Gary Clark Jr. – When My Train Pulls In Lyrics 13 years ago
Aside from the general amazingness of the song, what I realize is that this song can be applied to just about anything that surrounds loneliness. I take this song to be about the general feeling of distrust and betrayal around people who claim to care about you and that overwhelming desire to get away from them, start over. For me, at the moment, it's a relationship. But it can also be a disillusionment of the glorified "family loyalty" or just the classic false friends. Treachery knows no bounds.

The Avett Brothers – Murder in the City Lyrics 14 years ago
Agreed. I was driving to this song one day and that line came and stuck out to me, I had to rewind it a couple times to truly let that sink it. That...that was deep and so gorgeous.

Interpol – Pace Is the Trick Lyrics 15 years ago
This song gets me so excited and I'm not sure why.

Out of all the lyrics, the chorus sticks with me like glue:

"I've seen love
And I follow the speed in the starlight
I've seen love
And I follow the speed in the star-swept night"

I know I have the rest of the lyrics to consider, but the chorus alone tells me that this is a man who knows love exists...he's seen it for himself, like a comet shooting across a starry night. He chases it and he won't stop going after it. Pace IS the trick because sometimes love is hard to catch, but he's not stopping.

Gomez – Little Pieces Lyrics 16 years ago
Well, I am just shocked no one's commented on this song!
It's one of the best ones of the album along with "Airstream Driver"

This might sound dense but I think this about a man in a relationship ruled by bickering and fighting and in the song he's just finally freeing himself her and it all, bit by bit?

Or it could mean there's a part of himself that he keeps from her about she does her best to figure what it is though she'll never find out.

Idk. But I LOVE this song.

The Devlins – World Outside Lyrics 16 years ago
That sounds good but I think there's something else.
The rhythm of the song is so sultry and dark that I can't help but think he's not just telling her he'll be there for her. I think he's also saying he'll fulfill her every inner desires and fantasies. I think he's also telling her what she does to him in sacred love. I sense a lot of passion in this song.

Van Morrison – I'll Be Your Lover, Too Lyrics 16 years ago
I came across this on itunes, I was looking the name of Van Morrison that just kept slipping my mind and in the midst of my search I was randomly previewing songs and came across.
Wow.
Just wow. I already loved Van Morrison for Tupelo Honey, the love he expresses brings tears in my eyes but this song, right here, just proved o me that he is the only artist I know that expresses love so beautifully and simply.
It ignites your hope in true love again

Guillemots – Sao Paulo Lyrics 17 years ago
Ok, I'm taking a big shot at the dark so don't jump on me if I'm wrong.

The Narrator is telling someone a story about a sad memory.

Sit down my love of all good spaces
and breathe my love let's all be spent
i'm going to tell you both a story
about some memories that i dreamt


He starts to tell the story about how he's lost the person he loved most, he doesn't quite tell the listener how he's lost her but he expresses how devastating it was and still is to him.

see i've lost love in many places
not least the streets of sao paolo
and friends especially, i didn't make them
a ten floor window to her home
sometimes i could cry for miles
sometimes i could cry for miles
sometimes i could cry for miles
but i don't


I'm assuming this is the woman he loved, and he tells the listener how she is being burned in front of a large crowd in the streets of Sao Paolo, and he has no choice but to watch.

so hush the shadows in the oak tree
be still you curl upon the moor
my heart has fallen upon the wayside
i cannot claim her anymore
so don your duffel coats quite slowly
and this sad jury has ajurned
while on the streets of old sao paolo
i watch my baby being burned

sometimes i could cry for miles
sometimes i could cry for miles
sometimes i could cry for miles
but i don't

Still he expresses tragic this loss is to him. He wants to cry and leave the town but he just can't. He could go on with his life if he wanted to but he doesn't want too.

sometimes i could cry nine times
drop my bags and run for miles
and sometimes i could live my life
but i wont, but i won't

I'm not quite sure what being thrown across water means but I believe it's his way of saying this painful memory is like going through constant pain that bounces over in his mind every second of the day like a stone bounces off the layer of water when you throw it. I think for him, the stone keeps going for eternity instead of just stopping and sinking into the water.

have you ever been thrown across the water
have you ever been thrown across the water
have you ever been thrown across the water
till there's no skin left on your bones

thrown across water
thrown across water
thrown across water
like a stone

And here, apparantly he blames himself and wishes trade this pain of losing the one he loves for any amount of physical pain. he's really gotten into telling the story.

get me a doctor
get me a doctor
who will get rid of my bones

get me a lover
get me a lover
who will leave my head alone

get me a soldier
get me a soldier
who will fight me in this war

get me an exit
i need an exit
i need a window or door

thrown across water
thrown across water
thrown across water
like a stone

get me a lawyer
get me a lawyer
who will sue the world for me

get me a person
get me a person
get me a person
who isn't me

cuz i'm getting tired
i'm getting tired
of my stupid little face

cuz i don't belong here
i don't belong here
don't belong in this horse race

thrown across water
thrown across water
thrown across water
like a stone

That's just what I think. This song is so sad but beautiful at the same time.
