| Placebo – Protect Me From What I Want Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I think both curlytomatoo and bakkermaarten007 are right. It's about gay people who feel like they wouldn't fit in to the society, so they feel being guilty and they would slowly become depressed. It's an 'Are you gay, are you blue?' kind of a situation if you don't mind me for adding some Tori Amos lyrics in order to clarify my interpretation. | |

| I guess she was 31 years old when she wrote this song and wasn't satisfied with her life back then. | |
| The National – Slipped Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I have a very painful personal reference to this song and I think it is about someone who's secretly gay and has feelings for someone who's openly gay. The openly gay person has already confessed but he/she wasn't ready to be out of the closet yet. "I'm in the crush and I hate it My eyes are fallen I'm having trouble inside my skin I try to keep my skeletons in" -> SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET "But I'll never be Anything you ever want me to be" -> I won't be your gay boyfriend/girlfriend The narrator is scared and confused so that he/she cut off all contact with the openly gay person, but he/she willing to fix their friendship at some point, but right now thinks that he/she never will be ready to tell that he/she has feelings too: "I keep coming back here where everything slipped But I will not spill my guts out" Also, he/she won't blame the openly gay person for the confession and for the night they've probably spent together: "I can't blame you for losing Your mind for a little while (so did I) I don't want you to change But I want you to recognize (that I)" -> That I'm not ready to be out of the closet. Personal reference: Ever since this happened to me, she's giving me the cold shoulder and she only messaged me these lyrics and told me the truth always can be found in music. :( |

| Placebo – Passive Aggressive Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I can relate! My gay crush is in the closet and also acting passive aggressive, it's really hurtful for both of us! | |
| The National – Pink Rabbits Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
"I love a storm, but I don't love lightning" The narrator still loves his ex (she's a storm), but he isn't happy for recognizing the distance between them. |
