Listen to this and then Blue October's "Hate me". The message is exactly the same! This song is brilliant! |

| Blue October – Hate Me Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| The first night I went on a date with my boyfriend he played this song and said: this song describes my life perfectly. I did not belive him and thought: he has been through a lot. He will learn to love again if he realise what i can offer him. Not all relationships are bad. Well... it's been 4 months and lots of tears later and as i listen to this today i know he was right. I am looking for any reason to hate him because he hurt me so much... | |
| Peter Cincotti – Goobye Philadelphia Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is about realizing that your life has become too small and that the opportunities of the changing world are out there for you. If you do not take the chances given to you, you might end up living a comfortable, but meaningless life. It is about choosing the safe and familiar option or choosing to really live! The first verse very clearly describes that freedom and excitement is important to the singer. Philadelphia symbolizes everything familiar – his hometown, current relationship, current job. Even though his history in Philadelphia is close to his heart he yearns for freedom and the opportunity to grow. In the second verse the good memories are recalled “when the world was young and warm”, but the feeling soon passes when he thinks about the winter wind in Philadelphia that will blow year in and year out and reduce his existence to “nothing”. He knows that his searching heart will die if he decided to stay in Philadelphia (the familiar). The chorus signifies the person / circumstances he has to leave behind in order to live his life to the fullest in a new environment / town / relationship. He loves her dearly and doesn’t want to hurt her (“rock your tears away”), but the decision has already been made. He knows that it is not going to be easy to go away, but he knows that it is for the best. |

| Damien Rice – Accidental Babies Lyrics | 17 years ago |

This song is a very important piece in the whole puzzle of all Damien's work. There are inter-textual references with 9 Crimes, Sleep don't weep, Lonelily and Volcano. The song describes the passion and tenderness in these two people's relationship (whether a previous relationship or an affair). I think this is about lost love, stolen moments and meeting the right person at the wrong time. To me the melody and the last verse suggest that these two will never be together. Even though the guy does everything right and makes her feel alive, she is not going to "leave him for me". If she wanted to, she would already have done it. Depressingly beautiful! |
