Washed Out – New Theory Lyrics 11 years ago
Your choice was right,
No chance to leave a doubt;
I swear I'm not
the one to lead you back.
It's yours to find;
It's all you've ever done;
You're falling now,
you're falling back to Earth.

Ms. John Soda – Sometimes STop, Sometimes Go Lyrics 13 years ago
it's not about saying yes or no
it's not about stop or go
it's more about what is within
and how you get there in your mental scene..
and how you keep it as part of your truth
never to stop work trying to choose
some kinds of decisions
some kind of disguard
well i feel not conscious about others reports
and do you believe
don't you forget
how you conceived your thoughts of regret
it's not about being right or wrong
it's not about being weak or strong..

you're standing in the doorway
you look at me outside
you're thinkin you're alone tonight
to leave now or move on
you say yes
you say no
we're waitin but just can't go..

do you trust
do you deceive
a song meanings constantly
constantly part of your inner scene
how do you spell what's within
and if you do so
do you always know
that the best things sometimes stop, sometimes go
but the person there standing should ever be you
and that someone else pretending to do so
pretending to know what is right, what's wrong
how to act or when to go on
what to like or what to hate
do you know yourself
you're thinking it's sane

no proofs no signs no trust
you listen you think you leave
your foremind is your personal thief
disgusting, annoying and still going on
no changes in thoughts of or ever that's strong
to leave to guide your personal needs
the definite words ain't there to defeat
still going on acting as if you belong
to an unseen figure that tells you to go on

you're standing in the doorway
you look at me outside
you're thinkin you're alone to know
to leave now or move on
you say yes
you say no
we're waitin but just can't go..

you're watching forever
you're stand here and ever
you're falling, you long to know
your name is the senseless
completely defenseless
you're staying alone tonight

you're watching forever
you're stand here and ever
you're falling alone tonight

Bonobo – Nightlite Lyrics 14 years ago
Here's my take on the lyrics:

Weather is in style
To keep the hope
We tread these waters, make our waves,
Yes we do.

Peaceful shall proceed
In every single way,
Come, let's bring light
To the night of day.

There comes a time, and some will know,
A time when true-borns really show;
Can you depend on friends to help when you're in need?
Have they got problems of their own?

Look how, the silver seas then show,
Some things are best, oh, left alone.


The last two lines I don't think are exactly right. It's really hard to decipher it though with the accent of the singer and the ton of treble/high frequency sounds playing all at the same time haha.

ideas?

Bonobo – Days to Come Lyrics 14 years ago
I believe its

"For goodness sake
Spare your failings and take
The ability to strengthen
Our spirit can stimulate our minds
Blossoms of days to come"


As if the sentences run into each other. It makes more sense to me this way haha.

Leigh Nash – Between The Lines Lyrics 14 years ago
lyrics are incorrect... here's a revised version:




"Vacant look, behind shades
An open book, but the print fades.
You may feel you wrote me, but I'll be undercover
Until you need me, that's where I'll be

I'm talking to you, not the wailing wall
If that's what you do, this link may fall

Between the lines, can you read me?
Between the lines, that's where I'll be
Between 'hello', and 'I would give you the moon'
Between 'I love you' and, 'I, I'll see you soon'.

As long as you've been screaming, I think you'd listen
'Cos I tried getting my words, off the ground
I'm shaking my fists, trying to feel like I'm something, not just the long way around

I'm talking to you, not the wailing wall
If that's what you do, this link may fall

Between the lines, can you read me?
Between the lines, that's where I'll be
Between 'hello', and 'I would give you the moon'
Between 'I love you' and, 'I, I'll see you soon'.

I won't hide, from you, I won't cover my ears
I've gotta get a clue
One day, my eyes will reveal what I've tried to conceal...

Between the lines, can you read me?
Between the lines, that's where I'll be
Between 'hello', and 'I would give you the moon'
Between 'I love you' and, 'I, I'll see you soon'.

I'm talking to you, not the wailing wall
If that's what you do, this link may fall

Between the lines, can you read me?
Between the lines, that's where I'll be
Between the lines...
Between the lines...
Between the lines..."


hope that helps...

Iron & Wine – Fever Dream Lyrics 14 years ago
One can want something without knowing that that something is. God's love is unconditional love. Babies can want love all the time, no matter what they do. They have no concept of love other than unconditional love. This applies to babies, and animals too.

In context, he notices her emotion, her soul, speaking out in her dreams while she sleeps, in her body language. He wants her affections like babies want unconditional love, a.k.a. he wants her affections all the time. He wants to know that she will be there for him, with him, just as sure as the next day will come (with the unspoken given that tomorrow exists.)

MGMT – Time to Pretend Lyrics 15 years ago
This song means so much more when you can directly relate to it. Obviously, not with every single part, but definitely most of it.

To me it's about growing up and out of the unrealistic fantasies to "live fast and die young".

thadius0924 pretty much hits the nail on the head with his interpretation (for me).

Reverie Sound Revue – An Anniversary Away (rough mix) Lyrics 15 years ago
came back to re-edit, but keeping the original draft. most of it is the same, with minor edits here and there that just made more sense/sounded more accurate. rough mix is hard to decipher! the voices just blend in with the instruments... <3

"So we rose, too close, overexposed in light; whites of eyes, we dried, to keep safe all the keepsakes we hide.

