Snow Patrol – Cubicles Lyrics 16 years ago
He loves this girl. He realy does. But there's no hunger, no thirst. Which there has to be. Otherwise they're just two pupeteering fools.

Snow Patrol – Chased By...I Don't Know What Lyrics 16 years ago
'Please try to control your feelings. It doesn't make me want you more'
So he's done some shit. Girl gets angry. Starts throwing stuff, fuming and being an all around hysterical woman like most. But men hate this. It scares them. I hope should I ever get some shit done to me, that I can rise above it, be the bigger person, walk away with my dignity intact. But I won't be able to do that. I'll be chaisng something...but I won't know what.

Snow Patrol – Brave Lyrics 16 years ago
Gary once, after drinking too much, fell down the stairs in the Glasgow School of Arts. He could have died. If only....that's the thoght that comes into most people's mids at least a hundred times every day.

Snow Patrol – Black And Blue Lyrics 16 years ago
Black and blue...I'm guessing he's been bruised. Maybe punched because the girl he's been visiting is out of bounds. But as a sort of addiciton, he keeps comibg back for more. To me, the guitars throughout this song sound like the two are having quick, rough almost painful sex trying to get it done before anyone discovers them. As they kae love, both sink into a perpetually dark hole, which they both know they will never be able to crawl out of. Purely my interpratation but that's what Snow Patrol gives us. Freedom, to think and do with their perfect words what you will.

Snow Patrol – Batten Down The Hatch Lyrics 16 years ago
Maybe the guests in this song are people trying to invade a relationship. They're trying to break two people up and cracks are beginning to show. I love how things make sense one year on.

Snow Patrol – Ask Me How I Am Lyrics 16 years ago
THe thing about Snow Patrol songs is that they look back retrospectively. The dark days were there. But mostly they're gone. No more falling down stairs or three day Guiness benders. It's over now.

Snow Patrol – Absolute Gravity Lyrics 16 years ago
It's sad to think, that on our petty little thing we like to call Earth, we feel like this about people. Walking down the street, you always see someone that interests you, or you're attracted to. But (or at least if you're as insecure and unconfident and overanalytical as me) you never will approach them. This song is about a kid, you can tell that in the way it's written. Just how primitave and far fetched their thinking is. But it's all about the fact that he thinks she's too good for him. Well, no. Everyone sits to go down to the toilet, so no-one's different.

Snow Patrol – If I'd Found The Right Words To Say Lyrics 17 years ago

Id do anything for you but just Snow Patrol version instead of cheesy Bryan Adams or whatever his name is. The thing about SP is that you have to dig deep into their and your darkest fabrics.

Snow Patrol – Half the Fun Lyrics 17 years ago
This song is a work of art. Relationship in ruins because girl is slightly coo-coo. Some songs of Snow Patrol's suggests Gary had a girlfriend which turned out to be slightly lets say...slow. Velocity Girl, Downhill from here, balsamic vingear, the last shot ringing in my ears and this...I dunno maybe.

Snow Patrol – Gleaming Auction Lyrics 17 years ago
Auctions to me are the epitomy of loneliness. Dunno if any of you like em but when I see someone sitting alone at an auction buying used antique crap it just makes me think get a life. Maybe he's thinking he should auction himself of and not deal with this disasterous relationship anymore.

I love the first 4 lines. Sums up how I feels about one of my friends. I would say that yes, it is a pretend friend. Cause we've all been there havent we. We may have had a little companion in our heads that we find hard to give up.

Snow Patrol – Days Without Paracetamol Lyrics 17 years ago

Snow Patrol – Chocolate Lyrics 17 years ago
Maybe, about that feeling where you just dont matter and you realise your problems are just a drop in a gigantic ocean. Cause thats the truth, youre nothing more than a speck. In this song he either rises up to the occasion and does something with himself, or stays as he is...worthless.

submissions
Snow Patrol – Chasing Cars Lyrics 17 years ago
Even though this song has got so much airplay and started to annoy everyone, I think It is a poetic image painted by Gary about that feeling where time stops and all you care about is one person. That moment may last only a milisecond or a lifetime...however long it is, it is captured in this song.

Snow Patrol – Ask Me How I Am Lyrics 17 years ago
Garys problems with illicit substances (very posh) are a great material for bitter songs. I d leave a message I was out...out of my mind on drink and drugs. Just a sour image of a guy who doesnt care anymore. Not one of their best songs but still amazing.

