| Wild Nothing – Your Rabbit Feet Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
it was the hungriest night I ever knew but it was hungry for you, love and what a shame we spend so little time living isn't it? our hunger is so wild like an only child I could scream a healthy scream what do you want to know? I'll tell you anything Your touches of virtue, and I'm rarely two shoes on the ground, how'd I get here? From rubbing horseshoes, your rabbit feet, underground, the roots of trees how'd I get here? I guess I'm getting an Alice In Wonderland vibe. Wish they'd publish the lyrics for us! |

| Wild Nothing – Vultures Like Lovers Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This is what I hear: Down in my valley there are vultures like lovers who search for that something to hold on to Maybe it's crazy to hope for something more than flesh, bones, teeth and skin. Won't they ever let you in? Would you hold my hair back when I'm sick? Sometimes we can't say what we're meant to. Crying kids don't remember those fun days For all of their kicking and screaming. Not too sure of the last lines. |

It sounds like that, yes. I also think the other line is "Box up all of your things with tape Write your address so it won't be late" |

| Beirut – The Rip Tide Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This sounds so sad, lonely, abandoned. I think it's the kind of sadness where you just want to die, so he leaves the house where he's now lonely and alone to head into the rolling water where he can get caught up in a rip (rest in peace?) tide and carried away out to sea. A beautiful song. | |

| I think it's "I know you're bad, that's why I like you." | |

| Peter Gabriel – Solsbury Hill Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I always wondered if the title was a play on "Souls Bury" or how the music industry buries musicians' souls while maximizing corporate earnings. The more successful he got, the more he realized how unfulfilled he was, cranking out songs that made money but left him feeling empty, until the little voice inside said, "get free!" (eagle, being the symbol of freedom, "came in close, I heard a voice"). He knew it would be crazy to walk away from his success ("my friends would think I was a nut"), but his life was in a rut, he "had to listen, had no choice." He felt he was part of the corporate plan ("I was feeling part of the scenery") to make money, and while his business associates knew that it was true, they closed their eyes to his dissatisfaction because the money kept rolling in("watched by empty silhouettes who closed their eyes but still could see"). He finally succumbed to the inner voice, left everything behind and let his independent spirit carry him home to his true fulfillment, his creativity. And songs like this are the result. He's an inspiration! | |
