Vampire Weekend – Oxford Comma Lyrics 13 years ago
I assume the "window/wall" lyrics are a reference to lyrics in the Lil John & the Eastside Boyz song "Get Low."

James – Laid Lyrics 15 years ago
I think this song is the ultimate ode to a dysfunctional relationship. They have great sex, they fight, they role play ("dress me up in women's clothes"), he tries to get away from her, she tracks him down...& it always ends up the same way, with them getting back together. I think it's wonderful.

Pixies – Hey Lyrics 15 years ago
I think it's just about us being chained by our instincts to procreate--also maybe to fall in love & create an family.

I'm fairly certain this song is about the person to whom the record is dedicated.

Prince – Purple Rain Lyrics 17 years ago
Oops... continued...

He doesn't want to be only this person's lover - he wants to lead her to Christ so she may find eternal life.

Prince – Purple Rain Lyrics 17 years ago
I've always heard the song has religious meaning - Prince has always been spiritual. I've heard 2 theories:

1) When the world ends, the red blood of sinners against a purple sky will look line purple rain (red & blue make purple). He doesn't want the friend to be one of the sinner - he wants to lead her to God, so she'll be in the purple rain waiting for God to take her to heaven.

2) "Bathed in the blood of Christ" - Christ's red blood against a blue sky will look like purple rain. He wants the friend to be "save" through Christ.

My Brightest Diamond – Riding Horses Lyrics 18 years ago
If I remember correctly what Shara told me, this song is about childhood memories of her & her sister playing together.

And I believe georgie's crumbs refers to avant garde composer George Crumb.

The person in the song - who isn't a lover - committed suicide.

My Brightest Diamond – Dragonfly Lyrics 18 years ago
P.S. I think in the end it's about moving on with your life, even if you are scared of "that black."

My Brightest Diamond – Dragonfly Lyrics 18 years ago
The song is about a traumatic event in the character's life, not just the breakup of a relationship.

My Brightest Diamond – Something of an End Lyrics 18 years ago
The person about whom the song is written committed suicide. Many of the songs on the album have the same subject matter.
