Florence + the Machine – Strangeness and Charm Lyrics 14 years ago
I honestly don't know what she's saying after 'An equation heaven sent' but I don't think it rhymes with 'inject'.

Anyway this is a lovely song, I was kind of expecting it to actually have some higher level scientific metaphors in it but they aren't there really. i think the point of the song is 'I'm so in love with my boyfriend, it's so magical a bit like science which is also kind of magical cos i don't know much about it'. And I don't mean that in a sneering nasty way, but she's obviously watched a couple of science documentaries then written a love song.

Kelis – emancipate Lyrics 15 years ago
the first bit of this song is so annoying - she does not need to say it 16 times in a row. but then as soon as the bit about the phoenix starts, amazing.

Crystal Castles – Not in Love Lyrics 15 years ago
this is the weakest song on the album. the vocals are annoying. but the bit at towards the end where all the synth layers build up is nice.

I hope cc actually asked her/paid some money to sample that track, they don't exactly have the best track record on that side of things.

Crystal Castles – Baptism Lyrics 15 years ago
xxzxcuzxyou - I was about to comment saying i thought you had got that the third line wrong, and that to me it sounded more like 'it's only god who'll stop this bleeding' but did a quick re-listen just now and you are definitely right. Well done sir.

Crystal Castles – Year of Silence Lyrics 15 years ago
This has lyrics! - it's from the last verse of Inní Múr Syngur Vitleysingur by Sigur Rós.

In the original it is

Minn besti vinur hverju sem dynur
Ég kyngi tári og anda hári
Illum látum, í faðmi grátum
Þegar að við hittumst
Þegar að við kyssumst
Varirnar brenndu, höldumst í hendur
Ég sé þig vakinn
Ég sé þig nakinn
Inní mér syngur vitleysingur
Alltaf þið vaða, við hlaupum hraðar
Allt verður smærra, ég öskra hærra
Er er við aða, í burtu fara

but I think the general slowed down repeated bit cuts out most of it so it's just:

Illum látum, í faðmi grátum
Þegar að við hittumst
Þegar að við kyssumst

with other bits layered on top.

Translation:

My best friend no matter whatever happens
I swallow tears and breathe hair
A bad break, we cry in each other arms
When we meet
When we kiss
The lips burning, we hold hands
I see you waking
I see you naked
Inside me a lunatic sings
Always rushing, we run quickly
Everything becomes smaller
I scream louder
I'm with a shell, going away

Parallels – Dry Blood Lyrics 15 years ago
such a brilliant song. it's so simple, literally the same four chords all the way through, but just amazing.

the lyrics aren't really the focus but guessing it's alluding to a failed relationship and still having feelings for the other person, i'm guessing the 'it' could be picking up a box of clothes or something from an ex maybe.

Fever Ray – If I Had a Heart Lyrics 16 years ago
this song is definitely hyperbole. i don't think it's quite to the point of depression, more the moment after the labour is over when she's so exhausted and can't even think about loving the child. she knows in the morning she will be happy and love this child but in the moment she's just glad that giving birth is over. i don't think it actually means she couldn't build a connection with her newborn baby for a prolonged amount of time.

liking this, it's not exactly mindblowing but it's a good bit of pop balladry

Emmy the Great – On The Museum Island Lyrics 16 years ago
i think it's possibly about the son of a nazi after the end of the war. all the bits about berlin and terrible hate, and your famous dead father. then hearing your name from behind, if your surname was hitler you might not turn round

La Roux – In for the Kill Lyrics 17 years ago
some of the lyrics are wrong here.
"Two hours with accurate devotions" should be "two hearts.."
and
"Climb its way across the ocean" should be "Can this bridge cross the ocean?"

La Roux – In for the Kill Lyrics 17 years ago
this is my coming out song. I'm sure that's not what she meant it as but the chorus just fits exactly!
the Skream remix of this is just amazing. and this is from someone who does not actually like dubstep.

Florence + the Machine – Bird Song Accapella Lyrics 17 years ago
I love this song! It's all about guilt. The bird is a metaphor for her conscience, and she tries to kill it so nobody finds out about her 'crimes' (what she's actually done seems pretty irrelevant) but in the end she has to confess to what she's done.

Florence + the Machine – Don't Tell Me Lyrics 17 years ago
The version I have of this seems to have a slightly diferent structure to this one, and I thought this was called 'Ghosts'. It's streaming from here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/introducing/artists/florenceandthemachine/

Crystal Castles – Air War Lyrics 17 years ago
The lyrics in the live show are totally different, cos it's not alice singing in the actual recorded version. She just sort of hisses until the bit where she shouts "WAR!" and i'm guessing she just makes it up but this summer at the reading festival it sounded like she was shouting stuff about nuclear weapons and genocide etc

Dandi Wind – Mafu Cage Lyrics 17 years ago
the film is about 2 sisters, one of whom is totally insane and keeps monkeys in cages and draws pictures of them and has sex with them and when she gets bored of them kills them with her bare hands and gets a new one. and the sisters also have an incestuous relationship. basically, most fucked up film ever.

I swear this song has the exact same backing track to the liars remix they did. Which isn't a bad thing, they should blatantly rerelease all their remixes with alice vocals

Emmy the Great – Edward Is Deadward Lyrics 17 years ago
it's definitely 'drop my task' not toast.
seeing as toast does not rhyme with glass and is a bit silly - "oh no i have dropped my toast" - especially seeing as this is quite a beautiful and serious song she would not really be thinking about toast
and dropping her task means losing concentration with what she's doing

Daughter has sex with her mum who has herpes, and they both hate each other.

Emmy the Great – MIA Lyrics 18 years ago
I love this song, Emmy's going to be big this year methinks. And jonny, the "matter-of-factness" I think is trying to show the shock of how you would sometimes feel in this situation. it's not that she doesn't care at all that this person is dead, but at the time i think it happens that people just can't deal with thinking about what just happened, so they do just focus on something else.
The bit that gets me is all the imagery, like the bit 'filled with fingers and voices and teeth' - clearly this other person was completely destroyed. And the bit where the sky is "tinted with red" - that's got to be blood sprayed on the windscreen. i can just imagine it, there's this mangled corpse and emmy's just staring at the sky and listening to MIA.

The guy that did the soundtrack to the matrix has this electrothrash band & their cover of this song is amazing. They're called !Trash Yourself.
