| Sarah Blasko – Explain Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
To begin with I have a few "corrections" (I say corrections but I don't know if I'm any closer to being right than you are) "Oh there's a funny light In the stars tonight You and I were right" This makes more sense because the whole song is pretty melancholy and it's like she's thinking back to the times when they would talk about things and make predictions about the future and now she's like, "Oh we were right, too bad now its all going to hell". "I don't know where you Think you'll start again" This kind of ties into how she keeps mentioning herself and how it began/where to begin, but it's him starting AGAIN. "Do we begin tonight? Is it a righteous fight?" This one just sounds to me like it fits better with the song because she sounds like she's asking a question, it doesn't really change the meaning of what is already above though. "Remember our love Warm, but in the coldest light you see" I think I hear this line this way (and it's my favourite one) because I think it SHOULD be written this way, even if it's not. It's like she's saying, our love was lovely and warm and amazing, but there was always this shadow hanging over it and making it cold and not as amazing. "All the factories All infirmaries Are closed" Infirmaries are like hospitals and she's saying they're all closed because earlier she talked about fighting and they are both in pain because things are falling apart but they have no where to go to fix themselves up and get better. As for the line that everyone else can't hear either I have nothing new to add, I keep listening to it trying to find a word that makes sense and I can't think of one haha I keep hearing "our love is an amount" which would kind of suggest he was looking at their relationship as a clinical measurable thing but I don't know if that really fits into the rest of the song. Anyway, correct me if you think any of these are wrong, I'm just saying what I'm hearing. This is my favourite Sarah Blasko song and I think her voice is absolutely gorgeous in this. I'd be really interested to hear other people's interpretations though :) |

| Ed Sheeran – Little Bird Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This song is so catchy! And it's more upbeat than some of Ed Sheeran's more popular songs but I like it just the same. Okay so as far as meaning goes let's assume he's talking about a girl (seems pretty obvious) and it seems like they've sort of had a relationship before and maybe it didn't work out and now he's contemplating giving it another go. I think the 'little bird' is a metaphor for their relationship. It has a "broken leg", so their relationship is 'injured' or 'damaged' and just isn't going to get better. So she suggests that they try to fix it. But at the end of the song he said he "left that little bird with it's broken leg to die" so I guess he chose not to continue the relationship, and yet because he plays the chorus again straight after I think he's still not sure whether he made the right choice because he still wants her but thinks it would be a mistake to jump straight back in. This is the first time I've tried to figure out the meaning of the song and write it down so it could be that none of that makes sense or is completely wrong but that's just what I get from the song. |
