Brilliant. I don't have much to say about this one, but I love it so much. What lyrics. Puts that whole feeling into a little phrase: "stained glass eyes." |

| Boards of Canada – Turquoise Hexagon Sun Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I fucking love this song. It reminds me of that feeling of detatchment that sometimes descends when everyone else is talking and having fun. You're there, but somehow, you just can't bring yourself to be a part of it. You don't feel as though you're a part of it. You're just passing through and observing. |

| John Frusciante – After The Ending Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Every time I hear this song, it brings me to tears. The music and the lyrics are so beautiful. It's about the circular nature of things. How creation and destruction are one and the same. It's about life and our struggle to find something to live for; some kind of meaning, but it eludes us, because we are but limited beings trying to reach beyond where our means can take us. Life seems so insignificant in the vastness of the universe, and this is emphasized by how fleeting it is: " although death is true for me/ There is nothing after the ending." When you think about things like that and things like the pain of life and the endless wars, it's easy to become disillusioned with it all. However, there's a sort of comfort to be had from the acknowledgement of our insignificance in the universe. When he says that "there is nothing after the ending," this doesn't necessarily have to be taken as a pessimistic view, because when taken with everything else, it becomes clear that there IS no ending. We are all part of the infinity of life. Everything that ever was cannot be erased. Everything is eternal. |

| Tortured Soul – I Might Do Something Wrong Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I just discovered these guys and they're brilliant. I just created an account to offer something for their page because NO-ONE HAS COMMENTED! So I was checking out their songs and came across this one and it suits my mood perfectly at the moment. To me, this song is about that feeling of desperation you get when someone you wish you could be with isn't there with you and hasn't talked to you. You struggle with the pain and loneliness; you feel as if you have a "tortured soul." In this state, you could do something "reckless." It could be being unfaithful and sleeping with someone else to ease the loneliness (whether that's a percieved unfaithfulness to your heart or to the absent partner), but then again, it could be anything that you regret and that harms you. That's why when I was listening to the song, it reminded me straight away of having urges to self harm. My first comment :) Peace. |
