| Tegan and Sara – Sentimental Tune Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
ahhhh. the violin in this song. incredible. i think this song is about someone who is hard to love "You hate the tender-hearted torch song You catch flame to my sentiment, my sentimental tune" but the speaker sets out to prove that she can do it. i love the stubborness in the chorus. "Hard-hearted, don�t worry, I�m ready for the fight Unnerved, the nerve, you�re nervous, nervous that I�m right" |

| Maroon 5 – Sunday Morning Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
i like the angst behind this song. to put a more positive note on it, these two love each other. they cherish each other. however, they cannot stay together. they have to separate. and so it would all be ok, if only someday he somehow ends up going back to her again. sounds a lot like the situation i find myself in. i'll go away because i have to.. but the only way i will do it is if i know that someday my road will lead me back to her. |

| Jenny Owen Youngs – Drinking Song Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
i always thought she sang "it's saddest at the bottom of the botton"... *shrug* so the song, basically...feeling lonely. she's full of love she would like to give but there's no one in her life. i like how it is such a painful/sad song and then it goes into this really upbeat chorus. awesome song! |

| Jenny Owen Youngs – Voice on Tape Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
it's sort of like...a contradiction isn't it? she wants to be with this person (i want you back and forth, i want you up and down...) but she's come to the realization that she doesn't *need* him. maybe she can't reach out...maybe she's moving on...whatever the reason...his voice on tape is enough. btw...i refuse to believe that's regina spektor. it doesn't make sense? and i also thougt she was gay when i heard this song b/c duh...there's a recording of a *gril* talking and then jenny is sort of singing to her. but whatever. that doesn't really matter. |

| Tegan and Sara – Nineteen Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
sooo... Tegan has said that she used the number nineteen in a metaphorical sense...she was actually writing about feeling 19 again...and falling in love at the age of 26...which she apparently didn't think could happen. after listening to this song a million plus 5 times, i think that it's simply about meeting someone and finding yourself deeply connected to them...and it all happening very fast. then they have to part ways and neither knows where the relationship is going. btw, the drums in this song are AMZING!!! *thumbs-up* |
|
| Tegan and Sara – Dark Come Soon Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| this doesn't neccesarily have to be about a break-up (but it's a T&S song so it probably is. lol)...it can just be talking about getting hurt in some way or another and then pretending to be ok and lying about how you really feel, realizing afterwards that you can't get through it alone and so you ask your family for help. | |
| Tegan and Sara – Just Me Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
this song touches upon alot of things at once...like most of their early stuff, it is all over the place. My favorite line would have to be: "and I asked myself why love won't change so I could take your very breath away" You know, that whole being gay thing..and liking somebody who's straight. You're left wondering why can't you be like me...we would be so great together. Overall, this song is amazing. In the end, all you got is just that...yourself. |
|
| Tegan and Sara – Burn Your Life Down Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I kinda refuse to believe that the end is really about a car crash. It simply sounds so *literal* and Sara (who wrote this) usually uses alot of metaphors. It doesn't seem like her at all. Besides, I doubt she even has a driver's licence. I think this songs is about starting over...burning your life down completely. And the anxiety that causes. I would know the feeling. You lay awake the whole night thinking of all that could potentially go wrong...of all you've lost. And Sara is trying to say that in the end, it doesn't matter anyways. This is all a con...everything we build around ourselves is gone once we die (especially for those of us who don't have a defined faith that is...tegan and sara included). So why waste your time thinking about non-important stuff? |
|
| Tegan and Sara – Call It Off Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
i adore this song. it's light sounding but so emotionally charged all the same. A great way to end an even greater record. She has been waiting for someone, finally decides that "ending it" is much better than doing nothing at all. She knows she won't regret her decision (says so in the beginning) but she does know she will undoubtly question it. If that other person had come around...or maybe if she herself had done the same, they would have truly been something special. But it can't happen. And she makes her decision. And breaks her own heart in the process. |

