Julia Nunes – A Welcome Vacation Lyrics 14 years ago
I've pasted the lyrics as she has them on her video, and in parentheses I've put my interpretation of them. I never really realized what this song was about until my cat got really sick and was dying, then every word made perfect sense, so here's what it means to me.

It's close to home by blood or block
(It could be your family or neighbor)

i hate the bed, and i hate the dock
(They could have died in a hospital bed, or drown)

this loss of life is killing me
effecting unexpectedly
but what's one more yeah let me go
let me suffer nice and slow
the pack is watching patiently
stand in line to wait and see
(Maybe you're thinking about how your friends have died, and you don't know who will be next, it could even be you.)

but that's the problem seeing it coming does nothing till it comes
we're deaf until the heavens are beating the drums
(Even though we know everyone dies, we don't know how horrible it will feel to lose a loved one until they're actually gone.)

but it's too late, and i don't know when it turned into fate
unavoidable so i better get prepared
it's too late, but i'll take ignorance over being so scared
(I think of this line as sung by someone with a friend dying of terminal cancer. It's too late to save them and you'd better prepare for them to go, but It's a horrible feeling. You would rather be ignorant of the fact that they are dying soon than have to be so scared about it all the time.)

i'm not coming out of this box till everyones forgotten me this aught to be a welcome vacation
i'm not coming out of this box till everyone's forgotten me my thoughts will be secluded elation
(When everyone around you is dying, you just want to crawl in a box and forget about everything around you.)

i'm starting to loose track of who's alive and who has passed on and on and on and who is here and who is gone

that's the problem seeing it coming does nothing till it comes
we're deaf until the heavens are beating the drums

but it's too late

Five Iron Frenzy – Car Lyrics 15 years ago
I had no idea what this song was about, but the lyrics "We are blessed, we endure," drove me here to find out. I've been listening to this song for years and now I can never listen to it the same again. So beautiful but so sad.

The Dresden Dolls – Coin-Operated Boy Lyrics 16 years ago
If you watch the video it is extremely obvious that she isn't just talking about a vibrator. She wants a boy like she describes, "love without complications." The problem is, a boy like this is just fake, and even though she doesn't want to deal with the problems, she wants a real man with real emotions.
