Lisa Mitchell – Slow Lyrics 16 years ago
gorgeous gorgeous song...

lyrics are self-explanatory...just an ode to a close friend...admitting that they've had their ups and downs but they've always been there...

can't wait for her album to come out...3 more weeks!

Stereophonics – Drowning Lyrics 17 years ago
first time i heard it and ever since i've seen it as being like a continuation of "feel" - closing track off l.s.v.o...

epic song though...mr jones certainly knows how to use his voice to pluck at heartstrings...

Bloc Party – Zephyrus Lyrics 17 years ago
the way i see it...

maybe the theme of ares is throwing me a bit...but i see it as a boyfriend and girlfriend...with the boyfriend having signed up for national service [army/navy/etc]...

wanting to sort things out before he leaves...

U2 – All I Want Is You Lyrics 17 years ago
the bonus track is "october"

October and the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear.
What do I care?

October and kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on
And on.


as for what i think this song means...it's about a girl not understanding true love...she's offering the guy material possessions and asking for material things in return...when all he wants is for to understand it's not what love is...love is wanting the person...

*shrug* a bit brief...

Athlete – Flying Over Bus Stops Lyrics 17 years ago
argh!

no comments?

"If the words I've ever wrote
on the backs of envelopes
I could fold to paper planes
I would fly them thru your veins
Helicopters overhead
Wide awake at 3am
Now the ink runs to your heart
And you know just how I feel"

how could people ignore that?

i mean just because the song's self-explanatory doesn't mean it shouldn't be commented on...

Joy Division – Chance Lyrics 17 years ago
i'm probably being too simplistic to try and tag this song as being about an ended relationship...

with the protagonist's now ex being someone who has been through it all before...moves on...shows no remorse or regrets...

meanwhile the protagonist has to struggle through...try to adjust...try to get back to how [he?] was before it all started...

always love to hear other thoughts...

amazing song all the same...

r.i.p...

UNKLE – When Things Explode (feat. Ian Astbury) Lyrics 18 years ago
my goodness...

the haunting voice of ian ashbury...

such an amazing closing track...

i interpret it as being about a fighting couple...or recently split up...where the guy is looking back on how things were...all the bad stuff...but he can still see how he could've fixed it...

there's still a feeling there that he's admitting it's over...and i wouldn't go as far as he's almost saying "no hard feelings"...but the last line suggests something like that...

*shrugs*...

awesome song...deserved at least one effort at interpreting...

Silversun Pickups – Future Foe Scenarios Lyrics 18 years ago
okies...here we go...first ever comment on here...

"and there's no way to know/our future foe scenarios"

you can't tell who you're gonna fight with in your life...or when...or whatever...

"that's when it turned on me/where bobby pins held angels wings/it's alright"

even the most important people in your life...they're not like that forever...someone you see as an angel might not be that later on down the track...

but the last line leaves reassurance...like that's the way how life is...it's nothing to fear...

so beautifully written though...
