David Bowie – Queen Bitch Lyrics 16 years ago
I think this song is about me.

I'm considering not talking to a certain guy anymore because he wore a Queen t-shirt (so very uncool after a certain age). I also think I'm leading him on. I really am Queen Bitch.

Built to Spill – Distopian Dream Girl Lyrics 16 years ago
At first I took the phrase "Distopian Dream Girl" to mean the dream girl of a dystopia, the anti-dream girl. Let's say the singer's daydreams are analogous to people's dreams of a perfect society. She's twisted his daydreams to their antithesis the way dystopias imagine an eroded future society. "Just the thought of it's enough/To penetrate my comfort zone," he sings. Maybe they're not happy but they're die-for-each-other in love. He likes the pain she causes him because it's real and it pulls him out of his solipsism.

A more romantic interpretation: envision a society that's gone to shit, and she's the only deliverance from the suffering and pain that characterizes everyone's daily lives. She's Julia in 1984.

Or something.
