoned Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
i read an interview with the singer (brandon curtis?), where he said that the song was about returning home from tour, expecting just to be part of family and friends etc again, the same old usual stuff, but returning to find everyones grown and changed and he felt like an outside, and spent a lot of time in his old room. thats obviously paraphrased, but it was along those lines. |

| Voxtrot – Brother In Conflict Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I turned my back on beauty, it's a manmade crime my favourite line of the whole album. |
|
| Voxtrot – Steven Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| its called stephen on my album :S | |
| Arcade Fire – Windowsill Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i know the lyrics are all metaphorical and about america, but i love these lyrics at face value, plainly because i was in a situation where my father left my family with lots of debt last year, and i don't live in America. so they relate so much to me on a direct level, i do understand the deeper meaning though. | |
| Joy Division – Disorder Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
the guy who said his voice sounds boring is entitled to his opinion, but in my opinion is so mistaken. his vocals through the song sound so intense, and he might have the most technically brilliant voice ever, but in my opinion, hes got one of the most beautiful. So few singers have this amount of passion in their voice nowadays, the only two i can think of off the top of my head are Conor Oberst and Sam Herlihy. This is one of my favourite songs by Joy Division, i love the intro and the opening line. Im considering gettting it tatooed onto my wrist, bit cliche, but i just think its such a great line, especially when he sings it. |
