Florence + the Machine – Dog Days Are Over Lyrics 14 years ago
To me this song is about hiding from happiness by remaining in a bad relationship...

"Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink"

- She killed any happiness by staying in denial because she loves the person she's with, took to drinking to deal with the pain of the relationship.

"Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
Because here they come"

- The running I think indicates running from the relationship for the sake of yourself and your family. The "leave all your love and your longing behind" line I think means leaving any love you had for your spouse, because you won't be able to get out if you hold on to that feeling. (Been there, so I'm pretty sure that's what she's talking about.) And the dog days are over line I think means that she's finally free of the shit relationship.


"And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh"

- And this line I'm pretty sure is about how controlling the spouse was.


Just my take on it. :)

Glassjaw – Jesus Glue Lyrics 15 years ago
It makes you mad...
With your head in a bad, dear god you look so fucking sad
Embrace the reborn
Your belligerent die amoung your rabid core
Ignorant, they will play
They will indoctrinate the fetus in your name
They're scared to death of your game
A modern divide with your leap of faith

I need to, I need to
I need to own you
To know I want you
I need to offer
You another
Jealous lover

I'm glad they'll be saved
While I sink where I stand
Their faith shall be restored
In a valley of fire in his Daddy's war
Your cries that won't make
Me hold salvation for the fetus in your name

I need to, I need to
I need to own you
To know I want you
I need to offer
You another
Jealous lover

I hope the heads of all your children are used for the pleasures of pegan gods

I need to, I need to
I need to own you
To know I want you
I need to offer
You another
Jealous lover

It makes you look bad
With your head in a bag, oh dear god you look so fucking sad

I hope the heads of all your children are used for the pleasures of pegan gods
