Snow Patrol – Take Back the City Lyrics | 15 years ago |
More explanation from Gary about this song in an interview with Q magazine, for my fellow enthusiasts: "All these years later and it's killing me/ Your broken records and words." Lightbody explained: "This bit alludes to the not-so-good days. The broken records and words are the politicians saying no. The scars of conflict are still there, but Belfast is regenerating so rapidly. It's a fully functional, vibrant, European city these days." "Pick a side, pick a fight, but get your epitaph right." Lightbody explained: "I patently don't understand the history of the conflict because I don't understand why anyone would want to fight, and this line refers to that. I'm not fighting anyone for anything, because I don't hate anyone." "I love this city tonight, I love this city always/ It bares its teeth like a light, and spits me out after days." Lightbody explained: "Going out in Belfast is very more-ish and I'm a moth to the flame of it. The music scene is growing at a ludicrous rate and I can usually be found checking out one of a dozen great new bands." "Tell me you never wanted more than this? And I will stop talking now." Lightbody explained: "It wouldn't be one of my songs without a line like that! It's a modern love story in the blink of an eye. In a wider sense, the album is all about being in love, which is a change for me." |
Snow Patrol – Disaster Button Lyrics | 15 years ago |
This song refers to Gary's younger years when he got drunk and did stupid, out of character things. He also writes about these expereinces in 'Brave', where he describes falling down the stairs of the art school and passing out. I believe thats what "But here's a helping hand A voice that's far too close And I am up and on my broken limbs" refers to. I'll let Gary himself explain the song title: "Very scary times. That song is about my mid-twenties, when I definitely had a disaster button. It was very easily pushed and all around me turned to calamity very fast. It's me looking back on a few specific incidents where I could have handled myself a little better." |
Evanescence – The Last Song I'm Wasting on You Lyrics | 15 years ago |
In short, this is a song about a person who is in a relationship with one of those people who always promise to get better, with their "I love you"s, yet continue to be abusive. Sparkling grey in my own veins Any more than a whisper Any sudden movement of my heart And I know, I know I'll have to watch them pass away ****The first thing to note is the paradox-sparkling grey. the relationship operates on a "when its good, its very good,(sparkling) but when its bad, its very bad(grey)" basis. She mentions watching "them" pass away. I take this to mean memories of the relationship. "movement of my heart"-change in feelings-She is afraid to defy him, and in a way, doesnt want to. Just get through this day Give up your way, you could be anything, Give up my way, and lose myself, not today That's too much guilt to pay ****Mostly obvious, its difficult for them day to day. She suggests they part ways so that they can "be anything" But that's "too much guilt"-So while they face all these difficulties, they can't seperate because they don't want to lose the good memories, or neglect the other person. Sickened in the sun You dare tell me you love me But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die Honey you know, you know I'd never hurt you that way ***Sickened in the sun-Ie romance/pros of the relationship-He tells her he loves her yet continues to be abusive. You're just so pretty in your pain Give up my way, and I could be anything I'll make my own way Without your senseless hate....hate...hate.....hate **At this stage, she loses the guilt factor. She realises that she can't be with/help him, and must leave. So run, run, run And hate me, if it feels good I can't hear your screams anymore You lied to me But I'm older now And I'm not buying baby Demanding my response Don't bother breaking the door down I found my way out And you'll never hurt me again **This is all very much the same; insistence that shes stronger and wiser, and doesnt believe him anymore.She doesnt matter what he thinks of her or how he tries to get her back, because she isnt trapped in loving him anymore. |
Madina Lake – Never Take Us Alive Lyrics | 15 years ago |
http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/games/game.aspx?gameID=3 This could be it-A game. There was a game for the first album in which, after every level, you got another piece of the story. Im not sure if this is the same. It'll also get you free downloads and stuff if you finish it. Anyway, enjoy! |
Snow Patrol – If There's a Rocket Tie Me To It Lyrics | 15 years ago |
Thank you. I find it easy to do so because I feel I understand the lyrics, theyre meaningful to me and feel so intimate and personal, a lot like my own experiences. I've lost someone too and I identify with those feelings. |
Britney Spears – My Baby Lyrics | 15 years ago |
