| Thompson Twins – If You Were Here Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I agree that it's about someone wanting to get out of a relationship because they are interested in someone else. I think it describes Jake and Caroline more than him and Sam. Perhaps John Hughes didn't look into the lyrics because it does sound like a happy song, and with all the vocal effects sounds like he's saying "If you were here, I'd get to see you." At least, that's what I thought he was saying for like TWENTY YEARS. lol I was kind of sad when I read the real lyrics. | |
| Morrissey – In The Future When All's Well Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| There's a part in this song when most of the instruments are quiet, and the melody of the line "in the future when all's well", accompanied by bells, sounds like the part in Ouija Board where he spells out "S-T-E-V-E-N." Could the songs be related? hmm. | |
| Alphaville – Lies Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think this song describes what life is like of a person who is in the public eye, and how it's fake to them. The musician vents his frustration in writing a genuine song but is forced to embellish it in order to make a hit - "telling the truth by making a big lie." People scrutinize everything he does, trying to read into it, even if it doesn't mean anything - "everybody's looking for clues." The show that he refers to is his persona in the public eye of rubbing elbows with the big-wigs, jet-setting, etc. | |
| Siouxsie and the Banshees – The Killing Jar Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| When it first came out, I had heard that it's an anti-abortion song but I don't remember where/who I heard this from. The lyrics are so vague that I suppose it can mean that if you are looking for something deeper than the literal interpretation. | |
| Wolfsheim – Blind Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think this song can be interpreted literally and figuratively. Literally, being physically blind, like some people mentioned already. I think the first verse is definitely referring to being physically blind: like your gently touching fingers just looking for the smile i give to you A blind person uses their fingers to "look" at a person's face. She was looking at his smile. you can feel what no one feels you can hear what no one hears just looking for the smile i give to you The chorus implies that the two people are very close to each other that they can tell what the other person is feeling. It might be some small nuance in expression or voice that others who are not so close do not pick up on. I think the song can be about two people who are in a relationship, or have broken up, or even two best friends. And that person wants what's best for their friend, and for their friend to be happy, so they are always looking for the smile. and your darkness speaks and has eyes to see... This line actually has a lot of meaning to me because I am physically blind in one eye. It's traumatizing, growing up that way. You get self-conscious, you become sympathetic to others with health problems; you pay attention to how people treat each other, and you learn how to treat others with respect at a much earlier age than most. Basically, you "see" things from a different perspective. I used to have my own saying that was similar - "I see more than you do with your two eyes." Darkness can also imply depression. Depression also causes you to see things from a different perspective. "don�t fight the walls... they�re here for all!" When you live in darkness, you become gaurded. You put walls up. I believe that is what she is saying in that line. Don't fight them - you might make them worse, or she may lower them over time, but to me I like to think she keeps everyone at a distance because she doesn't want to drag anyone into the darkness. "hey! darkness is a state of mind! i can go where you would stumble!" She's been in the darkness for so long that it's a comfortable state for her whereas other people might not be able to handle it. |
