| Kimbra – 90s Music Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Pretty straightforward in the sense that she is talking about a former relationship/fling and how they used to listen to 90s music. I think the nostalgia she feels parallels, on another level, the nostalgia that is commonplace in much of today's music which pays homage to the music of previous eras, for example in the use of samples. There is an interesting TED talk about sampling in music but that's another story. | |
| Lady GaGa – Judas Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I am constantly amazed at how close this song hits to the ultimate truth. It's so true in a spiritual sense! A lot of spiritual literature says: Our negativity exists because we cling on to it & feed it. We are all holy fools! Our darkness, be it disease or addiction, is there for a reason: to teach us how to trump over it! To become more than we can be. Judas is the personification of all that negativity! The solution is simple: instead of clinging, let go! Acceptance: What freedom! :) | |
| Kimbra – Settle Down Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Such a good song, so many ways to look at it. What is interesting to me is the ironical, sarcastic edge in the whole song while is reflected in the video. The video portrays sweet, orderly, perfect little girls doing typically 'female' things; the music, too, seems sweet and innocent. In contrast, however, the repetitive lyrics sound so possesive and rather dark. "I wanna settle down.. I wanna settle down.. won't you settle down with me?" The lyrics' repetitive nature reflects how little girls are brainwashed to think about marriage, that it doesn't matter who the man really is (symbolized by the mannequin), but what's "important" is to "settle down". What is also interesting is the whole retro feel of the video.. you find that even today females are trapped by this brainwashing. "There's no need to run.. I'll love you well"..simply because "settling down" seems to trump individual wants, needs and journeys. Also questions that arise is can you find fulfillment in such an institution. The adult Kimbra in the video, dressed in black, short, wild hair, symbolizes her true self, bucking the trend, rejecting the conventional female gender role. The two long-haired girls who dance around her are dressed in white and an embodiment of innocence. They dance gracefully while Kimbra does so haphazardly, again in contrast to the stereotypical, graceful female. I think the burning dolls is a pretty obvious message. |

I agree with videoouija and yes.. I also signed up just to comment on this song and want someone to sing this to me!! To me the song conveys reassurance and a sense of committment. The singer recognizes there's a dark side to the girl but isn't going to run away because of it but wants to embrace it, make her feel better. |
