| The Lumineers – Big Parade Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Without much to back up my opinion, for some reason I got the idea in my head that the song is about JFK and Jackie. Or at least part of it is. The beginning where it talks about the candidate, then in the last verse it talks about how he was blind and now he sees. Jackie and JFK lost a child, and after that (correct me if I am mistaken) JFK begged her to stay saying how he loved her etc.. Anyone else share similar thoughts? |

| Black Lab – Gone Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| The man is cold hearted, he knows this and tells her this. Whether literally or in his head regardless she was fun to be with but he's moving on. Nothing will change his mind, it's clean cut. Simple. He's gone and that's that. But in the back of his mind a part of him does regret hurting her, however not enough to stop him leaving. | |
| She Wants Revenge – Suck It Up Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
One of my favourite songs they've ever done... The man in the song has fallen for a "bad girl" and in the first verse he's determined to prove himself. "Don't you underestimate my dirty mind My dirty talk, my dirty thoughts Can't you feel it in the way my body moves" Only problem is, the man falls for the girl. He knows it's no good, that he is better than this but he can't help himself he can't resist her: "Who am I kidding, you're my one and only vice" She sets him free, he can't let go: "Just because we're over doesn't mean that I'm free Because I come right back to you" There's just two things that confuse me, the last lines about the photo in black and white, has it anything to do with the saying "take a picture it will last longer"? Black&white because of the dramatic/realistic approach (i.e clear cut no grey area?) And the part where he talks about her pretending not be more than the distraction (second verse 3rd last line) is this the girl in question being a distraction from his own dismal pain/life. Or is it another girl he's using to distract himself from the bad girl in the beginning? |

| Bruce Springsteen – Downbound Train Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I don't think it's about murder to be honest. Now that being said I'm not familiar with every Springsteen song, but when you listen to his voice, it just doesn't sound like the song of someone who had murdered. Like Nicolett said, it is such a beautiful song.. "She just said, "Joe, I gotta go We had it once, we ain't got it anymore" She packed her bags left me behind She bought a ticket on the Central Line Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining I feel her kiss in the misty rain And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train" The couple just can't cope, I would imagine him losing his job was a big game changer their relationship couldn't cope. That whistle he keeps hearing could be a memory of the last time he saw her. As for when he hears a voice, and runs home I think it's just his imagination. Sometimes when you want something so desperately to be true, your mind plays tricks on you. I think the title in itself is due to the the connection with trains on a track symbolizing your life's journey. "Downbound train" a negative connection, things are going "downhill". |
