Chairlift – Amanaemonesia Lyrics 8 years ago
Revisiting this now, this song is 100% about an acid trip.

Lana Del Rey – Old Money Lyrics 11 years ago
This song stood out to me on the album. I kind of took the title from being a Great Gatsby reference. It seems to be the only song on the album that really still sounds like Born to Die in a way. It's very sullen. Definitely about an old love she still has desperate love for and will always answer his call.

I really cannot listen to this song without feeling a sickening pain in the pit of my stomach. I think that speaks for how moving this song is.

MGMT – Alien Days Lyrics 12 years ago
Such a fucking brilliant song! Favorite on the album! I agree with all the other comments on here. Alien days are when you see everything for what it is, in a higher mind. To be aware.

MGMT – An Orphan of Fortune Lyrics 12 years ago
This song is about being high off something.

"Morning, afternoon then night
And I can't get down
If I don't feel right Lay by me
And we'll erode
As gently as we can
Into twilight"

Fucking beautiful song.

MGMT – Plenty Of Girls In the Sea Lyrics 12 years ago
Definitely my favorite song on the album. I like where this band is going, I honestly do, but I just wish more songs were like this (with a somewhat distinctive melody) than the pure synth-psychadelic noise and Andrew's muffled vocals hidden in the background. I'd like to hear more of him, the straining high voice and the rusty low notes. It's sexy.

To me, this song is simple: He doesn't care girlfriends right now. He thinks of them as always being there. He wants to be free, but it seems that someone stops him once he is. And when he's free, he wants to tend to what's missing and try not to fill it with a girlfriend.

This song is actually very deep and rings very true. The bartender admits to Andrew that even the best girlfriends weren't really his best. So what's the point to have one right now, when there are so many always around!

MGMT – I Love You Too, Death Lyrics 12 years ago
I picked up on "children walking hand in hand with pygmies in zee park."

There's a band called Chrome from the mid-70's that were experimental' post-punk, psychadelic rock (which MGMT is trying to recreate) that has a song called "Pigmies in Zee Park" off their album "Alien Soundtracks"

Interesting.

MGMT – A Good Sadness Lyrics 12 years ago
This song might be about a girl, or potential lover, actually. The writer (either Andrew or Ben) is being nostalgic about memories he has with another person.

"I can still hear the reflections in the air
Feeding time
Either hemisphere if it's summer there
Seeking you, taking a dive,
Streets realigned
Ooh ooh ooh
Stored in my mind"

This part is about walking through a neighborhood. He is remembering hearing 'reflections in the air' during summer when he'd walk somewhere and find where the other person was swimming. He knows those streets and that neighborhood well though and is envisioning them in his mind, as they are stored there forever.

"All I could do not to steal
All the fun in the world
From your little heart
And now I owe it back to you"

The writer is saying that he tried all he could do to not 'steal all the fun in the world' from this person's heart, but by leaving them or breaking up, he did. And now he feels he owes it back to them.

"But it's hard to catch it and let it go,
Find excuses to burn right through the grief
And to melt, to melt, to melt
Oh my poor memories"

He feels like it's hard to get rid of someone's heart when you've already caught it. You don't want to let that person go. He finds excuses about the relationship to get over being sad about it. He's burning his memories.

"Down to a trace
'Til you forget that I'm alive
And you feel it's all right
Ooh I'm sure you'll be fine
Tune it out and I'm sure you'll be fine"

He feels she will forget about him by burning her own memories with him til she forgets he's even alive. And he knows she'll be fine in the end if she just tunes it out.

"Doing well
Finding an excuse
Shutting down soon (Over my eyes)
Lost the recall"

Again, by forgetting and finding excuses, she will just shut all her memories down soon and lose the ability to recall him.