| Tegan and Sara – The Con Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
nvmvde, After listening to this song a bizillion more times, what you just said is EXACTLY what I was thinking! Wouldn't that make so much more sense...? In the beginning, I'm starting to hear a convo. between the two involved. Like you said, she's confronting her partner. She then seems to "follow suit" and do the same thing (cheat)...maybe as a revenge. She seems to realize how messed up what she did really is...therefore the "encirlce me, I need to be taken down." |
|
| The Sounds – Hit Me Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
omg. the singer (maja, is it?) has just about the sexiest voice ever! I'm addicted to this song... as to the meaning, I agree with emo...it's a taunt. This other person wants to bring her down and she's saying "Bring it. I want to see if you can make me see lights..." Idk...I'm not usually sure about the meanings of lyrics but I'm positive that that's what this song is about. |
|
| Tegan and Sara – Celebration Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think that this song is about growing up...about having to face your future and the fact that in order to do that, you simply HAVE to leave love ones (family) behind. And sara is sorta saying "why aren't you happy that I'm moving on to better things? why are you so glum? why aren't you celebrating/rooting for me?" Just my take anyways...cute though. |

| Tegan and Sara – Love Type Thing Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song is the cutest thing ever. Yea, I think it's about a one night stand...and how the speaker stays up listening for the sound of the door...knowing that if it's openend, it is b/c the other person is leaving. She alson knows that if the person wants her, she'll take her for sure. And THAT is a "love type thing"...i hope that made sense. i really want to know what the "dark things" are...and I kind of have an idea as to what the "sweet humming" is but I'm not sure. |

| Tegan and Sara – Want to Be Bad Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| "oh, I just want to be bad" | |
| Tegan and Sara – So Jealous Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This was written by sara when she moved to montreal and felt extremelly homesick and jealous of the people back at home. At least, that's what I read somewhere. She found herself in a very complicated "love triangle" and stopped writing for a while. Her "writer's block" also inspired the song "fix you up" by tegan. So basically, she had her sister pissed at her for not communicating and she was completely alone in a new city dying of jealousy. She wanted the ocean. Hell, so do I! TnS = love So in short, |
|
| Tegan and Sara – Here I Am Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I love, love, LOVE their early stuff. It's like spoken poetry said out loud to a beat. Not that their new songs are bad or anything...they did get me hooked on them after all but still, TnS back in the day rocked! Sooo, the song...coming out. In the beginning she seems to have made her mind up about telling everybody the truth. "I'm gonna fight for the right to believe in myself I'm gonna fight for the right to release myself" She seems to realize that she should be able to experience life the same way everybody else does. "gonna take you to the end of tomorrow I will take you to the end of my world" ^^^ dont know what that means, but those lines are amazing. what really gets to me though... "RAINBOW SHIRT RIBBED IN ACID LOVE" so beautiful. =] |
|
| Tegan and Sara – Frozen Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"I'll always be there submerged and probably frozen we can only hope that I'll be frozen" ^^^ tht always gives me the feelings that she's moving forward too fast...so she hopes that when this person comes looking for her, she's still be there (frozen)...but that doesn't really make sense when considering the other lyrics so never mind lol |
|
| Tegan and Sara – Underwater Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i agree w/ frostedlemon about the speaker's infuatuation with somebody who is tough and rough. It's almost as though she wants to make herself worthy of loving her...or prove that she can love her. They're complete opposites. umm, and the "all i need is time. Time to love you" bit is saying that she will somehow win her over...she just needs time to show her she's good enough. | |

| I remember being in the 6th grade and having this mad crush on a guy and pretty much making this song my anthem for the whole year. Now, whenever I listen to it, I'm left wondering what I liked so much about it...it's a good song but I no longer see the "awesomeness" in it. Cute though. | |

|
| Tegan and Sara – Beauty Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think this song is about being selfish...because you are forced to protect yourself...and then losing somebody because of it. You were so blinded. You never thought you would miss that person. You never thought you'd be so "hungry" for them. It's about being closeted. And it talks about that wall you build. "I want power in my words I want passion in my eyes And when I wake up I want life to be a surprise" |
|
| Tegan and Sara – Come on Kids Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I dont understand how this song isn't about drugs. I mean, yea the beginning can be related to flying but what about the pills reference and the life some lose because of them? "we’ve got cities to visit we’ve got trees we’ve yet to live in" I love those lines! They make me all happy and positive, thinking of all the places I can go and the adventures that await me. :] Tegan and Sara = |

