| Woodkid – Wasteland Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This feels like a counterpart to Iron to me. That song is about a soldier broken and muted by the horrors of war and the deeds he's done, this feels like that same person returning home and slowly coming back into himself with help from a loved one. Excellent songs, whether they bear a relation to each other or not. | |
| Admiral Fallow – Delivered Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this is about someone, an elderly relative perhaps, on life support. It's about being sat there and seeing someone you love hooked up to IV drips and heart monitors and who knows what else and knowing that none of it is really making a difference. Whatever the meaning, it's a very beautiful song from a very talented band. |

| I wish they hadn't called it a day, but goddamn this is one hell of a eulogy for one hell of a great band. | |
| R.E.M. – Half A World Away Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| The impression I get is of someone longing for the one they love, but not in a "gone forever" kind of way. It seems more like a long distance relationship. I do read the line "my hand is tired" as masturbation, but I see it more as phone sex. The singer is lying there after the act, wishing that the one he loved was there with him, rather than half a world away as a disembodied voice on a phone. Just a thought. | |
| There Will Be Fireworks – We Were a Roman Candle Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Epic song. Not 100% sure I've got the lyrics right though. | |
| Frightened Rabbit – Last Tango in Brooklyn Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I don't like the new version (Fun Stuff) as much as the original. There are some good ideas there, but as a whole it sounds messier, not as well balanced. Plus the vocals seem to get lost in the mix at times and with lyrics as perfect as these, that annoys me. | |

This song is a beauty. I love how different the feel is compared to the acoustic version Scott did for Off the Beaten Track, much dreamier. I do have a few corrections on the lyrics though. And the nautical board-man that drove me here to face the tide I hear as; And a nod to the boredom that drove me here to face the tide And the rest of me is a burgeoned man, built to collapse into crumbs I hear as; The rest of me is a version of man, built to collapse into crumbs Small differences I know, but marked up for the sake of (potential) accuracy. |

Nice spot Loueezee :) seems the "Of Mice and Men" influence is there in the whole of the first verse (the farmer's daughter teasing all the farm boys feels to me like a reference to the way Curley's wife is in the book). |

Extrasupervery, I salute you. I only know about this utter gem because you put up the lyrics :) So, the singer was in a relationship, had an affair which caused the relationship to break and is now pining for the girl he lost. Pretty straightforward, but damn I wish I could write lyrics like that. Incredible stuff, one of the reasons I adore Frightened Rabbit <3 |

| Death Cab for Cutie – The Ice Is Getting Thinner Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Damn straight. In my opinion, the best ending to any Death Cab album. | |

Only one comment for this song? Shameful! I agree with that lyric interpretation though, sounds more like "bored hole". One of the best songs from their first album. The meaning is pretty clear for me; it's a relationship that has lasted a long time and all the love and passion has drained away, leaving both partners bored. It's just a brilliant song; the way the lyrics combine with the wistful, regretful tune...God I love Frightened Rabbit. |

| Frightened Rabbit – Head Rolls Off Lyrics | 16 years ago |

"When my blood stops, someone else's will not." That line makes me think this would be a great song for a give blood/organ donation advert. It's a real feel-good sentiment, makes me feel happier about everything :) |