Snow Patrol – An Olive Grove Facing the Sea Lyrics 17 years ago
I love this song. Whenever I listen to this song it reminds of a place I went to in Italy. Blue skies behind a crisp cliff looking over a perfect azure blue sea where young people bathed. In just imagine a young boy hiding behind a rock with some jeuvinile swimming trunks his mum bought him looking at a girl and wishing she was his. She doesn't even know he's there and is preoccupied with herself. Such a clear pure song. Love it so much.

Snow Patrol – Absolute Gravity Lyrics 17 years ago
He's seen a girl that is way beyon his petty little league and just has teenage kicks about her. Oh my god she's get it up her backside...thats what hes trying to say. Not a deep hidden meaning, just a message about how guys think.

Snow Patrol – T.M.T. Lyrics 17 years ago
Mind fuck that Gary Lightbody. Amazing song. No-one can make songs like this anymore. Look at the songs that are high in the charts now. Fucking Flo Rida and Chris Brown. All they can think of is slapping bootys. Fuck them. Theyre talentless. I mean that. Everybody who thinks they're real musicisand need a good punch.

Snow Patrol – Ways and Means Lyrics 17 years ago
Had to comment now...after an experience which is perfect for this song. My brother had a girlfriend and when they stayed with us for 2 weeks for christmas, i gained an insight into their relationship...perfectly captured in this song.

Getting too busy to make amends
I should try to make it right
^^^A couple are always fighting and the guy feels pressured to make up just because the not speaking relationship is really dreary.
Are you ready for the shit to hit
I think you say you are but aren't
^^^^He wants to tell her he doesnt love her but feels that it would be too big of a blow for her. She's too weak to take the truth.
Doctor make it better instantly
You're the only one who can
^^^He can't find solace in his girlfriend so he feels like he needs medical help from all the pain he has
I've waited here my whole damn life
And I've forgotten what I wanted
^^^After being in a forced relationship for what seems like a lifetime, he's forgotten all his hopes and dreams (in my bro's case becomeing a movie director and stuff)
Maybe I can do it
If I put my back into it
^^^Maybe, the guy will just have to grit his teeth through the whole relationship and pretend he loves the girl even though he doesnt.
I can leave you if I wanted
But there's nowhere else that I can go
^^^^he knows a break up is immininemt but he cant do it because he's in so deep
Maybe I won't suffer
If I find a way to love here
^^^^Its her not here. He will bear a loveless relation ship and fool himself that he loves this girl...even though inside it'll all be empty.
I'd be lying to myself
But there is no way out that I can see
^^^^He'd be lying to himself and to her but thats just the easy and cowardly eay out
If I lied you'd know it instantly
So I just had to look away
^^^^He can't tell her he loves her anymore because itd be a lie and she'd know so they live a relationship thts plain and boring
All the honesty I've ever lost
I can't begin to even curse
^^^He's realised that he's turned into a lying and manipulative person and he hates himself too much he cant even express how
I never knew the taste of blood till now
It's clear I never should have known
^^^^The blood is like the bitter taste in his mouth telling him what a wrong thing he's doing and he hates it
Breathing fire was never this much fun
So there's a dark side in us all
^^^He lashes out at all around him *breathes fire per se* and then he notes theres a dark side in us all so he pardons himself from being so cruel.

Just my view based on personal experience. Never realised how great the lyrics were until properly reading them. Snow patrol...nothing I can say except that I love you

Snow Patrol – Spitting Games Lyrics 18 years ago
I broke into your house last night
And left a note at your bed-side
-this is just him saying what lengths he'd go to for this\girl
Im far too shy to speak to you at school
You leave me numb and im not sure why-me, being in this situation makes so much sense.,when she looks at you you just freeze and there's nothing special about the girl, just for you

I find it easier to sit and stare
Than push my limbs out to you right there
-he's shy so he feels more comfortable admiring from a distance then actually doing anything. Oh, how true. JONATHAN, I HOPE YOU ARE READING THIS!
My heart is bursting in your perfect eyes
As blue as oceans and as pure as skies
-and well, this is just sweet.

