| Owl City – Dental Care Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I'm thinking I must've seen this song in a little bit of a different life. Yes, it's about visiting a dentist and smiling. But it has nothing to do wtih eating sweets but figuratively keeping your mouth clean. That is, don't say hurtful things or don't full your mouth with dirty words, because it will figuratively rot your teeth. I see this in the Verse; 'When hygienists leave on long vacations That's when dentists scream and lose their patience Talking only brings the toothaches on Because I say the stupidest things So if my result goes south I'll swallow my pride with an Aspirin And shut my mouth' He says hygienists as in our good conscience or just good people in general. When we forget about our good conscience, we tend to say hurtful things and bring the toothaches on, and so the dentists are busy seeing more people. Did that make sense only in my head? XD Also in the verse; 'Golf and alcohol don't mix And that's why I don't drink and drive Because good grief, I'd knock out my teeth And have to kiss my smile goodbye' Alcohol tends to let us loose our inhibition and we say rather stupid things when drunk. And we'll probably end up getting ourselves hurt in the end. What also made me believe this was the lines right at the beginning; 'I brush my teeth and look in the mirror And laugh out loud as I'm beaming from ear to ear I'd rather pick flowers instead of fights And rather than flaunt my style I'd flash you a smile of clean pearly whites' Don't go picking fights and make yourself appear big and put other people down. Show people how great your teeth look because you don't say mean and hurtful things. =D Anywho, that's how I took it. |

| Anna Nalick – Breathe (2 A.M.) Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I always thought it ironic that this song, called Breathe, had very few breaths taken when singing this song. It requires quite the ability of holding one's breath as a requirement to singing the long phrases. And I thought, maybe it's intentional? It's almost as if she has so much that she needs to say, and then reminds herself in her chorus to slow down and breathe. I actually like that about the song. Singing it seems to take my breath away, and then just when I forget what its like to breathe and take my time with the song, the lyrics remind me to do so. |
