| Lily Allen – Who'd of Known Lyrics

What a great song, it describes perfectly the relationship between me and my best friend, at that stage where you're both easing into the idea of a relationship
"and even now its moving forward
its just the right amount of awkward"
I think the "right amount of awkward" lyric is very clever, well done Lily Allen!

I think the buildings represent expectations. Everyone is supposed to lead a good virtuous life, be successful, go to school, have a family etc etc. The rest is self explanitory, a wife with a bit of a drinking problem, with a loyal husband. I think the "her conscience would issue yet another last warning" part is about her telling herself that she's not going to let herself do this to her husband again, but she eventually will (ANOTHER last warning), because time doesn't stop, things just dont stop. They just continue, time sifts. |

| The Hush Sound – That's Okay Lyrics

I think this song is about a foster child turning 18 and leaving the system. They have no family, eg "your childhood home is just powder white bones, and you'll never find your way back."
To me it sounds as if the foster kid has lived with a certain family for a bit, and has built a relationship with them, but is worried about how things will change once they leave, "will they love love you the same?". All the other lyrics seem to support my theory, it's all about family and nostalgia. As a foster kid myself in the situation outlined above, I've always felt I could identify with this song. |
