| Tune-Yards – Es-So Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Esso is a brand name for gas stations in much of the world. So I'm guessing this song is about how you fuel your body, or fail doing so: "I run over my own body with my own car". | |
| Matt Pond PA – Wild Girl Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Very wonderful song. It's my favorite song from MP yet. I kind of wish it were a full length since I can't get enough of that chord progression and harmonies. | |
| Battles – Ddiamondd Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I agree with biomass about the speaker dealing with the betrayal of the american dream. Another interpretation I see is this - it could be speaking to crime and evil as it's reflected in all of us. It's as though the speaker is looking at someone who committed an unspeakable crime and seeing that the criminal isn't much different from himself. |

| Vampire Weekend – Holiday Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I think this song is about a girl in the middle of a war longing for a vacation. I don't think it's the middle-east though. A few things point to it being set in England in World War II: The word 'holiday' seems to reference British English where holiday often means vacation. "A vegetarian since the invasion" references how many people were vegetarian during the war due to a lack of meat production. "96 point Futura" is a font that would have been used on a front-page during that time. You wouldn't see Futura on a front page these days. I just love this song, it speaks to the sense of longing amidst chaos we all face. |
