Kill Paradise – Beautiful Colours Lyrics 17 years ago
i think nick wrote this song to explain to someone that he loves why he has to leave them. the part 'if everything came true, imagine when I see you, imagine what I'd do' suggests that he badly wants to see this person, but he can't. instead he has to follow his heart (hence the whole 'gracing he stage, but I'm turning the page, that moments gone, so I wrote you this song' part and the ' grab my hand now. and feel my insight [I'm pretty sure its insight there] that this is where I should be' part. in general, what I'm trying to say is that this is a song about doing what you know you should be doing, even though it comes with consequences.

Regina Spektor – On the Radio Lyrics 17 years ago
its a song about one of your loved ones dying.

this is how it works
itfeels a little worse
than when we drove our hearse
right through that screaming crowd

means that the loss hurts so bad, you wish you could have just died yourself.

while laughing up a storm
until we were just bone
until it got so warm
that none of us could sleep

means that you try to just laugh it off, but in the end you still hurt and you can't sleep.

and all the styrofoam
began to melt away
we tried to find some worms
to aid in the decay

means that all the good things in your life seem to be slipping away. like imagine your life as a cardboard box, and youre the breakable item inside. with all the packing peanuts (or styrofoam, as this song says) gone, you break easily. and the part about the worms is like you trying to kill yourself.

but none of them were home
inside their catacomb

means that you just couldnt bring yourself to doing in

a million ancient bees
began to sting our knees
while we wereon our knees
praying that disease
would leVel the ones we love
and never come again

means thAt in the end, all you can do is just pray that the same thing that happened to the first loved one doesn't happen to anyone else you love. and that you pray so long, your knees eventually begin to hurt but you keep on praying anyway.

thats what it means to me, at least.
