Lou Reed – Satellite Of Love Lyrics

14 years ago

I like the Jealousy angle for this song. The whole Lyric gives me the feeling of a man who is dealing with the letting go/holding on phase of a breakup. "I watched it for a little while, I like to watch things on TV" is my favorite line because of it's simplicity. It's like sure, nobody wants to see their girl with another dude, but we still go on facebook to see what she's up to and who she's hanging out with. We indulge and even feed our jealousy in a masochistic rage. I'm surprised that nobody commented on the latently sexual nature of "soon it will be filled with park and cars". I mean I think this song really captures that voyeuristic, and stalkerish aspect of jealousy. It's like the worst kind of agony, and the lyrics are humorous and poignant which makes it funny but also more agonizing at the same time. That last lyric reminds me of this stand up comic who I can't remember. He was talking about an ex-girlfriend and breaking up. He was all like, and I'm paraphrasing: 'You know how your girl likes to take your big fat load on her face, and you think you're special? You think it's just YOUR load that she loves so much. No, your girl likes loads. Not just yours. She's out there right now with another man doing it the EXACT same way she did it with you.' I think this song is supposed to evoke that sensation of okay someone is banging my girl, the girl who used to be all mine, and there's not a damn thing I can do about it.

Regina Spektor – Field Below Lyrics	16 years ago
On the other hand this song represents a yearning for nature and connectedness that is entirely unique to a kid who grew up in New York City and has never heard a rooster crow in his or her life. It's a longing for something completely foreign yet almost a latent longing that all human beings have for nature. That's just one side of it that I relate to having grown up in nyc too.

Regina Spektor – Two Birds Lyrics

16 years ago

I think the two birds are two people beginning a relationship. The woman (or significant other) is ready to let go and fall in love (ie: fly). It's scary and new, but she's ready and willing to take the plunge. Almost like little baby birds when they first learn to fly. It's a young love, and it's naive and immature in the best possible way. The other bird says he's ready because he wants to get a piece of that ass or just because he feels he's supposed to go through the motions, but deep down he's actually scared to commit and he's literally scared of "falling" in love. It's a cutesie kind of song, where she calls the boy a liar with a lot of the same kind of affectation that little kids will scream out "liar, liar" at other little kids. It's a very juvenile way of expressing that young heartbreak and deception. But aspects of that dynamic stay the same throughout peoples lives, and I think the second verses express some of that. In other words, as we get older, the deception, or the unwillingness still feels the same as the first time you fell in love with the boy from the playground. It's a very simple poignant lyric and I think it's open to a lot of different associations, this is just the one that hit me the strongest.
