Noah and the Whale – Stranger Lyrics 15 years ago
Think the final lyrics are" And all in a year, its gonna be better. And all in a year, I'm gonna be happy." Like it will only take him a year to get over it, or maybe he is just giving himself a year even tho he knows it could be longer...

Noah and the Whale – Stranger Lyrics 15 years ago
Yeah thats totally what it is, he just broke up with his ex before writing the album. Notice how there is no female backing singer? Thats cuz the backing singer was his girlfriend! In the first song its kinda hopeful then it gets darker and darker until he the final song he is over it and saying my door is always open for you =)

Noah and the Whale – I Have Nothing Lyrics 15 years ago
God forbid you ever go thru a break up but if you do you will just connect with this album on a whole other level! I'm going thru one right now and I know I "need her light in my life" but I just know it wont work anymore. He even says he will change who is to get her back and I totally get that, its the hardest thing in the world....

Noah and the Whale – Rocks and Daggers Lyrics 15 years ago
After listening to this song for about three years now last week it clicked with me that at the start he says "oh her rocks" instead of just "the rocks." So the rocks he is referring to are like her heart and all the bad stuff that has happened to her have not destroyed her heart and he is tankful for the love her heart heart has always given. The boat is there love and one argument could finish it for him but her hopes her heart will always be there for him. Think it completely changes the meaning of the song...

The piece about the sun and christmas often confused me but I think its saying if the sun is always shining then christmas wont be the same. Every relationship needs some snow or bad times so to speak...

Thanks for helping me see what the final lyric was tho, I always thought it was "cuz you've just been ignored by this guy" haha =)

Noah and the Whale – Second Lover Lyrics 15 years ago
I was in an internet relationship before, twice. Both of the women were in relationships, one was married and one had a boyfriend, both had kids. So I can totally relate to this song, every lyric in it refers to an internet relationship. The line that hurt me everytime was "it kills me to know that when we are through, you go to your real lover who puts real kisses on you" I know exactly how he feels, it killed me! She has two lovers, and the internet one will always come second so he is her second lover.... I always felt the line about a man underground had to do with the fact that he was maybe in Wales (where Charlie Fink is from) and she was in the states so to her he would be underground?

submissions
Noah and the Whale – Give a Little Love Lyrics 15 years ago
Again I think this is a message to Laura Marling, his then girlfriend, but he is writing it in third person as if its a message from someone else. The fact that he saying his love surrounds her like an ether in everything that she does was possibly one of the reasons she split with him, things were maybe getting too serious =(

submissions
Noah and the Whale – Do What You Do Lyrics 15 years ago
I really do not think this is a break up song guys. He was in a relationship with the backing singer Laura Marling during the making of this album. It was only after this album was released that he split with her and went into his break up phase for the writing of The First Days of Spring album... So I think its about meeting her and "losing his heart and letting love grow" and he thought he would never find love again but "when love comes a-calling dont forget the tune"....

submissions
Noah and the Whale – Shape of My Heart Lyrics 15 years ago
One correction... When the world was all covered by snow.
Awesome song anyway. I dont think its about falling in love. Its about being numb from all the pain of break ups and not wanting to find love again because the pain of a break up is not worth it.
And when I look to the shape of the sky,
I give thanks for this hollow chest of mine;
That I no longer feel
The great weight of ordeals
That can make this life so unkind...

Villagers – Ship of Promises Lyrics 15 years ago
I just see it like when you get into a relationship you make all kinds of promises to love one another for ever but things dont always work out like that...
Also the stuff about the church really refers to ireland where we would have to go to church when the bell rang and how the church takes you in cleans you up makes your dreams all good and wholesome....
But we would just put up with it, i love this song so much!!

submissions
Villagers – Pieces Lyrics 15 years ago
Definitely about a break up, the way he keeps repeating that he has been in pieces until eventually his pain is too much to relate in mere words and all he can do is howl like a wolf! Gives me shivers every time and anyone who has been in love and lost that love can relate to that pain. This artist will go so far in life, he will "be counted among men" in fact....

submissions
Villagers – Home Lyrics 15 years ago
The saint and the snake refers to saint patrick who chased the snakes out of Ireland apparently...
a saint is chasing a snake for everybodys sake so they all go burning cars, i think refers to saint paddys day itself when everyone gets drunk and often burn out cars....
The stuff about the little girl getting poisoned and drowned is quite but I still adore this song, in fact the entire album is genius, there is not one bad song on the album!!

Villagers – To Be Counted Among Men Lyrics 15 years ago
After listening to this song continuously for a month now I have finally realized what its about... At first I thought it was about him wanting to be counted among the great artists of the world. However I continued to listen and when i heard "young paul" it clicked its about St,Paul from the bible!! Many of you may know this already but some may not, Paul never met Jesus Christ although he was an apostle. He came to the faith when Jesus died. Thats why theres all the stuff about Heaven and Hell and being Born Again because Paul the baptist was born again christian...
Thats what i think, I could be wrong of course but it feels right to me. Paul would have wanted to be counted among the rest of the apostles even though he was late in joining the gang so to speak....

