| Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton – The Last Page Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I think the first line of this song references MacBeth: "fair is foul and foul is fair hover through the fog and filthy air" = "hover through the foggy vapours" |
|
| Metric – Poster of a Girl Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Thanks for writing this all out ! But I think it's "Jusqu'Ã ce que je rentre la clin d'Å“il" during the second part instead of "Jusqu'Ã ce que je rentre avec l'un d'eux". I think it means "until I give them a nod" or something to that effect. | |
| Lana Del Rey – Body Electric Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Yes. She re-uses a lot of the same motifs/references and cliches a lot. These lyrics are similar to Summertime Sadness. | |
| Lana Del Rey – Cola (Pussy) Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Yeah definitely literal. Lana's not really one to beat around the bush... (no pun intended) | |
| Madonna – Ray of Light Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
The original song is here: http://www.whosampled.com/cover/view/15352/Madonna-Ray%20of%20Light_Curtiss%20Maldoon-Sepheryn/ The instrumentation for the chorus is completely different but the line "And I feel like I just got home." I think it's fine that she's covering something (especially when she makes it so much more interesting) but I wish she would give some credit when asked about it. |

| Land of Talk – Blangee Blee Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I hear the chorus as "We spend our nights making up riddles" and I see it as being pretty explicitly about being in a band and probably the whole conflict of obscuring the truth for the sake of music. We turn things inside out when we put them into song and the finished product has to be reinterpreted by each individual listener, all getting a different meaning out of it. They essentially become riddles, and the artists become writers of myth. That's the dynamic I get out of this song anyways... Great tune! | |
| Lana Del Rey – Dark Paradise Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I was pretty disappointed in this song too to be honest, I don't see why everyone loves it so much! It sounds like Evanescence & Beyonce wrote this song for Demi Lovato and then Lana swiped it up. | |
| Sleigh Bells – Tell 'Em Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I'm surprised at these interpretations saying Alexis is pointing fingers at the younger generation... I personally think it's more of Alexis embodying society's views towards youth and just rehashing all the cliche and demeaning phrases used towards kids. The older generation (and even the media if we wanna go a bit further) generally believe that all kids are about now a days are things like "cocaine, champagne, cocaine, champagne" and they're constantly saying "do you really want to be that way?" urging kids to change their ways and conform. I feel like the title "Tell 'Em" really hints at the irony of it, because it's like she's telling the kids to rebel and resist against what the greater society is telling them to do, and basically "Tell 'em off." --- I could be completely off base but that's what I'm thinking. Maybe Sleigh Bells aren't a band that uses irony in this way, but I really can't think of it as looking down on young people when a lot of their other songs seem to be centered around youth culture in a non-demeaning way. And after all they're a rock band, not some angry group of old geezers. |

Hey I already posted about this on Dark Paradise, but for some reason Songmeanings completely changed the lyrics I put up... Those ones up there (riddled with mistakes) are not the ones I intended to be up there, and it won't let me put mine back up :( So sorry I can't edit them for some reason but here are the ones I originally wrote up: My old man is a bad man but I can't deny the way he holds my hand And he grabs me, he has me by my heart He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past He doesn't mind I have an LA crass way about me He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart Swimming pool glimmering darling White bikini off with my red nail polish Watch me in the swimming pool bright blue ripples You sit sippin' on your black Cristal, yeah Light of my life, fire of my loins Be a good baby, do what I want Light of my life, fire of my loins Give me them gold coins, gimme them coins And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden Kiss me on my open mouth Ready for you My old man is a tough man but He got a soul as sweet as blood red jam And he shows me, he knows me Every inch of my tar black soul He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life In fact he says he thinks it's why he might like about me Admires me, the way I roll like a Rolling Stone Likes to watch me in the glass room bathroom, Chateau Marmont Slippin' on my red dress, puttin' on my makeup Glass room perfume Cognac lilac fume Says it feels like heaven to him Light of his life, fire of his loins Keep me forever, tell me you own me Light of your life, fire of your loins Tell me you own me, gimme them coins And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden Kiss me on my open mouth Now I'm off to the races, laces Leather on my waist is tight and I am fallin' down I can see your face is shameless, Cipriani's basement Love you but I'm going down God I'm so crazy, baby, I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving I'm your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island Raising hell all over town Sorry 'bout it My old man is a thief and I'm gonna stay and pray with him 'til the end But I trust in the decision of the lord to watch over us Take him when he may, if he may I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him Who else is gonna put up with me this way? I need you, I breathe you, I never leave you They would rue the day I was alone without you You're lying with your gold chain on, cigar hanging from your lips I said "Hon' you never looked so beautiful as you do now, my man." And we're off to the races, places Ready, set the gate is down and now we're goin' in to Las Vegas pay us, Casino Oasis, honey it is time to spin Boy you're so crazy, baby, I love you forever not maybe You are my one true love, you are my one true love You are my one true love |

