And yeah ... heartaches as hard (tough) as diamond cutters. THAT IS, if the verse is really "diamond cutter shaped heartaches", and not "time traveling diamond / could've shaped heartaches" |

The word "Diamond" shouldn't be separated from the word "cutter". It'd be better if the verse was like this: "Diamond cutter shaped heartaches" Especially because "Diamond cutter" might refer to wrestler Diamond Dallas' creation, the Diamond Cutter blow. Check for videos on youtube. 'Diamond cutter shaped heartaches' would probably mean, then, heartaches as painful as a "Diamond cutter" blow. |

| Feist – Caught a Long Wind Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Little bird, have you got a key Unlock the lock, inside of me. Someone who is locked inside is unable to live for fearing that the life is too dangerous or not fair. Where will you go, keep yourself a float, Feeling old, until the wings unfolded Caught me a long wind Where will we go? Keep ourselves afloat Birds are always related to freedom, detachment. According to this, we might think that the 'character' in the song is someone who aims to be free and needs a model to compare oneself to and to follow the same steps. Then, nothing better than a bird, which keeps itself always afloat, that is, always ready to thread other paths (to fly through new winds). The sense of being old is for being locked to life. As soon as the person feels the need to live life fully, it is as if one spread the wings to a flight (to life). Caught a long wind A long life wind Here the metaphor is pretty clear (at least to what I think and what I said before). I got to know the sky But it didn't know me Once, the “character” was locked to life and feeling old. Now it wants to know better about living, about the world (sky), which didn’t the character exactly because it didn’t show itself to the world. Got to see the light And land on top of the sea And be the bird, be the key And now the current tells What the wave withheld And then the lightning say Where the light will lay Nothing much to say about this, except that now, as the person (character) has discovered how great life can be, he/she feels like taking advantage as much as possible of it. Where will you go? Keep yourself afloat. Caught a long wind A long life wind Like a swallow A night owl A little chickadee Sad sparrow Good morning bird Good nightingale Now some poetical elements, comparing the birds of different species that live differently. But it’s nice to notice the word play in “good morning bird” and “good nightingale” — the “night” of “nightingale” serving as a greeting of farewell as well as it makes part of the bird species name. I took a deep breath And caught a long wind It takes courage and a deep breath to really start living a life when you’re aware of it. |

| Placebo – Commercial For Levi Lyrics | 15 years ago |

"cherry wine" can be a reference to the blood that comes due to the loss of virginity. The insertion of the expression in the lyrics might tell us that Levi's fascinated for the sexual innocence of the youth. Regarding Saint Francis of Assissi - as someone mentioned before, he was very close (friends) to animals. Thus the 'bestiality' reference, maybe. |
