Regina Spektor – Daniel Cowman Lyrics 11 years ago
I think that Daniel Cowman and Heroin boy are different. I think that Daniel Cowman was the one who said "no, you're gonna drown" and then he did drown, but he left him alone because he was all "I want to take a fuckin bath." Then Daniel Cowman was wrongly charged for murder because this guy died in his presence, and then ya IDK

Lorde – Tennis Court Lyrics 12 years ago
I think this song is basically criticizing modern individuals in their inability to live the truth (especially regarding emotions).
Boring how people talk-- chit chat has no meaning
class clown vs. crying beauty queen-- humor a way of denying emotions
smiling out of fear-- putting on a false expression
you could watch from the window-- detachment

you are and i am stronger than the demons of insecurity, fear, doubt, anger, frustration, jealousy. and if you emphasize the demons of optimism, strength, confidence, and love you will not be let down.

Regina Spektor – Man of a Thousand Faces Lyrics 15 years ago
might remind you of lennon because of the song "Fool on the Hill" by the beatles. there's a line that says "a man of a thousand voices." Its a McCartney song, so kind of stretch but who knows.
Oh, and I bet that song has something to do with this song, because Regina does like to input little allusions into her songs so they have deeper meaning... I just can't connect it lol

This song is about someone who is in love with an egomaniac and finally realizes that egomaniac won't ever want anyone other than themselves.

Regina Spektor – Lulliby Lyrics 16 years ago
I always thought the lyric was, "which do you do more often, smile or nod?"

anyways i think the song is just using the setting as a metaphor for her feeling
"looking through a window, at another window" represents the urban setting of apartments, but also represents how she feels detached.

"i see toenails changing color, like the leaves of fall" shows how in the city there aren't leaves so toenails must show it, but also it shows time passing and her still dwelling on the break-up.

the line (to my interpretation) "which do you do more often, smile or nod?" shows how she thinks about this man in just curiosity because she misses him so much. The smile or nod shows when he is walking and acknowledges a person, what he does.

All around a great song, no matter what its meaning. It sounds beautiful and the lyrics being so cryptic creates such interest!

Regina Spektor – Prisoners Lyrics 16 years ago
i think the "someday i will remember" refers to repressed memories
obviously the narrator had some bad experience in their childhood causing them to reject the ways of HCA, or atleast that's how most psychologists would view it

Regina Spektor – Us Lyrics 16 years ago
not that i disagree she was looking through the gospel
your evidence is highly unintelligent

samson was in the old testament, or torah

mark is in the new testament, which jewish people do not normally read

but regina finds inspiration from many things and is not ignorant, aka it was likely she read the christian bible

Damien Rice – Elephant Lyrics 16 years ago
okay so i read the first several comments and i dont feel like reading more but the "painting elephants" thing is calling her a tease
because if you think a general shape of an elephants face looks like a penis (two ears=balls and trunk=shaft)

and the main jist of this song is talking about being "just friends"
aka where the guy is totally falling for a girl and the girl just finds him as a friend
this is shown through lines like:
"i take it i'm your crutch
the pillow in your pillowcase
is easier to touch"

where she just uses him as a shoulder "best guy friend"
this pillow is her emotions, and her pillowcase is her body
he wants all of her, to be her boyfriend
but she only gives him the emotions she would give to a friend
