| Colbie Caillat – Droplets Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| It reminds me a lot of 'The Scarlet Letter' about a forbidden love where both lovers part ways... but the woman is forced by her puritan town to wear a Scarlet letter 'A' on her gown for her act of adultery, and somehow, the man carries around his guilt and shame in the form of a letter 'A' carved into his chest. | |
| Brooke Fraser – Shadowfeet Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Brooke Fraser has been influenced greatly by the writings of C.S. Lewis (obviously). This song is about his book 'The Great Divorce' (definitely worth a look. It's short and easy to read). Lewis paints the picture of Heaven and Hell and the afterlife. When everyone dies (in the story) they board a bus and enter into these green plains where everything is so real, and they are but mere shadows. Every blade of grass hurts their feet as if they were stepping on daggers, as Lewis states in the book, "Reality is harsh on the feet of shadows." But the closer they move towards the Mountains (Heaven), the less shadowy they become, and the more real they get. Not everybody is moving towards the Mountains though. Some can't take the journey and decide to go to the Ghost Town (Hell) because they cannot see what's beyond the Mountain gates, all they hear are rumors that it's a better place than the plains, but others are trying to convince them to go to the Ghost Town. That's what Brooke is talking about when she says "There's distraction buzzing in my head, saying in the Shadows it's easier to stay." Great book. Great song. She is an inspiration. |

| Something Corporate – Konstantine Lyrics | 18 years ago |

It really seems like the entire song, the guy is trying into get into this girls panties.. and then at the end, he succeeds. "I'm sleeping in your living room" pretty much means he couldn't get into her bed, so he's taking the couch. "We've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere" That's pretty obvious. "And we'll go to sleep, but this time not alone" And there he finally gets what he wants. Kinda perverted, but a beautiful song nonetheless. And I'm sure i'm like the 400th person to post this exact interpretation. |
