Margot & the Nuclear So and So's – Jen Is Bringin' the Drugs Lyrics 14 years ago
i think that jen is the singer's friend/acquaintance whatever. i don't think they had a relationship beyond that.

jen is a girl who used to be like everyone else. but after having to face some depressing realities involving someone she was in love with (and dumped by), drugs sort of got in her mind and now she thinks that they're keeping her sane.

but the singer, he wasn't the one who was dumped. he brought a girl into his life and then pushed her out of it. after his break up with her, he realizes that he was a lot more alone than he ever felt and the friends he seemed to have lost might not come back.

jen doesn't want people to see what she's going through, so she plays her life up as being one of the beautiful popular girls who is always fucked up at parties. she thinks that this will hide her insecurities because she thinks its better for people to think shes just stupid rather than broken.

the artist is sort of falling into the same depression that jen is in. he just wants to be separated from humanity because he realizes his mistakes and just hates everything so much more than he did. he doesn't want to have to face the person he broke up with, he wants to leave.

love sort of tore jen and the singer apart from what they used to be. they hate it and all parts of it and now they just want to get real fucked up.

Taking Back Sunday – Sink Into Me Lyrics 15 years ago
"I'd like to be a note
The kind you could sing
But don't because you're shy
That way I'll live inside your throat
And hang from every word you spoke"

I think this part is saying that he wishes he could make her happy (sexually), and that she won't sing that note (moan) because she's shy (self explanatory). Like, the song is obviously about how he wants this girl to love him, right? He wants her to sink into him and be able to love him. He want's to be on her mind and for him to be her everything. I think that last part is just a cruder part of the song, but honestly it's my favorite. Especially in the movie the sort of hopeless-lover look he has on his face just makes it great.

I love this song.

3OH!3 – Don't Trust Me Lyrics 15 years ago
i think "bruises, cover your arms" isn't so much about mosh pits.. because i go to hardcore and metal shows a lot, and i have only seen a girl in a pit once.

i think it's talking about like, shooting up heroin, because after long-term intravenous use your blood vessels can deteriorate and it'll look like big bruises all over your arms.

and heroin is glamorized but the music scene, so that's how i interpreted it.

Halifax – Nightmare Lyrics 15 years ago
i think this song is more about suicide.

like, recently one of my friends was contemplating suicide, seriously. and i had to remind him of all of the people that loved him and how terrible it'd be if he was gone. then i heard this song, and thats just what it reminded me of.

"It's second nature for you
But its the first to make you my last one
The last one in my life
The first to make you cry
So lets drink this bottle to the very last drop
Tell me what you find at the bottom
Don't say you forgot what I need
Cause all I need is you"

^ this first part is talking about how she's been in love a bunch of times (no big deal)
but this is the first time she'll be someone's last love.
the last person in his life, and he'll be the first person to actually make her cry (not just over some random breakup, but over death)
so lets get drunk (probably get high and just be reckless in general)
and see what happens (maybe he'll die)
and all that's keeping him from directly killing himself is her.

"Tonight, tonight I send out apologies
The type that's cut off right over the edge
And if I try to say your name I'll just bite my tongue
It's your nightmare make sure to handle it well
Turn up your evil turn down your care"

^ he's going to apologize to all of the people who he knows he's going to hurt.
the short kind that just say "im sorry," because
if he tries to go deeper into it, he'll feel to guilty and say nothing
this is her nightmare (he knows its going to hurt her) and she needs to be mature about it (dont be reckless or kill yourself either)
and then he says to turn up her evil (give him hell, he deserves it for doing this to her) and turn down her care (stop loving me)

"I point this troubled ambulance
The passenger is nowhere to be found I escaped
What will they think of me?
What will they think of me?
When I lock my body in the trunk of your car
With all the pressure to the gas
Turn the Autopilot on
Let's see if we can fly tonight"

^ he doesn't want help.
like, people have tried to talk him out of it and he doesn't want to hear it. it makes him feel worse.
he wonders how people will remember him, and if theyll hate him for killing himself.
he doesnt want to actually kill himself (by making himself helpless in the back of her car) because he knows itd be wrong of him, but he just really really wants to die.
so he's going to stop caring, just run on autopilot and hope he dies.


"If I'm the cure
She's the disease
Do what you will
Just know what this means
If I'm the cure
She's the disease
Do what you will
Just know what this means"

^ if he is what makes her happy,
then she is sick. (he doesnt get why she loves him so much)
so keep telling him that she loves him
as long as she knows that it makes him hate himself more.



i know a lot of people who think about suicide have these exact same thoughts. ive had them, my friend who i mentioned earlier has had them, and im sure you have at some point too. thats why i love halifax, and this song, because its about something real.
