Frightened Rabbit – Fast Blood Lyrics 15 years ago
have you ever had sex? if so, the masturbation/paralyzed explanation would make much more sense. it was the first thing i thought about upon listening to the song. i do believe that YOU are way of base on that one sorry...

Death Cab for Cutie – Cath... Lyrics 17 years ago
that's creepy...i'm 24 and i'm getting married...therefore you may see me out for my bachelorette party.

In a hand-me-down wedding dress
With the things that could have been are repressed.
But you said your vows and you closed the door
On so many men who would have loved you more.

after that, i couldn't listen anymore...too much truth...

Bright Eyes – Haligh, Haligh, a Lie, Haligh Lyrics 18 years ago
Haligh

1. An angsty and/or emo teenage girl.
2. A girl that breaks your heart.
3. A chant of heartbreak.

Used in Conor Oberst's song "haligh, haligh, a lie, haligh"


"You said you hate my suffering
And you understood
And you’d take care of me
You'd always be there
Well where are you now?

Haligh, haligh, a lie, haligh
The plans were never finalized
But left to hang like yarn and twine
Dangling before my eyes"

Manchester Orchestra – Slow to Learn Lyrics 18 years ago
this song is hard to make out...buut...i think it the first verse says "that she is harmless and nice but with malicious intent..." ??? i honestly dont know.

fave line is the way he says "my god does no one love you?" at their live show, my ex and i made eye contact from across the room just as andy sang this line...i guess we were both thinking that about each other.

Sigur Rós – Hoppípolla Lyrics 18 years ago
i just heard the We Are Scientists cover...it's cleaner and clearer than SR's but to some people (like me) that makes it less alluring and wistful. i'm considering playing it at my wedding.

Umbrellas – The City Lights Lyrics 18 years ago
so...first time i heard this song was when a guy played it for me as we slow danced in my living room. fell...in...love...with the song, not the guy. i distinctly remember the moment i knew this song and i would be long-time lovers was when i first heard the way scott says "...paints against the sky." that was THE moment. and even though my dancing partner turned out to be an ass hat, he did introduce me to this beautiful song that held the title of "most played" in my itunes for the longest time.

Something Corporate – Walking By Lyrics 18 years ago
so...i can't shuffle past this song on my ipod. i have to listen to it. i don't usually have the attention span to break down songs line by line. so here are my usual random generalities:

"...warm summer eyes that flickered like fireflies" and "...her firefly stare" = she had her mother's eyes. her mom died in the winter, daughter moved on, had her mom's eyes...nutshell.

"and these nights i get high just from breathing"...i'm not sure what it means but i want to experience it.

Something Corporate – Straw Dog Lyrics 18 years ago
a "straw dog" is a scapegoat people use to deflect their bad judgements and decisions off of themselves. perhaps "jessica's" straw dog being "out in the street" symbolizes that all her excuses and cover-ups are about to be demolished.

Or you know...whatever.

The Classic Crime – Headlights Lyrics 18 years ago
this song reminds me of a sucky period in my life...especially the second verse...more specifically the line "how could you have been a fool?" for i was a fool. anyway...just a few things that spark in my mind when i read the lyrics:

"i know you're cold" = the person he's referring to is dead...
"come home" = the person is (hopefully) in heaven but he wants them to come back...so they won't be "cold" anymore
"it's a shame how short we all have come" = maybe a reference to the verse romans 3:23...for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

"it's something all of us go through" = we all either experience losing a loved one (in his case) OR we all have moments of depression and suicidal thoughts (in the other person's case)

i could go on but the song is actually pretty self-explanatory. i think it's meant to evoke hope in the face of depression even though it does carry a suicidal tone.
