| Polar Bear Club – I'll Never Leave New York Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Favorite off the album. Second is "Bottled Wind," followed by "Kneel on Nails." Definitely a love song. Jimmy said in an interview that it is. But I know there's more to it than just that, and PBC is kind of known for wanting their fans to interpret things their own way. So, here's my interpretation: I feel like it's about two people who aren't that well off, but make things work despite. A love song about people who live off hourly wages; they have their ups and downs, their huge fights and almost break-ups, but they've made it work for a while and you know they'll end up together in the end. He wants to move away, leave New York behind him, but it's her paradise. That's the fight even: he wants to leave for something he feels is better, but she wants to stay. They remember the good times, and he would stay for her–she's more important than his dreams, because she's the most important part of them, the scenery doesn't matter. So he'll stay for her, and he'll never leave if she's what that means. I'm making it more of a story than it is, but I feel like the song's capturing the abstract of all that. The song has a feeling (besides the mention of winter and cold) of a New York Winter. I don't know how to explain it; you just need feel it. This song sends me back to it. I also feel a sort of New York pride; I have it myself: I feel it shows here. I can relate to this song a bit, but the roles are kind of reversed in my case. Regardless, this song is amazing and I can't stop listening to it. |

I'm going to be "that guy" and argue some lyrics here: "Drove up to Beacon Hill For the first time tonight It's us against the world With Neil Young and Catholic guilt So we're both a little gone And the scenery's getting easy The view goes on and on To sad bastard songs" sounds more like: "Drove up to Beacon Hill For the first time tonight It's us against the world We feel young and can't be killed So we're both a little gone And the scenery's getting easy They say the view goes on and on To sad bastard songs" |

| Bayside – No One Understands Lyrics | 15 years ago |

The song is amazing. The lyrics are amazing. I guess what it's trying to say is that, growing up or in life, it always feels like you're alone. People always want someone to give them a miracle cure to get past things; they feel as though the world is closing in on them. In the chorus, he's saying that, yeah, he's been there. He's "played the fool too many times," he's been this way a lot in the past, he's still trying to make up for the time he's lost dwelling on things that don't really matter, and although it seems like the end of the world, tomorrow always comes and none of it mattered. In the verse about "high hopes of silver and gold" he's saying that he always wished he's be taken away, like a poor person wishing for wealth, from his problems, that things would change and he'd be rid of all of it, but that doesn't happen--you just realize it's not worth the trouble you put into it. Finally, in the verse about being "in a field of land mines and cruise ships hell, oh, but i don't think about that" he's really saying, "yeah, i'm still in a bad place right now, but i ignore it, and it helps." Also, the next lines show that people think he's found a secret of life, and count on him for advice, but although he seems better off, he's just as bad off as they are. It's a great song. Essentially, it's saying "Yeah, life sucks. It always will, so get used to it, ignore it, and try to make the best of it." A truly important lesson. And the title/lines "No One Understands" seems more like he's taunting the people who think they're unique or the only people suffering. He's going for irony. I love it. Bayside is amazing. |

I've been listening to this song nonstop lately. It's beautiful. Having seen the interview lendmeyourbrain mentioned, I can see that it's from the girl's point of view. I'm not going to talk about the meaning. It's been said and it's accurate. But the imagery. I can't get the image of two robots on either side of a room from one another. Male and female. In love, but without batteries, only alive because of the plugs in their backs plugged into opposite corners. Projecting myself into it a little, the male one is unable to sleep, meanwhile the female has given up trying to reach him by the end of the first chorus. Eventually, the male one keeps dreaming while awake of being with her. By the final chorus, I imagine the male one checking his lack of a battery, backing up to the wall, and making a sprint for the girl, unplugging himself. Finally, having his plug torn out, his bodily functions start shutting down. His legs begin to give way halfway across the room, and he falls into her arms. The end of the chorus he's in her arms, and slowly closes his eyes, dead. Just thought it was interesting and worthy of sharing. |
