| Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton – The Lottery Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Maybe it is the bisexual feminist in it---but what I felt this song was about was how sex is seen as this prize, this "lottery" to be won and women to be like objects, also in many ways have to be won. Where a women is a prize, that when won becomes only a servant to her master to "give and to please." I believe the part about "sexual suicide" is talking about how second-wave feminism deals with the ideals of women reaching orgasms, women being involved in sex, rather than just being a support. I see the whole thing as Emily saying, "women, feel empowered"---but at the same time realizing that no matter what women are confined in these ideals of beauty set by men--that we can't escape..."Like girls in stilettos." bleak, raw, dark. Nostalgic or not....that is what I got out of it. Love this song |

| Blonde Redhead – Equus Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
There is a lot of "horse" symbolism in Blonde Redhead's lyrics. Horses are mentioned in "the dress" as well. |

| David Bowie – The Bewlay Brothers Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I completely agree, It is such a shame that only so many people have commented on such a brilliantly written song. The imagery evoked by this song are so real---I love "Now my brother lays upon the rocks He could be dead, he could be not He could be you" Plus, Bowie has the most smooth and naturally beautiful voice. |

| Ra Ra Riot – Ghost Under Rocks Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song always reminds me of Napoleon Bonaparte for some reason. Perhaps just going along with that rise and fall of dreaming, achieving it and falling back down. |

| Jeff Buckley – All Flowers In Time Bend Towards The Sun Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Jeff Buckley was an angel---whom heaven missed so much he was taken away so early from the world. His voice is absolutely ethereal. It can't be real, because it is so real. |

| Coldplay – Poppyfields Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"Don't you wish your life could be as simple As fish swimming around in a barrel Where you've got the gun?" One of the many amazing lyrics from Chris Martin. I also have to add I saw Coldplay live on Saturday and truly it was one of the best concerts I have ever been to in my life. Chris has an amazing voice and is such a brilliant and charismatic frontman. Best night of my life. |
