| M.I.A. – Bucky Done Gun Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
I always think of a supressive government trying to catch a revolutionary that goes by Bucky Done Gun, and I know Bucky is a British slang word for gun, but still. That's just what I imagine.

Also, being sick of women treated as objects in our society. It never changes. Women with true aspirations and views are chastised and ones who are doing what is expected of them and hold no solid opinion are praised. She can't just be a little Hollywood puppet. She's MIA, she's seen too much to be this perfect little singing star teenagers would put on their wall. And true believers of good music and changing the world shutter at the thought of anyone trying to objectify MIA, when she is REAL and not glittery plastic and smoke and mirrors like her counterparts in Hollywood. |

xxxo=combination of hit and miss and sex+hugs and kisses. A double connotation talking about how the country wants stuff like slut music and not music about things that matter like poverty and traffiking and genocide. Jus kind of how I see it. They don't want her to be deep, but she is. So she isn't going to be the shallow star that they want, who only cares about money and image, because she's this star who's unique and off-color and deeply moved and concerned with more important things than how famous will my music be and how do I make this appealing for mass teenage consumption? She's so much more than most of the musicians around her. |

| M.I.A. – Jimmy Lyrics
| 14 years ago

Okay... so obviously she wrote this song about Jimmy and the genocide tour... And the background music is a Bollywood song... But what about the rest of the story? Is he mad at her for not going? Is that why she says "I know that you hear me, start acting like you want me!"? She didn't go, and now he won't talk to her? At the very end you can hear a crying voice and she says "I hope you hear this song"... Just my theory as to the missing pieces....

| Joanna Newsom – Cosmia Lyrics

I feel like if anyone else tried to sing how she does, I'd find it insufferable, but something about her... It just works for her, and goes against any traditional views of whjat a voice should sound like to be good. I like her, but for some reason, she sounds like a kid at parts. And I don't mean teen, I mean like eight. Especially in her song Bridges and Balloons. |

Hope you all know it was a folk song BEFORE it was a rock song. The original interpretation of the folk song is usually that of a WOMAN going back to the brothel. Brothels back then often served the purpose of a gambling house, a bar, and sometimes an inn. Now my personal feeling about this song is that in this version it's a man who spent to much time at one of the houses of ill repute(bar, brothel, and gambling house in one) and screwed up his life, and instead of trying to fix his mistakes at the end, he only warns others not to make them, and goes back to scrw up his life some more(since he's stuck on gambling and other illicit activities). |

| Saving Jane – What I Didn't Say Lyrics

This basically describes every attempt I've ever made at romance, I say the wrong things, and I'm too afraid to say the right ones.
"Maybe I was never as smart as I thought
Maybe we can never be as good as we were
Maybe you just didn't need me enough
Maybe we're too clever to be falling in love like this,
Like this"
Sounds like everything that goes through my head after I screw up. |

It kinda reminds me of my relationship with my dad, who holds himself so high and mighty and blames me and is critical of everything I say and do. And I think that's kinda what the song is implying, someone who thinks they're infallible, but truthfully the reason they see so many flaws in others is because the person being so critical is the one who is flawed. |

It is about writing songs from what I see and hear. Ink, just can't get it out, pace the floor at night, promising good enough, music too loud, makes sense somehow, people watching her. Come on people. Get your minds out of the gutter, it isn't about relations. |
