| Mumford & Sons – The Cave Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song, personally, seems to be about how someone is in a cave (definitely some Odyssey reference within the song) and depressed or sorrowful, but once they get through it, they have changed "out of the cave walking on your hands." His conceded tears are also showing that there are worse situations "orphans" out there than his own. "to a post, blocking your ears" means that you are going through a tough spot, and you just zone out everything else in your life. Hope that helped. |

| John Mayer – Free Fallin' (Tom Petty cover) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| He doesn't miss her cause he is lost in his own problems and own insecurities. He calls himself bad because he knows he should miss her cause she is almost perfect, but he just doesn't. And that state of "Free Fallin'" are the points where he doesn't care, and apparently she is included in that realm. Hope that helped? :) | |

This song is so great, it can be interpreted in so many ways as well. His Free Fallin' moments could be drugs, or alcohol or whatever. But to some of us who listen to this and relate, it's probably the state of just not caring, or being so low and sad, you want to fall into it and never leave cause you believe there is no escape. I think the style in which Tom Petty plays this song really doesn't give credit or time to process how great the lyrics are. John Mayer made it great by giving it feel, and meaning in the music. Petty wrote pretty good lyrics, but the only thing that is actually magnificent about this song is that the music by Mayer works better with it. |

| Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen cover) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
The song is about the power of irony. The song is about his sexual feelings and desires (and deep love) for a girl, but yet Leonard Cohen writes it using Biblical metaphors...these two not being compared usually: ironic. My favorite metaphor was the story of Samson. Samson's strength was his hair. When Buckley sings this, he is saying that he was so in love with her, she took away the strength he once had ("cut his hair") before he fell in love with her. Another point of irony is that this girl he loves does not love music ("but you dont really care for music do you?"), yet that is his passion. How could he love someone who shares nothing in common with you? He then tries to explain it to her like ("well it goes like this, the 4th , the 5th, the baffled king composing") because he wants her to understand him. He is baffled because he does not understand why he actually loves her, he just does. "Well I heard there was a secret chord that David played, and it pleased the Lord" is saying that he is small David and she is God, basically meaning she has power over him, and he just wants to find that song or chord that pleases her or changes her mind (which is why he writes the song) This is possibly the best song ever written, hands down :) |
