| Nick Drake – Leaving Me Behind Lyrics
| 15 years ago

I find this song to be the most woeful in reflection of Nick Drake's life as a musician. Considering how he was unable to find lasting appeal in his own time from followers of music, the idea of being left behind bears semblance to the way in which Nick and his music had been left behind (disacknowledged) by that of the public and other musicians who adorned greater success at the time he was alive and active as a musician. The world was simply not ready for his music and the things he had to express, with the musical world leaving him behind and carrying on without him. |

| The Monks – I Hate You Lyrics

I'm like to think, judging by the lyrics (along with the backing lyrics, in brackets) that this song's reflecting on the way in which certain women will only respond to a man's interest in them if it's shown through neglect and disregard (the classic 'bad boy' archetype), while at the same time this frustrates the man in question to the point where they hate the girl for being left with no choice but to treat them in such a way (which may not be how they want to treat them) as nothing else seems to spark their attraction. At the same time, the man in question is still infatuated with the girl for this reason. I guess you could sum it up as tainted, dumbstruck love. |