I struggle for the words, and then give up
My head's up with the birds in the t-hut
-he thinks what he's going to say over and over until saying ah, hell! then the t-hut bit is like he's actually talking about the girls that he might be able to score with in the t-hut birds being girls (just a thought)
A little piece of mind that I know better
Than the plain disgrace of all my letters
-this is soo good. everytime he sends a letter he just falls deeper and deeper into the imagination she likes him

But after that the floodgates opened up
And i fell in love with everyone i saw
-and then, he probably sees that she's not so specal and the world opens to him and every girl that talks to him, he finds he is in love with
Please take your time im not in any rush
And its in everything i ever write
-and now, he's taking things one at a time, just breezing through life
Its not as if i need the extra weight
confused enough by life, so thanks a lot
-i love this bit. Thanks a lot, is like 'cheers' for increasing the weight of my shoulders. like his voice is breaking AND that girl wont go out with him.
Lonely written words for company
Just raise the roof this once and follow me
-and now he likes the first girl again, saying that he misses her and pleads for her to consider him, step out of the comfort zone man.

weird i know. but this song is so good.

Snow Patrol – When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up Lyrics 18 years ago
Oh, the way he sings this one. I would just kill him. It's so amazing. My fingers just tense up and I go all frozen the first time he says "You're Not Fair". Great title too. I love the way it is the name of the Album. It seems that even when the two people the song is concerning (aka Lightbody and his ex) are apart, still they play a big part in each others lives. As in, The End is never really the End! I relate!

I love the way when he says "Don't be scared of anything at all" he breathes really loud. It's penetrating. That was the moment when I thought "Oh god, I'm in love!"

Snow Patrol – The Finish Line Lyrics 18 years ago
was listening to this song not long ago and i discovered its meaning. DEATH! AND WHAT A DEATH IT IS! The lyrics are beautiful, so just to be annoying...


The earth is warm next to my ear
Insects noise is all that I hear
-He is lying on the floor, he is not dead yet, all he can begin to fathom is that the blood coming out of him is warm and all he can hear is the tiniest sound of crickets or summat, he is in shock but has realized what is going on-
A magic trick makes the world disappear
The skies are dark, they're dark but they're clear
-his accident or suicide is compared to a magic trick maybe hinting he was the one to kill himself, all he can see is the dark night sky which looks like a beacon-

A distant motorcade and suddenly there's joy
The snow and tickertape blurs all my senses numb
-the motorcade is police or ambulances and he's probably taking in the sounds as his last moments of happiness or importance. The snow is cooling him making all his body cold and motionless. the ticker tape is what the police uses to seclude the crime scene so all of it makes him weaker than he already is.
It's like the finish line where everything just ends
The crack of radios seems close enough to touch
-He's giving up now, he begins to realise this is the end and his life is so quickly going to be over. the vrack of radios refers to the crack of the police radios and its the last thing he ever hears-

Cold water, cleaning my wounds
A side parade, with a single balloon
-cold water as they clean his wounds is soothing him. the parade is probably a procession to his funeral. the word said to me doesn't mean the people are sad, its like the whole event is sad and pointless, he hates mourners.-
I'm done with this, I'm counting to ten
Blue as seas, running to them
-he's fed up of all this fuss, he's going to say goodbye now, by wishing them good luck, to make the oceans run to them. he loves the people mourning for him but he's fed up as hell-

I feel like I am watching everything from space
And in a minute I hear my name and I wake
-he's alone now, and it looks like everything is so small and insignificant, just loads of people dying all the time and he just watches over it, but the feeling of non-existance is so surreal to him, he still believes he's not really dead. he expects it all to be a dream, and to wake up to find himself alive-
I think the finish line's a good place we could start
Take a deep breath, take in all that you could want
-but he'd rather stay dead, and he's just hoping someone joins him for a fresher start. hes soaked up all he could from his old life and now he wants to start afresh...with the girl he died for maybe?-

sounds pretty grim i know, but this is how i interpret it. whatever , its a great song that everyone should hear

Oh God! The lyrical master that is Lightbody will not rest with thelyrics that seem to make sense to everyone, even if they hadn't been in that particulat situation! This reminds me of this 13 year old guy who is getting spots and croaking with his voice who is convinced he's love with a pretty girl (too young to be in love, too old to just forget it) and is singing a song about his desperation to be noticed and smiled at,adding sarcastic remarks to the fact the target girl will never notice he exists anyway! Love the song, love the lyrics, love the band. Love the Lightbody
