| Elvis Costello – Deep Dark Truthful Mirror Lyrics

|
Truly amazing lyrics. At once casual and cruel and self-interrogating.
I guess meanings-wise it follows the familiar thread of self loathing, drunkenness, regret and guilt.
Regular Friday night party tune. |

| The Horrors – Still Life Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
I think this song is about a man waiting on their friend/lover/family member in a coma.
The lovely plodding rhythm and melodic grandeur convey real patience.
The moment that you want is coming...
Could refer to death or awakening.
