| Tegan and Sara – Just Me Lyrics | 15 years ago |

These are my favorite lines - maybe my favorite of all their lines. This song is also my one of my favs. I'm pretty horrible at telling Tegan and Sara's voice apart at this stage in their lives, I think, from the lyrics - it's by Sara. Anyone want to confirm this or tell me I'm incorrect? |

| Tegan and Sara – Paperback Head Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I interpret this song to be about being/becoming/staying a role model. Like; not making an ass of yourself when stuff goes bad - particularly in front of people you're not really close too- and trying to deal with things in a more "appropriate matter" than what seems natural to you. And also having a hard time with being a role model. Also it's also got, with 'material girl', well - it's like they're saying it's unrealistic (to be a perfect person/material girl") and also that it's not necessarily the "right" thing to do- it's what the standard or cultural ideal is. Because material is what's also thought of as fake, not meaningful. But that's if it's about their point of view (I think someone said Sara wrote it, but I've also heard they both wrote it too - so I've said they). |

Maybe it's about Sara winning over a girl she's really into, but maybe this other girl hasn't been with a girl before - like they're confused/reluctant and aren't sure about being in a same-sex relationship. Maybe. This line "Unnerved, the nerve, you're nervous, nervous that I'm right" - makes me think that in particular. Could be a lot more vague (just being about someone hard to love) - but how many out gay/bi girls wouldn't be interested in Sara? Not impossible, but it backs up my theory. |
