| Regina Spektor – Eet Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The thing you have to understand, is that Regina is still Regina. If you see her live, it's still just her and her piano and her guitar and a small backing band. This album is just evidence that she's trying to break out to a more mainstream audience at this point. She still has every ounce of integrity, and I have the deepest respect for her as an artist. Especially as an artist that almost always does completely "unplugged" shows. Just thank the gods that her producers didn't put her on autotune for every song. "far" is AMAZING, and I can't believe that just because her studio sound is changing that you're just going to say that her songs are shit. |

Amazing song, but "Don't" should be attached to "live in forgotten times".. Since that's what the line is saying: "Don't live in forgotten times" The choral work in this song is what makes it amazing for me. Absolutely incredible. |

The line in the chorus is actually "We just have had enough of us." Also, this song is about the end of a relationship. The whole cd sort of mimics the typical cycle of a relationship, and also Girl Talk Remix is the best thing you'll ever hear. |

| Bright Eyes – Take It Easy (Love Nothing) Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I love this song. It feels like the underscoring changes slightly in each verse. The first verse (the friendship-turned-sexual), it's happy and light, because they're having fun and doing what they want. The second verse (the break up) removes most of the musical underscoring and adds heavy drums. The third verse ("I lie through my teeth") brings really intense guitars put together with all the previous underscoring. The music underneath the lyrics is what helps this song progress for me. I feel like Conor really tells a well-shaped tale in this song. One of my favorites on this album. |

@ fevers + mirrors: I think you're right. Conor is acting as Margo, trying to slow the inevitable (Mitchell moving). The desperation in his voice really hits me. When he sings, "Placed it round my neck" it sounds almost like he holds the note longer than his lungs would allow him to, and at the same time like he's breaking down and crying. And then the last stanza really shines with emotion. |

My personal interpretation, which has nothing to do with Conor's personal life or anything, but merely my interpretation: I think the song is about how everything ends. With continuous references about things seeming like a good idea, or looking glamorous in one moment, and then becoming ugly or a bad idea in the next moment really speak to me about endings. The verse that I think gave me this idea was the third verse: "And I know you have a heavy heart". It's like, he knows even before he starts any kind of relationship with this woman, that it will end. It may be due to his personal choice, "But me I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split", but it's still his acceptance that everything has to come to an end. Is this a good interpretation? I'm pretty terrible at finding song meanings or whatever, because I never take into account the artist's feelings, but only my own.. ha.. |
