| The Vaccines – Wetsuit Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I had an epiphany the other day and realised (I think) that the line' does holy water make you pure?' is basically asking if we have tom get older to live. The wetsuit is a metaphor for accepting that you have to get older and grow up, and the line 'do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong' is just asking for life to throw what it can at him. Nobody wants to get older but it's something we have to do - but we can cling to youth; wear a t shirt, grow your hair out. My two cents. |

| Boy & Bear – Blood to Gold Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I see it differently - I agree with the financial problems, but not the wedding. To me it sounds as if he's got himself and a friend into a mess, through some business venture or scam, and upset a lot of people - that would be the 'them' that are so hungry, for justice or what's been taken from them. His mother advises him not to run and to be a man about it. The chorus is him being 'so cold' as he has nowhere to hide, cold with fear etc. The running for gold is him saying that he'd give away his blood to be out of the mess, as unlikely as it is that he'd do that. Second verse, he's made up his mind: he's going to run, but his friend has decided to stay and face off against whatever he's running from - 'take the roses and the loaded gun I left you.' He's almost sure his friend is not going to come out well, so the roses are like a farewell gift. Just how I see it. |

| Kasabian – Shoot the Runner Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Should be "bang away with my chain." We've established the song's about a girl trying to get away, so he's banging his chain around, the chain he uses to bind her. | |
| Myxomatosis – It Means Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think this could be about him becoming a father, as the chorus sounds vaguely like 'every dad is so different'. All a bit vague and trippy though. | |
