Adele – Chasing Pavements Lyrics 15 years ago
To me, this song is about a crush, and wanting to take it to the next level.. but not knowing if he feels the same just yet.

I've made up my mind/No need to think it over/If I'm wrong I ain't right/No need to look no further/This ain't lust/This is love but

She knows what she wants, and she's ready to go for it, but..

If I tell the world/I'll never say enough/Because it was not said to you/And that's exactly what I need to do/If I'm in love with you

I could tell the world, but it won't matter who hears it until I say it to you. Otherwise, how will you know that I'm in love with you?

Should I give up/Or should I just keep chasing pavements/Even if it leads nowhere/Or would it be a waste/Even if I knew my place should I leave it there?

So do I stay in the background/as a friend? Or do I go for it? Follow the pavement and take a chance.. even if in the end, I don't get what I want. Is the greater risk in never trying? I know to you, my place is as your friend, but I want to take it further..

I'd build myself up/And fly around in circles/Wait then as my heart drops/And my back begins to tingle/Finally could this be it

I get so high on the possibility of us, but I come back to reality when I realize we're still just friends. But the slightest hint of you brings a tingle to my spine, and any day now, I'll help you realize we should be together

That's the meaning I belt my heart out to.. unrequited love, because I haven't had the courage to tell him how I feel.

Incubus – Paper Shoes Lyrics 16 years ago
I haven't listened to this CD in ages.. but my current relationship with my recent ex just reminded me of "Oil & Water" so bad, and now listening to 'Light Grenades' over and over, I realize almost every song describes us perfectly.. unfortunately, this song is about me:(

So, to me, it's about an extremely passionate person. "You'd fly, You'd soar" means that when things are good for this person, everything is so amazing. But when "the sound of your sorrow comes," it's just so overwhelming, like a locomotive, that it just drowns out the rest of the relationship, even the good.

But maybe he wouldn't be in this situation if he "only apoligized to make you feel better," and everything was just out in the open instead of secretly harboring these negative thoughts that slowly drive the original person crazy, bringing on the sorrow in a constant circle.. but that's personal experience again;D

But the next day, she's willing to put it all aside, she realizes maybe she was a little too dramatic or whatever, but he's just not putting up with it anymore..

Incubus – Oil and Water Lyrics 16 years ago
Nicklox25- nail + head. You have it exactly the way I imagine it.. I never thought about the parasol being an impractical facade. Nice:D

However, this part:

We've been dancing on a volcano
And we've been crying, crying, crying
Over blackened (soles)

I think it's more like, in this relationship, they asked for whatever they've been dealt. You dance on a volcano and your feet get dirty with soot- what did you think would happen? Yet the act surprised and cry that they didn't get a different outcome.

I don't know who thinks Incubus lacks originality with this album.. their lyrics continue to amaze me time and time again. If you want bad lyrics, check 3Oh!3.. yuck.
