| Semisonic – Closing Time Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I'm in the mind that this is about childbirth. "Closing time - open all the doors and let you out into the world Closing time - turn the lights on over every boy and every girl." The actual birth, the kid is brought into the world and the light "Closing time - one last call for alcohol, so finish your whiskey or beer. Closing time - you don't have to go home but you can't stay here." Alcohol metaphor; basically "it's time for you to leave." "You can't stay here" because you can't stay in the womb. I know who I want to take me home. I know who I want to take me home. I know who I want to take me home. Take me home... "Closing time - time for you to go back to the places you will be from." You are born into the place where you'll later say you're from. "Closing time - this room won't be open 'til your brothers or you sisters come." The next people in the womb will be future siblings. "So gather up your jackets, and move it to the exits - I hope you have found a friend. Closing time - every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." Time to be born; the pregnancy is over but there's a baby to take care of now. |

| Barenaked Ladies – Enid Lyrics | 16 years ago |

This really hits home with me- not because of childhood ex, but because of my once best friend. It was a very toxic relationship. We used to be really close, but for a lot of the relationship, we were fighting and arguing because of stupid things. We never really let each other KNOW each other because of it. Half the time, I wanted to sock her in the face for being such an ass. And when we finally did part ways (looking back, I realize what a good thing this was) it took me a year to believe it was over, and I really did kind of miss her. I mean, we did have SOME good times. But I see now they weren't worth it, considering all the horrible times we also had. I only wish we could have found a mature way to end things. |

happihippo- The translation of the prayer Agnus Dei my church uses is: Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace. |

| Obviously, it's about his girlfriend being held for ransom. He does all he can, and gets most of the ransom, but not all- but the kidnapper takes no pity. | |
