Jump, Little Children – Close Your Eyes Lyrics 17 years ago
if taken in a literal sense, this song could be interpreted as the writer speaking to a child , with "bad dreams" and the "creeps"
i agree whoever he is speaking to he is certainly trying to comfort them

Iron & Wine – The Trapeze Swinger Lyrics 17 years ago
i've listened to this song so many times trying to get the ultimate meaning of it. to me, it's a bittersweet farewell to a relationship that is precious to the writer, but has ended nonetheless. there are subtle references to the times they had- from meeting and starting their romance to getting drunk on halloween ("by midnight we'd forgotten one another and when the morning came i was ashamed") and even to their sexual life ("my hand between your knees"), and all the while the writer is saying remember me, remember all of these good times they did share despite the bad things he refers to

i cant tell if she died or not, but it definitely seems like it

this is a beautiful and philosophical song and it is one of my favorites

Rufus Wainwright – It's Only a Paper Moon Lyrics 17 years ago
this is in a play, actually, it's the song from a streetcar named desire. it's very symbolic but not a rufus wainwright original, not that it's not very good by him