Hey guys I have the lyrics exactly as everyone is saying them and yet for some reason Songmeanings has changed them and won't let me put them back... My old lyrics are still in there but for some reason they've been overwritten by SM, this happened with a few other tracks, anyone know why? Sorry I really wish the right lyrics could be up there but here's what I had before they changed them: All my friends tell me I should move on I'm lying in the ocean singing your song That's how you sang it Loving you forever can't be wrong Even though you're not here, wont move on That's how we played it And theres no remedy for memory Your face is like a melody It won't leave my head Your soul is haunting me and telling that everything is fine But I wish i was dead Every time I close my eyes It's like a dark paradise No one compares to you I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side All my friends ask me why I stay strong Tell em when you find true love it lives on Thats why I stay here And theres no remedy for memory Your face is like a melody It won't leave my head Your soul is haunting me and telling that everything is fine But I wish i was dead Every time I close my eyes It's like a dark paradise No one compares to you I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side Every time I close my eyes It's like a dark paradise No one compares to you But there's no you except in my dreams tonight I don't wanna wake up from this tonight I don't wanna wake up from this tonight There's no relief, I see you sleep And everybody's rushing but i can feel you touching me There's no release, I feel you in my dreams Telling me I'm fine Every time I close my eyes It's like a dark paradise No one compares to you I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side Every time I close my eyes It's like a dark paradise No one compares to you But there's no you except in my dreams tonight I don't wanna wake up from this tonight I don't wanna wake up from this tonight |

| Sleigh Bells – Straight A's Lyrics | 13 years ago |

|
| The Kills – Sugar Baby Lyrics | 13 years ago |

|

| The Naked And Famous – Young Blood Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| SUUUUUCH a good song. | |
| Christina Aguilera – Elastic Love Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| sounds more like M.I.A. feat. Christina to me, great track. | |
| Stars – Barricade Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I definitely thought it was about a girl at first, i mean it's natural to think so with Torq being a guy and being straight. That said, i think it's awesome that it's about two guys and it makes it way more interesting. I just think the line "and run your fingers through your hair" kind of makes you think it might be about a girl. but then you'd also think that a woman wouldn't be beating a random man up.. anyways awesome song, one of my favourites from this album. |
|
| The Kills – Last Day of Magic Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| sounds like Sonic Youth | |
| The Kills – Monkey 23 Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| wow i never realised it was just two lines being repeated, it feels like so much more when you actually listen to it. beautiful. | |
| The Kills – Alphabet Pony Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| LOL, you never should have looked them up. | |
| The Kills – Gypsy Death And You Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
i definitely think she is laughing.. its like she made a funny face and then Hotel looked at her and they burst out laughing or they just made eye contact and it was funny or something.. lol i do not think she's crying. anyways beautiful and simple song, love the kills. |
|
| Crystal Castles – Celestica Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
i know it's a tiny thing but she says "INto nowhere" and i'm not sure "Woven with the utmost care" is correct, it sounds different to me, like maybe she says "atmosphere" and something other than "Woven" anyways i lovelovelove the song and CC. thanks for posting these! |

| Ohbijou – Make It Gold Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| oh my god i just found this song today, it's amazing! | |
| Émilie Simon – Femme Fatale Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| nevermind, its a cover of The Velvet Underground. The original doesn't sound like Imagine because its faster, but this one does since its slowed down a lot. | |
| A Fine Frenzy – The World Without Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This is definitely my favourite of the new album. | |
| School of Seven Bells – If I Had Glass Hands and Feet Lyrics | 14 years ago |

| School of Seven Bells – iamundernodisguise Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| hhahahahhaa, meminem, totally agree. | |
| Broken Social Scene – Bruised Ghosts Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This isn't BSS, just because she performed it with them doesn't mean its their song, Feist performs Intuition with BSS sometimes. This will be on Amy's new album. | |
| Metric – Blindness Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song sounds like it could be heavily related to the movie Blindness with Julianne Moore. Its also a novel, i haven't read it but i just watched the movie. As i watched it i compared every line of the song to a certain part and all of it fits perfectly, especially the little rant part at the climax. i won't go indepth because i don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, its a pretty good movie. |

| Metric – Satellite Mind Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Hey i just thought of something, maybe the funeral she went to was Heath Ledger's? She said herself in another interview that she was friends with him and she DID go to his funeral.. http://metric.buzznet.com/user/video/3919161/popsicle-interview-emily-haines-metric/?p=1 seeeeeeee. :) |
|
| Metric – Satellite Mind Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I like your interpretation but the lyric correction you made is wrong. Its "drift into a deep FOG" "from THE satellite mind" "SICK sense of a calling" These are all in the lyric booklet, trust me people. |
