A Fine Frenzy – Swan Song Lyrics 15 years ago
just my interpretation, but:

maybe it's about two people deciding if they want a relationship to take off, but are just too held back by something. whether it be their friends or their surroundings or maybe even themselves.

(Wretched, look at me, I've lost it, melting on the table
In parking lots and markets
I cant help it, loves you like a starfish loves the salty water
Like a selfish daughter)

--- k, so. she likes this guy, a lot. but maybe too much? does she feel like she's holding him back? "like a selfish daughter"

(But I wrote the words to the swan song
The author of the wrong
And I said what I said and I meant it
But now I regret it)

--- i feel like she confessed her feelings to him, knowing at the time that the relationship was "wrong", and maybe he didn't receive the 'news' as she had hoped.

(Foolish, how was I so careless
Pawning off my treasure, the envy of an heiress
Now my dollars are crumbled in my pocket
How can I reclaim it?
What if someone's got it?)

--- perhaps she is starting to feel guilty about just throwing her feelings out there, at somebody who maybe doesn't want to hear it. "how can i reclaim it?"

(How could the world have turned so ugly
I am dying
Could you touch me again?
Touch me again)

--- i think she is asking like "how is it we can't be together?" and coming to terms with the fact that NOT being a couple is the painful alternative that will leave them both better off.





call me crazy, that's just how i saw the relation into evryday life. haha(:

The Rocket Summer – Nothing Matters Lyrics 16 years ago
a lot of the lyrics are missing throughout the song, but i'll contribute one correction so that i can comment on it:

"the things i chase,
the status i crave
it's nothing, it's nothing.
**we invest in the bankers,
and not in the maker -
think about it!
**and i am the culprit,
i am no saint.
how long will i stand here
obstructing love's way?"

to me, one of the most moving and powerful quotes off the album. this song is an amazing breakthrough of faith and love, and is definetly my favorite song off "of men and angels". beautiful record :)

Jason Reeves – paint in golden Lyrics 16 years ago
how does this not have any comments?
this song is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!
it's so calm and comforting, and i find myself fitting it into any kind of day.
it can't be any more pure and for that, i appreciate. you can't get much better than this.
:)
my own personal interpretation is love, generally. or trying to love.

Paramore – Turn It Off Lyrics 16 years ago
maybe i'm not being conventional, but to me this song kinda sounded like
knowing that somebody isn't good for you, contemplating being with them,
and dismissing the idea reluctantly. like, you want to be involved, but
you know it won't end well, so you don't even start.

"I'll turn it off, in all my spite"
...does anybody else agree?
