The Paper Kites – Halcyon Lyrics 13 years ago
God, this song is so beautiful. I'm not 100% sure why, but I'm going to say that he's saying the sea will take his life along with his lover's, and they'll live on in heaven and...stuff like that. I'm sure there's more behind it, but I only recently found it.

Robin Pecknold – I'm Losing Myself Lyrics 14 years ago
i'm not taking anything away from what you're saying, but i'm just wondering: how would that fit in the song? not meant in any sort of hostile way.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra – Ffunny Ffriends Lyrics 14 years ago
I just heard a live performance, and I take back what I said. The beginning is "Don't be surprised if we". Then from there, I don't know.

Sleep Party People – I'm Not Human At All Lyrics 14 years ago
The meaning of this song is pretty clear by the lyrics, but my God. Such a crushing song.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra – Ffunny Ffriends Lyrics 14 years ago
I'm sure the song is basically about what CrabSandWich said, but for the verse after the first chorus that says "Blue is the day if we black this night", I'm almost positive it's:
"Who gives a damn if we
Throw the dice
Well, love is much more
Than good and bad".

I also think the beginning says "Tell me if it's right if we tried it halfway". Except tried it halfway doesn't sound right at all. Awesome band, though.(:

Alex Winston – Locomotive Lyrics 14 years ago
i don't know if these are the correct lyrics, but they're not here anymore, so i'll just put what i think it is:

i wish i cared about the things you care about, but i don't
your scrill and the bars and the lakes and the stars, but i don't

hey we may, hey we may,
you know my name, you know my name
hey we may, hey we may
i know your name

i wish i cared about the things you cared about but i don't
your locomotive, keep going keep going no focus
locomotive slow down, slow down

now come on call me sugar, call her honey, call me darling
but i leave it at the door cause nobody saying nothing

hey we may, hey we may
you know my name, you know my name
hey we may, hey we may
i know your name
i wish i cared about the things you care about but i don't

your locomotive, keep going keep going no focus
locomotive slow down, slow down
look down on what you started
look down on what you started
look down on what you started
look down

locomotive, keep going keep going don't focus
locomotive slow down, slow down
look down on what you started
look down on what you started
look down on what you started
look down

now look down on what you started
keep goin' keep goin keep goin'
now look down on what you started
keep goin' keep goin' slow down

Alex Winston – Velvet Elvis Lyrics 14 years ago
it's a lyric website. post the frickin lyrics. here you go, people:

ma said, i ain't right
clutching on you all night
but you're my, you're my guy, elvis

slice my starry eye
light his coat in turpentine
kill the bitch that bats an eye, elvis

when i feel your velvet, i can't help it
hold your frame, whisper your name
when i feel your velvet, i can't help it
and you don't breathe, so you can't leave

and they're comin'
they're comin'
they're comin'
whoa no

(touch) shackled arms are tight, cause' papa said i cross the line
carve us in our special time, elvis
now it's five by five
finger paint and circle time
i love you till the day i die, elvis

when i feel your velvet, i can't help it
hold your frame, whisper your name
when i feel your velvet, i can't help it
and you don't breathe, so you can't leave

and they're comin'
they're comin'
they're comin'
whoa no

when i feel your velvet, i can't help it
hold you by the frame, whisper your name
when i feel your velvet, i can't help it
and you don't breathe, so you can't leave me

they're comin'
they're comin'
they're comin'
whoa no

and they're comin' (when i feel your velvet, i can't help it)
they're comin'
they're comin'
whoa no

and they're comin' (when i feel your velvet, i can't help it)
they're comin'
they're comin'
whoa no

SoKo – I'll Kill Her Lyrics 14 years ago
i think it's that she is imagining what could have happened if he had called her back, up to a point, but she's saying that he didn't, so she's bitter, and she's saying that she's pissed at the blond girl, that she'll kill her, that she's dumb, etc.

or it could just be the fact that she's trying to show how most girls act when they get dumped for someone else. that's what i get.

Dum Dum Girls – Coming Down Lyrics 14 years ago
i don't really know what this song means, but i have an image of people i know when i hear the lyrics. it reminds me of people i know who party all the time and drink or do drugs. in this song, though, i feel like it leans more towards alcohol.

when she says "coming down" it reminds me of coming down off of drugs or alcohol. if she was an alcoholic, she would definitely have the "i take as much as i can get, i don't take any regret" mentality. when she says "i close my eyes to conjure up something", i see it as vomiting from having too much to drink. when she says "by tomorrow i'll be leaving, by tomorrow i'll be gone/ if you want to tell me something, you had better make it strong" reminds me of someone who goes out drinking or partying, and doesn't have much care for anything else. when she says "you had better make it strong", i thought about a strong drink right away. she says "you abuse the ones who love you, you abuse the ones who won't" and i think of people who abuse substances as hurting everyone since they only care about getting what they want. i'm not sure about the "if you ever had a real heart, i don't think you'd know where to start" bit.

i don't know if i'm taking the song too literally, but that's my opinion on it for now.

