| I agree with your interpretation, but you added to my thoughts on it with the cars passing by part being the adults ignoring the teens I always had a hard time figuring out what that was about I like your take on it. Thanks! | |

| Regina Spektor – Eet Lyrics | 13 years ago |

People have come up with some pretty complicated explinations here. Personally I think its pretty simple. I think its about someone who has lost their way in life; likely from depression. And they are just trying to find a way back into it but they have forgotten how, even though it was once easy for them "You can't believe it, you were always singing along. It was so easy and the words so sweet." I know I've felt lost in my own life before and look back at those times in my childhood for example when things just seemed so much easier. I think thats all the song is trying to say. |

| Regina Spektor – Chemo Limo Lyrics | 13 years ago |

To me this song is about a mother of four who is stuggling with cancer and simply wants the whole ordeal to be over. She doesn't want to go through chemo, because of how awful it is to experince but she also doesn't have the money to pay for it and is worried that if she died anyways there would be nothing left for her kids. The doctor being her drive and listening to her as she tells him to "just go west" is to me her ebing able to give the doctor instructions for a change and her lack of destination is a sort of freedom to just explore and spend time with her kids. As for the "crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin" That seems to pretty clearly be money as Benjamin Franklin is on the American (I believe its the 100$) dollar bill. Regardless if it isnt the Hundred he is def on one of their bills. So I see the " I had a dream Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin came over and Baby-sat all four of my kids" as meaning that she dreamt that she had enough money that her kids would be taken care of and fiancial set for life after shes forced to leave them. Sad but great song! |
