| Hozier – It Will Come Back Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This is probably my favourite song on the album. I guess the meaning is pretty clear after a few listens, but anyway I'd say it's about an unrequited love, with the lyrics being a plea to someone not to be kind or loving to him, otherwise those feelings will just grow back again. I love the way he distances himself from the affection and refers to the loving feelings as 'it'... although it's obvious she is looking at him lovingly, he writes 'don't look at it like that'. It shows that he himself doesn't want to be associated with this affection, and making it a separable object makes it seem out of his control, which to be fair, it normally is. Aside from the lyrics, I think the use of the bottleneck and its bluesy feel sounds awesome. Also the guitar solo half way through accompanied by the cellos sounds so brilliant! Hozier's a really great artist, so nice to see some really talented blues/R&B be in the mainstream at the moment. |

| Mystery Jets – Half In Love With Elizabeth Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Does anybody else think The Crucible? As in, John Proctor being torn between Abigail and Elizabeth. 'The bubble will burst' could be the witch hunt that comes from it and the fact that his fling comes all out in the open. I dunno, but it's an idea we could add to the bunch! |

| Kings of Convenience – Riot On An Empty Street Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I love this song, in fact every track on the album is a masterpiece. I think the lyrics could be either two things, a guy in a long-distance relationship that is slowly fading OR a man having an affair. Both seem to work, actually! He seems to have quite a busy life away from her, and over time he realizes he doesn't love her anymore. She sends him postcards and heart-shaped balloons to show that she still cares, but he just lets it deflate. I think in the last verse he finds he cannot say anything, either because he fears he might give away the affair, or that he doesn't care enough to have a conversation with her. But that's just my opinion... |

| Elbow – The Birds Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
So far, i've heard 5 minutes of the new Elbow album and so far, I really like it! My guess is it's about looking back on a lover who has died? The last verse ... i don't know, it kinda throws me off. |

| Eels – Susan's House Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Maybe Susan is a metaphor for something else, like Susan's house being prison, as Napple_Snapple said for the crimes he committed. And why is there laughing after he says "she's gonna make it right"? Is this because they think that he's being naive, that she will make everything better... i don't know. |
