Marcy Playground – Opium Lyrics 11 years ago
That last line of the lyric is wrong. It is most definitely: "Oh, the season's come for opium."

I can agree with that logic and wouldn't argue that you're right however they managed to squeeze some depth into the song by adding that video. The many ways to interpret art eh?

Rammstein – Sonne Lyrics 14 years ago
Which I think explains the lyrics (instead of vice versa). Snow White is the sun that the dwarfs need to live even though that "sun" is so harsh and cruel to them. Ever seen a relationship where the woman is like Snow White and the man is like the dwarves? Happens all to often nowadays. The term is usually "pussybeggar."

Rammstein – Sonne (English) Lyrics 14 years ago
IMO, this song is about the mistake of living for someone else:

"It is the brightest star of them all"

and the problems it can create:

"The sun is shining out of my hands
it can burn, it can blind you
when it breaks out of the fists
it lays down hotly on your face
it lays down painfully on your chest
balance is lost
it lets you go hard to the floor"

I get this meaning mostly from the Snow White video. BTW - Bucket's lyrics are more correct that those listed.

Dave Matthews – Too High Lyrics 14 years ago
>The song is about a woman (or women in general):

Your bones are brittle inside you
Wrapped so soft, your blood is running,

>And a man's attraction:

I'll be there
If you're moving slowly we still get there
I'll be there
Such a strong desire

Hunger


>And how women abuse this attraction to their own detriment because with time they get old and this power fades:

Oh you need to hope you keep your head, yeah
The slow hand quickens

What you've done with all those around you

> And how men who are burned by women like this come to resent them and have no pity on them when time turns the tables:

But I'll be there
To watch you sulk, returning seething
I'll be there
Minutes hold onto hours
Gets you twisting

> And how those women continue to do this either completely oblivious or just uncaringly:

How'd you leave it with the love you lost
You made them crawl to be without you

> But ultimately, time turns the tables. Women's attractiveness fades and they end up alone and time only makes it worse, nothing will them back to their youth:

Yeah sand is empty in the hourglass
I'll be there
To turn it over and over in your head
So you keep the hope you get your day, yeah

The slow hand quickens, oh
You seem too hard to break, too cold
To burn, afraid your chance is gone
Your wires are crossed, your mouth is lost
You fear you left it far too long
The minutes pass, the hours are gone
So hard to find your way alone


> After using and squandering men's desire, the woman loses her power to the ravages of time and ends up bitter and alone.

Band of Horses – Factory Lyrics 14 years ago
I think the song is about a marriage that has broken up. Frequently, (at least in the USA), men lose access to their homes during divorce. It's as simple as that. The man is your simple working man who is living in a hotel because he got kicked out of his house. He's living just like a guy would in this situation until the divorce is final and he can move on. By the last line, it is apparent that he really doesn't want to go backto that home now that it represents bad memories. Once the divorce is final, he will move on.

Awesome interpretation. I'm 42, been hearing this song (and loving it) my whole life and never really knew what he meant. You just made this song much more enjoyable for me. Thanks!
