Fleetwood Mac – Landslide Lyrics 16 years ago
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
Because I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
And I'm getting older, too

That line is about realizing that you are growing up and that things have to change.
It's bittersweet though you belong to what you were.

Kanye West – Heartless Lyrics 16 years ago
I really love this song.
This just totally describes the sentiments you have when you're over.. but everyone sort of knows it's not really over.. even if you are mortal enemies.

Bon Iver – Flume Lyrics 16 years ago
Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leary loons
Leaving rope burns --
Reddish ruse

for me, is the feeling of loneliness that can be felt when you feel like you are the only person that has a certain memory or a feeling about something painful. if people don't understand the situation you're in and it's not going well.

I am my mother's only one
It's enough

I am my mother on the wall, with us all
I move in water, shore to shore;
Nothing's more

For me, this is about family, and it's a lovely feeling.

I really don't understand what this could mean:
I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know

But I like it.

Josh Ritter – Kathleen Lyrics 16 years ago
I know this feeling too well,
"All the other girls here are stars-you are the Northern Lights.
They try to shine in through your curtains-you're too close and too bright.
They try and they try but everything that they do
Is the ghost of a trace of a pale imitation of you."

which is basically explained by :
"Every heart is a package tangled up in knots someone else tied"

"And the next time we meet-a new kind of hello,
Both our hearts have a secret only both of us know,"

Is such a special line, it's the feeling of something secret and shared between two people...
it's bonding and feels powerful

Tegan and Sara – I Bet It Stung Lyrics 16 years ago
for me,this song is about those relationships that are never quite real relationships for one reason or another..
one person or the other refuses to just give into it.
"pull on my hand and say, please let's just make it this way"

the relationship tense, and everything becomes a struggle
"I know you plan out everything that you want to say
I wish that we didn't have to go about things this way"
"don't get so uptight"

and one person isn't looking things from the other person's perspectives
"Tell me you love me like you think you want to be loved"

The National – Slow Show Lyrics 16 years ago
I think this song is about the feeling when you feel like you can't even handle your own life and you just keep messing things up, maybe by your inaction. ex. "everything i love gets lost in drawers"


I wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up

is one of my favorite lines in any song because I feel like it's just very genuine and realistic.

and when he says this:
You know I dreamed about you
for twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for
for twenty-nine years

it's heartbreakingly beautiful.
