The Naked And Famous – Punching in a Dream Lyrics 13 years ago
I also think it's about addiction. I love this song.

"If I died on the screens"
When you use a substance you sometimes feel out of body like you're watching yourself, on a screen. Practicing addicts often feel very self-destructive and don't really care about death. It's like you're watching you destroy yourself and you feel like there's nothing you can do but watch.

"Life tearing at the seams"
Addiction tears your life apart.

"I don't ever wanna be here
Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare"
No one wants to be an addict and you don't see yourself going down that path until you're there. All you can do is say this isn't were I ever wanted to end up. Once you're there it's very difficult to get out of the nightmare.

"Bright lights turn me clean"
You end up in the hospital or a rehabilitation center and you get clean.

“This is worse than it seems”
A big part of addiction is hiding it even from yourself. When you final come to terms with it you realize that you're worse that you and maybe other people realized.

“They'll get through
They'll get you”
Your compositions and addiction will follow you forever. Your thoughts will continue to go to a place were you want to use.

“In the place that you feel it the most
When you're cornered
When it's forming”
People use drugs and alcohol to get away from pain. When you're cornered or feeling stress or pain you can feel the thoughts forming.
“In the place that you wish was a ghost”
You wish you didn't have these thoughts. You wish that they would become a ghost that no longer haunts you everyday but it's there and it's staying.

Badly Drawn Boy – Cause A Rockslide Lyrics 18 years ago
I love this song its incredible and it kills me how few people have actually heard it.
I don't think it needs a meaning aside from the 'Can I get close to ya If only for a while'

Linkin Park – Shadow Of The Day Lyrics 18 years ago
I think its about the war, and protesters. The video shows this too.

I close both locks below the window.
I close both blinds and turn away.
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way.
-From the video it seems like he doesn't agree with the protesters, or they are getting to out of hand.


This is what I get from it.


And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.
- A solders death or leaving for war. The grey talking about how it will make the family and friends feel.

Pink cards and flowers on your window,
Your friends all plead for you to stay.
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way.
- The friends don't want the solder to go to war, and send cards to the family members.

Tegan and Sara – And Darling (This Thing That Breaks My Heart) Lyrics 18 years ago
Here is that video:

She says that the song is not about that type of break up.

As for the putting hands in pockets, I think they might be paying homage to Ani De Franco she says that in Gravel. Just a cute thing you might do in a relationship. But in this song i think that it might be a gold digger thing? I'm really not completely sure.

Tegan and Sara – I Take All the Blame Lyrics 18 years ago
I do think its about relationship problems I don't know if its a break up song though.

Just because she is giving up she doesn't want her to give up, like make me 'week in the knees'
"Press to my knees
Give them hope
And new joys"

And
"You have my
Chest, full of cold night
Air in my lungs"
you have me but its just cold night air.

I could be way off.

Tegan and Sara – My Number Lyrics 18 years ago
I know that the first line is literally about there leaky shower. They say that in an interview on youtube.

I read what ute wrote a few days ago and I have listened to the song a few times since then and I can't beleive that I didn't notice it. I think she is compleatly right. I can relate to it also. I think that must be why I like it so much.

He tells her that she will love him one day and that finally makes her see, that its not going to happen because she is gay:
"he grabs me by the hand
drags me to the shore and says
maybe you don't love me
but you'll grow to love me even more
and I well I'm not surprised"
