| Bloc Party – Letter to My Son Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I'd always assumed that this was about a father pursuing his son's love interest, or why he shouldn't go around breaking 'young girls' heats' since he's older and should know better. But the girl likes him as well, or why she looked right in that red dress, since it's generally a seductive color. Then the next part is to his son, how he wishes he could be a better influence to him, teach him right from wrong. The next lines are that they try to break it off so his son isn't being cheated on, but then it turns into him and this girl start lying to his son and his son is falling for it. They have sex in the back of the car, his son finds out, "like you could start a hundred wars." Even with this, he and the girl still have sex every where, normally places his son would find out. And now she's pregnant. Even with all this, he's telling Marlena he feels too young to be a father, even though he is older, meaning that maturity wise he feels like a boy, prone to making mistakes and expecting someone to fix them. |

| Pierce the Veil – Drella Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| From what I've heard, it's more like a relationship that went sour. They were together, they were happy (the sun is always talked about when you're happy) and she's the problem. Like where Vic says, "And now that Cinderella's gone, she swallowed up the sun" that's him saying, she took his happiness with him. Or more like they she was pretending to be happy with him and it didn't work well on her end. I also think that she was involved in self-harm. The 'bracelet' may have actually been a wristband or something to cover the scars on her wrists. Alternatively, the sun may have actually been pills, uppers, if you will. She took a lot, a lot more than she should have and the two of them had a fight that ended badly, or 'Red water leaves us as we collide.' | |
| Manchester Orchestra – Wolves at Night Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This is one of their less metaphorical songs. The first verse refers to the girl he likes or girlfriend with another man or "knee-bent on the bedside." He knows why hence "And I've got a reason, too long, for songs That tells why your legs and arms are actually able," and he's confiding in wolves, or his friends, representing a family that comes together. He's trying to find the girl he fell in love with, "Have you seen my baby girl," and at the same time come up with an excuse, "she's lonely." The next time that they meet, she tries to tell him that their relationship can mend and he's trying but to do that, he's going to have to give up his principles and to do that, all the inane promises he's ever done would have to work out if he's going to get along with her, the bed. He's starting to see it won't work out no matter what she does or says, "A disasters a disaster no matter what Christian language you drag it through." He plans on trying again for a relationship, "And I'll try nothing, try something, try anything," tyring to make it work, telling his friends who are discouraging him, "I swear I did what I could for your rights," but it's not working out. He's found her with the guy again, "you did what you could for my eyes." He keeps trying to get it to work, thinks it's his fault, tries everything that can get them together but they all amount to the same thing: nothing. |

| Placebo – Passive Aggressive Lyrics | 15 years ago |

The songs about being in love with someone that doesn't love you back. 'It's in your reach Concentrate If you deny this Then it's your fault That God's in crisis He's over' He's trying to tell them, "Get over it, I'm here for you now." This person was in love with someone that was their whole world or dedicated to one thing, their God. 'Can you find me space inside your bleeding heart It falls apart It falls apart Falls apart' This part refers to him trying to find a spot in that person's heart and every time he gets close, it doesn't go as he expected, probably to do with the job or person. |
