Eels – Climbing To The Moon Lyrics 16 years ago
I have rarely been so moved by song lyrics as I have by the lines, "Got a sky that looks like heaven, got an earth that looks like shit." Those lines always kinda punch me in the gut. I recall some of the darker periods in my life and standing there... Torn between the two.

Truely beautiful words, truely beautiful work.

It's about her fight against breast cancer. And the fight against breast cancer.

K's Choice – My Heart Lyrics 16 years ago
This song just shrieks of the silence of a dead relationship.
Love is gone, sex is pointless, they're together for the child. And yet, making it "official" is so painful that it would be easier to have a broken body than a broken heart.

Oof, this song is so intense for me. I had an ex who called this "our song" as I think he gravely misunderstood it, but it was a bit of a "Freudian slip" situation because even though it didn't mean what he thought it did, it was definitely an appropriate song for the relationship (minus the child [thank God]).

Leonard Cohen – Hallelujah Lyrics 16 years ago
Someone probably already said this, but I'm lazy.

I've read that Leonard Cohen wrote verse upon verse to this song, so I think that Jeff Buckley just used several different verses.

Maria Mena – Calm Under The Waves Lyrics 16 years ago
I always thought it was about suicide. All the explanations make sense.
Specifically the stanza:
"With your voice in my head
I could float here instead,
But there's a calm under the waves
So I choose to sink."
And the final "I let go" just sounds so tragic, like giving up.

This song is incredible. I love Maria Mena, and I think this might be my favorite of her songs.
