Mika – Blue Eyes Lyrics 15 years ago
i think that this song is about someone who takes medication for depression and expects it to fix her. but really you can't do that, because if you don't face your problems they'll never go away.

I'm talkin' bout blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
so blind, so blind
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter with you?

i think this means that he's saying you can't see clearly through eyes clouded with sorrow. i could go more in-depth, i guess.......

Jack Johnson – No Other Way Lyrics 15 years ago
wow what you said makes so much sense to me! now that i've read what you posted, i think of it as maybe jack johnson putting down his dog... because when he says "my thoughts aren't at peace with the plans that we make" its like he's decided to put her to sleep because she's old... idk... plus all the things you said still make sense with the putting down his dog thing....

Jack Johnson – If I Could Lyrics 15 years ago
its not the baby thats going to die. when he says papa cried baby cried he means the father is crying with joy and the baby is jus crying because thats what they do at their birth. its one of jack's friends who's going to die, but he's ok with it because "new life makes losing life easier to understand"... basically he sees the need for death because the baby was born. he just wishes there WASN'T a need for death.

Matt Nathanson – Car Crash Lyrics 15 years ago
i think it IS about bottling up emotions, but its probably more. like i think that he wants to feel something, feel the adrenaline, get that high that comes with danger. like maybe he wants to be in a car crash so he can feel alive.

Jack Johnson – Cocoon Lyrics 16 years ago
k so i know this song is oldish now and the conversation about it has probably stopped by now, but i just discovered jack johnson and i would like to share my opinion. every time i hear this song, i think of... a mess of things, really. but i think that this song is about someone having relationship problems with a girl that he has gotten pregnant.

"well based on your smile
im betting all of this might be over soon" this gives me the feeling that she's near her time to give birth.

and the part about he'd rather lose if he's betting against her is maybe because he doesn't want to be wrong because then she'll be late, and could have complications in her birth.....

and all the parts where it seems they are breaking up, with all their "use only what you really need, mend your broken heart and leave," parts are because they are having some problems, confusion maybe, because they're not entirely sure about what to do with a baby.

"but im on your side
And i dont want to be your regret
id rather be your cocoon" i think this means that he doesn't want her to regret sleeping with him, he wants to protect her.

the blah blah blah part is probably because you can say so much but sometimes its better not to use words.

i hope this makes sense to someone, please some replies so i can figure out if i've gone insane?!
