| Dirty Pretty Things – The North Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
does anyone have any idea what this song is about? my idea is kinda vague but it's like about someone who is drunk or on drugs (anadin) and basically a bit out of it and he has just left some kind of relationship (try to get the sparks to light seen as they've gone and the references to being helpless and crying) but he is taking it in a more or less bittersweet way saying that "the north" would be so proud of you. i have no idea what the north is though :/ |

i agree with irondal2, it's definitely about a fighter. i think of the chorus "1, 21 guns" as 1 vs. 21 guns. the 21 guns can represent the 21st century against that lone gunman, or just as him being outnumbered in his struggle. |

| Wilco – Passenger Side Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| wow i found this song less... deep. i just pictured a couple friends driving down a dark stretch of highway after a party. and while a bit drunk the person starts thinking about his life. For example "Should've been the driver, could've been the one/I should've been your lover, but I hadn't seen..." is about missing an opportunity with a significant other... you know? | |
| The Postal Service – We Will Become Silhouettes Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
i dont think this is about a breakup. i just think this is just someone living in a fallout shelter or his basement mourning a loved one who died in the nuclear attack. and as for the metaphor idea, i think the lyrics are too descriptive of a nuclear attack to be a metaphor. like the line "because the air outside will make/ our cells divide at an alarming rate"; the air outside still has radiation which will cause cancer. it's a bit too specific to be a metaphor i think. |
