Barenaked Ladies – Jerome Lyrics 14 years ago
A song about Jerome, Arizona, obviously (considering the references to Mingus Mountain - a mountain near the town - and to the jailhouse "falling" down a hill which happened in the town after a mine blast). Interesting, and a really obscure topic for a song. Love it!

Shearwater – God Made Me Lyrics 14 years ago
To me this song seems to be the narrator's rejection of God in the wake of some catastrophe, perhaps the "unnatural light" and bomb-like event described in "Meridian." The last line especially, "I am life breathed in the radiant lie, God made me," seems clearly to reject the "lie [that] God made" the narrator. It's an interesting song, definitely rather mournful in tone (like most of this album) and really seems to characterize a sort of wistful nostalgia and despair over the present situation of the narrator.

OneRepublic – Good Life Lyrics 14 years ago
To correct MayaMoo, I think the line is:

"We have got our stories, but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about"

Ben Folds – Kylie From Connecticut Lyrics 14 years ago
For the record, I believe the line is "she sees it again as she turns out the light".

OneRepublic – Secrets Lyrics 14 years ago
I need another story
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kind of boring
Need something that I can confess

Till all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly, I swear
Thought you saw me wink, no; I've been on the brink, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that'll light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time
Don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

My God
Amazing that we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars

And every day I see the news
All the problems, bet we could solve them
When a situation rises
Just write it into an album

Send it straight to gold
But I don't really like my flow, no

Se tell me what you want to hear
Something that'll light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time
Don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

Got no reason, got no shame
Got no family I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'ma tell you everything, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that'll light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time
Don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

Simply my interpretation of the lyrics. It's certainly NOT "sick of all the act sincere."

Jimmy Eat World – Polaris Lyrics 14 years ago
Quick corrections:

"I'm done, there's nothing left to show
I try, but I can't let go
Are you happy where you're standing still?
Do you really want the sugar pill?
I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll start
Tonight it feels so hard
As the train approaches Gare du Nord
As I'm sure your kiss remains employed
Am I only dreaming?"
