| The Shins – Australia Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think this is about someone who refuses to let herself be happy. She's just an uptight, bitter young woman...though maybe she wasn't always that way. | |
| Ben Folds Five – Emaline Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| To me, Emaline has always seemed like a predecessor to other girls Ben Folds has written about: Kate/Cathy, Sara, etc. I think she just does things differently and requires a lot of interpretation. | |
| Ben Folds – Carrying Cathy Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I've always thought that this song is about a girl who has been so protected by her friends and family all her life that she can't bear the thought of coping on her own. She has no one to depend on but herself, and that's scary. | |
| The Olivia Tremor Control – Jumping Fences Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| To me, it's always seemed like it's about a woman trapped in a relationship with an abusive husband. She has an affair, but then he finds out.It also sounds like she has just run from decisions all her life. | |

| Ben Folds Five – Kate Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| It's always nice hearing a song that centers around someone who shares your name. Maybe that's why I love it so much! I think it's all about wanting to be just like someone who you are totally different from. Maybe this one is about the quiet geek in the corner who secretly wishes to be free-spirited and hippie-esque. | |
| Neutral Milk Hotel – Two-Headed Boy Pt. 2 Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Two headed boy, she is all you could need She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires And retire to sheets safe and clean But don't hate her when she gets up to leave This is the part that strikes me most. It's like the boy is so used to being abandoned, betrayed, having people be repulsed by him, and he's finally found someone who can see beyond that. But now she's leaving, too. |
