Kings of Leon – Milk Lyrics 13 years ago
Wow you're dumb. Let's start with the fact that it's "she has problems with....being school tardy" In other words, she's always on time!!!! The point is simply to draw attention to the fact that she is in school. You're sorta close, in that this song is about an old dude's relationship with a school girl. But it is not abuse. I'll explain it a bit here;

"We drank wine in the matinee, and the spotlight showed what it chased away" -- Chances are, the spotlight is showing some sort of romance, however that is chased away simply by the fact that they are drinking wine in the matinee. This is an activity that is not likely appealing to a young girl (especially one that would rather be bartending your party, hint hint, watch for the patterns)

"She saw my combover, her hourglass body" -- basically she starts to see how old he is.... he's got a combover, she's still got that teenage hourglass body.

"She has problems with drinking milk and being school tardy" -- I like sabrinaKOL's comment that it could be about giving head, I had never thought of that before, but I don't think that's it. This line is contrasting, again, the old and the young. Old people notoriously drink milk, to promote bone health and whatnot (it's an exaggeration) and again, something unappealing to a young girl, who is worried about being late for school....... she's still in school!!

"She'll loan you her toothbrush, she'll bartend your party" -- just accentuating the wild teenage personality of this girl, and further emphasizing the fact that she is not interested in mundane, grownup activities such as drinking wine in the matinee, and drinking milk.

"I called and I called, but I can't get through. Said he's on his own, but his own is you" -- this is when the fallout it finally shown light. He's trying to get ahold of her, but some other dude's picking up. Brilliant really, 'cause this guy's saying he's on his own, but if his own is this girl, then really he's on her... so the singer is finally realizing that she's no longer interested, she's found some young guy to float her boat.

I really shouldn't have needed to explain this in so much depth, but I hope it makes some sense to you now.

Kings of Leon – True Love Way Lyrics 13 years ago
Why are the lyrics ALWAYS WRONG on songmeanings.net And they're not just a little bit wrong, it's like every other line is wrong, and the song is so distorted it doesn't even make sense. I have yet to read a lyric on this site that is 100% correct, not even 80% correct... the best you can hope for is maybe 75% correct lyrics.... I just don't understand....

Red Hot Chili Peppers – She Looks to Me Lyrics 14 years ago
It sounds to me kind of like an introduction of sorts, in other words; the background of the girl in this song. But you also need to look at the next two lines to understand. I'll explain

It looks to me like heaven sent
No lullaby, kid, no 5% (There were no lullabies growing up, another way to look at it is there was no one there for her, no one caring for her as a child... the 5% part is what confuses me.)
Any way you wanna cut that cake
she's dying from the likes of abandonment (Basically, she's hurting because there was never anyone to look out for her, she dying from abandonment.)

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Desecration Smile Lyrics 14 years ago
It goes:
All alone, not by myself
Another girl bad for my health.

It kinda goes on that idea that just because you're around any number of people, it doesn't mean that you're not alone. In this case, he's got a girl who he either shouldn't be with for whatever reason, or he isn't happy being with. So even though he's with her, he still feels alone, and perhaps empty, and this is bad for him due to any number of reasons.
