| Sky Sailing – Brielle Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Brielle is an ocean town where the character in the song considers his home town. Young uses Seattle for much of his creative thinking (Hello Seattle), so my guess is it's a town (fictional?) in the Northwest Pacific coast region. I think it makes the lyrics make the most sense... He leaves and comes back... He has nostalgic feelings for the place... | |
| Matt Pond PA – Halloween Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| You put all of my ideas into the perfect words with this interpretation. It seems like you wrote this for a class paper though and reached you length requirement at the end because the fire interpretations seems less finished then the rest, but still one of the most well thought out interpretations I've read on this site. | |
| Phoenix – Run Run Run Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song seems to be about politics. 'Business calls me/now I'm running out of lies' many people say politicians are in the business of lying. 'contradictions get me everything I want' as in politicians taking many different sides in order to get the most positive public appeal as possible. 'A million letters, they couldn't make me change my mind' politicians get lots of letters from different voters and organizations and the people feel like it rarely does any good. What is up in the air is: is this song about the negatives of politics? or maybe about being a bad politician and needing to get out of it 'think I better run...' 'no more favors, I think I know what we can do about it'? or maybe it's about a certain political problem 'trouble down the waterfront' waterfront would be where the port or harbor is so maybe something to do with foreign trade or dealing with outside forces into your community? or maybe it's a combination of these like he's a politician who messed up a deal and he needs to get out or he was a bad politician and got caught? I'd still have to figure out some of the lines like 'it's a clear view' he uses it several times with different attachments to it. 'when all you are is getting paid' seems pretty obvious, it's easy when your doing it just to get paid, but 'no one's waitin at the door' I don't get. What is the door and why would someone be waiting at it? 'don't you underestimate me' seems to contradict what the rest of the song seems to be about. I thought it was a song about receding from politics but this line seems pushy? |
