| The Submarines – You, Me & The Bourgeoisie Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Here we are in the center of the first world It's laid out before us, who are we to break down? such a good point. we live in the first world (vs the third world countries who struggle with life threatening challenges everyday) and it's about how even some of the greatest problems in our lives that we might "break down" over are actually quite trivial when placed into context of the bigger picture. i think the part about how it's easy to fall apart is saying how it's easy to get tied up in other selfish things and we have to remember to stick together and "choose love and choose light" and not fall apart from one another. |

| Coldplay – Strawberry Swing Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
i swear when i hear this song i can taste strawberries and feel sand between my toes and even hear the ocean. to me it's about last summer. i don't know what "strawberry swing" is supposed to mean but to me it's the feeling i got from spending an amazing summer with someone i won't forget. I remember We were walking up to strawberry swing I can't wait 'til the morning Wouldn't wanna change a thing it's one of those songs that helps me 'smile because it happened rather than cry because it's over.' it just seems so pure i can't even tell if i like the other songs because i can't stop playing this one. i love coldplay. |

| Counting Crows – A Long December Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I can't believe more people haven't commented on the line: "I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself To hold on to these moments as they pass" It's crazy how much that line jumps out at me. It describes exactly what I feel when I'm with this guy. We only see each other once in a while and I'm crazy about him but it just never worked out. When i do get to see him, I try SO HARD to take that feeling and burn it into my brain because I know once he's gone I'll spend the next few months trying to imagine his kiss... and it kills me that I never can. and it's so perfect that the line is saying he can't remember how many times he's tried to do it-- like he always tries to take a clear mental picture, but it never works as the picture always becomes fuzzy so quickly, and you end up regretting that you spent the best times trying to make memories that would only fade away. I can relate more than I would like to. Such a sad line if you understand it. |

| Coldplay – Amsterdam Lyrics | 17 years ago |

i've always LOVED coldplay but for some reason i didn't own this album until recently. i played this song and instantly got chills because for some reason i've never heard coldplay sing it but my brother plays it on the piano and i've always loved it but never asked what song it was. it's just such a therapeutic song for me when i'm depressed or anxious... i play it and can feel the vibrations of the piano chords echoing through the house. i don't think it would have the same effect with any other band. coldplay is amazing. |

this song will always remind me of when i fell in love in chicago. the lyrics don't even fit perfectly, but they all remind me of chicago and how it was the happiest time of my life. i think about it literally everyday when i think about him. it's so sad, but i absolutely love it. thank you, sufjan |

| Sara Bareilles – Undertow Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
SUCH a good song for someone who finds themself in this situation. How is it that someone can have you so wrapped around his finger that even though you've been hurt time after time you'll always take him back instantaneously? But somehow she describes it perfectly so it makes sense. Even though it doesn't. UGH. |

| Nirvana – Lounge Act Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
while it would make more sense LITERALLY that it's "still smell HIM on you" i think the official lyrics are "smell HER on you" if you think about it, that part of the song is like him remarking to the "other guy(s)" who he was cheated on with. it sounds like he's in love with this girl but he's not the only guy in her life. what he gets from their relationship is only what he puts in because it's like she could care less and doesn't give him her time or affection...so he feels like he "steals" her away from everyone else whenever he can. even though his best efforts will never be enough because love just won't work unless both people are in it. he knows he's going to get hurt in the end so he wants to protect himself and wear a "shield" of security-- which we all know is just a facade for his broken heart and spirit. he hates how he "smells her on" other guys which makes him jealous and ALMOST angry enough to forget about her. |
