| Keane – Allemande Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Looking into the allemande (dance), I think we can draw some parallels... The allemande was originally a group dance (the name, which is from the French word for "German", comes from the fact that the dance was supposedly conceived in Germany) that involved couples linking arms or hands, spinning around each other, and then switching off with someone else. That element of the dance has carried over into other dances, today in square dance and contra dance, where the word allemande still refers to moves in which partners link hands or arms and spin around each other before splitting off. I think this relates to the song... two people were together, linked, and they "spun around" each other for a short time before breaking off to other partners, because it just couldn't work between them. In effect, they did an "allemande." Beautiful parallel to draw I think, a wonderful reference... |

In the second verse, the lyrics are absolutely, "I still remember Grandma Dixie's wake" It just doesn't make sense with "way." I hate how so many lyrics on this site never get fixed >. |

| Linkin Park – Valentine's Day Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Okay, this song is NOT shallow at all. It's probably the most meaningful song in the world to me; just because it mentions Valentine's Day doesn't make it trite. I almost always cry when I listen to this song. I lost my best friend and lover on Valentine's Day four years ago, and it feels like Chester is singing the story of that day. The moment when you first hear the word "dead"... it does feel like your insides crumble away, like the rest of the world is gone, and if you haven't experienced it I can't accurately describe it to you. But he hits the nail on the head, like he's been there... I just want to thank LP for writing this amazing and heartfelt song It means the world to me. |

| Kaiser Chiefs – Everything Is Average Nowadays Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| To me, it seems like this song is about society nowadays and how nothing is extraordinary anymore... "when everyone is special, no one is." Hence why everything is average nowadays, because nothing sticks out, everything is just part of the muck of apathy and intolerance that is the world today. | |

Thank you, riverscuomo... I totally agree with you, this song is all about Steinbeck's "The Moon Is Down." From the perspective of the townspeople, fighting against the soldiers that are occupying their town, the whole song makes sense. "This is ours, ours, ours..." |
