| The Cranberries – Linger Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I swore, I swore I would be true. This song is so amazing. It's still creeps in my head even now that I'm grown and I remember it from my mother listening to it in my childhood. Now I really know the meaning of it. There's always that one person that "lingers" in your head..in your head even after you break up. It really does turn you into a fool, and you'll do whatever for the person even though you know it's wrong, and they treated you wrong. But you always really knew, I just want to be with you. |

This song is one of the reasons my boyfriend is still alive. I can't even begin to imagine my life without him. This song means so much to me. |

| Why? – These Few Presidents Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I feel like it's about his ex girlfriend. Who committed suicide or died one way or another. I agree with iesika about how they came back to her home after possibly her funeral for the first part of the song. The chorus and "these few presidents frowning in my pocket" no amount of money that he could give to any "God" would enable her to come back and talk..or let her live again. "even though I haven't seen you in years, yours is a funeral I'd fly to from anywhere" He still has feelings for her. You wouldn't drop everything and fly to someones funeral if you didn't love them, or if they didn't mean something to you. "i thought i had a pebble in my sock i pulled it off and shook out a wasp it stumbled out lost, and without a pause un-stung as i was, still i stomped it" Possibly recalling how things use to be whenever there relationship ended? Like he broke it off with her and she was "lost" and so "without a pause" even though she was not threatening, being "un-stung", he was harsh and stomped her.. "i thought, there is no paved street worthy of your perfect SKIN AND AVIAN feet" And now the "wasp" is crushed on a paved street..but she deserved more than that. "while my crooked chinese fingers groped the machinery of your throat" one last time in the coffin, he says goodbye and touches her neck? also it could be a reference to her dying, and how she died...like committing suicide, hanging herself? May be a stretch...but this is how I feel about it. My ex-boyfriend, who now lives on the complete opposite side of the country, is who I think of when this song comes on. Still love that boy to death. But I was the wasp, and un-stung as I was he stomped me. I'd still fly to his funeral even if I don't see him for years.. He recently told me that he loved me and felt like an idiot for how everything turned out...I only wish he had realized that sooner, BEFORE he moved. |

| Local Natives – Who Knows Who Cares Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
i've been going down down into the river baby listen to the sound it's something only god knows you figure it out, i can't stay water's in the clouds is my life about A change? who knows, who cares so we took a van down to colorado where we ran into the dead i took you by the hand know that even with your doubts, it's ok take into account that it's not about A change who knows, who cares you could let it down jump into the river baby easy as it sounds it's never quite as easily done the current has us now, it's ok take into account that it's all about TO change who knows, who cares no one's been there but i don't care i know all have been there i don't care i know To me this song is about letting your walls down. When someone new comes into your life they can always make a huge impact. You get to know more about the person and your life begins to change because they are not only opening up to you, but you are opening up to them as well. It's not a process, you just go along with it, such as a river's current. You can tell yourself to let yourself open up to someone but it's hard to actually get yourself to do it.. In the beginning of the song, I think he is telling about the relationship with that person ending "you figure it out, I can't stay" <--he can't let himself open up But throughout the rest of the song I think it is about during their relationship and how he is trying to get the other person to open up, but in the end it is himself that really couldn't That's just how I feel about it though. |

| Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Hysteric Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"No longer, no longer" You're not together anymore, with the person you felt like you would be with for a while. And as you walk away your steps feel strange like you've been there so many times but now it's different because you're not there for the same reason, you're not a part of there lives anymore..like you would like to be. But you think of all the old times together and it flows through your mind so sweetly but hangs so heavy since you're not together anymore, and when you were together you felt so complete and that everything was finally alright. "No wonder, no wonder" It couldn't have lasted long, may have felt like your "other half" but this time as you walk away you walk back and realize where it all changed. You still miss everything about him and the memories are so sweet and heavy. Hysterical. You're hysterical missing him. ): |

| Phoenix – Second to None Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Seems self explanatory, They were in a relationship, it went bad and she said he was a liar. He says they both have changed and what would be the difference if they were to go back to normal again? It wouldn't work out, end of line. Oh geezee, I wish it could. Ugh, they have the best relationship songs. Feels like this one is being sung for me. |

| Irving – I Can't Fall In Love Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I believe this song is talking about how he cannot afford to fall in love. He calls her "my darling". He spends the morning thinking how wonderful she is while drinking coffee, shaving, etc. The kiss goodbye.. He stayed after a night with her and is beginning to fall in love with her but doesn't believe it himself. |

| Copeland – To Be Happy Now Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think the meaning of this song has something to do with you going forward even with hard times "and in disarray you just want to live one more day" like you're moving along and holding on as long as you can to get back on the right track. "you just want to be happy now" you're sick of being sad and ready to forget about the past and be happy. "longing and sorrow it'll find you where we are smiling down the avenue" even though you try to forget and be happy it will come back to you/stay in the back of your mind, but you will just have to smile and keep moving to stay happy. "and the children getting younger as we pass" you're getting older.."they couldn't make you turn back" given you had a second chance, and remembering back to your happy childhood you wouldn't want to go back. "When every fire we sparked was just another blinking out" sometimes, again hard times will come back, but they will be just a "spark"/ very quick and you'll be fine. "They're glowing like an ember in the dark" they'll stay there for a while but in the end you're happy and they burn out(: |
