| Bon Iver – Holocene Lyrics | 13 years ago |

It's very hard to hear the lyrics, and even reading them now it's tough to understand. At least part of the song seems to reference an auto accident. The head strikes the street, the car veering off the highway aisle, realizing you are not magnificent. Not immortal. And drifting above entangled spines, seeing for miles, miles, miles was how I imagined the moment of death as the soul drifts away from the body. |

| It's very hard to hear the lyrics, and even reading them now, my impression still stands. It did seem to be about a car accident. And seeing for miles, miles, miles was how I imagined the moment of death as the soul drifts away from the body. | |

| The line "little girl you already said" should be "little girl, you were reticent" | |
| Green Day – 21 Guns Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The harmonized melody to the song "Holiday" plays very slowly at the beginning and the bridge. Of course, many of Green Day's songs are anti-war anthems, but this is a direct followup to Holiday. | |

| This song is also about the superior drinkability of new Bud Light Lime, along with images of surf and beach that the beer evokes. | |

| To be fair, the lyrics written by the author above sound more correct than the "official" lyrics, but just thought I'd post them as "corrections" because they serve to provide some insight. | |

This is a commentary on the public's mindless obedience of the omnipresent media. Television takes away our ability to think for ourselves and replaces it with turmoil and fear. Without television, we gain freedom: "wiped out / no concentration / they got us basking in a storm / I watch as it loses form." In a subversive fantasy, this song imagines the downfall of that media. The chaos that ensues is unpleasant. The media is not so easily taken down, but this grassroots insurgency will not be deterred. The singer is insignificant in their eyes ("I doubt they even see me") but her ideals are to be reckoned with ("I'm... the one you can't account for / I keep just one step ahead / There's no place to run.") Meanwhile, she urges the listener to think critically for him/herself, to step away from the fear generated by the media, and to be willing to step away from it. |

Here are the corrected lyrics from the Santigold MySpace page. Any other way for us to submit corrections in a way that they'll get seen? Lights Out Shoot up the station TV's dead, where's there to run? Watch everybody come undone Lights Out Won't make it easy, wont make it fun Wont let them see now, how they have won Still I'll go another round Chorus: Darlin' Don't got to worry you're locked in tight Darlin' Now don't you worry turn out the lights (must be worth it 'cause the more I try the more it gets uneven, I can shake it I keep thinking but it's with me for a reason) Wiped Out No concentration They got us basking in a storm I watch it as it loses form I doubt They even see me Guess what I want A casualty but I am up front And I know what it's about Chorus I'm still here shaking my head The one you can't account for I keep just one step ahead There's no place to run Chorus |
