| Radiohead – Like Spinning Plates Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I listen to the live version so my interp is based on that :) I feel like this song touches bases with a political statement and a personal one, both intertwining in meaning. For me I think of this song when people are being naive and ignorant in a situation "Whilst you make pretty speeches" there is always the 'pseudo' hero in a situation (leaders of the world) ('supportive' friends) and there is the person who is being hurt by this facade and in contrast are deeply suffering. Re: 'spinning plates' : imaging actual spinning plates(those ones clowns or whatever use for tricks) waiting for them to break/stop is an anxiety provoking game and this lends itself to much deeper discussion into the general message of the song! |

| Radiohead – How to Disappear Completely Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
So calming and always gives me goosebumps I feel like the protagonist is disconnecting from the world, almost like an epilogue (of a story not told in the song) but letting everyone know that the 'body'/person is detached from whatever is happening. Also it could relate to Thom's depression and performances (floating down the liffey...fireworks...etc) he feels like he is dissociated from whats happening and his performances. |

| Beirut – Cherbourg Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I am writing my interp for Cherbourg (lyrics just above thanks to grinch11) Story: girl/guy with depression, Zach is in a relationship with him/her and he is reassuring them that he will help them. "And a fall from you is a long way down" - depression can be like this sometimes "And I filled our days with cards and gin You're alight again, my dear" - doing little things for her/him to make them feel better "I will lead the way, oh, lead the way" - He will show them the way out of this |

| Beirut – Guyamas Sonora Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
My favourite from Beirut! I always imagine Zach singing about failed relationship and he is still expressing his love and yearning for that connection he once had. Now the significant other is getting married "No I was not there on the church stairs The wind in my hair, a flood through my tear ..." showing he is still heartbroken about it. He wanted it to work but perhaps it wasn't reciprocated. that is the little video that goes on in my head when I listen to it anyway hehe |

| Cansei de Ser Sexy – Fuck Off Is Not The Only Thing You Have To Show Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
this is such a fab song the vibe I get from it is about a person who is quite pessimistic and angry all thetime and the song is obviously saying "fuck off isnt the only thing you have to show and say to people' |