| Tegan and Sara – Empty in Between Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| no wait, person *2* likes person *1* and it is person *2* who is left empty handed. ok that just made it more confusing. lol nvm ppl | |
| Tegan and Sara – Empty in Between Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Sounds like it's about person 1 who seems to think highly of themselves. They "wear that superstar status" on their shoulder. Person 2 and person 1 go on a date. Person 1 really likes #2 ("love, you're breaking me oh and love, you're shaking me") but she's literally left empty in between. Not even a kiss?? |
|
| Tegan and Sara – All You Got Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"t's not really wrong, it's not really right I'm wide awake" welcome to the world of most gay people who have just reakized which way they lean. Is it right? Is it wrong? Who the hell knows. "her confusion is in the night that I stumbled it's in the morning that I that I struggled because I start to forget but she will always remember" sounds an awful lot like she (friend 1) took a relationship w. a friend (friend 2) to the next level...and friend 2 is confused about supposedly straight friend 1s behavior the night that she "stumbled". Friend 1 "struggles" in the morning when she realizes what she has done. She begins to forget, but friend 2 will always remember. In the end, fiend 1 finds that all she ever needed was friend 2 so this amazing relationship begins to take shape. |
|
| Tegan and Sara – Nineteen Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"I felt you in my legs before I even met you" Funny. I never thought of Tegan as overtly sexual. Anybody else think that maybe she meant something other than feeling (her) between her legs? Maybe the girl made her weak in the knees? Maybe the girl made her stay rooted to the spot w/ shock...? This song is definitely about a first. Maybe love. Maybe it has to do w/ sex. She's remembering a person that impacted her greatly when she was nineteen. Just my opinion anyways. |

|
| Tegan and Sara – Back in Your Head Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
When I first heard this I was thinking what the hell?! It seemed so...poppy. And I know Tegan and Sara are pop...the good kind, but still, I was just a little bit freaked out. However, it has grown on me and now I love it. :] I think it's about a relationship sort of going stale when one of the two involved changes. "Build a wall of books between us in our bed" sorta makes me picture an old married couple reading on their bed, a pile of books at their sides. Where's the romance/passion? "Repeat, repeat the words that I know we both said." Idk, doesnt that sound a little bit too dry? I think she's talking about "I love you"...but the way she sings it, it almost sounds as though the words have no meaning anymore. "Remember when I was so strange and likeable" The main reason why this distance exists between them now. One of them has changed. And that person wants nothing more than to get back in her head. "I'm not unfaithful But I'll stray" She seems to fail at that continually and so she strays, never being unfaithful but definitely flirting w/ others. |
|
| Tegan and Sara – Where Does the Good Go Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This is the song that got me hooked on tegan and sara. > "It's love that leaves that breaks the seal of...." Which would actually make more sense. When the love "leaves", you're pretty much broken. "Where do you go when you're in love and the world knows" I also think this is a reference to liking somebody but not being completely out yet. So you're faced w/ all of this new emotions and obstacles. "How do you live so happily while I am sad and broken down" The person seems to continue with his/her life w/o missing a beat while you're left torn to pieces...wondering how they manage to do that. AND the chorus..."Look me in the eye and tell me you don't find me attractive Look me in the heart and tell me you won't go Look me in the eye and promise no love's like our love Look me in the heart and un break broken, it won't happen" What she wants...but knows she won't get. |
|
| Tegan and Sara – The Con Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
wow. What can i say about this song? I agree with jbabylove. I think it's about cheating as well. My sister recently went thru an affair. I don't know how many times I've cried while listening to this. It sounds to me like she cheated on her girlfriend while on tour...hence the "I'm home now. I'm coming around. I'm coming around," once she's done touring. She's obvioulsy feeling bad about it...and sorta wants to punish herself. "Pain of heart. Don't call me back." She has spent a alot of time thinking of her and thinking of "that." Yet at the same time, she wants to take the easy way out and cry...hoping her GF will feel pity and forgive her. That is the "edge of safe" she's staring at. "Encicle me, I need to be taken down." Just like Owls said, she has lost herself. She knows how many she has hurt. Maybe she can't stop. Somebody needs to bring her back down to earth. Those are my interpretations anyways. Whatever it means, I can most defintely feel the anguish and pain this is supposed to convey. Gosh, songs like this remind me of how much I love tegan and sara. |
