| Matt Nathanson – Kiss Quick Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This is probably my favorite song on this album. It gives me chills. By the way he sings it, I think it probably has the most intense feelings behind it for him as well. It kind of reminds me of Bulletproof Weeks. | |
| Matt Nathanson – Modern Love Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| "They sing me love songs" not "They send me love songs". | |
| The Antlers – Corsicana Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| The line should be spelled "Now the door's too hot to touch" | |
| The Dodos – When Will You Go Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Combine the two: Who knew that you would fall away? I think of you as highly guarded It's easy when you call to me I don't know whether I'm told I'm wanted and can't relate To things that fall and disintegrate So why do you ask me: When will you go? |

| The Dillinger Escape Plan – Gold Teeth on a Bum Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Condemning religion? The religious are the first to cry foul and point the blame. The end is a plea. There is no evidence for God, so how can one believe? Just show me some tiny little sign, so that I can be saved. Unfortunately, it never comes. | |
| Matt Nathanson – Car Crash Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Apparently I have a different interpretation than everyone else so far. This is about wanting to feel car crashing, bomb dropping, earth moving love. This is why he keeps using the phrase "falling". It is about wanting to fall in love. It is an uplifting, happy song. That is why I don't buy the bottling sadness interpretation. "I want to let go and know that I'll be alright" It is about wanting to be able to let go of inhibitions and completely put yourself at the mercy of someone else, and doing this without having to fear that the other person is going to leave you or not feel the same way. |

| The Antlers – Wake Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This is essentially the theme song to my life. I can't believe people haven't commented yet. I get chills every time I hear "It was easier to lock the doors and kill the phones than to show my skin, because the hardest thing is never to repent for someone else, it's letting people in." |

| Nine Inch Nails – Head Down Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| So I'm going through and trying to figure out the best albums of the year, and without a doubt I'm going to make this best song of the year. | |
| The Helio Sequence – Lately Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| There are comparisons to Croce, but it could even be a modernization of the old standard "I Get Along Without You Very Well." | |
| The Dodos – Joe's Waltz Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
What is this about? I really don't know. So the only thing I can think of is that there is some religious imagery: "forgiven," etc. It sounds like a religious person trying to convince someone on the street. Losing patience. "Maybe they'll like it maybe they won't." "Simple you might think, but wary of reason." Sounds like how religion oversimplifies things and throws reason out the window. "Hey there young man come understand the ways you need to heal." The religious person trying to get someone to listen. The last stanza. The religious person chastises the listener. Then they leave. But you're on the phone list by that point and you'll never stop getting calls from them to tell you that "you need help." Then the title of the song: Joe's Waltz. Maybe he is referring to Joseph Smith and Mormonism. Maybe that is way off, but I don't see anyone else trying. |

| TV on the Radio – Dancing Choose Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Really? How do you know? I came on because I thought I had the revelation it is about Bush. "from his boots to his pants to his comments and his rants" about him being from Texas and his scare tactics. "and he can't understand that he's not in command; the decisions underwritten" well, no one would really let him be truly in command. The whole next part about trying to make and keep America the richest country and not helping poor third world countries. Etc. There are definitely problems I haven't worked out with this interp, and I don't feel like continuing on, but I think if you listen with this in mind you get a really interesting viewpoint on it. |

| Elbow – Grace Under Pressure Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I wonder if that line was at all inspired by the famous line in Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow: "They are in love. Fuck the war." | |
| Elbow – The Bones Of You Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| How about that "jazz bar" type of sound as the end. It makes me think he sort of retires to alcohol at the bar to escape. | |
| Band of Horses – Islands on the Coast Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This is great. Anyone familiar with Animal Collective? I feel like some stuff is borrowed from them in this song. | |
| Animal Collective – For Reverend Green Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Does anyone think this may be referencing Reverend Green from the Cormac McCarthy novel Blood Meridian? A running child's bloody with burning knees A careless child's money flew in the trees A camping child's happy with winter's freeze A lucky child don't know how lucky she is Children references, plus He'll only be a friend if he touches your breast The Reverend Green in the novel is accused of pedophilia and killed for it? I think there is quite a strong correlation overall. |