Apparently, Brit wrote this one herself, a fact which in itself makes this song more beautiful. We too often assume that falling in love refers only to romantic love. I'd say that only mothers can fully understand this song and the feelings expressed here. "'Cause without you, How did I get through? All of my days without you," I think what's possibly most touching is this idea ^, that her baby helps her get through the day. Even though, of course, a baby cannot counsel, talk, or do so many other things.-the mere presence of her kids keeps her going. |
Snow Patrol – What If The Storm Ends? Lyrics | 15 years ago |
I take the storm as metaphoric-possibly of many things such as:- -a relationship-what if the relationship ends, and he will no longer see (her, to make this easier to describe) in all her perfection. -Im inclined to see "the storm" as a metaphor for life. "Just for a minute The siilver-forked sky Lifts you up like a star" I dont know about any of you, but I've experienced a similar feeling before. A particular event, sometimes a minor one, can light that person up and show them in all their beauty and perfection. In this description, she is in the centre of the storm(ie his life) "Be the lightning in me" fits as well- if the storm is his life, the lightning is the thing that fuels the storm- hes asking her to be his strength. basically he doesnt want to miss one moment with her and never wants to be parted from her. |
Joanna Newsom – Emily Lyrics | 15 years ago |
For any snow patrol fans out there, I came across this song in a blog written by Gary Lightbody. He sings[not literally, unfortunately] and I had to take a look! "I was listening again to Joanna Newsom's 'Y' and it struck me the first song on the album Emily may well be the most intelligent AND beautiful AND passionate song that there ever what was and will be and could be...Still, listening to Emily which I do again and again when I rediscover 'Y', it's hard to imagine anyone topping both it's majesty and it's (somehow) fragile wonder" GaryL |
Snow Patrol – Crack The Shutters Lyrics | 15 years ago |
Despite adoring "If there's a rocket, tie me to it", I think "crack the shutters" has overtaken it to second place(Part3 of the lightning strike."Daylight"- is my favourite) This is about worshipping the person you're with-My boyfriend has a tendency to call me his "goddess" and while this is a SLIGHT exaggeration, this seemsth perfect expression to describe how this man sees his partner. the whole putting-cold-hands- on-someone is such a symbol of affection, Im not quite sure why. I think its about being so close to someone that such things won't annoy them.Its such cute imagery. And the fact that he tells her to stop, but doesnt really want her to is even sweeter-he just loves being touched by her. And all the time, he wants to "bathe" her in the light- show her in all her glory, just watch her in awe.(thats where I see the goddess imagery) And she awes him in SO many ways. This is just beautiful. |
Snow Patrol – Take Back the City Lyrics | 15 years ago |
Lightbody said this song was inspired by Belfast. Where I live.^_^ *proud* it certianly fits with the problems AND joys of Belfast, |
Snow Patrol – If There's a Rocket Tie Me To It Lyrics | 15 years ago |
*Belfast |
Snow Patrol – If There's a Rocket Tie Me To It Lyrics | 15 years ago |
I got this CD signed last night in Blefast and am listening it to the first time now.I've literally just heard this song for the first time. And what a beautiful introduction to "A hundred Million Suns" Its about missing someone you have just lost and trying to move on. Then you find a little reminder of them-like a hair-and you can't help but think about them You compare your own pulse to theirs("Your beat") and remember the days when you lay so close to them that you could feel their heartbeat/pulse. The loneliness of not being with that person makes the silence eerie, and the distance between you "amplifies the sound"-makes the loneliness/silence unbearable and worse. The silence is deafening, eg The crackling of the fire-"barks"like "primal music" and the only sounds to be heard are irrelevant-("hum of ovens, aeroplanes...") because you feel you have nothing left. |
Snow Patrol – Take Back the City Lyrics | 15 years ago |
