| Télépopmusik – Breathe Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| most often, anxiety prevents one from breathing properly. personally, this song represents that inability to relax- however, the song expresses the cure to anxiety: breathe. just believe...another day (so hard to breathe...) but there is always another day. live strong. | |
| Phoenix – Lost and Found Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| it seems to be about a female lover refusing to let her lover break down her boundaries. she's scared, therefore making the relationship limited by her own "selfish little story" as if her lover does not have a story to tell as well. | |
| The Radio Dept. – David Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think the narrator of the song is speaking from an omniscient perspective. David is so lost inside his own head that he does not recognize how aesthetically pleasing he is to the world. The narrator seems to be in love with David, but David, being "lost inside/of his mind," does not notice him. In the last stanza, it states that David stained too many beds- this can be taken as a symbol of sex, but also as a symbol of having the people he sleeps with obsess over him. He then asks "why," and once the narrator says that he has "been doing david all [his] life, he is not stating he has been having sex with him, but instead is also questioning why David chooses to be with everyone but him. Therefore, ending the song with asking if David will look into his eyes, and stain his bed. |

| Lady GaGa – Poker Face Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
she stated in an interview that she wrote this song based on her bisexuality and so the line "she's got me like nobody" is referring to her using her 'poker face' to her man when she's testing women out on the side. http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/entertainment/Lady_GaGa_Entertains_Thousands_At_Palm_Springs_White_Party.html |

| CocoRosie – Werewolf Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I just came back from art galleries with my best friends in NYC- we've lived here all our lives and are graduating really soon... All three of us, being extremely passionate about the time left we have together (about four months), I truly think the song is about the transience in age- trying to accept the passing of time, specifically with family and how hard it is for a father (symbolic of the entire family) to let go of their 'daughter' (symbolic of the fragility in a child, both male and female). Time is so fast... Appreciate the good and the bad. | |
| The Radio Dept. – Always A Relief Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| this is definitely the 'prequel' perhaps for Pulling Our Weight. The beginning is the same and the theme of lovers is once again presented but at the same time, the theme of struggling to keep the love alive is leaden in the lyrics | |
| The Radio Dept. – Keen On Boys Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| everyone above pretty much summed it all up. it's probably one of the most amazing songs i've ever heard. it's definitely from a boys perspective and it is leaden in homosexuality. i don't think the protagonist is homosexual, but he is curious and interested in this other male. he's struggling to keep with societies diction of being 'straight' and 'masculine'. However, this kiss broke his shamefulness and he accepts his curiosity and is left wondering what he missed out on | |
| Kate Bush – Suspended in Gaffa Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
this song is evidently about her struggle to identify with God and why women are being put to blame for eating the apple from the tree of knowledge. "We're not ones for busting through walls But they've told us unless we can prove That we're doing it We can't have it all. He's gonna wangle a way to get out of it She's an excuse" This first section, or stanza, represents her wondering why women are literally being blamed for destroying that "heaven in the middle of the garden" She is trying to find her own path to God, not through Christianity or any kind of organized religion. |

| The Radio Dept. – The Worst Taste In Music Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think the speaker is in love with someone (male or female, not sure if the speaker is interested in men) and they are in a relationship and he understands why the person he's in love with is in love with the other person. The only thing that keeps him optimistic in believing he's a better person is the taste in music. | |

This is The Radio Dept.'s best song. The lyrics are mind boggling- how could someone come up with a song that is so relatable to anyone? |

| The Radio Dept. – Tell Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
A lot of The Radio Dept. songs seem to be about being in love with another man. I agree that this song is about that too. I think another way to interpret this is to see it as him being forgotten because of his friends new relationship with someone else and he feels betrayed. The person his friend is in a relationship is evidently not the most suited person for his friend so he wants her to see what he sees. "From that point of view I get the privilege to enlighten you" I think at this point he is moving on because he feels pity for his friend because the friend is missing out for being with someone who doesn't seem to care. |

| The Radio Dept. – Sleeping In Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I'm not sure if the friend committed suicide- the song reminds me a lot of The Hours by Michael Cunningham and the relationship between Richard Brown and Clarissa Vaughn. Richard is depressed and Clarissa tries to throw a party for him so he can recognize the beauty and joys of life, but Richard still seems to stay defeated by the hours and the worlds sorrows. The first stanza however does show signs of suicide because the last line says 'last of many efforts' meaning the persons final thing done in life. The second stanza shows that the speaker justifies the suicide because he says 'I know it's not my place but i don't even wonder why" proving that he accepts it and knows there is a reason behind whatever is going on. |