Memoryhouse – The kids were wrong Lyrics 13 years ago
Go to sleep, nothing's changing
I'll be right here by your side
Great teens, colors fading
In the stillness of the night

You're thick skinned but it seems
You're hiding in day dreams
Can't find our way to the light
And when this routine ends, the nights and weekends
Will see day light through the blinds

Drifting in a cold state
The glowing practical day
Bodies slacked pressed beneath the hour in your eyes
Fingernails and cold skin
Your parents bed you lay in, arms outstretched
The emptiness, the space you left behind

Go to sleep, nothing's changing
I'll be right here by your side
Tear the seems, e're not aging
Between these trembling starlit skies

You're thick skinned but you know
It's beyond our control
Shadows gleaming through our eyes

You're living the past, dear
Be free from those dull years
We'll see daylight through the blinds

Drifting in a cold state
The glowing practical day
Bodies slacked pressed beneath the hour in your eyes
Fingernails and cold skin
Your parents bed you lay in, arms outstretched
The emptiness, the space you left behind

Lana Del Rey – Off to the Races Lyrics 14 years ago
I think this is about how she has an older boyfriend that is rich and doesn't care what she did in the past, he wants her for her looks and she knows it but she's enjoying all of the glitz and glamour that goes along with being with him. Such a great tune.

Foster the People – I Would Do Anything for You Lyrics 14 years ago
~*~THE CORRECT LYRICS~*~

Never wanna stand up for myself
Never wanna get in the way, I said it
I don't know what the plan is but you can share with me
Cause I'll be a listening ear to everything you say
I won't turn away
And I'll listen and open up my heart and I must say
That I love you so

Oh la love, I’ve fallen in love
and it’s better this time than ever before
Oh la love, I’ve fallen in love
and it’s better this time than I've ever known

Every day is a battle I face
Strange life I live but it's what you decided
I give it all into your hands, do what you will with me
And I'll, I smile when you speak
Remember those times I was hoping for something?
And shaking my head from all I had done, but you never left me

Oh la love, I’ve fallen in love
and it’s better this time than ever before
Oh la love, I’ve fallen in love
and it’s better this time than I've ever known

Oh la love, I’ve fallen in love
and it’s better this time than ever before
Oh la love, I’ve fallen in love
and it’s better this time than I've ever known

Give it up for you
I would give it up for you
I'd do anything for you

Oh la love, I’ve fallen in love
and it’s better this time than ever before
Oh la love, I’ve fallen in love
and it’s better this time than I've ever known

Chairlift – Amanaemonesia Lyrics 14 years ago
One of my favorite songs right now (and possibly of all time.) I just wish I could figure out the lyrics. I am really into astrology, so I like the Gemini part. Two of them (the twins) and four of eyes. I don't really get what silver hours are. Cannot wait for an explanation! Amazing job, Chairlift.

Sufjan Stevens – Pleasure Principle Lyrics 14 years ago
This is my favorite Sufjan song. But the lyrics seem so shallow for something he'd usually write.
I understand it's about a one-night-stand type of deal. The girl obviously loves him but he just
wanted pleasure. But at the same time, he feels bad for her and how he made her feel. He didn't mean
to lead her on.

Memoryhouse – Heirloom Lyrics 14 years ago
Between the state where years collide
We can just lie still
Waiting for the day to spill

And watch the lights slowly arrive
Pressed against my eyes
Tracing all the lines

Slowly

Lie on the ground before the lightning strikes
Just don't drown in the flood
Just don't drown in the flood
Just don't drown in the flood


Lie on the ground before the lightning strikes
Just don't drown in the flood
Just don't drown in the flood
Just don't drown in the flood

And we put first between our names
A pack to carry-on
In case this all goes wrong

When we were sleeping through the years
The days all seemed far off
Until the sky swelled up

Slowly

Lie on the ground before the lightning strikes
Just don't drown in the flood
Just don't drown in the flood
Just don't drown in the flood


Lie on the ground before the lightning strikes
Just don't drown in the flood
Just don't drown in the flood
Just don't drown in the flood

Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues Lyrics 14 years ago
I don't really think it has anything to do with extreme political anything. I just think he felt one day, that he isn't really an amazingly special person or anything, but just working towards something he doesn't know what is yet.

But Robin, to me, you are amazing.
