| Elliott Smith – Oh Well, Okay Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"If you get a feeling next time you see me, do me a favor and let me know." The song's building up to this line. He loves the person but they mess with him. The relationship is unhealthy. Encounters only leave him wondering what went wrong. He's ultimately saying if you get a feeling next time you see me, WARN me. Let me know... Warn me so I don't fall for it all over again. It's typical of people to say this when they're in a situation where they clearly care more than the other person. It's like, give me a heads up that you're going to mess with me because I'm so into you I won't see it coming. But at the same time not blaming them for messing because they're playing the bigger person. Elliott plays the bigger person in most of him songs. Or at least he tries and then relishes in the fact that he can't. |

"if you're gonna go your way i guess i'll carry myself along" amazing line though it doesn't seem like she has moved on at all from this person "i've been talking to strangers at the local bar and i wish they were you" she's not over the person at all and that's the best part of the song. she can drive away from this person but she's never really going to get away. |

| The Be Good Tanyas – Only In The Past Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This is by far the best song by the Be Good Tanyas. I agree with those who commented before me that the passion with which the girls sing and play their music makes the song what it is. The person in the song has been holding onto memories of a special someone and has finally reached a moment when they realize that this special someone has moved on. What makes the song even better is that it is about a dream. Therefore, anyone who has ever dreamt of someone from their "past" should be able to attest to the brilliance of this song. One last thing- trying to wave to someone who doesn't wave back... great metaphor. Overall amazing song. |
