| St. Vincent – Surgeon Lyrics

I'm thinking it's "a blue and red" instead of "of blue and red." I think the colors refer to pills (anti-depressents (could also relate to "attack" as in panic attack)). When she says "a little something to get long" I think she is referrin to medication. |

I think the birds could represent internal desire, things you want but "can't" have. We often repress desire. Be it love, sex, or even buying a candy bar. Charlie is saying that life is better when you give in. Let the birds fly. |

In regards to the Chloroform interpretation, I think Mars is having a reaction to "eyes" discovering that he is "insecure" by poisoning the person with Chloroform, to make them forget what they've seen. Mars clearly wants to highlight on a bad guy kind of persona who doesn't care and is unmoving. He poisons whoever can see that it's perhaps an act, and he is actually in conflict with his self. |

| Miniature Tigers – Last Night's Fake Blood Lyrics

I'm fairly sure it's about aborting a baby that the protagonist made with a girl he doesn't really love, maybe just a hookup gone south. I can't really get all the verse's meanings down, but I think washing off the fake blood is killing the baby that doesn't mean anything to them, from the sex that didn't mean anything to them, i.e. fake cut, and the poor girl's pregnancy is really screwing up the protagonist's life ("bleeding all over everything I own"). |

| Cage the Elephant – Halo Lyrics

In the middle of this situation right now unfortunately. I like a girl who is hopelessly attached to a girlfriend of her past. To add to that, she just broke up with my best friend after dating for a week. He is still quite upset about it. So, I can't break guy code and date her or anything that is at all public. And the chances of heat of the moment kisses and confessions are dimmed because of her attachment and I deliberately put my self in the friend zone so nothing would happen that could ruin my friendship. So even the slightest show of affection or desire from her "reels me in so she can tell me that she loves me and we'll always be friends." Life sucks but this song is great. |

| Alex Turner – Piledriver Waltz Lyrics
| 12 years ago

I agree with most of the interpretations on this post except for the opening lines.
"I etched the face of a stopwatch on the back of a raindrop
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass"
I think that this means that he is anxious to know when she will breakup with him. He knows it is inevitable, indicated by the rain, but that isn't good enough for him. He wants know exactly when his relationship will end. So he draws a stop watch on the back of a raindrop hat indicates the end so as to get a more accurate reading of when it will end, and just to make sure he puts it in an hourglass. This is all in dream as indicated by him waking up from said pile-driver waltz. I also believe the pile-driver waltz to be an oxymoron because I think it is two words that contradict each other. The break up is supposed to happen in such an orchestrated graceful manner (Waltz), but at the same time being forceful, rough and unpleasant (Pile-driver). |

I think the song is about a man who has a thing with this girl who is young and restless, which bothers him. He throughs out the idea that they should think about settling down or something of the sort, but she just brushes the idea off. i know this doesn't really coincide with one way trigger, but whatever dude. |

| The Strokes – Welcome To Japan Lyrics
| 12 years ago

I think its about a man who leaves to go touring with his band and how he cheats on his woman back home by having sex with women while on tour. Towards the end of the song he feels the guilt for what he is doing and how he is barely home. I also think the title of the song, "Welcome To Japan," is a sort of justification of his actions. Sort of asking, "what do you expect?" Also maybe he isn't necessarily in Japan, maybe he is just using Japan to describe how far apart he feels from his woman back home. |
