The Cliks – My Heroes SUV Lyrics 17 years ago
arg... why is this band not more well known? i love this song, i had it stuck in my head for about a month.

i think it's about dissatisfaction with america and politics. washington is lying, hollywood turns anything that was art into plastic, and america as a whole just watches the war like it's a sitcom. there are no more heroes.

Ben Folds – Still Fighting It Lyrics 17 years ago
This song makes me cry everytime, because it makes me think of us picking up my brother from his mother's house. especially the part about the roast beef combo, because we don't have much money and don't get out much, so it totally reminds me of my father assuring my brother that he can order something and that he doesnt have to pay.


...yeah

Ben Folds – Dog Lyrics 17 years ago
i think this song is about commitment. the dog walks the same path over and over every day, and he's saying that he wants to give in to that life of routine with the person he's singing to, hence:

"cause I
want to wear the path that's true
and I
want to wear the path with you "

and the lines about putting their teeth in the same jar, settling down and buying a house and a car, etc.

Rilo Kiley – Plane Crash in C Lyrics 17 years ago
this song is about me. plain and simple.


because i relate so much to it, this is what it means to me:

i have a lot of anxieties, and it's insanely hard for me to do simple little things like go to the store and buy milk or go to a party or just keep my life together. i feel like the main character has difficulties doing little things like that, and she watches everyone else in her life pull them off so easily, and she feels like they're maybe flaunting it.


but yeah, maybe it's just me.

Rufus Wainwright – Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen cover) Lyrics 17 years ago
my absolute favorite line is

"I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?"

because it reminds me of being in a relationship where the other person doesn't have that same love of music. You try and explain, but it's in vain. so you're breaking up, and you're trying to explain it through music, but you catch yourself and remember, they don't understand.

that's really specific, i know, but some lyrics just stick with you...

Relient K – Who I Am Hates Who I've Been Lyrics 17 years ago
jesus christmas i love this song. i think everyone can relate to it. I had a really crapy life, and sat around sulking about it. Until one day i realized I should move on. So to me, this song is a way of apologizing to my friends for being such a burden on them. I'm sorry i sucked so much, but i'm ready to never be that person again.

yep.

Metric – Rock Me Now Lyrics 17 years ago
alright, I think it's about a girl who was born into a very traditional family/religion (maybe amish?) and when she was young, she moved to las vegas with her mom. She likes living in the city, but it's hard to shake off the traditions she was brought into. she meets a guy she really likes, and he proposes (offering her his last name). She's confused as to what to do, because she likes the guy but the thought of marriage just brings her back to her roots, and she doesn't want to get trapped into the suffocating tradition of marriage.

Louis XIV – Ball Of Twine Lyrics 17 years ago
Why has nobody commented on this yet? I really like this song, because it's very different. It's not overtly sexual like the other songs, I think there's a deeper meaning to it, like how everything on the radio all sounds the same.

i've always thought of it as being about getting tested for any sort of disease, not just AIDS.

Eve 6 – Hey Montana Lyrics 17 years ago
I always pictured her as being a girl from a small town in montana who leaves the rural town in order to make it on her own, but not as an actress. She get's a temporary job as a waitress, but the pressure of paying for bills on her own forces her to get stuck in a rut. The customers are sleazy, and nobody sees her for the beautiful soul she is. The soul crushing job leads her to drugs ("scores on the way"), hence the weight loss ("her bones and the truth show").

I picture the narrator being a guy at the diner who clearly sees that she's just not meant for this town.
