Howard Jones – No One Is To Blame Lyrics 16 years ago
This song is about PURE CRAVING. Its about two people who want each other, but they cannot be. You cant help who you fall for, so "no one is to blame".

I do believe it is about infidelity that has NOT taken place, but is being debated, considering the lines:
"Some break the rules
And live to count the cost
The insecurity is the thing that won't get lost"

The "breaking the rules" is the affair. "Living to count the cost" is the survival of the marriage/relationship that existed before the infidelity. The "insecurity that wont get lost" is the mistrust that remains after you have forgiven someone for cheating on you.

Howie Day – Collide Lyrics 16 years ago
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you

(Dawn is breaking signifies a revelation. Shes barely walking means shes realizing her feelings for author, thats the revelation. But he's already in love, tangled up in her.)

I'm open, your closed
Where I'll follow you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

(They are different but he loves her. He's afraid of losing her affections because of this.)

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find you and I collide

(Weird things happen, just like how different they are, but are somehow meant to be.)

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind

(Once again, illustrating differences. He's scared about this romance, possibly because they are different, or maybe just because love can be terrifying.)

Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind

(He's a little misplaced because of his conflicting feelings of love, fear, and doubt. But this is not going to stop him, and he doesn't want her to give up either.)

MGMT – Kids Lyrics 16 years ago
This song is about what we are doing to our Mother Earth. We are the "kids".

You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward it
Making momma so proud
But your voice was too loud

(Voice is too loud? Its about taking over, overkill, consuming. Our voice is our impact on the Earth; a little is to be expected but we are abusing it. What we are crawling toward is the plant in the next line or other gifts the Earth gives us that we are curious about as children.)

We like to watch you laughing
Picking insects off of plants
No time to think of consequences

(The laughing shows how unknowing we are. Even the smallest creatures like insects have a huge impact on our ecosystem. We don't realize what we are doing with even the most simple and seemingly innocent actions.)


Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted

(Dont live in excess, take only what you need from the Earth. Trees haunted means the trees just want to be left alone.)

The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers

(Nice contrast here. Global warming is warming the oceans... its scary, sends shivers down your spine.)

A baby is born
Crying out for attention
The memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror

(We begin another generation and forget the lessons we've learned)

Decision to decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

(This is about how politicians can be bought by large corporations who want pollution standards lowered. It may not seem like a big deal, but the end result is devastating to the Earth).