In and out, the season, one arm, sleeps to harm the skin, we waste on laws wishes we cannot win.

So you constrose the parts that you hold in swollen palms
the charms and blood, warm or frozen bells alarm

On and on the song wells round, with pleas for keeps;
I turn to hear you sing a false reprise.

Calls, calls, echo is fall, an anniversary away,
(Calls, calls, echo is snow, an anniversary away)
And save all things, hours that we weighed.

To spark in manner of hearts, and amplify the mind
From questions left to scar the plans I do hide,
What beds men have made, in the city to be named
By no one with a face, I try to escape.

Our lost wishes know we cannot chase
One, played calm, the song strings belong,
But please, for keys,
I turn to hear you sing a false reprise.

But there is made, im sure, splints to safely show us
Of them, traveller, of the head I adore.

To say you see a mouse, and letters I must spend,
what sides can only tell, they get you through Hell

To spark in manner of hearts, and amplify the mind.
From questions left to scar, the problems I depart,
The bets men have made, in the city to be named
By no one with a face; I try to escape.

I try to escape."

Shpongle – Around the World in a Tea Daze Lyrics 15 years ago
I think this is a song praising God in a spiritual way.

"Hara Hara Mahadeva Shambho. Kashi Vishwanatha Gange" = Praise the Great god Shiva. The Gange river flows by the city of Kashi.

"Ex Maria pie jesu" = From Mary, sanctified/Holy Jesus
"Ex Maria virgine qui tolis " = From the Virgin Mary, who bore/sustained/endured
"pie domine domine" = holy Lord, Lord
"pie" = pious/holy/sanctified

Reverie Sound Revue – In The New Lyrics 15 years ago
And you, colored you,
in your blue... electric blue...
give me a cue to move myself to...
a clearer view, in the new.

but it seems too soon that I never knew I always liked you,
when I look like you, in the new... in the new.

Stairs made for pairs and steps in flight...

I like to choose the colors to use
out and into... in the new...

it seems to soon, that i never knew I always liked you
when I look like you, in the new... in the new...

stairs made for pairs, and steps in love...

You colored for me, you colored for me
You colored for me, you colored for me...
colored for me, you colored for me.

Reverie Sound Revue – Walking Around Waiting Downtown Lyrics 15 years ago
I think it's...

Aye, you want him; something to begin.
And trick them into knowing what you think,
While walking around, waiting downtown.

I'm all missing, or just missed;
Most window-gazers never know what they... witness,
While walking around, waiting downtown.

Onlyyyy, me and I, and our fight...
To hit my style right between their eyes,
While walking around, waiting downtown.

And stopping me from selling right out,
While walking around, waiting downtown.


I'm not sure about the second verse but it seems to make more sense to me. Any ideas/suggestions?

Reverie Sound Revue – One Marathon Lyrics 15 years ago
So... I feel like this song is about someone who is waiting for the person she loves to realize that he always had her. She might be referring to how he can stay all sunshine and alright, with "the sun seems to follow through, oh, on a promise to follow you"

maybe she is saying that he is looking for her and doesn't know it, as he listens to music that makes him feel better. He wants someone who can make him feel as the music makes him feel. So she waits, and is patient, hoping that he will see her before it's too late, yet she seems to be ready to move on, with "as i dive over the finish line", aka as time moves on, as i get over you.

second verse:
she sees him asking for bliss, but not being able to say why. he calls her from places he has been, from places in his life that he is experiencing, maybe they are friends and he confides in her about his life and his heart. "and you leave me ages" may be in reference to how she feels, as he leaves her alone and away from him, oblivious to the fact that she loves him. so she sends her best wishes and feelings of happiness and comfort to him, and she waits, patiently, for him to realize her.

end of song:
she is tired of waiting for him to love her back. she is frustrated, as she says how he *must* have heard and understood that she doesn't think him missing her affections was a plan to win her heart. He didn't know at all. So it dawned on her that he won't fall in love with her, and so she is letting go, with "so i miss you, and i run through (through you), as i dive over the finish line."


this is just how I perceived the song. I can relate to this feeling almost perfectly, except for the fact that I am a guy and the person I wait for is a girl. It hurts so much to wait. It hurts so much to try and move on. I can't figure out which way I should go.

This song helps me have release from these conflicting feelings of want and resignation.

Reverie Sound Revue – One Marathon Lyrics 15 years ago
Vossler was close, I think, here's my contribution...

I see you, call this name, "Bliss";
And can't explain the whys of your wishes...
Then you call me places,
And you leave me ages;
While I send my senses,
I play by patience.


But I know you know I,
I must swear you hear me say:
"No, our misses are not a plan."
So I miss you,
And I run through,
(Through you)


...As I dive over the finish line. (x4)

The Weepies – Can't Go Back Now Lyrics 16 years ago
I agree with everyone above me, and add that it also means he will always be right behind her, and with her every step of the way.

"And yeah, yeah go where you want to go
Yeah, yeah, be what you want to be
If you ever turn around, you'll see me"

:]