Mystery Jets – the girl is gone Lyrics 15 years ago
"Trading love for an empty glass" like buying a drink for a girl hoping that they will love you??
"They're just like whats on a distant shore"??
This song is about one night stands and how hard they are on your emotions, yeah your together but your living in sin we had hopes but what did they bring?? Nothing but heart ache.....

Mystery Jets – serotonin Lyrics 15 years ago
Its a brilliant play on words this song, when you first listen it seems to be about a girl called Sarah Tonin, very very clever!! Its about when you meet someone and tyhe chemicals start to flow your all high on them but after awhile they fade and your left stranded and love-less, EPIC song....

submissions
Mystery Jets – Flash A Hungry Smile Lyrics 15 years ago
I always thought it was, "when you walk into the room girls frown boys swoon" I like that version better!! I love this song so much the whistling is infectious, seems to be about the dating scene and how it can be dangerous. The guy seems to be a bit of a predator when he "flashes his hungry smile"....

submissions
Mystery Jets – alice springs Lyrics 15 years ago
Couple of small issues with the lyrics, i think its "love is a taste you (get) on the tip of your tongue" and "it (hits) you in your sleep and wakes you when it gets light"...
Other than that its perfect thanks, I love this song so much!!
Think its self-explanatory really, its about being in love with someone so much you would do anything for them....I love how he says better to have loved an lost than lived and never loved anyone, thats pure poetry! I think this album is far far FAR superior to their first album, its another league altogether!!

submissions
Mystery Jets – lady grey Lyrics 15 years ago
At first I thought this song was about some posh woman called Lady Grey. But then I bought a selection of teas and one of these teas was called Lady Grey so im now thinking that this song is about tea!! The same way the song Serotonin is about the chemical and not a girl called Sarah Tonin....

Frightened Rabbit – Backwards Walk Lyrics 15 years ago
Wow i love that theory! I can totally hear it too but its just the scottish accent ha ha. It kills me that there new album does not live up to this one. Without the break up he really has nothing to say. Swim until you cant see land follows on exactly where floating in the forth leaves off. After floating down the river he is now in the sea and she is still trying to hurt him by "throwing stones at my back" in other words hurling insults. Thats really the best song on the album.

Mumford & Sons – Little Lion Man Lyrics 16 years ago
Guys i really dont think its rape yourself or rake yourself.

Its "rate yourself and break yourself" which then connects with the line
"your boldness stands alone among the wreck"!!

Think about,this is a song about a guy who who is self-conscious,
self-critical and extremely judgemental probably has an inferiority complex.

He is rating himself then realizing hes not good enough,
even though his parents called him "little lion man",
and he is breaking himself down again....

Mumford & Sons – White Blank Page Lyrics 16 years ago
I am sooo glad someone else noticed that,
i was about to get all over that.
I mean how you could you possibly think it was grave.
If "page" rhymes with "rage",
then its safe to assume that "think" rhymes with "brink" NOT grave...

Mumford & Sons – Sigh No More Lyrics 16 years ago
i dont agree with zbaze at all,for the simple fact that,
this is NOT a pop group!!
they are clearly an indie group that is why they are so deep and original.
dont comment on something you know nothing about.
this is one of the best indie groups of our time,
from start to finish there is not a bad song on the album,
i also like the way they have brought there irish roots with a twist of british into the mix.
they have married both our counties together in a way that 100 years of peace talks could not!

José González – Hints Lyrics 16 years ago
Why would the song be called HINTS if he was saying hits???

When i first heard the start of this song i instantly thought about
a shakespearean play plus the first word i hear is...
WELL the crowd is waiting for the final kiss,
the one which allows them to sleep well...

This is epic one way or the other,
especially the studio version where he drums on the guitar...

Foals – Two Steps, Twice Lyrics 16 years ago
Ok can someone please explian to me,why he would be saying speed bikes??
Its clearly...
thats one step one step two step
thats two steps two steps three five

Its to do with the intricate steps of a dance....
If someone can make a convincing argument otherwise then i will change my mind...
Until then i am convinced its three five,why would he say speed bike??

Dead Kennedys – We've Got A Bigger Problem Now Lyrics 16 years ago
Pyrokinetic punker jus cuz he don say the words does not make them irrelavant,
they are still a major part of the song in my opinion...
Especially the lyrics in this case they are connected to this song so much.

I adore this song although ive gone off it a bit after seeing theses lyrics,
particularly the nigger knockin for the master race part,
i really didnt know he was rascist...
Quite sad really cuz i think hes brilliant other than that major flaw.

Frightened Rabbit – The Twist Lyrics 16 years ago
well i feel its "pink mist or just LIP dry ice"
As in warm breath on a cool night?
Does that make sense?

Her breath would seem to come out like dry ice vapor,
its extremely poetic to be honest.
That line stuns me every time...

This argument about the two songs (keep yourself warm and the twist)
contradicting is ludicrous,look at it this way...
Think of the album as a complete story from start to finish...
This song is two songs before keep yourself warm
and in it he wants instant gratification so to speak.
then in keep yourself warm he regrets it and realizes it didnt help at all...
You get it now??
