| Snow Patrol – Batten Down The Hatch Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| To me, this is about looking for love - going out, trying to get attention from someone and finding the right person who is ready to accept you purely for who you are. | |

"Swim in the ocean That be my dish I drive around all day And kill processed fish" I think this reference is to to taxi driver seeing them as being the same as all the others - he just drives around all day bad mouthing all the "processed" artists that use the same formula to become successful (thinking X-Factor or Pop Stars here). |

| Stereophonics – Local Boy In The Photograph Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This song always puts a lump in my throat if I try to sing along to it - particularly when it gets to the bit about the friends. While I didn't have a friend killed on a railway line, I did have one killed in a motorbike crash when he was 17 or 18. He was a bright lad but wasn't "geeky" with it - he would have gone far in life and possibly been a heartbreaker... but we'll never know - at least he will never age like the rest of us. | |

| Yeah, I have to agree with butterflykiss84 about this being about dirty thoughts - it's a very clever analogy and has a very catching "chugging" beat to boot. Love it! | |

I can really relate to this now - I really like this guy in a way that I just can't get enough of his attention - but I don't really know him and he doesn't make it easy. I've probably scared him off if I'm honest, but I hope. Anyway, we've both had some problems these last few weeks but I've been so worried about his without even knowing exactly what it was he was worried about. "I need to taste the warming glow, of your medicating hands I know I'm ready for your love, I just don't understand it" Just like the person who perspective this is written from, I needed the comfort, love and support of him being there to help me though my problems. I don't understand him, or what it is about him that makes me love him, but I feel I need him - and a hug and the chance to cry on his shoulder is what most appeals right now. "So now I'm telling you the reason I'm all messed up Just have to look me in the eyes and I fall apart Please let me hold you 'til I know we are both through this I couldn't lead another day without you here in my arms" Not knowing what the exact problem was driving me crazy, and I was at the point where I forgot to care about my own problems because I was worrying about his. I wanted to be there for him, and for him to be there for me but when you are 200 or so miles away it isn't easy. I would get frustrated by the lack of communication, yet when I did get the next message - for a while - all that frustration is forgotten while I "fall apart" after getting the attention that I craved. "You look so fragile, I could break, But I try to hold myself together for the both of us, but in truth I'm just as scared I just wanna watch you sleep, as you lie here beside me So close your eyes, I'll guard the door" I just want to look after him, or at least to know that he is happy whatever he chooses to do in his life (even if that means I just stay a friend). It really hurts me to think he won't open up to me when all I want to do is to help him... but there isn't much I can do to help unless I know how he feels. But I try to hold myself together and put my own feelings aside - trying to convince myself that I will be happy when I can help make him happy... Truth is, I really do want him to be happy - but I'm scared that he will choose not to be with me... I just want to watch him sleep again and to take care of him. Time will tell... |

Perhaps I'm missing something, but my first impressions on hearing this were not about the obvious (ie a newborn baby). I think this is about a new relationship (or dare I say it a one night stand). That first line "I'm good for inspiration aren't I?" - reminds me of love (or even lust) at first sight... you know when you just can't get enough of someone and you have all sorts of ideas rushing around in your head. So I have to agree with Michael_mp3, this song just oozes sex... it is about the fantasies and high expectations of sharing a special moment with someone new. I'm not sure how the line "running both legs tied together arms in the air" can relate to the baby idea... but if your tied up to the bed your mind can be running as it were. Another thing that makes me think its more about a relationship is the chorus "Can I have a picture of you tonight, keep it with me always in my mind" - it's like they know it's a one off and they want to treasure the moment - if it was a baby, then there wouldn't be as much need to take a photo unless of course the baby is dying (which would be sad). So to me, this song is about a relationship being 15 minutes old... not a baby. |
