| Imogen Heap – Headlock Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I’ve been walking, you’ve been hiding, And you look half dead half the time. Monitoring you, like machines do, You’ve still got it, I’m just keeping an eye. I’ve been walking through life freely and openly after making the hard decision to break up with the Fiancée that I knew wasn’t a perfect match for me. I chose not to settle while you witnessed the complexity and disappointment associated with our break-up. You also witnessed the recovery period; where I soul-searched and found myself and peace in love and the decision I made. Despite this, you’re hiding behind the comfort and rhythm of your 3 year-long relationship instead of doing what you know is right: ending it. You hide behind the everyday routine to avoid breaking hearts and serving disappointment, but at the cost of your happiness. I’ve been watching you and noticed how you’re different when he’s around. You seem restricted and unsure of yourself. I see you sleeping too much and refusing to wake-up because in your dreams you are free and you don’t want to return to the life you feel trapped inside. I’ve seen what you’re capable of and I’m here to reassure you that you’ve still got the freedom of choice. You say too late to start, got your heart in a headlock, I don’t believe any of it. You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock, You know you’re better than this. You keep telling yourself it’s too late to start another relationship (with me) because another man has your heart in a headlock. Maybe not by you being uncontrollably in love with him but by the commitment you’ve made for over 3 years and the pressures and expectations placed upon the two of you to last by everyone involved. You know if you aren’t 100% happy and sure of your relationship that you shouldn’t settle, but your heart is in a headlock; without the freedom to choose without disappointing people or breaking hearts. I can’t believe you’re the kind of girl to settle. With big intention, still posted at your station Always on about the day it should have flown. I have always been here by your side; waiting for you. Waiting for the day that you’ll do what you know is right in your heart. He has you’re heart in a headlock and you’ve got mine. I will continue to be here; secretly waiting for you to find the strength in yourself as I see it so. As frustrating as it may be, here I’ll wait for you. |

| Angus and Julia Stone – Mango Tree Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I wish I had a mango tree In my backyard With you standin’ next to me Take the picture Your love for me causes you to imagine a life with me; one a married couple would share. You imagine our backyard with a mango tree and tons of family photos. Is it possible to take a picture of this imagined life so it can last forever in its perfection in case it cannot actually be? Through my eyes I can see A shooting star Weaving its way across the sea Somewhere from Mars Through your imagination you see the kind of life we would share; one full of happiness and prosperity. You make a wish on a shooting star, that this man from Mars searching for the one ‘fish’ in the sea of women would find in you the kind of love you’ve found in me so that this dream could become reality. From her lips I heard her say Can I have you We’ve flirted and tiptoed on both sides of the line for so long; failing to directly admit the way that we feel that you’ve become desperate for an answer and directly ask me to become yours. I said you do Down the street we would run To scratch our names in the path Young and free in the sun Wheels upon the tar If I admit my feelings and allow you to ‘have me’ as you have always ‘had me’ in friendship, the euphoria in our hearts would encourage us to run through the streets shouting it and writing it any and everywhere. We would be free together; free to express our love openly while riding together happily down the road of life; where ever it may take us. |

Good interpretation. Have you considered it being in references to a secret love? I have he following interpretation: The secret that you know; that you don’t know how to tell. It fucks with your honor; and it teases your head. But you know that its good girl, cause its running you with red. The ‘secret’ is your love for me. The euphoric happiness overwhelming your soul with each conversation is a constant ‘teasing’ reminder and a ‘good’ thing. But your love for me ‘fucks with your honor’ because you know it’s more than just friendly love. It ‘fucks with you’ because you’re in a relationship with not only another man, but my best friend. Not just any relationship, but one of more than 3 years that is expected and pressured to last. You feel guilty for not expecting that yourself and for having doubts probably because you’re constantly ‘teased’ by your love for me. You said, “Aint this just like the present To be showing up like this” As a moon waned to crescent The ‘present’ is love. How could love be bad? Any and all love shared and revealed is a true gift to be cherished regardless of its duration. As a moon decreases to crescent it becomes less visible yet is still as real and ‘present’ as ever before; just less obvious. Referencing a waning moon to crescent could be a reference to your love becoming less and less visible, public, or recognized in regard to its true depth and immensity. That secret that we know That we don’t know how to tell Im in love with your honor Im in love with your cheeks What’s that noise up the stairs babe? Is that Christmas morning creaks? We started to kiss The ‘secret’ love that is now revealed has to be shared in secrecy to avoid hurting him. I love your strength and bravery in revealing its immensity and I ‘honor’ you for being truthful with yourself and your emotions. With my R&R approaching, the anticipation and longing for one another builds to an undeniable level. Like with Christmas, the wrapping paper gets removed and the gift of love enclosed becomes revealed and admitted to with a kiss. Or does it… How could I betray my best friend and trade 2 everlasting friendships for one loving relationship of unknown length? |
