Lily Allen – Back to the Start Lyrics 12 years ago
Sorry that not everything is about a guy. /sarcasm

I mean, this song is so obvious it's about a sibling, even the first verse is :

When we were growing up you always looked like you were having such fun
You always were and you always will be the taller and the prettier one
People seem to love you
They gravitate towards you
That's why I started to hate you so much
And I just completely ignored you


Not everything always has to be about a relationship with a man.

Björk – Possibly Maybe Lyrics 14 years ago
I think lyrics like this have the wonderful ability to be interpreted as something completely different by just about anyone who happens to stumble across them.

I don't think it's wrong to have a different interpretation, honestly that makes it more interesting. If things were so black and white, and this song was purely about sex, it would seem rather dull to me.

However, this song is everything but dull. It's melancholy, and angry, and happy, and maybe a bit passive aggressive. I like that. It found away to carry meaning into my life, and that's the type of lyrics I like best.

For me, in my own experiences, I happen to interpret her lyrics as her describing the difficulties of a relationship where nothing ever stays the same:

Your flirt finds me out
Teases the crack in me
Smittens me with hope
(For me, these lyrics seem to signify how the person is breaking down her walls, the barriers that keep her from truly falling for him. "Smittens me with hope" kind of pulls me in here, as she is describing how she can finally hope for this relationship as one that will last.)

Possibly maybe probably love (Once again, being coy and perhaps discovering her own feelings as something that is "possibly maybe" growing into love)

As much as I definitely enjoy solitude
I wouldn't mind perhaps
Spending little time with you
Sometimes
Sometimes
(The principle character of this story is a woman that clearly has her walls up, she doesn't let people in easily, but as much as she enjoys being a loner, she is willing to let him inside her world)

Uncertainty excites me
Baby
Who knows what's going to happen?
Lottery or car crash
Or you'll join a cult
(Now it's sort of becoming a bit passive aggressive in terms of how the relationship is going. She can't clearly tell his feelings, and the uncertainty feels like she might either get to experience true, unadulterated love or the blowing crush of a break up.)

Mon petit vulcan
You're eruptions and disasters
I keep calm
Admiring the lava
I keep calm
(My little volcano, a term of endearment for her hot-tempered lover. He seems to be swaying from extreme passion to perhaps even abuse, yet her feelings remain calm and her love is still unshaken. This could also be interpreted as her dealing with someone who is too confused to settle down with her completely, yet she is willing to persevere and keep to her original convictions.)

Electric shocks?
I love them!
With you dozen a day
But after a while I wonder
Where's that love you promised me?
(This is where I begin to see the sexual aspects of the song in its entirety, perhaps without any restraint on the part of Bjork to showcase it. However, I can still interpret them as the heroine struggling to come to terms with her lover's almost bipolar tendencies in the relationship. Where he had promised all of this love, but all she gets is the feeling of uncertainty. Electric shocks seem like it would be surprising, haha.)

How can you offer me love like that?
My heart's burned
How can you offer mer love like that?
I'm exhaused
Leave me alone
(I think I've explained this well enough. She feels burned by his indecision to promise her love, yet never come through with his promise. She's exhausted by this cycle.)

Since we broke up
I'm using lipstick again
I'll suck my tongue
As a remembrance of you...
(After the bad relationship, she still finds it in her heart to continue to treasure what he gave her, albeit, it was shaky most of the time. A good person never holds grudges.)

Tyler, the Creator – Sarah Lyrics 14 years ago
I love this song. It might be my favorite of is, other than She. Tyler has a penchant for rape and murder of those who refuse him. xD

Faunts – I Think I'll Start a Fire Lyrics 14 years ago
I think the lyrics should be:

He's got a bad hunt station
he keeps it to the side
he had an early conversation
this wouldn't be anything to hide

he waved, we haven't seen you for a long, long while
and truly, used to worry about yourself
the high tide, we haven't used as sharply on the line (?)
I tried but when we lose the fight to stay
it's fine I will be back in no time
I will speak to you, I think we'll start a fire

I think we'll start a fire
I think we'll start a fire

fire from someone who knows, leave it to me to lead slowly
and before I let you fall asleep tonight, sit beside me right beside me
but red lines, we haven't seen you for a long, long while
it's taking so long to see
the headlights, I haven't been here for a long, long while

I think I'll start a fire
and keep it to the side
when the conversation starts to tire
there shouldn't be a thing to hide

Devendra Banhart – Foolin' Lyrics 15 years ago
All these stories of creation
Came from the same flame of the most high

This makes so much sense after I watched that documentary on an ancient civilization that took this hallucinogenic drug and thought they were seeing something like the afterlife with all its holy attributes.
Damn religion. I knew its foundation had to have come from someone getting very, very high.

(Jk, don't get mad. :P)
