| Jack Johnson – Losing Hope Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think in general, losing hope is easy and can be unexpected and crushing. Anything can make you lose hope, such as an idol shot down, and you can do desperate things when you feel like you need to gain hope. It's about how change can be scary or difficult. The part about feeding the fool could represent telling someone that everything is fine, someone who's never experience hardships or is naive. When you have someone on your side, such as a friend to call, it makes gaining hope easier. |

| Regina Spektor – Paris Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think it's about a woman who is abused by her husband, but they still love each other, even though he can't control his anger. There are a couple books about this subject that can explain how that works better than I can. Because of the feminist writers she mentioned, she probably knows they wouldn't want her to go with her abusive husband to Paris, but they couldn't stop her. She also doesn't want to leave this man because "he is all I know". It would have felt strange and alien to leave him. | |
