The Postal Service – Such Great Heights Lyrics 15 years ago
And I have to speculate
That God himself did make us
Into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay

This part always reminds me of Paradise Lost (Which I remember only because it's the epigraph to Frankenstein):
"Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay
To mould man? Did I solicit thee
From darkness to promote me?"

This song is perfect!

Bright Eyes – It's Cool, We Can Still Be Friends Lyrics 16 years ago
there is nothing to say that hasn't been said. when i first heard this song, i could only sympathize with the raw emotion. now i can empathize and it is even more piercing, striking, and poignant.

Against Me! – The Ocean Lyrics 17 years ago
Tom said this song is related to the lyrics of "Searching For a Former Clarity" and "The Disco Before The Breakdown". But he didn't reveal what he meant by the line "If I could have chosen, I would have been born a woman", he said he wanted to leave it up to personal interpretation.

Jaymay – Sea Green, See Blue Lyrics 17 years ago
this song is sort of heartbreaking.
it has so much nostalgia.
He left her, she talks about all the things she misses.
September 2 to April 13, probably how long she has gone on without him, but she says "but who's counting" to make it seem as if she does not care that much.
She regrets not saying what she should have when she had the chance. I love the last stanza about how she left him to be with his art, it shows conflicting feelings, the confusion of love and relationships.

Jaymay – Gray Or Blue Lyrics 17 years ago
I think it's about a girl and guy who are best friends. They kissed, it made things weird. He confessed feelings for her "don't second guess your feelings, you were right from the start". She wants to get together with him, but waited too long and she can't have successful relationships with any other guys because he is still on her mind. "I'm with another boy, he's asleep I'm wide awake. He can try to win my heart but it's taken..."

this song is so relatable.
I agree with both trentmil and embeminem.

Born Ruffians – Red Elephant Lyrics 17 years ago
this song to me seems to go back and forth between being in love and having lost it and the gamut of emotions that are felt.
is it just me or could red elephant be a metonym for something sexual?

What Made Milwaukee Famous – Sultan Lyrics 17 years ago
to me, this reminds me of regretful sentiments post-breakup.
you need to get rid of your past to forget the relationship.
you need to get rid of the memories or else "they're never going to leave you alone."
probably a messy breakup in my opinion, since he mentions not wanting the truth to be told, and also talks about "are you in or are you out" which could allude to an on-off sort of relationship.

The Cat Empire – In my Pocket Lyrics 18 years ago
"on each street is a tree
in the distance the desert sleeps "

reminds me of Cittagazzee and the hornbeam trees in the Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman.
