The Antlers – Atrophy Lyrics 15 years ago
From what I got out of it
The caretaker that is in love with the dying is showing his depression:

Because I'm leaving out words, punctuations, and it sounds pretty hollow- Feels helpless

I've been living in bed because now you tell me to sleep - Sleeping to much b/c of the depression
I've been hiding my voice and my face and you decide when I eat - Keeping himself consolidated from everyone else, his eating habits are destroyed.

In your dreams I'm a criminal, horrible, sleeping around. When you're awake I'm impossible constantly letting you down- Feelings of helplessness

I'd happily take all those bullets inside you and put them inside of myself- Wishes the roles were reversed, wishes he was dead.

Someone, oh anyone, tell me how to stop this
She's screaming, expiring, and I'm her only witness
I'm freezing, infected, and rigid in that room inside her - Is helpless

The song is about the depression stage of the hospice caretaker(helplessness, sleep disorder, eating disorder, suicidal thoughts-would feel better if he was dead)

M. Ward – Poison Cup Lyrics 17 years ago
Cause a sip
A sip
Or a spoonful won't do
Won't do nothing for you
Except mess you up

Perfect lyrics, I didnt catch it at first but when i did i could totally relate to it...

I want nothing but all her love and she only gives it out spoonfuls at a time, and thats all it does mess me up

Arctic Monkeys – Only Ones Who Know Lyrics 17 years ago
I believe that songs can mean differently depending on the person

this song to me is translated as


In a foreign place(they go to different colleges)
The saving grace was the feeling
That it was her heart that he was stealing(He hates the place he is at and she tells him if they were close they can be together)
He was ready to impress
And the fierce excitement
The eyes are bright
He couldn't wait to get away
And I bet that Juliet was just the icing on the cake
Make no mistake, no (She was the ultimate reason why he left, so he could be with her)

And even if somehow he could have shown you
The place you wanted(After he left and the plan was in order she changed her mind)
Well I'm sure you could have made it that bit better on your own(She is very independent and decided she'd rather do her own thing rather than sharing any of it with him)
And I bet she told a million people that she'd stay in touch(she said they could still be friends and talk and stay good friends)
But all the little promises that don't mean much(Her promise didnt mean much to her she was just trying to make him feel better, she doesnt keep in touch)
When there's memories to be made(she's in a new place where she wants to make memories w/new friends and decided they'd be better without him)
And I hope you're holding hands by New Year's Eve(He just wants her to be happy even if its with someone else)
They made it far too easy to believe
That true romance can't be achieved these days(The rejection hits, he feels true romance is just to hard to attain in this modern age... its not like the black and white movies)

And even if somehow they could have shown you the place you wanted
Well I'm sure you could have made it that bit better on your own
You are the only ones who know(He will never know the real reason why she changed her mind, just her and the new other)

Andrew Bird – Action/Adventure Lyrics 18 years ago
I think this song is about a relationship between him and a girl who is leading him on. They get together and its fine for awhile, but she doesnt see the relationship the way he does or wants it to be.

but if you think i’m wasting your time again
no, you’re wasting mine

She thinks he waste her time when she doesnt have time for him but hangs with him anyways, or he is not her top priority like he would like him to be.


now i’m just another split in your seam the i in your team

She doesn't want a relationship aka "The I in your team" she doesnt want him to be a part of her life.

"ooo please don’t get too excited
oooo maybe you’re not invited to my action adventure
my action adventure dream"

He knows she is going to be missing out on an exciting life.

"in that adult lifestyle community
where all your little boys, your action toys are duty free"

She has alot of other guys just like him who she has flings with.

"so i wonder what you got your persona for
cause there’s a 2-for-one down at the corner-store"

She acts like a wonderful woman but its just fake to get what she wants out of guys. "The perfect woman" or "The douche bag girl who messes around" 2 persona's

"but if you think i’m wasting your time again
no, you’re wasting mine"

She says hes just a waste of time. She just wanted him for the fling so stop wasting her time by trying to get more out of what has happened. They go back or forth with flings. Shes just wasting his time by not taking it further.

so i’m looking at the back of my hand again
i’m looking at the back of my hand again
to what end if i can’t even find a goddamn pen

This part idk im just gonna say at the end of a fling he wants her number so maybe they can take it further but she doesnt want to give it out so he doesnt know what to do now.

yeahhhhh thats what i got.

Andrew Bird – Heretics Lyrics 18 years ago
I think this song is about a relationship

"Tell us what we did wrong and you can blame us for it"

On both sides of the relationship they have friends telling them that it could of never worked for different reasons


"How about some credit now
Where credit is due
For the damage that we've done
We have brought upon ourselves and others"

They were spending to much time with each other
making their friends mad since now they cant see them as much as they used to. The people who were in the relationship noticed when the relationship was over they had ruined their friend's friendship

"With a slow and vicious gun
And although pratfalls can be fun
Encores can be fatal"

They have humiliated themselves throughout the relationship in front of their friends. If they try their relationship again its just going to fail because they are just to bent on how they were when the relationship ended.

"And then I hear you say
Thank God it's fatal"

She is so bent against starting new again she knows there is no way they can be happy for long if they did get back togeather

"Wait just a second now
It's not all that bad
Are we not having fun"

They are hanging out again and its to so bad


"You make your mountains of handkerchiefs
Where the mascara always runs
So be careful when you're done"

Inside she wants to get back together, yet she is afraid about loosing her relationships that she has had to rebuild since the relationship has been over

"Wait, did I just hear you say...

Thank God it's fatal
No, we don't want to hear the sound of a draw
No, we don't want to hear the sound of a draw
And we don't want to hear the signs that your bore
You know the kind of sign you hang on a door
Saying, "We'll be back. We're a crack."

They both know deep down they really like each other

and in time they will be together

these lyrics are wrong idk who puts the lyrics up on this site but ive noticed a lot of the songs have wrong lyrics
Also I believe songs can have many different meanings for different people, thats what I love about music!

love
