| Frightened Rabbit – Living in Colour Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song seems so uncharacteristically happy for Frightened Rabbit - full of hope and recounting the power of a new love that brings you from the depths of a past failed relationship to the joy of a new one. I love the imagery — “living in colour” and seeing the vibrancy of the new love shining through everything; forcing life (blood) through still veins. Awesome! | |
| Frightened Rabbit – Things Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I think part of the lyrics may be wrong below: Never need these things I'll never need them, oh This is you and me, you are human heat Should be: Never need these things I'll never need them, oh It’s just you I need, you are human heat That actually makes more sense with the rest of the song. This song is about separating all of your belongings (CD collections, t-shirts, whatever) with your former lover at the end of a relationship and realizing that none of the material thins matter; you have lost the only thing of value and the only thing you cared about, which was your lover. The rest is nothing but useless objects. You need your love back to be happy (warm from human heat), but she is gone. The “Never going back,” not getting back together, just underscores why the things can be left behind. |

| Frightened Rabbit – Yes, I Would Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this song is about that time when you realize that a break-up is final and you now realize how much you have lost. This is the struggle to win back someone who has been hurt one too many times or has given up on you ever changing. There is a conversation running though parts of the song, a hopeful pleading and a disappointing retort: Lead me, I'm stupid from a lesson learned You've learned nothing You told me to get lost to find myself There is a demand to change (change if you can't be bound) and a promise to change (yes I would). It all fails though, and the writer is left with nothing but pain. And the pain comes in waves and doesn’t stop: And first it bleeds then it stops I feel like I've been filling up He wants another chance to make it right — pleading that this time will be different and that he will change (Believe me now / Yes I would). He doesn’t want to give up (And I can't sink now), but there is a realization the his ex-lover has moved on and the chance to make things right will probably never happen: Well what if I am never thrown that bone And what if this tear in my side just pours, and pours, and pours I wonder if you've noticed that I'm not around The loss of a lonely man never makes much of a sound Despite all of his effort to make things right, she is gone. The pain still remains, as do the pleas that will never be heard (Believe me now / Yes I would). |
