The Presets – Girl and the Sea Lyrics 12 years ago
Although I find the drug explanation plausible I believe this song could be taken quite literally too and it is about a girl who killed herself by drowning.

The National – Anyone's Ghost Lyrics 12 years ago
I think this song is about being in a relationship with somebody who doesn't want to spend time with you. The person makes excuses which narrator later finds to be lies. It is making him feel like a ghost in a person's life as the person fails to see him and and ignores his needs. He doesn't want to go on like that but he also doesn't want to be with anybody else. It is an inner conflict.

His lover tells him that he is as close to her/him as anyone has ever gotten in a month's time. Living underwater possibly could refer to pressure change in the water versus living on earth and could be a reference of them feeling pressured by the other.

"you said it was not inside my heart, it was
you said it should tear a kid apart, it does"

These lines refer to a break up. The person blames everything on the narrator, telling him that it was not inside his heart. That the reason they are breaking up is him not being loving/accepting/understanding enough.

Portishead – Biscuit Lyrics 15 years ago
There is a story behind this song. Here is my guess:

"I'm lost, exposed
Stranger things will come your way"
Its just I'm scared
Got hurt along time ago
I can't make myself heard no matter how hard I scream"

She is laying naked in front of a man after their sexual intercourse and she is wandering in doubts
is this man gonna hurt her also like a previous man did. She is feeling vulnerable beside this man that's why the things will come his way. The man can't hear her fears. She already feels that he is gonna leave her.



"Ohh sensation
Sin, slave of sensation"

This part points to that she can not deny her sensations and be the first one to escape even if she wants to.

"Full fed yet I still hunger"
Torn inside
Haunted I tell myself, yet I still wander
Down, inside, its tearing me apart"

Here she is talking about her physical self which she is satisfied with. Her problem lays way deeper in her soul and her emotions. She cannot work it out alone and it's tearing her apart.


"At last, relief
A mothers son has left me sheer
The shores I seek
Are crimson tastes devine
I can't make myself heard, no matter how hard I scream"

Finally her doubt was approved. She was left. "A mothers son" is used to show that she really wanted to identify with that man and/or that some part of her didn't believed in what her intuition told her. She understands that she was holding on to the wrong shore. And she again wants to scream so somebody could help her but nobody hears her.

By the way the background says "I will never fall in love again" that's what we usually tell to ourselves after we get hurt by love. But we all are "slaves of sensations" and we keep coming back to it.

Dido – White Flag Lyrics 16 years ago
And when we meet
As I'm sure we will
All that was then
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on

......So true... Makes me sad..but still beautiful...

Ladytron – Destroy Everything You Touch Lyrics 16 years ago
I'm probably very off but this song to me is about a woman who wants somebody so much but she is not wanted back at all or maybe is wanted but the other person is scared to be with her for some reason...and she feels it herself...like the other person wants her to go away from him...But still she wants at least some connection with him so she asks him to touch her like this would destroy her and so he could live a life without her how he wishes....

"Destroy everything you touch today
Destroy me this way
Anything that may delay you
Might just save you "

This part pretty much says this

The Spill Canvas – Natalie Marie and 1cc Lyrics 17 years ago
When you fall in love often you see not the person you are with but the person you want to be with (kind of idealistic view of a person). And later when you get to know he/her you notice that she/he isn't as good as you imagine that person was. I think this is what this song is about.
