| Brand New – Soco Amaretto Lime Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
oh man...i cant even think about this song for too long without feeling ill from all the emotions and memories it stirs up...never mind listen to it. It is beautiful...maybe a little too beautiful for me. Reminds me of this summer, and a boy...even though i'm only 17...pretty much everything else is right on. I'm so terrified of growing old :( i dont want things to change but they're going to...drastically, and things will never be the same. Sidenote: Are you all from long island? Talk to me! I love meeting new people...i wont bite :) Plus i probably see you at shows and stuff. Spread the love! |

| Radiohead – Creep Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
i'm sorry if i'm being repetive but i didn't have time to read eveyone's posts. i'm gonna break it down...remember this is only my opinion :) "When you were here before Couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world And I wish I was special You're so fuckin' special" Have you ever seen someone who was just too good for this world? Who was so beautiful it made you want to cry? Perhaps you consider yourself outside of the social norm, and this person is as well. Only they are different in a beautiful way and are happy with themselves and you...well, aren't (i'm talking about someone in particular) that's what this makes me think of. everyone can be so bland and boring and shallow...and then i see somone who's different...and i'm so attracted to them. i tend to idolize these people, wishing i was "special" like them... "But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here." who can't relate? feeling so alienated, shitty and disassociated with life. i used to have a problem with self-injury, and this song offers a better explanation as to why than i could ever put into words. "I don't care if it hurts I want to have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice When I'm not around You're so fuckin' special I wish I was special" like i said before i struggled with cutting and an eating disorder. this is a song about hating yourself so much that you're willing to do anything to be "beautiful" (and i'm not talking physical) and pure. Life can get so out of control sometimes...you can get desperate for any sort of attention. you want people to love/want/need/admire you, you'd pay any price for it "But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here. She's running out the door, She's running out She's run run run running out..." not really sure there. perhaps he's scared off this "special" girl. i can relate there...someone you're trying to prove your worth to freaking out because you're trying a little too hard "Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You're so fuckin' special I wish I was special..." i'm guessing he wants her to be happy no matter what, because she's so special and beautiful and all. he's still envying her, and wishing he was unique and beautiful as well "But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo, What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here. I don't belong here." the ending makes me think he did himself in...he didn't belong in this and couldn't take the alienation and depression anymore and ended it. Well, thinking about this song makes my head spin, it just means so much to me. I hope my thoughts came out coherently. i know i related the meaning to my own personal experiece. but then again doesn't everyone? Radiohead is one of the greatest bands ever, if you don't really listen to them, then i suggest you do. NOW! :) |

holy maccoroni...i saw phantom planet the other day in brooklyn, and jason swartzman sang this song! So so so good. I didn't know it was a weezer song, i went crazy searching for it until a friend of mine clued me in. I also saw weezer at jones beach, ny this summer and they played this song, along with a number of others from pinkerton (the only weezer album i DON'T own, i have to get my hands on it) any misunderstandings i had were cleared up through reading your comments, thanks everyone! i definately have to see madame butterfly now ;) |

| Polaris – Hey Sandy Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
Wow, compare to the lyrics I got at some other lyrics site: Hey smiling strange, You're looking happily deranged, Can you sale the shim-ba? Or have you picked your dog out yet? Hey Sandy! Does your dog bite? Hey Sandy? Barking away, End of species is the end of the day. We was only funning. But guilty, I thought she had it coming. Did they edit it for the show? bc i think i got this on a pete and pete website. The real lyrics definately make a lot more sense. Before i thought it didn't really have a meaning, or at least a very abstract one...and i think i liked that better :( I associate my childhood with this song...I feel so misled! Ah well, i'll get over it. It's a great song, and pete and pete's a great show. I still get it on nog :) All my friends suggest i tape it and sell it on ebay. i've gone on way to long now... |

| Bright Eyes – A Perfect Sonnet Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
this is the last year of my life put into song-form. i want to bow down to conor and thank him for writing the words that i could not. to me, this song represents the switch from depression/confusion/cynicism to contentment and love. in the beginning he's on a sort of desperate search for something to awaken him...an amazing experience that will fix everything, will consume him, and then everything will make sense. He's attempting to grasp abstract ideas and break them down into a conceivable, concrete "sonnet"...to make sense out of life. He seems baffled about life and love, jaded. lost and cynical. He's searching for meaning and truth in all of this, and hates people who are content and blinded by love. Toward the end he seems to let himself go, stop looking for meaning and truth in life and just living it, appreciating it for what it is. "now i believe that lovers should be draped in flowers and layed entwined together on a bed of clover and left there to sleep left there to dream of their happiness" i like to think that at the end he comes to peace with it, stops being so concerned with the why's and meanings, and is just content with living life for what it is. i could be totally off, but this is what it represents to me. For some reason i don't see this as a love song, i see it as more symbolic, more about life in general. Regardless...conor is the man ;) |
