I remember someone on Youtube getting all pissy about how they "casually threw Karbala into their song with no thought of the emotional pain associated with people hearing this music". It was ridiculous. |

I guess I tend to take songs a lot more literally than other people do. I don't think it's about God at all. I think it's about a father who deserts his family and finally shows up one day randomly and after not calling or visiting for his whole life. |

Yeah this meaning is pretty basic. It's trippy to know that wherever you go something has died there. A lot of the time, that something is still there.
My favorite line is "dressed in their best clothes, there are rows and rows and rows..." it gives me the willies for some reason. It's funny how when you die they dress you up all nice-for what? The worms don't care. And when you die (if you're not cremated) the same thing happens to you that happens to everyone else. They doll you up and put you in the ground next to hundreds of rows of other dead people.
I guess dying isn't so lonely after all. |

It's obvious what this song means, 'cause it's pretty straightforward. I don't even like country but I love boy bands and this is like boy band central and it's fantastic. |

This song is hilarious. Don't laugh but this is like the first song I heard in my boyfriend's car when we had just started being together and I always think of him. |

I thought it was called Carolyn's FingerS. Like plural.
Anyway I love this song as well. For the longest time I didn't even know she was speaking English, haha. It makes me think of peace and happiness, like with a long time lover. |

I agree with someone who posted earlier. I have no idea what this song means, but I saw it first with the music video and it's just beautiful and inspirational to me as it is. I'm sort of scared to know what it really says. |

I LOVE this song. So there.
There is this thing that's like touching except you don't touch
There is this thing that's like talking except you don't talk
I love those parts. I know everyone is getting into the whole political scheme of things but I always like to look at songs simply, and this is a song of inspiration. Aside from the singing part, it feels like a song about being yourself, and being free and not caring what people think. |

Such a great song. I remember loving this in my childhood. It's one of the sweetest songs ever. When he calls her "Your majesty" it makes me melt. Anyway the song's about knowing that he hasn't got what her father wants her to have but that he loves her more anyway, I think. So romantic. |

Feels like she's talking about her job and how she does what she does well but at the end of the day it's still a job, and she's done it for so long. She finishes up and she gets a nice drink to wind down. Stuff like that. |

| Tori Amos – Another Girl's Paradise Lyrics
| 17 years ago

Yeah, the way I think of like that as well-it's envy. Seeing a woman who has something beautiful that she wants as well, but she doesn't want to keep feeling like that-not being content with her own life and always wanting what she doesn't have. She wonders if she can take or copy or mimic what it is that she admires about said girl and still maintain her uniqueness and not be something fake. She says "does it all come down to the thing one girl fears in the night is another girl's paradise", and it makes me think she feels like she doesn't want to see any other girls living lives better than theirs or having something she doesn't.
I can totally relate. |

| Tori Amos – Body and Soul Lyrics

This song reminds me of that book Rose Madder by Stephen King. It's one of my favorite books. Anyway I think this is a very female-centered song. It feels like a sort of feminist, woman-empowerment type of thing, and also a stab at the religions who try to take sexuality and feminism and make them seem evil and shameful. The male-centered thought process revolves around destruction, hate, and violence. The catholic church has been known to hate, persecute, and even kill those whom they considered their enemies. Women are known for being softer, kinder, and more loving. "In my temple boy, be warned-violence doesn't have a home now, but ecstasy-that's as pure as a woman's gold."
I think she's trying to say that she can be just as strong as this male-oriented religion/world and she doesn't have to use violence. She can use love. and only women can truly understand that concept.
At least that's what I get out of it. |

I think the song is basically about jealousy and envy. She's trying to tell the person that they're just as good as the person they're trying to take from, and that they don't need to feel the way they do. |

| Tori Amos – A Sorta Fairytale Lyrics

I think this song is about a woman who meets a man on the highway when her car breaks down and falls in love. It's a queer sort of meeting and you couldn't call it fairytale meetings because it's not glamorous or anything, but it feels so right and so beautiful all the same. When the car is finally fixed and it's time to drive on and go their separate ways, she had to part with the man who took her heart. It's a brief but beautiful moment with a stranger. |

Yep, I agree with the above stuff. It seems like a story about a man who was trying to latch onto her fame and make it big himself and when he failed he deserted the people who tried to help him in the first place and threw the blame on them. |

| Imogen Heap – Have You Got It In You? Lyrics
| 17 years ago

I always thought this song was about her job, the recording business. How she's pressured to do the best she can and be this amazing thing she's expected to do these extraordinary things, but she also feels guilty and thinks that maybe she could be doing better, hence "it takes a lot to be always on form, or maybe not-all the time I've got, maybe not".
She's putting on a fight-front, talking about "then all at once, let me have it all" saying basically "I can take it, come on, throw it on me, let's go."
Edit: I guess I already commented on this one. |

| Imogen Heap – Closing In Lyrics

Every interpretation in here is basically the same.
I see it as her in a plane, reaching some destination. The way I see it she's supposed to meet this guy that she's totally in love with, and she's not seen him for a while. He's supposed to pick her up or something, but symbolically he's also supposed to be there to receive her romantically. She's wondering what he's been up to and how he's changed, and if he's going to love her. |

| Michael Jackson – Blood on the Dance Floor Lyrics

"Every hot man is out takin' a chance
It's not about love and romance "
I think this song is about promiscuity and how relationships now are different from how they were back in the day. Now it's just about sleeping with as many people as possible, with no relationship involved. And everybody thinks they're safe and they're gonna be okay until something happens, like an STD or a pregnancy or a woman who won't leave you alone.
"To escape the world I've got to enjoy that simple dance"
Mike's likened sex to dancing before. Remember Billie Jean? "We danced on the floor in the round"?
He's talking about sex as an escape, but it's also dangerous. |

I always felt that this song is about fame, and being the best of the best (in her case, musically). Going the extra mile, pushing the limits. Go go go go go go go faster and faster and better and better, have to be the best, have to be on top. |

| Imogen Heap – Clear the Area Lyrics

I thought this was an obvious reference to someone about to commit suicide. I could just be taking the whole thing too literally, but I immediately got the impression that Imogen was trying to coax a loved one away from some sort of ledge or something.
"Are you alone" is the suicidal person asking Imogen, and she's saying yes, I'm alone, and I wasn't followed, aka there aren't any cops or anything waiting to grab said person off of the ledge.
You find your way back down-meaning literally, find your way off the ledge and come down on your own terms.
and I'll keep the area clear-She'll make sure there aren't any people around, like cops and officials (like there usually is when someone's on some roof about to kill themselves)
I'll just be waiting here, right here.
Slowly, darling, nobody means any more to me than you-slowly come off the ledge, be careful.
If you're in, baby then I'm in (into this)
With you always-if you kill yourself, I'm coming after you.
Careful, close to the edge (you're scaring me)-duh
Fall into my arms (where did it all fall)
Fall into love (love)-instead of falling down and dying, fall into her arms, into love. |
