| Fever Ray – Coconut Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Coconut is about an island that exists only in the mind's eye...an escape from a reality of poverty and family issues. Where is it? Who knows, but she is there, and she's going to enjoy it. He came back one day and told me stories that I now dream of (Her male friend or family remember returned from a tropical paradise and told her of its beauty) open atmosphere take me anywhere take me there (She begins to dream of paradise to escape her sad reality) we have water mouth sand in pockets and a strained household (When you are hungry, your mouth waters. Her family is strapped for cash. Their pockets are empty, and they can't afford food. They fight because of money issues.) when the night falls there is fire in the bungalow (As night falls, she is taken by her dreams to the storied bungalow of the tropical paradise.) lay back with a big cigar lay back we are where we are lay back with a big cigar lay back this is where we are (She is possibly coming in and out of a dream, OR she is convincing herself that her dream is a reality.) |

| First Aid Kit – In The Morning Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Amazing how these young sisters can write and perform something so powerful... easily interpreted, but not that lovey dovey stuff that is so popular these days for their generation... come on American girls...take a page from their book. After all, American folk IS their main influence. | |

This song is obviously a soldier's perspective. Coming home after a long, long walk Coming home after a dozen of walks Coming home after a long, long war Coming home after a dozen of wars (Soldiers march(walk), right? War couldn't be any more straight-forward) We are out of wind We have pock-marked chin We have lots of water We turn the other cheek and we win (They are tired of fighting...many have had small-pox...they have water, but not the will to fight...they win in the eyes of whom?) One thousand stories and there's always more We've been offered one more lap to go In my hand I hold a key It's dear to me cause I know where it leads (Everyone has their own war stories...this is their last call to duty in the military... They hold a gun in their hands, which leads to 1 of 2 places...freedom or freedom by death) We are out of wind We have pock-marked chin We have all this water We turn the other cheek with a grin (turns the cheek because they know freedom is on its way(death), and they are tired of fighting) |
