| Talking Heads – Once In A Lifetime Lyrics | 10 years ago |

This section sums up the song for me. Life as we live it based on the status symbols we value as being successful or a failure is as fruitful as trying to remove the water from the bottom of the ocean. Water dissolving...and water removing There is water at the bottom of the ocean Under the water, carry the water at the bottom of the ocean Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean |

Although I am not sure just what they mean with this portion: One of my favorites. I can't believe there was only one comment. Something about this song makes me feel so nostalgic. I like the part about September, the end of summer. I have a memory of a time where I wanted to remember a moment in every detail because it was so rare and fleeting and I knew it was-- even while I was in the moment. I knew I would miss it. Even to this day when the first signs of autumn appears somhow it triggers the memory. And my mind goes back in that time and it feels like it did back then and I remember it so fondly, then that emptiness of knowing it has past. Perhaps that is the laugh under his breath. Although I am not sure just what they mean with this portion below, any ideas? And what if there were two Side by side in orbit Around the fairest sun? That bright, tight forever drum Could not describe night swimming |

| The Airborne Toxic Event – Sometime Around Midnight Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| These lyrics are exactly the way I felt when I saw an ex one time in a club. I was over her, but I had not seen her for over a year, she was different. I was in a bar I suddenly was empty and jealous, longing for something I didn't know I even wanted. Had I not been drunk I may not have felt that way. But I did feel something, like a whirlwind. These lyrics bring it back vividly into my mind. I now feel like I am not the only one that that has happened to. In a way it is like how dare she continue to exist without me. Of course the writer could mean virtually anything. LOL! | |
| Depeche Mode – Wrong Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Sounds like it is about the sudden comprehension, that after a lifetime of experience that everything you planned, the goals you worked toward, are worthless cause you were so completely without understanding of what the right things were. For example, if you have spent a lifetime acquiring wealth to support your family and your spouse decides to dump you, all that sacrifice (overtime, stress, put off vacations, etc) was wasted. You had a plan, but the other players had a different playbook, you become a loser in life. This song is so negative; it’s got to ring true to many a depressed soul. I feel worst for having analyzed the lyrics. | |
| Depeche Mode – A Question Of Lust Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I see this way different than most. 1st stanza is about being helpless and seeking an apology. The next stanza is about a stupid mistake and an alcohol weakness. The last stanza is about goodbye and would rather be home. The chorus is about lust vs. trust and saving a relationship. So, I think the song is about someone who drinks too much, then he literally, it is a metaphor for alcoholism (the other lover is alcohol), which is why he needs to apologize. Then he has to leave because his lover has let the relationship crumble due to his lust of others or alcohol. That's my take. |
