| Dashboard Confessional – So Long, So Long Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The double meaning in the chorus is so clever. "How the girls could turn to ghosts before your eyes And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying (keeping them) And how the grace with which she walked into your life Will stay with you in your steps, and pase with you a while So long, so long So long, so long" "So long, so long" is a statement that refers to final closure of calling it "quits" with the girl you love by say goodbye but also it refers to the heartbreak that lingers long after she leaves, staying with you so long! Like I said, pretty clever song writing!!! |

| The Killers – Neon Tiger Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is about the myth of Las Vegas. In the first verse, the song draws a portait of Las Vegas vastly being different from remote areas of the world where time had stood still. The song states that Las Vegas draws poeple in by the supposed glamour and glitz. In the chorus, a warning is issued, heeding people not to get caught up in myth of Las Vegas about getting rich. The neon tiger represents the hunger of the young peoples and their preceptions of Las Vegas. In the second verse, this becomes very clear about the myth of getting rich in Las Vegas: "Came from the woodwork with the hopes they might Redeem themselves for poor decisions to win big" The breakdown in the song breaks the 4th wall by vocalizing the oppositional veiw of the warning. The breakdown represents us falling into the Las Vegas myth. |
