| Cursive – Bloody Murderer Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
can you believe cursive is classified as "emo" on wikipedia? i mean, i have no problem with musicians being emotional because that's what real music is about, but the phrase "emo" is usually reserved for bands like my chemical romance, green day and a.f.i. and cursive is completely different. the band's subject matter is way different and musically more complex. so basically, it's no more "emo" than bob dylan or sufjan stevens. just thought i'd bring it up. maybe somebody could get on wikipedia and change it. |

so happy that blur is putting a new album out! favorite band! saw damon albarn at coachella with gorillaz and nearly died. hope he comes to san diego with blur! i think it's pretty obvious what this song is about. self explanatory for the most part. favorite lyric: "out of bed/ thought it was a plane crash/ but i'm sure that i was dreaming". so many meanings i can't choose! i think he's referring to bad dreams but also living in the modern world as it is, and how we get so scatterbrained and distraught because our morals don't agree with most of the generic lifestyle that when we wake up we think it's all been just some plane crash. but still, you're not sure if you've been dreaming. go blur! |

| Bright Eyes – Lime Tree Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
you're not ranting. i agree with all of it. "Since the operation I heard you're breathing just for one" that line is so depressing, because if you think about the beauty of a mother and her child breathing together, and then ending it, it's saddening. i'm not a girl, but i can understand the feeling of sustaining not only you're own heartbear, but anothers. it really is heart breaking. i agree that the song seems to go through a though process. at first reality of the situation, and then the immense feeling of regret. if i ever meet someone who has had an abortion, though, i probably wouldnt have them listen to this song. it would depress them too much. |

| Bright Eyes – Amy in the White Coat Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
when he says "a bag of warm fluid", i think it's more like she is just a body with bones and fluids but her soul, or contentment, are missing. the father took the parts of her that made her innocent and human, and now she's just a bag of warm fluid that sort of ghosts through life. i have a frend who was molested, and it is the worst affliction a girl can endure. conor oberst seems to be attracted to helping people though, or comforting them. kind of like holden in catcher in the rye and how he wants to save the children. i wonder what it is in a person that makes them so compassionate. |

| Modest Mouse – The Cold Part Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I see the cold part of the world as one's depression or whatever ails you, and Isaac is saying "so Long", as in he is going to leave it behind him and move on. Or at least try. "I stepped down as president of Antarctica Can't blame me, don't blame me, don't" Because Antarctica is the "cold part of the world", being the president of it would mean one is the most depressed or coldest person in the world. Isaac wants to step down, but he feels an obligation to stay in his state of mind, because leaving the cold part might be leaving some people who either cause him pain or he associates with pain. "Can't blame me" He reasons that you can't really blame someone for trying to leave their depression. "Don't blame me" He starts to feel afraid of what he's trying to do. The people he's trying to leave, and the depression he has become so accustomed to. "Don't..." He's genuinely scared at this point. I sympathize with this song more than anything. |

| Grizzly Bear – I Live with You Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
i think it might be about how our parents generation and our own are growing apart, because of the media influence and perpetual state of unconciousness, and our's is in a constant state of degeneracy. "You brought us this far We’ll do what we can" saying our parents did the best they could, and now it's up to us to shape the world. "They’ll try To keep us apart" saying how degeneracy, and the fact that our economy runs best on our generations self-conciousness and destructive tendencies (as well as our fathers, i guess), is keeping us apart from the customs and traditions of our fathers. i think Deep Blue Sea touches on it too. the lyricist doesn't want our parent's generation to leave, because he's afraid of how we might not be able to stop our downward trajectory. or i might be way wrong. that's just how i see it. |
