Gold Motel – The Cruel One Lyrics 14 years ago
My favorite song from Gold Motel so far. WHY ARE THERE NO COMMENTS?!?! To me, it's saying that she loves a person but being in a relationship will only result in her pulling down the other person she loves, harming them. She calls herself the "cruel one" because apparently, she's afraid of being cruel and hurting the person she really loves.

Gold Motel – Don't Send the Searchlights Lyrics 14 years ago
Here's my interpretation of what the song means.

"Always leave before the lights go on.
Before the party ends, before we hit the dawn.
Always leave before tomorrow comes.
All the greatest loves are the unfinished ones."

-I think this paragraph explains the actions of the narrator and what she does when in social situations, especially on dates. She thinks that relationships that hang by a thread are perfect for her when in reality they are not.

"Goodnight, goodbye.
By the time you turn around, I'll be gone.
I'll be gone."

This obviously describes what she does..she's basically saying that goodbye and you'll never see me again after I leave (I'll be gone)

"You're water color, you will wash away.
The spark will only fade the longer that it stays.
I've been looking for your silver lining.
It's getting me nowhere.
It's a waste of time."

She's saying that everybody she meets or gets in a relationship is a watercolor that will rub away. People will always disappear, and despite her looking for something that ensures a lasting relationship, she doesn't find it and believes it's just a waste of time (backing up her reasons for disappearing)

"Don't send the searchlights.
You'll only waste your time,
looking for what is gone.
What's gone."

This says that the narrator is telling the other person not to send searchlights (or go look for her) because she's already gone and there's no point.

A really beautiful song. I love the hush sound and Gold Motel :) Greta is awesome on her own, as much as I miss the old days...*sigh*

Owen Pallett – E Is For Estranged Lyrics 15 years ago
I believe Owen Pallett is the music god reincarnated into a human.

Seriously, how can somebody even MAKE a song this beautiful?

There has to be some magic involved.

Owen Pallett is a wizard...

...a wizard at music.

The Pierces – To the Grave Lyrics 15 years ago
I'm a huge Pierces fan :)...

I think the meaning is pretty obvious. The thunder is basically the narrator realizing that "Death will inevitably come" and soon she will be marched on by force to her grave. She basically tries to "run away" from the fact (by trying to forget it, maybe), but after a lot of thinking, she realizes that "we are all helpless to the song" and this is her final kiss, until she realizes that it's not tragic because it happens to everybody :)

I think death is magic myself. I wonder what's on the otherside if there even IS an otherside. There needs to be more people who interpret these awesome songs!

Gold Motel – Safe In L.A. Lyrics 15 years ago
I believe that this song is about a person who meets someone while on the road or traveling, but is forced to leave them because she has to go back to California (or LA). Who knows, maybe Greta fell in love with someone while touring :)? Haha. But yes, this is what I think. And the person is just waiting for the moment when they're both reunited, most likely in LA.

I love The Hush Sound
I love Gold Motel
I love Stamps
I Love The Debate Team
I love Bob Morris
I love Greta

The Submarines – 1940 Lyrics 15 years ago
This is my favorite song from The Submarines, I'm upset to see how it has so little comments. Anyways, I've dug down this a little bit, and I have a few meanings that I can see already.

The narrator, the lead singer Blake, is singing to somebody who has awful paranoia and unnecessary fears.

1) "Something's wrong when you regret, things that haven't happened yet" can be interpreted as "There's something wrong when you are worrying about things that haven't happened yet", which means that the person is afraid of the future or what is yet to come.

2) "You couldn't sleep for the awful fright that kept you up in bed last night" can be looked at like "You couldn't sleep last night for the fear that lingers and keeps you awake." The person couldn't go to sleep since their fears are taking over them.

3) "They vanish with the sunrise spark" is "The curious that shape shift in the dark vanish when the sunrise sparks", the "curious" (the fear) that shape shift (changes and adapts to the person) will vanish when the light comes up, i.e., at sunrise.

4) FINALLY, then the chorus states that the person should "rise and shine", because "now is the time to be alive, to stay awake with me a while, and smile". Now is the time to be happy, to rise and shine, to live free and alive, to let go of all these fears and regrets that are just paranoia.

I hope I'm correct :D

The Hush Sound – That's Okay Lyrics 15 years ago
Back, if you look at my previous comment I wrote last year:

"
to me this sounds like a child who loves his family so very much, but cant handle being rejected by them and rejected by soiciety, possibly from abuse. verbal as well as pyshical. so then when he/she grows up, his family "gives him away" to be ready in society by himself, but when he's "gone" he wonders if they still love him and say his name. "

I just wanted to add that suicidal tendencies are a little prominent in the song...the person is wondering about what happens when she (in my mind, the 2nd person is a "she") dies, will people love her the same, will they talk about her more. Then she reassures herself that if they don't, it's okay.

Lady GaGa – Dance in the Dark Lyrics 15 years ago
Yes, it really is obvious that she's in an abusive relationship.

Her self-esteem has been affected so much that she "dances in the dark" literally and emotionally. She won't have sex in the light because of her low self-esteem because of what her boyfriend said, so shes a "free bitch" in the dark, like a vampire and a werewolf.

The names of other women who "danced in the dark" are also shown.

Lady GaGa – Speechless Lyrics 15 years ago
There's a lot of symbolism of abuse in a relationship, in this song. "Raised your hands up" refers to one of the partners hitting the other one, he/she's jaw is "broken" and left "speechless" because he can't believe he abused his/her partner, alternatively, it could be the one being abused who is left speechless.

Lady GaGa – Alejandro Lyrics 15 years ago
I believe that it's about all of her ex-lovers who she only loved for the money (Fernando, Roberto, now Alejandro, and the Spanish word for 'pocket' is in there). But, Alejandro already loves her. He doesn't want to let her go, even though she already said that she can't be with him anymore.
Alternatively, I think that she can't even remember who Alejandro was, with all the name changes in the song.

Lady Gaga is awesome.

The Hush Sound – The Artist Lyrics 15 years ago
her boyfriend, the artist, can't express his feelings, though he only does it through paintings. the girl wants him to actually show how he perceives things, and notices that his 'eyes are drawn from charcoal'. They're black and cold, he's afraid to do so because of the negativity around him.

Anyways, that's how I interpret it.

The Hush Sound – Break the Sky Lyrics 16 years ago
I think the whole "break me open" thing means how someones trying to get something out of her, like a secret (maybe she cheated on her boyfriend) and "wont be haunted by dreams i deffered" means how she wont be afraid of doing whatev......"breaking the sky" means how she should break up with her boyfriend, but they "kisses goodbye" each time she gets there because she cant bring herself to do it. :).

"Fear will hold you back if you believe in that" means how fear is pulling her back from breaking up with the guy, but since a side of her doesnt really want to "fear is pulling her back" since another side of her is believing that she shouldnt break up with the guy, i think.

or it could mean doing something by her own self, with independance, but being too afraid to do it :) (ie bunjee-jumping off a building?)

The Hush Sound – Molasses Lyrics 16 years ago
You are made of sugar
Milk and molasses
So little darlin' will attract all the bees
You are the gazer
You are the attraction
It takes a little vanity
To know what it means


I think that means that shes implying that someone is kinda sluttish?

You can hear me
I will try to draw you near me
But in the morning
You will wake up alone
When your body breaks
Even the hummingbirds
Will feel the earthquake
You'll sing a song
Of your heart's complaint

I think that could mean that someone was somehow seduced by the sluttish person, then "wakes up alone" because the person ditches him or her?

I dont know, but this is a great song and i luv this website!
