| Aereogramme – Black Path Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Fantastic song - makes me tear up a bit I always thought the line at the beginning was "from green to red", like a battlefield being stained with blood, but on seeing this and listening to the song again, it does sound more like "and". Regardless, this song seems to be about how sometimes as we struggle through life, we end up alienating people by accident - "when everyone becomes afraid of you" - but in the end nothing we do really matters, and life is always going to throw us random curveballs that we can't avoid and just have to swing at the best we can ("see how pathless life can be") |

| Teenage Fanclub – Too Involved Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This may be a topic too mundane for such a great song, but I kind of think this song is about how sometimes when someone asks you how you are, you kind of want to tell them actually what's going on in your life, but then you're like "nah, they don't want to hear all of this", and don't tell them. I guess the last verse, then, is sort of about how you always solve any problems in your life on your own anyway |

| Suede – Saturday Night Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think I'd have to agree with everyone who says this song is a commentary on the emptiness and superficial pleasures of nightlife, and has a darker message than just being a love song or whatever. The depressing music video at least seems to imply this. | |

Although this song is really hard to understand (and totally awesome!), I think I might be able to suggest some edits for these lyrics: Stanza I Fear begin to turn aright [instead of around: it sounds more like what is sung, and also rhymes with "fight" two lines later] Stanza II In your heart someone said [instead of "someone's there"] Stanza III Why doesn't it move you when you're here alone? It's like the message is gotten to us all (or got into our soul/gotten to our soul?) Stanza V Then I don't suppose That you watched your ? spring grow [not sure on this one by any stretch] They would never know. Anyway, that's my attempt. Regardless, if I ever meet Norman Blake, the first thing I'm doing is asking him what the lyrics to this song are. It's too good to remain a mystery! |

| Idlewild – Self Healer Lyrics | 13 years ago |

I was reading Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" recently, and came across a line that went "The song was a beautiful lie". I'm not sure if that was inspiration for this song, but the coincidence blew my mind |

| Idlewild – Actually It's Darkness Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I don't know why, but I've always seen it as a commentary on the hypocrisy of modern society. Both Roddy and whoever he's singing about attempt to cope by rejecting everything through their own methods, but are in reality both "too gullible" although they try to be completely cynical toward everything. As I see it, it's almost as if being cynical toward one thing ends in being too willing to believe the opposite side. In further 21st Century fashion, he sings "we must be scared of something", which kind of reminds me of reactionary politics as we see today. I love Idlewild so much haha |
