| The Kills – Doing It to Death Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I would say it is about a couple that are too deep in the alcohol and drug scene and are literally doing it to death. I mean the first line saying "We're wasted." Then the line of regret and knowing that they "have to slow it down." but the waves and urge keep coming and they know they can't stop it now. But my favorite line through the whole song is "We're double sixing it, night after night" Pretty much digging their own graves (6 feet under) night after night. Killing themselves through over-indulgence. Of course that is just my interpretation. Great song though and that guitar rift is just intoxicating in itself. |

| Elliott Smith – Between the Bars Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song is definitely about alcoholism. Why is it everyone keeps on saying that there is a girl in this song. I see no reference to a girl in this song. I see a bottle talking to a person it has a relationship with, but aside from the word, "baby," I see no where else in the song that there is a prison, jail, or female in the song. I mean this song makes perfect sense to be about someone suffering from alcoholism, much like Elliot was. I mean, hell, half his songs have references to alcohol already. | |
