| Bright Eyes – Ladder Song Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I agree that the song is about death and afterlife. In these lines: "See now a star is born Looks just like a blood orange Don't it just make you want to cry?" It reminds me of the scientist Tycho Brae; he discovered a "new-born star" (it was acually dying) in a time when it was normally believed that everything above the moon (stars and planets) were unchanging. This disproved the old paradigme and gave therefore people a reason to doubt God and the afterlife. I think that this is what he has in mind when saying "don't it just make you want to cry?" because this is (was) a proof that maybe the afterlife wasn't what we thought it was after all. |

"Saying everything you've ever seen was just a mirror And you've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever And now you're laying in a bathtub full of freezing water Wishing you were a ghost" - The endless fever is what keeps you up at night. In this song, i think it's love. He's been wondering about love all his life, and suddenly he's laying in the freezing water, which is him realizing what it's all about. That brings him down, and then he's whishing that he is a ghost, something that doesn't have to get involved in life, in love, just observing.. |

| Cursive – Bloody Murderer Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I just think it's about a relationsship that ended badly, and it was the guy who broke up with the girl for some reason and left her high and dry. Later, he tries to get this girl back, even though he "murdered" her. And she doesn't want him back -> "And she began to scream. "Bloody murderer! Let me rest in peace!" "When I was yours, you fled the scene. Now you can't wash your hands of me" Super nice song! |