Yes, I cant wait for the album either! In terms of meaning, I think the city is metaphor for a relationship "God knows you've put your life into at times and it's both cradled you and crushed But now it's time to make your own demands" -How relationships can hurt as well as make you happy,and how you have to make your choice on whether to keep going and fighting for it "All these years later and it's killing me Your broken records and words Ten thousand craters where it all should be" -Maybe the couple have broken up, yet this guy cant move on-"ten thousand craters"= the wreck of the relationship-but it says WHERE IT SHOULD BE-ie where the city(relationship), should be-he feels they should be together "No need to put your words into my mouth Don't need convincing at all I love this place enough to have no doubt" So maybe the feeling is mutual, but the other person neednt justify to him the reasons for fixing things, because he knows himself that its the right thing to do. "It's a mess It's a start It's a flowing work of art Your city, your call Every crack, every wall" about starting from the beginning, when its all new- it may be difficult but it will get more beautiful as the relationship progresses.The relationship is what youre meant for,despite the problems. "Tell me you never wanted more than this And I will stop talking now One perfect partner, one eternal kiss" -sums it up-the relationship had to be rekindled, because they were perfect for each other, and wouldnt have been able to move on and be happy. -Just my thoughts |
Panic! at the Disco – Nine In The Afternoon Lyrics | 16 years ago |
oh i think special k basically aaid,I hated panic at the beginning,the singer,not the band itself.thinks the song is about being with someone who feels the same as you,sex,and drugs,and its well for the lover who does have those things in theuir love life....it cant really be 9 in the afternoon,but its equal to when you are awoken by kisses from a lover,or waking to find them still sleeping beside you,wihout make upor anything,but to you,they are still beautiful. |

Panic! at the Disco – Baby One More Time (Britney Spears cover) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
This cover is amazing! I would generally prefer bitney to panic,But this is an awesome cover,and better than the original. I heard this,and decided to listen to a few panic songs,just because that voice is so damn sexy lol. |
Panic! at the Disco – Build God, Then We'll Talk Lyrics | 16 years ago |
I agree with slowdownkate,I think the girl was a virgin at the beginning of the song- It's quite noticeable that it simply says "a lawyer and a virgin" Yet when she is referred to later,after their meeting-" ...proposition, for that "virgin" Yes, the one the lawyer met with..."(The Quote marks around "virgin" imply that she isnt anymore.)The references to religion and morals-"No practised catholic.." "Rosary tucked inside her lingerie" and"no girls in white dresses"(White is symbollistic of purity,virginity) Imply that she was virginal and perhaps religious(Tho religion may just be another implication of virginity,and not literal) but gave that up for the job-This is why it is a "characature of intimacy"-The first time that she has waited for should be special and intimate-But it's a farce,Its the opposite-its seedy. An atourney and a constable-Is it coincidence that they are both legal jobs?Do the men know each other,and did they set her up?Or is it that the constable discovered another way that she prostituted herself,and so blackmailed her? I think the idea of a person losing their virginity to become a hooker is very sad.And I think thats what the song is about. One of the very few panic songs i like,But its a decent tune. |

50 Cent – In Da Club Lyrics | 16 years ago |
yes,ditto for me. I just love arguments on youtube and msn and stuff. Usually more about chav/emo stuff though.Music,I generally persuade myself to remain unoffensive towards tastes.Individuality and all that. But...50 cent fans are exempt from having rights tbh -- EXCUSE ME that was a damn sophisticated sentence I wrote! ...by their standards |
50 Cent – In Da Club Lyrics | 16 years ago |
can i tell you a secret? I LOVE BEING HATED. hahahahaaaa gosh that sounded emo.Oh well.Im waiting for an argument here.Perhaps 50 cent fans cannot form sentences... You know im not one for taking the piss out of fans like this.I usually firmly believe in respecting other peoples tastes...but i mean Come on. I'm only saying this for the good of my nation.Actually,the good of the WORLD.I mean,some kids out there may look up to this rapper twat."musician" indeed... I can't allow it. |
50 Cent – In Da Club Lyrics | 16 years ago |
missneurotic,consider your audience.Do you really think 50 cent fans will understand that?How about this: "Damn,homie,Dis right here be da fuckin freakiest shit I ever hearded.S-to the-H to the I-T-E, Dats rap muthafucka" Then again that may not contain enough grammatical errors... But I mean still.Im clearly cool:D (intensive mockery session,over) |
50 Cent – In Da Club Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Hell yeah Particular emphasis on Fuck rap |
50 Cent – In Da Club Lyrics | 16 years ago |

50 Cent – In Da Club Lyrics | 16 years ago |
LMAO,gosh i find this amusing. Did someone say this was inspiring?I mean it's called "In da club"...If the world is being changed by this song, the marks in spelling tests are just gonna slip aren't they? I mean i don't want to sound neurotic,I just like when basic words are spelt properly. MissNeurotic,i highly doubt ANYONE is trying to say this is real music....are they?:O What has the world been reduced to? |

Panic! at the Disco – Nine In The Afternoon Lyrics | 16 years ago |
