| of Montreal – Everything Disappears When You Come Around Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I'm pretty sure this song is about the effects of drugs. Everything disappears to your senses, and imagery such as "Everything loses its legs when you come around" emphasizes this, and They talk about the abnormalities "They interview the people who are authorities Most are intrigued, some don't care When you come around" Could represent the news stories about drugs. |

| I think the song's about autism, too. My younger brother's got it, and the first time I heard this song I just immediately linked it with him. | |
| The Dresden Dolls – Sex Changes Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Imo, definitely another brilliant Dresden Dolls song with more than one meaning. Yes, at first glance it appears to be about having a sex change. If you look a little closer, though, it appears to be about abortions and unplanned pregnancies. "It leaves you feeling pretty hollow/It might be nice to look at/Don't forget you're stuck with it tomorrow/And tomorrow, and tomorrow." Could show that having a sex change could seem novel at first but would soon wear off. It could also mean that having a baby would be cute, but you're stuck with it forever, and that even though the abortion could leave you "feeling pretty hollow", it could be the best option. Obviously, I'm not going to go through every single point made in this song with these references, but I'm sure you people are clever enough to find them :) |

| Blink-182 – I Miss You Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
If you know anything about Blink-182, you will know that the Nightmare Before Christmas references ("We can live like Jack and Sally if we want" and "We'll have halloween on christmas") are actually directed to Travis Barker's wife (who was then his girlfriend) Shanna Moakler. They even had a Nightmare Before Christmas-themed-wedding on Halloween. The reason that this song is remiscent of The Lovecats is because Mark Hoppus was listening to that song when he was inspired by Phil Thornalley using a double bass in the video. Now. Can people stop taking the lyrics QUITE so literally? "The angel from my nightmares" etc is not referring to someone who is dead. They are METAPHORS used to describe a past love who is haunting a man who can't seem to get her out of his head. "Like indecision to call you..." He doesn't know whether he should call the girl or let her go. "Hear your voice of treason" Could possibly mean that she cheated on him at some point, however he obviously still wants her back because he wants her to "come home and stop this pain tonight". Now the chorus confuses me a little, but I think I might have it covered. Basically, the main vocal part is saying "Don't waste your time on me, you're already a voice inside my head" because that's what he's trying to convince himself; that he's over the girl and doesn't need her to "waste her time" by helping him get over her or whatever. However, the the backing voice, slightly quieter, could be a sort of inside voice, revealing his true feelings which are, quite simply, "I miss you." However you want to take it, this song is amazing, heart-wrenching, and definitely show how much Blink have grown up over time. |
