| Marina and the Diamonds – The Outsider Lyrics

It's about contemplating whether or not to put yourself out there to try making new friends because you are alone but at the same time being repulsed by the idea because you are afraid of failing. You are shy and to yourself outwardly but your personality burst internally. You wonder whether it's worth it because you're so good at being invisible. I love the way she describes being an inward person as being "Inside the outsider" because that's exactly how it is. |

In the context of Electra Heart this is a dreamy and melancholy song about the fall from grace you experience after losing yourself in what others think of you. For me, it accurately describes how I feel everyday. |

| Crystal Castles – Plague Lyrics

To me it sounds like Alice is singing from the perspective of a higher power that is psychologically brainwashing a nation of people to give up all of their freedoms and essentially submit to becoming slaves. The higher power knows of it's power and feeds off of it, which is why it defiantly says "I am the plague." with a sense of narcissism at how his/her influence spreads like wildfire. Some of the symbolisms in the lyrics like 'thy gifts don't give to me' makes me think it might also be an accusation at an omnipresent "God' who is wrathful and manipulative of his creation. Either way, the song as a whole gives me a sinister Big-Brother vibe that is unsettlingly demented. |

| Julee Cruise – Questions In A World Of Blue Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
Outwardly, this song is about the disappearance of someone's soul mate out of the blue, seemingly without any answers. The singer asks why, confused, claiming that things were going beautifully before the other's departure. Beneath that facade of a broken relationship song, however, by the context of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me as well as the way the song makes me feel, I see it as a melancholy questioning of one's own happiness which no longer exists inside of them. Every question leads into a deeper sadness as each goes unanswered because your happiness, your life force, is gone; leaving you to ponder where things went wrong, wondering why things in your life can't go right, why the higher power (if existing) continues to be cruel and subject you to further pain no matter where you turn, and why you can't keep your happiness. Questions in a world of blue.
'Why did you go? Was it me, was it you? Questions in a world of blue.' |
