| Robbers on High Street – The Fatalist Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| A beautiful song, I see this as being about just giving in to fate and not fighting the opposing forces in one's life any more. | |
| Robbers on High Street – Love Underground Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I've always seen this song as a song about a guy thats too shy to talk to a girl and is forced to hide his crush while she goes and talks to another guy. | |
| They Might Be Giants – She's An Angel Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I find that narrator is a child who meets a girl as a child. Thus, the Shriners giving them "cars" that drive on the sidewalk and also this explains the twenty thousand, million times. Take that perspective and run with it. | |

I find that the best way to look at is is line by line with punctuation (a big role in meaning). For me, it goes like this... We took a back road, we're gonna look at the stars. We took a back road in my car down to the ocean. It's only water and sand and in the ocean we'll hold hands. "But I don't really like you," dressed, and in the best, put on a heartbeat line. Without an answer, the thunder speaks for the sky and on the cold, wet dirt I cry... and on the cold, wet dirt I cry. [I interpret it as going to a secluded beach to spend some time with, say, a girl friend and what isn't important isn't the beach but what it symbolizes. Then she ends the relationship. The guy of course is heartbroken.] Dont you wanna' come with me? Done you wanna' fell my bones on your bones? It's only natural. Dont you wanna' swim with me? Don't you wanna feel my skin on your skin? It's only natural. [I added the latter part just to synopsize the chorus. I interpret the meaning behind this section as a last ditch attempt at clinging to the relationship and also asking "Why don't you want me? I obviously like you so why isn't it mutual?" using clever word play] The cinematic vision ensued like the holiest dream. There's someone calling, an angel wispers my name but the message relayed is the same ("wait till tomorrow, you'll be fine), but it's gone to the dogs in my mind. I always hear them when the dead of night comes calling to save me from the fright, but they can never wrong this right. [I'm leaning towards the fact that it's a poetic way of saying that mind has simply become over stressed and he starts to envision things. The singer hears the pre-recorded words of comfort, "wait till tomorrow, you'll be fine," and that is already being debated in his mind. The dogs symbolize melencholy and the dead of night is the period of traumatic events. In saying they cannot wrong this right, he is saying that, even that, won't destroy the false hope he is so desprately cling to.] I Never had a lover, I never had a soul, and I never had a good time: I never got bold. [The singer is saying that he never really opened up to someone and tried to be romantic. He never really had a relationship and, in the closing chorus, he keeps question the event over and over in his mind.] :::::::::: So, nothing perverted about this song as with most poetic songs, people just have a hard time looking past what they want to see (I am no exception). Poetry is open ended and always up to changing meaning, find out your own interpretation. |