Blitzen Trapper – Dragon's Song Lyrics 14 years ago
i love this song. no idea what it means, but somehow i don't think the
"Hands raised high through the gathering haze
Let the sun burn through to the ancient debates
You are half my heart set apart till the end of the age" bit is correct. i'm not sure what else it could be so that it could make sense.

Noah and the Whale – 5 Years Time Lyrics 14 years ago
first of all, i think linaem is correct in the terms of song interpretation. i also think that, along with the fact that this may be a friend who they love, i think that they aren't even really friends, because he says that they'll be laughing in five years about how they used to smoke cigarettes and drink wine because that's what they needed to have a good time. i'm pretty sure a real friend would be able to get along with someone without drinking and smoking.

second, the lyrics are basically right, but are a little off. this is how i think they sound, at least.

"oh, well, in five years time we could be walking round a zoo
with the sun shining down over me and you
and there'll be love in the bodies of the elephants too
and i'll put my hand over your eyes, but you'll peek through

and there'll be sun sun sun
all over our bodies
and sun sun sun
all down our necks
and sun sun sun
all over our faces
oh, and sun sun sun
so what the heck

cause i'll be laughing at all your silly little jokes
and we'll be laughing about how we used to smoke
all those stupid little cigarettes
and drink stupid wine
cause it's what we needed to have a good time

but it was fun fun fun
when we were drinking
it was fun fun fun
when we were drunk
and it was fun fun fun
when we were laughing
it was fun fun fun
oh, it was fun

oh, well, i'll look at you and say
it's the happiest that i've ever been
and i'll say "i no longer feel i have to be james dean"
and she'll say
"yeah well i feel, oh, pretty happy too
and i'm always pretty happy when i'm just kicking back with you"

and it'd be
love love love
all through our bodies
and love love love
all through our minds
and it'll be love love love
all over her face
and love love love
all over mine

and though, and really all these moments are just in my head
i'll be thinking 'bout them as i'm lying in bed
and i know that it really it might not even come true
but in my mind i'm havin' a pretty good time with you

oh, in 5 years time
i might not know you
in 5 years time
we might not speak
oh, in 5 years time
we might not get along
in 5 years time
you might just prove me wrong

but there'll be love love love
wherever you go
there'll be love love love
wherever you go
there'll be love love love
wherever you go
there'll be love love love
wherever you go
there'll be love love love
wherever you go
there'll be love love love
wherever you go
there'll be love love love

wherever you go there'll be love"

Devotchka – 100 Other Lovers Lyrics 14 years ago
wow, i'm surprised that i'm the first to say something about this song.

"I will admit I am embarrassed by your grace
And the complete look of boredom upon your face
You want to be a million miles from this place
You want to get on with my untimely disgrace."
the guy, let's call him rico, is with someone who doesn't really hide the fact that they aren't really entertained. it makes him feel terrible, naturally.

"I am alone I am in love with an idea
Sophisticated Neurological appeals
I want to negotiate some kind of a deal
I want to tear it open show you that it's real"
he feels alone, even though he's with that person (in a relationship, i guess). he has an ideal picture of love, but the person he's with doesn't want to share the same thing with him, for whatever reason.

"Oh the things I will believe
Ignore the hundred lovers
You got hidden up your sleeve.
The words come easily
And they sound so lovely
I guess it's just as easy if you lie to me."
rico likes this person, even though he knows they aren't faithful and just says whatever rico wants to hear.

"Everybody they got all kinds of advice
They want to tell you just how you should live your life.
But who exactly am I supposed to believe?
Am I supposed to let you walk away from me?"
everyone is giving rico advice about what he should do about that person he cares for. it's not easy for him to choose who is right, most especially because he doesn't want to let go.

"I know it's coming
I can feel it in my bones
This is information you already know
Even if it's only temporarily
Give the illusion tonight you belong to me"
he knows that it isn't going to work out and they're going to leave sometime or another, but he's kind of in denial. he feels, at least in this part, that ignorance is bliss, and he wants to hang onto what he has even for a little bit.

that's just my take on it. it's kind of funny how much it applies to my life right now.

Cold War Kids – Louder Than Ever Lyrics 14 years ago
"i was countin' my sheep" may not be right, but it at least sounds more correct than "i was carrying my cheek". it sounds kinda like "i was countin' my cheap", but it's probably not right. the second line also doesn't sound right. it sounds kinda like "the sun made stripes of shade". i know for sure, though, that the words in one part are:

"It's a slippery slope
Like that mouse trap game
Inside my tunnel vision
You stepped on my train"

Ray LaMontagne – I Still Care For You Lyrics 15 years ago
i'm not sure if this matters much, but i find it somewhat significant that he says "hear me out" a couple times. maybe there's a communication issue, or he doesn't normally speak his mind in this relationship (whoever this is pointed towards, anyways)?
