| Best Coast – Each and Everyday Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This album is kind of my life right now. I think this song is about how when you're in unrequited love, your feelings regularly vacillate between "I love you!" (obvious) and kind of "you suck" (as in... guess you are not capable of loving anyone, jerkface, so why do I bother?). I also totally feel the satirical "thank the stars above..." part. Yeah right. Loving someone who doesn't love you is the fuckin' pits. |

those last lines... I imagine he wrote this song to his lady as a present. She does not want jewelry or any stereotypical romantic gift, he knows she's not interested in that kind of thing, she's different. And so he expresses his love for her in a song. Because that's all she wants anyway, his love. |

I immediately thought about my mom when I heard this song. I've lived away from home before, but I recently moved overseas and I really miss her. It will be so nice when I fly home and get to hang out with her again. That's my personal take, but the lyrics can definitely apply to romantic relationships, too. Really it's just about loving someone and needing them around, and missing the comfort they give you. :] |

When I listen to this song, I imagine it's about an ended romance. I really want to make a music video for it. I think the first four lines are just about a feeling of restlessness. He needs to get out, get away from where he is, to someplace like on a postcard. Somewhere beautiful, and far away. And if he's going to go ahead and wish for stuff, he might as well wish that he's there in that beautiful place in the past, when he still is loved by his lady. And perhaps his restlessness is inspired by the lady- they were each other's first love, and while he wanted the love to also be their last, she wants to experience new things. How many more hearts will she break? She is directionless, but wants to wander without him. He is worried she will forget about him. I especially love this part: "No one has to hear, the sound of people laughing at their fears, and the ocean and sun are always there, to make you happy if you're feeling scared of the darkness." I think this is addressing the annoying platitudes that people offer when someone is heartbroken. I know I am terrified of being alone for the rest of my life. I am terrified that I will never be loved again. so to me, when people say shit like "there are other fish in the sea" it's as though... heartbreak is being taken lightly. I'd want to go to my postcard getaway and away from the fake people and with beautiful distractions. Getting lost in the awe of nature would definitely take my mind off of my lost love, even if only for a short time. "If I ever saw a ghost it'd change the way I think. I wouldn't gasp for air if ever I did sink. I wouldn't struggle, I'd just let it all out fast, and then start living in the past. " This part is also beautiful. He doesn't necessarily believe there is an afterlife, or at least he admits not knowing one way or the other. So if he were drowning now, he'd gasp and struggle, because the afterlife is unknown and scary. But if he knew he would become a ghost... death seems more appealing. He wouldn't have to feel any more, he could just be a memory, he could just live in his memories. He doesn't really want to be dead and gone, he just feels like his heartbreak is unbearable. The last part... I don't have as clear a picture of. It sounds almost political, but that doesn't fit into the neat little context I've created in my mind, sooo fuck that. I take it as him watching his ladylove goes through a series of bad relationships. He realizes that she will never be in love with him again. Which sucks, because their relationship was secure and innocent and pure-- because it was their first love, and that's really the only time people give themselves so fully. Walls go up after a heart is broken once. But when it comes down to it, even though he doesn't get the ending he wanted, it's okay. Love always remains-- in memories, in the way the relationship changed and shaped you, in the way that warmth and love positively effects everyone who is exposed to it. So basically, hearts get broken but they will mend eventually. At least partially. But what's important is knwoing that loving someone is never a waste of time. This song inspires me to take chances, and to knock my walls down and be more willing to let people in. In short, MGMT rock and I love this song and to me it is a very sweet love story. |

05 min ago I love this song, even though I'm somewhat of an indie kid and should be ashamed. But hey, I like what I like. Oh and I love to work out to this song too, haha. But anyway, the person she's with at the club definitely isn't her fiancee or husband-- sounds to me like she and her boyfriend recently ended things, so she went out to the club to get her mind off of it and move on. Some hottie went over to her, they're dancing and having a good time when her ex walks in and sees her and is like wtf ho, and she's all... shut your facehole, I wanted true love and you were hatin' so don't act mad cause if you liked me that much you woulda, you know, put a ring on it. |

"shoot me down" instead of "chute down" and "I've had my eye on you" instead of "I put my eye on you" but otherwise: yes. If only people would make things so simple. |

"The motion of her tiny hands And the quiver of her bones below Are the signs of a girl alone" I imagine that is a reference to masturbation. |

I think "it" is love that has faded. His old or current lover still feels strongly for him, but he has inexplicably lost the passion he once felt for her. He still cares about her, he wants to be there for her and I think that wishes he could love her romantically again. He doesn't know how to make his heart feel what his mind wants it to feel, and so he will just stop worrying about it and hope that things will work out in the end. |
