| The Cure – One Hundred Years Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Ok here is my interpretation of the song, probably wayyyyyy off the mark here. The start makes me think of a business guy who is stuck in a mundane high society job. He is with a girl and they are both so sad and depressed. You can just picture them sitting round a table and the line "Something small falls out of your mouth and we laugh" just looking for anything to try and find amusing. They have no close relationship as she cannot get close to anybody, the next verse i can picture them in bed watching the news on tv and seeing all war and depressing shit and all he wants is for her to turn to him and let him protect her and be a part of him. She is depreseed about the death of her father when she was little that she had never gotten over. Whether it was something sudden or not she saw him die and it has screwed her mind and saddend her. For some reason I always picture the last verse as his father in a nursing home who fought in the war but basically time forgot. He has no recognition who anyone is "Caressing an old man And painting a lifeless face Just a piece of new meat in a clean room The soldiers close in under a yellow moon All shadows and deliverance Under a black flag A hundred years of blood Crimson" absolute powerfull words. So she is going through the loss of her father and he is too. in the end they both commit suicide by hanging which ends the pain and suffering they are both trying to hide.... |

I love the version that Robert does with Placebo. Two hot men in make up, yum yum!!! I saw this song live a month ago and it was absolutely amazing the guitar in it. I always imagined this song about two people absolutely loosing themselves in sex. The way Robert sings it I always pictured two lovers intertwining themselves and the lyrics "Don't let it end" just holding onto that feeling..... |

| The Cure – Apart Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| It sends chills through me this song. It seems one day they just woke up and realised that they don't have the same connection they used to have. I think they were just in routine the lyrics "She waits for him to say I love you but he tells no more lies" makes it seem that he had been just saying it without meaning and now he realises that he has fallen out of love. Robert Smith is absolutely amazing, his voice is so haunting. Although it is a breakup song, so sexy on the other hand.... | |

| I love the version of this song on Enconium that Robert Plant does with Tori Amos. Their voices are just amazing together. | |
| The Cure – Lovesong Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| We had this song as our bridal waltz when we got married. I think just the meaning of him writing it for his wife and the passion he puts into it when he sings is absolutely amazing. I saw this live a week ago and it brought a tear to my eye. | |
| Roger Waters – Perfect Sense, Part I Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The first time I heard this song was at his concert and it was absolutely amazing. There was a video of a huge submarine on the stage and then when the torpedoes hit fireworks went off. Totally blew me away and ever since then I have totally loved it. Roger Waters would have to be the most brilliant songwriter of our time..... |

I can't believe no one has commented on this song. What an amazing song. Sends chills down my spine. Lou sounds so sad when he sings it. I always picture a loft apartment like in the crow movie.... |
