| Manchester Orchestra – I Can Feel a Hot One Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Taken from an online interview; "On Mean Everything to Nothing's seventh track, the standout 'I Can Feel a Hot One,' the singer recalls a dream involving a car crash that takes his wife's life. 'The way that song is written is, in the first half I'm basically just describing touring and kind of my relationship with God and my wife,' he explains. 'And the end is about this dream I had about us being in the van and getting sideswiped and hit by a huge truck. I dreamed my wife was pregnant at the time and I lost her. But this life was inside her, and in some weird way I was able to celebrate that there was some new life coming with one ending.'" |

| Patrick Wolf – Hard Times Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this song is all about War. People always think their side is the 'right' side in war. And cruel acts are justified. Any misjustice isn't questioned, it's just covered up by the majority of the population. If anyone has read Animal Farm, this song screams Boxer to me. The workhorse who believed everything would be okay if he worked harder. Even though the farm was being turned into a dictatorship and it was moving away from their idea of a perfect society (everyone pulling their weight and earning equality, god, it's an allegory to communism, what more can I say?), he wasn't smart enough to realize that he had to do more than just work harder. But that was all he could do. |
