| Arctic Monkeys – Arabella Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| It's obviously about his girlfriend Arielle Vandenberg and he is so infatuated since he talks about her like she's got "a Helter Skelter 'round her little finger and I ride it endlessly". Also, could be that he's the dominant one in the relationship, because he's the one driving the car and Arabella is in the passenger seat. | |
| Jake Bugg – Lightning Bolt Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Yes, I guess I can agree with you, ILUVU, the lightning bolt could represent youth, meaning it's so energetic and also pretty short - "in the blinking of an eye". And the verse "I just stand by and wait my time" could also mean he's got all the time in the world, because he's so young. | |

I like this song very much, I think the lightning bolt represents a sudden and unexpected situation in which he finds himself, a burst of fortunate events. In the chorus he says he is the kind of person who takes everything that has been put on the plate for him, he doesn't force it "I just stand by and I wait my time", but he will take the chance when it comes his way "when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt". He doesn't want to be one of those people who "walk with gritted teeth", "tow the line", the ones who don't take chances and believe there aren't any answers. I agree with his point of view - that luck is a great part of our lives, maybe even greater than we'd like to admit. The lightning bolt could also represent his love at first sight: "Met her as the angels parted for her But she only brought me torture But that’s what happens When it’s you who’s standing in the path of a lightning bolt" So by taking chances the listener could assume he means "taking chances in love". |
