Mac DeMarco – Cooking Up Something Good Lyrics 10 years ago
Seems to me like young Mac wasn't very happy living in his house so he kept to himself and smoked/played guitar

The Vaccines – I Always Knew Lyrics 11 years ago
I think it's way more simple. I believe this is the singer realizing that he has fallen in love. Sort of like he's putting two and two together.

He has these feelings in the verses he's never felt before, but he can't figure out why. And then the chorus is him realizing that he's in love.

Sun Kil Moon – Ben's My Friend Lyrics 11 years ago
The song is brilliant, because on one hand he's talking about nothing (just generally what's on his mind). But on the other hand, he's talking about life so honestly that it gives you a very personal look into his mind.

Simply put, this song is life.

Lovely tune.

Generationals – Goose & Gander Lyrics 11 years ago
I think it's about a mutual breakup. For whatever reason the relationship has reached it's end but they still communicate. This communication kills him and the only way it will get better is if they don't talk. "It's just that it won't get better 'til you leave me alone".

Also the line, "We can't stand each other but we can't be apart", clearly indicates they want to be away from each other but can't do it because of how attached they are.

Daughter – Youth Lyrics 12 years ago
I disagree. I think it means if you still bleed you haven't been turned cold by the world yet. And for that you're lucky

The versions with "Is this Love?" is just too perfect

The Avett Brothers – The Greatest Sum Lyrics 12 years ago
This song isn't sad. In fact it's very romantic and powerful.

In this verse, "This and who I used to be
don’t matter much at all to me
The pit you dug to plant your feet’s
a far cry from my destiny"

He's saying that he's nothing like what he thought he'd be, but he's ok because he's with her and everything has changed. His "destiny" doesn't matter anymore because of her.

Second verse "Dark and lonely is the ride
the devil always by my side
Though no match for what lies between
a thought of you, your trust for me"

He's saying that the devil is all around him, but he's no match for the love he has for her.

Third verse, "No count of gold placed in my hand
the largest find, the greatest sum
Though some would say it’d easy our pain
we know that it can’t be done"

He's saying that the money is said to be the source of happiness. But he says its not and implies that, for him, his girl is what eases his pain.

Johnny Flynn – The Prizefighter and the Heiress Lyrics 12 years ago
I think it's about a fight he had with his now wife. It looked like he was ready to end the whole relationship, and then he rested on it and woke up realizing he didn't want to do that. He realized that they have a rough road ahead but he's willing to weather that for her.

"Me and my dream
As me and my girl
Have more than
A thousand square miles to twirl"

I think he says "we'll hide out" not "where I hide and"

Caesars – Jerk It Out Lyrics 12 years ago
This song can mean so many different things. I think the Meth one is the right one.

But before I read that I really thought it might be a breakup song and he's finally getting his energy and freedom back and he's over the chick.

And also it could be about masturbation too, I guess.

The Avett Brothers – I Would Be Sad Lyrics 13 years ago
I love how Seth just takes over midway through, and then Scott comes back in right at the end.

Timothy Seth Avett As Darling – The Mourning, The Silver, The Bell Lyrics 13 years ago
This song is tough to read. I think seth is dealing with a breakup and his mind is all over the place("I could love her, I could kill her").

So this song just kind of paints a picture of how messed up his mind is after this break up ("The grass is orange and the sky is green"). He's stuck between hoping it goes back to the way it was and moving on.

The Lumineers – Slow It Down Lyrics 13 years ago
Reading takatsch's comment had a weird effect on me. It made me think about the relationship I just got out of and made me pretty sad. But the end where he talks about never looking back oddly made me smile. Don't look back. The future is vast.
