The Cardigans – Communication Lyrics 14 years ago
i think it has to deal with a girl who is looking for her person. some men gave her the time, others didn't... but then she found him. or so she thought. he meant a bunch to her, she wanted to show him that they could be more... but he wouldn't commit. so she waited patiently, she loved him the ways she could. he never asked her though, to be in a relationship... so she just made excuses for him, and got to know him, and her feelings for him grew and grew and she finally told him... but he was not connecting with her. although he kept her around, he still would see her, furthering her love for him... but she couldn't tell him - because he did not reciprocate those feelings. so she quietly loved him. and maybe one day she told him (I'm talking, I'm talking and I hold the record for being patient with your kind of hesitations) and maybe he he said he had hesitations about their relationship. she said - hey i like you, (and invitation) i am here, i want you... but he just wouldn't commit... so she was patient for as long as she could, but couldn't wait any longer - maybe for self preservation - and so she had to say goodbye. she had to disconnect.

anyways... that's my little interpretation...

Laura Veirs – Little Descutes Lyrics 14 years ago
i feel like this song is talking about a relationship that she wants to grow, but the man is not allowing it to...

it sure is hard to dance across
the room when you've got
one foot on the floor
and one foot outside the door.

i want nothing more
than to dance with you.

it's as if she is comparing the relationship to a dance, and it's hard to go about it, and them, if he has one foot out the door (meaning, he is leaving, or maybe questioning their relationship and is thinking about leaving).

the peace i've known, floating along,
the deep green river with you and a song
is something like the peace i hope
to make with you my whole life long.

she finds peace in their relationship, she feels at home and comfortable, and it's something she wants to last a whole lifetime. i feel she is fighting for it, but she just wants to dance through life, float through life, with him - but he is not allowing it, and is pushing back...

anywho, that's my lil' opinion. :-) love the song.
