Camille Jones – Creeps Lyrics 3 years ago
Odd, I interpreted that it's about a woman's spirit breaking as she finally gives into toxic sexual-harassment environment that hinders her... or can help her if...

Imagine for example an aspiring actress vs Harvey Weinstein. The last lyrics are:

Holding back the key
Fading sanity
Blowing up my head
Reaching for my always loving...

Partner up in crime
Soaking up my mind
Filling up my glass
I'm gone, at last

... which describes her surrender/corruption as she loses her beliefs and moral compass despite knowing that, as she does it, she's not just a victim, she's now complicit and feels damned.

Afro Celt Sound System – Release Lyrics 13 years ago
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro_Celt_Sound_System

"Just as the second album was getting off the ground, one of the group's core musicians, 27-year-old keyboardist Jo Bruce (son of Cream bass player Jack Bruce), died suddenly of an asthma attack. The band was devastated, and the album was put on hold. Then Irish pop star Sinéad O'Connor came to the rescue, collaborating with the band and helping them cope with their loss. "[O'Connor] blew into the studio on a windy November night and blew away again leaving us something incredibly emotional and powerful," McNally told Katz. "We had this track we didn't know what to do with. Sinéad scribbled a few lyrics and bang! She left us completely choked up."[full citation needed] So taken was the band with O'Connor's song, "Release," that they used the name for the title of their album. Volume 2: Release hit the music stores in 1999, and by the spring of 2000 it had sold more than half a million copies worldwide."

Abandoned Pools – Tighter Noose Lyrics 15 years ago
tequila's lyrics are right, I think. I think it's about getting dumped. Translating the lyrics to what it means to me:

The relationship's all done
It's hard to believe
Isn't it?
You said "It's not you it's me"
"I'm not ready"
and ended it.
Had anyone told me
that we were about to break up...
but now it's done.
So... forward.
It's done now.
and I'm left pissing in the wind.

So it's through
and I'm free to say whatever I like, as if it matters.
Hey, at least it ended now...
before anyone got really hurt. (sarcasm)

You're so weak
I was vulnerable and you squashed me
Feel better, now?
I'm not going to try to 'be strong' and play the martyr.
I won't pine for you.
I'm dumping you, too.
I'm going to go away for now,
I'll get my stuff tomorrow.
Today I want to be numb.
All I need is
time to let myself hurt.
While fake friends 'show concern', tasting the pain, entertained by the drama.

So it's through
and I'm free to say whatever I like, as if it matters.
Hey, at least it ended now...
before anyone got really hurt. (sarcasm)

But we both know who you are
and that this won't conquer your demons.

So it's through
and I'm free to say whatever I like, as if it matters.
Hey, at least it ended now...
before anyone got really hurt. (sarcasm)
