| Company of Thieves – Tallulah Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| It was inspired by Tallulah Louisiana. It's about how when things are abandoned and hopeless nature comes and takes over, creating something new and beautiful again. | |

I believe this song is simply about the downs in life as you age. "The Piano is not firewood yet" as in the music and beauty of life is not all lost. And because the heart beats in threes like a waltz, you must keep dancing and loving life no matter the pain. "Everyone knows you're going to live" is simply saying that everyone has been through tough times and they know that you'll come through okay. In the third stanza it tells how when the piano does become firewood (the beauty and hope in life is gone) she's going to take it apart herself, and call friends over to warm their hands. She says this because even in the death of happiness and beauty, one should still find a way to have positivity and have friends there to help you. "don't look so shocked Don't judge so harsh you don't know you are only spying" is saying that people who are under the pain and feel as though the happiness in there lives are gone away are so shocked that one can sit there with their friends and "warm their hands" on their own burning pianos, but they're too ignorant to try because they are simply watching. "at least we'll get hurt trying" is saying that it is going to hurt no matter what, but they would rather it hurt while trying to make the best out of it. She then talks about how a heart cannot be helped and you'll wake up one day and miss all of your toys, because things were simpler and there were fewer worries of the piano becoming firewood. And the same thing with the next stanza The last stanza is simply saying that if you love everything you have rather than hate all that has been done to you, you'll live happier...... but there are still going to be times when you simply cry..... |

| Regina Spektor – Fidelity Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| She's explaining how she loved someone, she thought she was being safe by having "one foot on the ground" or in other words she never "loved him fully" or so she thought. But she did love him fully. And her heart was shattered, and afterward she kept distracting herself through her "music" meaning that she makes "voices" telling her she never loved him and she's alright. All of her friends told her that she will get better, and she puts a mask on that says that shes not hurting, but it does hurt. She also says "suppose" often suggesting that she wished she never fell in love. And singing love songs is metaphorical for promising herself that she'll find love. And in the end, she will. | |
