| Tori Amos – Marianne Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I saw her play at the Santa Barbara Bowl and before she sang this song she told a story about Marianne, a childhood friend, who killed herself. And it was her mother who called to tell her the news and she did say "Fuck you" to her mom. I don't remember much more about what she said. I think she gave more detail than that. | |
| Mazzy Star – Into Dust Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I always felt like it was about losing yourself in a relationship. When you change and conform to make someone else happy...which never works. And you get to this place where all of a sudden you don't even recognize yourself anymore. Or each other. | |
| Beth Orton – Ali's Waltz Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| yes...that's why love the line "But I had heard that love is a verb". you can say it but if one's actions are telling you otherwise... i completely understood what he was going through but you come to a point where you have to make a decision whether or not you're going to let someone pull you down into their mess with them. i tried to pull him out of his misery but people will only change when they're ready. you're right...it wasn't meant to be. but it's a hard thing to accept when you love someone so much. i still do and always will. thank you for the response. :) | |

| Tori Amos – Caught A Lite Sneeze Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
i don't know so much about the whole trent rexnor ting but... @__spritz_spritz ... she does use a harpsichord a lot in her music. i don't usually write on this site to express my interpretation of what the artist is "thinking" but more of what the meanings mean to me...because how could you ever really know what they are really thinking. although, i must admit, i am always curious. but lyrics mean so many different things to everyone depending on who they are and what is going on at the moment in their lives when they connect with a certain song. this song is kind of a blast from the past for me but i always thought of it in this way... "caught a lite sneeze"...it''s kind of a tongue in cheek way of saying there was a guy in your life who no longer is and describing it as something you brush off as a little bump in the road...when of course it's so much more than that. and "i need a big loan from the girl zone"...this clearly represents to me those times when when break up with someone or someone hurts you and you need you girlfriends so badly to hold you up. there are so many lyrics in this song i can't even begin to attempt to interpret but i do think her religious references are somewhat sarcastic...maybe that's not the right work...but her upbringing was so religious and so much of the abuse she endured was tied into it so i think her references represent a love/hate very bitter sweet relationship. would love to hear comments to my thoughts.. :) |

this is the beth orton song that means more to me than any other of hers. i listened to this song over and over as my last relationship was ending. i think some of the lyrics above are a little off so below i've changed them to read how i hear them. Right now It feels like forever can't wait Right now It looks like tomorrow's too late To meet those expectations Ones that have never unknown ...for me this means when you've tried so hard to make things work, and you've both had so much hope, and you get to the point where it almost doesn't matter if everything magically is fixed. there's already been too much damage. it's irreparable. Right now It's hard not to fall out of place You make me wrong Have I fallen from grace What you do for yourself You expect for someone else ...when i made the decision to end my last relationship it was the most difficult decision i had ever made in my life. but i knew it had to be done. to save myself. it took so much strength to not falter and fall back into it because i loved him so much. but i would have doubts that i was making the wrong decision and that i was throwing away the one person i was meant to be with. and the last two lines, what they mean to me is that i just wished he respected and loved himself the way i respected and loved my self. but he didn't. But I had heard that love is a verb ...this is so clear to me. we told each other we loved each other constantly, all day, every day. but his actions spoke otherwise. Right now I seem quite cold hearted But I did my grieving Before we parted The ground where we lay And hoped in my heart you could stay ...when i told him to leave he actually asked me, "how can you be so cold?". but it had been building for a while. i knew it was over before it officially was. and i came to terms with it (somewhat) by the end. i did give him an ultimatum. to stop drinking or leave. and i wanted more than anything for him to choose me. but he didn't. Right now It's hard not to fall out of place If I'm wrong Have i fallen from grace What I do to myself I expect of someone else ...again, i doubted and second guessed myself so much. was i throwing away the best thing that ever happened to me? i needed to be with someone who had at least some semblance of the respect i had for myself, for their own self. But I had heard that love is a verb Right now It feels like tomorrow can't wait Right now It looks like forever's too late To meet our expectations Ones that were never unknown ...we always talked about what we wanted and what we hoped for. and we couldn't make it happen. and by the time we figured out how much we had screwed up, it was too late. |

words can not explain what cat power/chan marshall means to me. this is my absolute favorite song of hers. it was always the song i associated with my ex-boyfriend...from the very beginning....until the end...and still. Oh I do believe In all the things you've seen What comes is better than what came before ...he was so damaged from his childhood and i always wanted him to know that i heard everything he told me. and that things could be better than what he had always known as reality. And you'd better come come, come come to me Better come come, come come to me Better run, run run, run run to me Better come ...and i could take him in my arms and make it all go away. if he could just trust that i could. Oh I do believe In all the things you see What comes is better that what came before ...and i understand what he still goes through on a daily basis And you'd better run run, run run to me Better run, run run, run run to me Better come, come come, come come to me You'd better run ...and again, i could make it better. if he would just let me love him enough. and he couldn't. |
