| Karate High School – Sometimes When You Lose You Win Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Just think about the LGBT rights movement (or any kind of civil rights movement for that matter) while listening to the lyrics of this song. It becomes so awesome. | |
| Gold Motel – Fireworks After Midnight Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Greta said in an interview that this song is about saying goodbye to somebody that you know you will not see for a very long time. Judging by the lyrics this person is, more specifically, a lover. This is somewhat stereotypical of a high school to college breakup. | |
| The Hush Sound – Magnolia Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Here's my take on some parts of the song. Eyes like sea glass, so weathered and worn From all they've seen of adolescence torn (yanked away from her adolescence) The lovers who have tainted you (lots of boys) They pulled you into the night (she fell for them when she shouldn't have) They touched your skin with velvet gloves (very sexual) And made you feel alive (she loved it) I think theres a lot of sexual innuendo in here. I think losing her adolescence is what "weathered and wore" here eyes out (i.e. bad reputation). I think this is saying that she enjoyed it but she still knew it was bad for her. hey touched your skin with velvet gloves. And made you feel alive. But then she had to run where she'll be safe, which I do not believe is heaven unlike a lot of the other people's comments. I think the shelter of magnolias is the place that this girl feels safe. It's something we are all supposed to be able to relate to. You were weathered and worn Your petals soft and torn The fading color You have bent your shoulders (after being in a state of weakness) To hold the weight of the world You will surely shatter (how could anybody survive the world after what she has been through) Something terrible clearly happened to her. |

| The Hush Sound – That's Okay Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Here's my take on the song... The singer is singing to a most likely ex-lover as if he/she was an emotionally hurt child. You want to go back To where you felt safe To hear your brother's laughter See your mother's face Your childhood home Is just powder-white bones And you'll never find your way back The singer is singing about this person's deep insecurities about themselves and how they wish that they could be a child again to "where you felt safe" The questions: And when you're gone Will they say your name? And when you're gone Will they love you the same? all show the fears/insecurities of the person The "It's okay." is reassuring the person that even if everything goes completely wrong, he/she can still move on with their life |

| The Hush Sound – Lighthouse Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I think some people read into this song way too much. The Hush Sound (THS) has admitted to not really having a clue what they meant by a lot of the songs in Like Vines and So Sudden. They said (and I am paraphrasing) that most of those songs lacked life experiences and were mostly just little whimsical stories. It's what makes most of THS's songs so open to interpretation. There just isn't that much they explicitly mean with their lyrics. Lighthouse is beautiful because it is a love ballad that is both lovely and haunting. It's just a quirky little romantic story (also quite creepy) that can mean whatever you want it to mean. |

| The Hush Sound – Honey Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song is about how the narrator is stuck in a bad relationship but she still wants the guy. She knows that the relationship is bad for her but she still cannot resist him. He was her first real relationship and it sounds like they have hit a rough patch or there is some type of issue and the narrator is deciding weather or not to continue in that relationship or move on with her life. (I think this is Greta singing about Bob because he is about 3 years older than her and went out in high school,... so I have heard) |

Ok the verses to the song are definitely about adam and eve (as much as I would like to think they are not at all christian rock... they are a little). The chorus however, I don't get much sense of religion in that. Greta is a very environmentally friendly person. Wine red ocean??? dumping waste and disgusting crap in there is the death of beauty. She is telling us that treating our planet so badly is making the death of beauty. I think Adam and Eve are involved in the song because they lived in a perfect, beautiful garden where nothing could be ugly (I think. I grew up religionless so I am not at all an expert on Adam and Eve). They destroyed their perfect world by eating the apple (Why god loves apples and won't share I have no idea) and now we are destroying our world with pollution. The song parallels Adam and Eve leaving the garden of eden to pollution, global warming, etc. |
