Reptar – Sebastian Lyrics 13 years ago
He has an interesting voice. It boarders on annoying at times, but i really like the emotion he puts into it at the end. Its a good sing, but i'm having trouble deciphering it. Its the 'You just dont care' repeating iselt that makes me think it isnt as happy a song as it comes off.

Frightened Rabbit – Not Miserable Lyrics 13 years ago
What I think, is similar to some of the comments, but has a very different spin.

Yes, I believe this is about a failed suicide attempt. Almost drowning all alone in a house nails that angle. However, this song reeks of someone trying to convince himself he is not miserable... when he very clearly IS STILL MISERABLE.

Geez, the background vocals spell it out. "I AM.. IAM.. IAM". I see this as his subconscious telling him the truth. He failed at killing himself, no one knows he tried and is seriously depressed, he fakes being not miserable, no one knows he really is. He wont admit it, but i am... i am.. iam...... miserable.

Touching and powerful song.

Jessie2376 +10000. The obvious, and your telling of it, is exactly what i thought, too. I love this song, so emotional, whatever it means.

Surfer Blood – Swim Lyrics 14 years ago
I def think it is about a breakup, like dcba suggests.

He keeps thinking about her... hence the hairs on the back of his neck tingling as he keeps reliving memories. "Quick hanging over me" = get out of my head!

The "swim to reach the end" is his way of telling himself to get over her, but he also is confused as to what happened and is a little depressed. He tells himself he tried hard to be a good boyfriend (by "not offend"'ing), but things fell apart anyway and he feels betrayed, like he cant trust anyone, "On whom can you depend?"

"Lucid afternoon dream
Cosmopolitan scene.
Look at what's in store for me.
Heads will turn in disbelief."

I think this verse is him getting back out into the bar/dating scene. Who would believe it. :)