The song lyrics are just fine,don't you come on here telling people what they should and shouldnt like! I hate when people show that kinda superiority complex.I've never been into panic at all,but i respect that other people are.I came here to browse the lyrics,and it just annoyed me to see that kinda comment. why dont YOU grow uip and realise that people have different music tastes? |
The Killers – When You Were Young Lyrics | 16 years ago |
yup,music is therapy. looks like you have a degree in it LOL |
The Killers – When You Were Young Lyrics | 16 years ago |
wow imj i really like your interpretation. honestly,ive always loved this song,but it was more for the sound than the lyrics(usually i obsess over the lyrics instead..anyway)..i never saw a lot of depth in them,never really thought about them. But now i totally see it.and that makes me happy.i find music soooooo much more when it means something to me.AND i can relate to that meaning too...i know im weird and probably sound like a kiss ass...but thank you=]x |
Girls Aloud – I'll stand by you (Cover) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
Best song by them,but its not even their own. The original by the pretenders is significantly better...lol but yes,very sweet=] |
Girls Aloud – Can't Speak French Lyrics | 16 years ago |
haha tommyhaych i agree with you but i think theres a level of irony in that.theyre siging about not being able to speak french,so "let the funky music do the talking talking now"...yet they cant come up with good lyrics but the catchy beat kinda saves its ass.kinda.LMAO |
Plain White T's – Our Time Now Lyrics | 16 years ago |
i kinda assumed this song was about his" first time" lol...or maybe just his first time with this person.just the stuff about hads shaking,being nervous,giving into a feeling..."this is the dance for all the lovers" etc |
Snow Patrol – Shut Your Eyes Lyrics | 16 years ago |
i agree totally with mooniczek.^^^(READ IT!) read that interpretation,its exactly what i thought initially and its explined well. basically in summary,its about making love,and the perfection and beauty of it. its certainly a very intimate relationship but lines about "wear each other well" "you're our secret space" and "falling gently on the cushion"...yeah, i think its sexual. |
Snow Patrol – How to Be Dead Lyrics | 16 years ago |
ok so i think the first stanza is basically showing that the person on drugs is paranoid(makes sense with use of certain drugs) that the other person is cheating,or is perhaps just making a big deal over nothing.it could be that the person cheated or whatever,but i think not, with lines like "No you don't know what happened" he talks about being left in the cold-she(or he if its a gay couple,which it could be i guess..though im more inclined to agree with those who say that each stanza alternates so that the girl is talking in the next one..anyway..ill call her she:P)she doesnt trust what he tells her,she doesnt confde in him,and shows him no warmth or love.Which sent him,perhaps into the arms of another(not necessarily in a sexual way)however he still wants her,hes gonna tell her the truth,which could be that shes addicted to drugs,and needs to stop.(she may be in denail hence"dont go crazy if i tell you the truth") 2nd stanza-shes still denying it,telling him to calm down(lower his hands and voice etc.)she says she wants space,thats all,shes not pushing him away("give me some time")she mentions a lot of blame in the relationship,saying shes carrying it all on her shoulders.it could be that theyve both screwed up at times,or perhaps shes trying to excuse her drug use by blaming him for failing her in some way."lets talk about growth"-of a relationship?i think shes becoming frustrated that their relationship is standing still.or that he wont let the drug issue,or maybe many other issues,go.she says "you havent heard a sigle word ive said"-which makes sense since in stanza one he said"i wont give up"-he wont drop the case,so isnt listening to her excuses. stanza three-he says that he hasnt done all that shes accused him of,and perhaps points to drugs as the problem-possibly indicating that they make her paranoid,or possibly just saying that they cause the arguments between them."at least i remember"--so hes saying she would have no idea what was going on anyway,if shes constantly out of it.stepping over lines shes drawn could be about her not letting him into her life,keeping him at a distance.first time i read it though,i thought it was another drug reference-you know-about doing lines? then the line if the ecstacys in the wit/will(either make sense but i think its wit))is out-self explanatory-on drugs her head isnt clear and she does stupid things(maybe,eg,accusing him?)and then. "Dr. Jekyll is wrestling Hyde for my pride"-theyre on very different sides,with very different views-and theyre both so proud and stubborn(they dont listen to each others arguments etc) that theyll keep arguing and ignoring each other out of pride-they each want to win,and,ultimately,be listened to. |
