| 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]). |

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. |
