| Brand New – Jesus Christ Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I like to think this song isn't necessarily about religion. i realise it's called jesus christ and it might just be about christianity to a lot of people and that's fine... jesse himself says he is not religious and i don't think that's all there is to this song although of course questioning religion i suppose is a part of it. i think its more he's just talking about it because it's something inbedded in our culture and he's making an analogy with other things in life. i think this song is about lonliness. i think this song is at points also about a girl and he's scared to let her in because he always pushes people away. i dunno, maybe it doesn't make total sense but that's what i like to think. :) i hope someone somewhere agrees! |

| Laura Marling – Darkness Descends Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I'm not sure why, but this song was always one of the first that really stood out for me on this album. I think it is true that part of the beauty of Laura Marling's songs is that you can interpret them in your own way. What I love about this song is that the tune is actually quite uplifting, but the lyrics aren't. The contrast is pretty cool. I think this song illustrates a sinking into depression (and it just so happens that at this time it is the summer, the opposite of seasonal affective disorder whereby you get depressed in winter). I think when you're depressed in the summer, the sunshine just annoys you. Darkness descending I don't think is literal, just a metaphor for depression/madness. I also feel that this is about a relationship falling apart and the confusion that comes with it. What came first, the depression or the falling apart of the relationship i'm not sure. I think that when she talks about being cold and 5 years old, that is to emphasise how vulnerable she feels. I also that her lover may be far away from her at the moment and may not understand what she is going through. I think the last 2 lines are trying to lift the mood up by kind of just saying, there's no point dwelling on things that may seem big at the time, but in the long term they're not so just get on with your life. |

| Laura Marling – Ghosts Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think it's about a guy who falls in love really easily and is a real romantic and he has been hurt by ghosts (plural) not just a ghost, which i think is the whole point why she then says.. it's not like i believe in everlasting love. i think she is saying.. don't cry to me about your past lovers and beg me not to do the same because it's not like their relationship is going to last forever.. but at the same time she feels for him |
