| La Roux – Sexotheque Lyrics
| 11 years ago
|
It's a sweetly ironic song that, in my imagination, is about this young couple, they must be married, but not from long, they were highschool sweethearts. They went throught all that 1980's movie thing, but now they are bored. The man is kind of innocent, so, incitated by somebody else and to cure his unamusement, he goes to this sex-trade place, be a strip club, a whorehouse, or merely a club with hookers, called Sexotheque. He gets what he wished for, a cure for boredom and sameness, but started to get addicted to it, as he starts to spend too much money and time into self-indulgence, and doesn't even notice that his wife is about to leave him. This all told from the PoV of the wife's best friend.
Sometimes I think I should go into the literary business... |

I believe the song talks about lowclasspeople observing their upper-class counterparts, telling them they're not rich, they don't have the fine ettiquette, they aren't pleasant to the eyes, but they are just fine running their lives. |

| Lorde – Tennis Court Lyrics

|
Rich people don't define if the sun is going to rise tomorrow (if you know what I mean) in meeting rooms. All world-changing decisions are made in "banquet politics", that is, through informal meetings in meals, tourism, or even friendly sports matches, most commonly golf and tennis. That's what I take of going to the tennis court and talk it up. But your idea of "yeah" in the music video to allude to a mindless consent is very sustainable. |

Like most of her songs, the meaning of this songs go throught class conflicts. Here, we see a representative of a nouveau-riche, or a family that rose socially of an unexpected manner, or even herself, amidst an old-money environment, mocking the actions of those people trying to keep their finesse. |

| Marina and the Diamonds – Electra Heart Lyrics
| 12 years ago

I'm not sure, but for me it seems like some kind of bride that is starting to second-guess her wedding in benefit of some forbidden paramour. Or perhaps a paramour herself in the wedding of his lover, speaking to him (or her, it'd also make a lot of sense), demanding that the marriage is called off. I'm based on the lines "At the altar, would you pay the price?" and "holy father". Also, Electra is widely known as a woman who had a forbidden love affair, "Electra Heart" may be understood as "Heart like Electra's" |

Well, the song sure seems a little bit abusive to the elderly, but maybe she's not refering to her own "Nan" but to a more broad spectrum, to how old people live in general. Also, perhaps the first line means something I haven't understood, so... |

| The Killers – Just Another Girl Lyrics

Well, the "girl leaves boy broken-hearted" is already a cliché with The Killers. Most singles of the band, if not all of them, were about such thing. However, with this band we must forget a little about the lyrics and focus on the music. It is always so full of, albeit the same, emotion that always look like if it was a completely new thing. |

| Lily Allen – Hard Out Here Lyrics
| 12 years ago

Well, the song meaning is beyond discussion. Lily has already said that it was critic against misogyny, but, even if she didn't, she stated a pretty clear point. What remains to be said is that she's absolutely right.
Sure there is different standarts to women, specially in the music business. Take the Britney Spears example. She was rocketed up to the stars only to be put down in every possible opportunity, and while it was not so explicit in Lily's case, she suffered the same horrible treatment by public opinion. And, talking of prejudice, some of the criticised behaviors were tolerated, if not stimulated, in men, going as far as tainting the reputation of those who did not abide to said standarts. |

Oh, just another heart-broken song of her breakup. Well, she does have the right to write as many of these as she wants to, right? Saying her divorce "wasn't very nice on his part" is an understatement. |

I know it's quite mean, but I think it's about a (at least, moderately) wealthy girl whose family "lost it all" and she suddenly seen herself in a harder position to make her dreams come true, but instead of crying for the lost bonanza, she decided that "the sun has set to rise" and she would turn her lemons into a lemonade. |

It may not be the most accepted theory, but personally I believe that it refers to a ghost (be of a dead person or a spectrum of the past, a memory, something that did not had closure) that is haunting her, and making her suffer drowned in memories of "good old times". |

| The Killers – Mr. Brightside Lyrics

Sincerely, for me, the writer is not being cheated on, but being the lover, in a sick notion of being in love, what I believe he's not. He "chokes on alibi" because he's lying, as an in a literal sense of the word, not on a figurative sense.
Also he's "paying a price", wich, according to my humble oppinion, is the jealousy he's feeling of his lover with her legitimate parter, be a boyfriend or a husband. |

Everybody has their own dramas. I'm pretty sure no son of yours have fallen from the 50th floor, but you also get sad about stuff once in a while. Besides, it's not tragical, it's simply sad, since in nowhere he declared undying love, only sadness, regret, embarassment, a bit of rage, and lust. |

| Lily Allen – Him Lyrics

It's a true Lily-esque way of talking with God and ponder about Him. I believe it's quite healthy "humanize" God, as Lily does in this song, makes one feel closer to Him... By the way, all "kinds" of gods are spelled with a capital letter or only the christian one? I tend to write "God" with a capital letter as a reference to any kind of monotheist divinity, but I'm never sure... |
