| Copeland – Not So Tough Found Out Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"Not so tough, found out, found out." The Singer's shell is opened by a lover. "Feel so warm, sun fire, sun fire." The singer's life is happy because of the lover. "Not so strong, lost out, lost out." The singer is not good enough; loses the lover. "Twice as sweet, come 'round, come 'round." Lover comes back; love is twice as sweet come 'round again. "Not so fast, come back, come back." Lover's going away again; singer tries to keep lover. "Steal away a smile, a smile." Singer becomes depressed, anxious, desperate. "Not right now, lay down, lay down." Lover leaves singer again; then lover dies. "Not so tough, found out, found out. "Hold me, you're here and then you're gone, love, Like a dream, like a sigh. Tell me you're hearing every word now, Like a song, love, like a song." --- At least, that's my interpretation. |

| Copeland – Sleep Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I believe that this song is not about a love that the character currently has; I believe it is about the girl he dreams of, and wants to fall in love with, but does not know. I mean, seriously, think about it- Why would he say that he wanted to see what she looked like if he already knew what she looked like? This song, to me, is not about a guy who is in love with a girl but can't believe it's real. I believe it's a guy who is in love with the idea of a girl and wishes that she was real. |

| Copeland – Where's My Head Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
To start with, the lyrics are wrong: Where I hung my coat, it's where I left my head So you'd be wise to doubt every word I ever said 'Cause I just want to eat some chocolate And go straight back, I'll go straight back to bed Where's my head? Where's my head? Where's my head? Where's my head? And I'd search for reason I'm awake To hear this song march, blasphemy I'd stake And the only chance that I have tonight Is if something made my dreams not right And my love shows up in a dress of white Where's my head? Where's my head? Where's my head? Where's my head? --- That said; I think that this song is about a young man who loves a girl but is not loved in return; he can't sleep, because of the devastation he is feeling. The first verse would then be him trying to justify and explain why he can't sleep, and recognizing that he's not making any sense; he just wants to be left alone with his pain. The second would then, in the case of unrequited love, be about how he would give anything for her, but knows he can't have her unless he dreams... Which he does for the rest of the album. |

| Copeland – When You Thought You'd Never Stand Out Lyrics | 17 years ago |

To my mind, you have to look at the whole album to figure out what this song is. I'm suggesting that it's sort of a rock opera... A rock opera about dreams - the first song being the "main character" falling asleep. That would make this song appear to be the last few snatches of dreams he catches in the night; and this song includes much more reference to actual events and memory than the others, so it seems that the main character is getting closer and closer to reality, and thus waking up from his night of dreams. The whole dreaming idea, I think, makes it more obvious why the vibraphones are so important in the first two songs. Anyways. What does this song have to do with that? Well, the first bit is him dreaming about controlling his own story, and doing what he wants, but almost dying. The second verse, methinks, is basically a remembrance of childhood emotions, tied into an unwillingness to wake up and return to the painful reality that sent him into these dreams (apparently, that he cannot have his love). The "They're gonna' come to light tonight" lines would then be about his dreams, which causes them to make a lot more sense. And when moving on to the beautiful "Didn't?"s, we can see that he's then dreaming about talking to his love, and asking her in a calm voice that he would only achieve in a dream why she refuses to love him back, when *he* was the one who picked her out of the crowd and told her he loved her, and nobody else. As far as the "I don't"s, I still haven't figured that part out. However, regardless- at the end, obviously, all of his dreams entertwine into one powerful urge to make sense of his night of dreams, while on the brink of sleep and wakefulness. I mean, I could be wrong. But that's what it feels like to me. |
