Oh, and I had to keep him a bit of a secret because the age difference was considered scandalous or what-have-you. Psh. We weren't even alone together. |

| John Mayer – Love Soon Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
This song is basically the story of my first love. We are waiting for some time to pass before we get back together. It is a rather complicated story. But, in the end, rather beautiful.
He is five years older than me. I turned eighteen today. My mom was sort of present when we fell in love. My family was very close to him. I only got to kiss him once before things went awry. He is such a driven person; I was the last thing he needed in his life. But, he was the first one to say anything.
Every lyrics mocks me. |

| Andrew Bird – Heretics Lyrics

This song is written from the point of view of the heretics to their persecutors. The heretics are somewhat incredulous that they are not considered any sort of threat, that they are easily disposed of in death.
This song really paints the stuggle of the martyr as a jolly sort of thing that both sides should enjoy.
Andrew Bird wins at life. |

To me, this song always hit home. It's about a hopeless romantic falling in love with love... and not with the person with whom he or she is in love. It's about a dreamer who does not act on his or her feelings out of fear or doubt or low self-esteem or some other form of timidity despite him or herself. The connection isn't there. And, no matter how this person tries, the music that he or she hears in his or her mind doesn't match with his or her actions. |

| Regina Spektor – Carbon Monoxide Lyrics
| 18 years ago

I am not sure that I have anything to add, but I might as well contribute my interpretation.
I believe this song is about those who cannot handle the corporate, fast-moving, and cold society in which they live. They are struggling with the everyday problems and are simply trying to keep up with the industrial world that is churning out "carbon monoxide" (which is useful and deadly). They cannot get their "socks on right", but have to keep walking. The only thing they can do is to keep on walking, even as they lose their footing. However, the fact is that the lovers in this story are slowly dying. They are too caught up in the logistics of everyday life, of struggling with the everyday deadly gas of carbon monoxide, that they lose their happiness... their will to live... their gas masks. And, what happens? These supposedly lazy people, these rejects of a harsh society, commit suicide. |
