| Amos Lee – Windows Are Rolled Down Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| i feel like this is someone looking back on a past relationship and it looks like it might not have ended well. whoever the person is in this song is rediscovering their past--maybe it their old town where they grew up. who ever it is is reminiscing of how things used to be. they're realizing the past is the past but seems to still have trouble getting over his lost love. they're "locked up in this fantasy" because they're not letting life roll forward. though this is sort of a sullen song, rolling the windows down seems to be a form of hope, a new beginning that's on the rise. | |
| Loudon Wainwright III – Swimming Song Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
this might be a stretch but i think it might be about a relationship. This summer I went swimming, This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath and I kicked my feet And I moved my arms around, I moved my arms around. it may have been a first love, but the speaker is talking about how he was all into the relationship at first, and ultimately could have drowned with how deep he got into it. though, he held his breath and kicked, moved about and stayed afloat. This summer I swam in the ocean, And I swam in a swimming pool, Salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes, I'm a self-destructive fool, a self-destructive fool. he had different experiences (ie., strokes), different places to wade, etc. while these lyrics are very simple and convey the physical meaning, i think salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes could also mean some sadness in that summer relationship. i'm a self-destructive fool, well, we've all been there. |
