| Modest Mouse – Little Motel Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The song is about death, first verse might sum up the entire song. I hope that you like it in your little motel I hope that the suite sleeps and suits you well I can see it as time and sights through smells That's why it's nice to be by yourself The motel itself is a coffin. Someone the story teller loves has recently died in some way, either figuratively or literally. He sees to the best of his ability that his loved one is allowed to go in peace. He isn't bitter or depressed but hopeful. He reminisces about times spent together with his deceased; memories are also triggered by familiar smells. He leaves the little motel neither content nor rueful. Maybe with a sense of helplessness about his own mortality. |

| The Veils – Lavinia Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This one lyric especially stands out... "That I don't want to live in your side Though the rose is vermillion And I find it so hard to survive Without when within you" "A thorn in the side" is an old phrase that describes a recurring problem that tends to get the better of you. The song implies this phrase sexually. Figuratively, our story teller is more than a thorn in Lavinia's side; he is a thriving, red rose. But only thorn is given to Lavinia. The rose belongs to Lucia. |
