| Elbow – Magnificent (She Says) Lyrics

|
It's about the beauty and responsibility of raising a girl. Time to grow up and do everything one can do to protect her as a dad should. Also the potential of a world of healthy women feeling protected is the ultimate goal. |

Such a powerful song of loss in a relationship. If you've ever lost a loved one due to your mistake, then this resonates. DS is genius! |

Possibly, writers not riders. Writers/ media trying to hold us back, but they can't because love will allow us to win. It's a positive song about the strength of love overcoming racism. |

| Seal – Human Beings Lyrics

Seal is a genius and underrated. This song is about the desire to be something more than we are. To be closer to God, or to be number 1. We push so hard to be non human, that we lose our humanity. We forget that we're just human beings. We get to a place where we feel we're at the top, but we're often forgetting who we've hurt, used or forgotten to get there. It's a song of humility and simplicity. Brilliant! |

I suspect this is his most powerfully moving song as it\'s written with such passion. DS captures the pain of a lost relationship that he seems to blame on himself. But can\'t most of us relate to "the love that got away" because we screwed up? That\'s what makes it worse. Such a beautiful song. |

| Gary Numan – My Name Is Ruin Lyrics

This is a very dark song about the intrinsic evil of humanity and the discovery of the darkness that lurks within us all. Finding my way to you is the discovery of (this person) acknowledging his/her depth of evil and then the wonderful promise to unleash it. \nThis could be my new walk out song!! Brilliant. |

Love this song. Seems to be a song about meaning and productivity, contribution to society and truth. Another fantastic song. This band should be a R&R HOF entry |

| UNKLE – Follow Me Down Lyrics

Great song and probably my favorite from this group. Couldn't this be about being on a trip and the responsibility of introducing someone to come with you on a journey that each one of us endures differently?
Love or drugs, this is a song of trust, and uncertainty. |

| Broken Social Scene – Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl Lyrics
| 5 years ago
|
Such a beautiful song I had to see what other people thought it was about. This is a masterpiece lyrically and melodically. Glad I found it as I cherish it trying not to play it too much.
BTW...I think it's about a woman thinking about her adolescence and how she missed her ability to be a charming brat again. She's talking to her 17 year old self as she misses her best time of her life, wishing she could just stop the wheels of adulthood (park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor). Do we all wish we could stop everything and be able to be 17 again? Just for a little bit? Adulting has it's moments and this bit of nostalgia is quite charming. |

| Talk Talk – Inheritance Lyrics

This is about the spirit of nature and it's elegant and poised way of being so graceful through what life really is. A drive to survive and procreate, build and repeat. The song is a salute to life and the struggle to exist, celebrated by spring, the rebirth of a hard perennial cycle. One of the greatest songs ever written! |

One of the greatest songs ever written. Along with Inheritance! This song is about someone close to him that had an addiction. |

I think it's a song about crossing a threshold that brings him to complete commitment to love, or to a new spiritual life. Like many of his songs....genius, beautiful, and under appreciated. |

| London Grammar – Strong Lyrics

Wow...tough song to figure out. It seems as though it's about disappointment in someone not being strong enough to be true and honest. Or perhaps the singer is tired of making excuses for someone that has let her down. Nevertheless, beautiful melody and mood. |

| XTC – Sacrificial Bonfire Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
|
I think this song is about the ignorance and fear that mankind has and his attempts to control his environment from superstitious behaviour. So the sacrificial bonfire is man's attempt to understand and make changes in his environment, but it's done in a way that seems almost absurd. We just don't have the answers to life. Fantastic song from an amazing album!! |

This is such a beautiful song and an incredible band. They make such harmonious music, with images that are so clearly captured in their lyrics that you can feel the experience of the lyrics yourself. Truly amazing. Was lucky enough to see them in concert years ago and became a fan immediately. Beautiful people making beautiful music, and I don't think I've met too many people like them. Yes...this song seems to be about overcoming your doubt, and fighting your fears. |

I thought the whole idea of the CT was that the lyrics weren't important. It wasn't supposed to be interpreted because they sang words that fit and sounded in harmony. To try to translate in interpret the lyrics may be a total waste of time. |

| Beach House – New Year Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|

Favorite song on the incredible album "Bloom". Certainly reminds me of the Cocteau Twins with it's harmonious, yet ethereal melody. Amazing sound and lyrics. I think this song is about a woman that grows older and tries to reason with herself why life is slipping away and she hasn't realized her life dreams. Emotions, dreams, hopes have gently faded away and yet she keeps telling herself that she still has time to accomplish some of her dreams. Could be a self realization for Victoria, or I could be completely wrong. Nevertheless, one of the best songs since Norway, and Gila!! Great job by Baltimore native Alex Scally!! |

| Filter – Skinny Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
Great song! It's definitely a national anthem for the misfit/little guy. You can put so many adjectives in place of "Skinny", but it's a song of encouragement that says.... "F" them, stay strong, know who you are, and this will make you a better and stronger person. Love the lyrics..... " It just means that the shit has just begun". So powerful.
For anyone that's been an outcast, minority, or just felt like you were being persecuted....this is a fantastic song. |

Great melody and electronic drive. This is a sleeper for the CD. Love the name NIobe which I guess has become a symbol for sadness, tragedy and loneliness. Perhaps this is a song about the sadness from separation of a loved one. |

| Cocteau Twins – Summerhead Lyrics

One of my favorite Cocteau Twin songs because it has lots of energy and great harmony. As far as the lyrics I agree with ChiLulu. Just to add another thought, it may be that she has realized who she is and is safe. Safe at last ....seeing her thoughts in order.
Perhaps she sees herself as a selfish, self-absorbed career oriented person that knows that this is who she is and is not a good person to be in a relationship with. She doesn't want to change. (I just want to be what I am).
Kind of an enlightening/breakthrough/ah ha moment song |

| Grand Avenue – She Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
Wow....what an incredibly beautiful song! The layers and harmony gives us an ethereal and enigmatic feeling, just like the woman that is being described in the song "She".
I'm guessing that its about that elusive woman that we have been attracted to because of our inability to connect with her. Anything she says, doesn't make sense because she doesn't want to connect with us. We don't understand so we make excuses for her, furthering our desire to understand her.
In a nutshell ......Its about rejection from a woman that we adore. |

| Japan – Ghosts Lyrics

I love this song and cannot believe that during a work-out today I heard it as a techno/rave version sung by a young lady. Nice song and yet the lyrics are still haunting. A certain testament that this is a quality song, no matter what genre it's performed.
It's so poignant because this song touches everyone that's had a set back, fear or doubt. I challenge anyone to find music that is as layered, focused, creative and genuine as David Sylvian and the artists affiliated with Japan. Maybe...Mark Hollis and crew? |

| Killing Joke – Millenium Lyrics

There is optimism here and yes it's about a rebirth/cleansing that will eradicate our old ways and hopefully allow a new clean life. Perhaps Millenium is a metaphor for the corruption and injustice that we presently live in and Jazz sings of the day the powerful natural force comes and cleanses the unjust society we live in. Great song!! |

This song and Inheritance are probably the best songs ever written. The soulful simplicity of these songs is brilliant. Remember they were written years ago and they are still masterpieces. Do you think you'll ever hear anything so peaceful and moving ever again? Good luck....these songs are amazing.
BTW...it sounds like it's about the vulnerability of mankind and the need for guidance and faith in God. |
