Blur – Birthday Lyrics

11 years ago

Maybe I'm oversimplifying things, but I always thought this song was about being lonely and isolated on your birthday. It's a day when you're supposed to be surrounded by people and the centre of attention, but the narrator has no one - he just sits in the park, thinking, and remembering a lost love. He feels small while others feel significant on the annual celebration. I've come to dread my birthdays for the same reason. As a youngster they were fun, but in adulthood, not so much.

Go West – We Close Our Eyes Lyrics

11 years ago

It's about how within your own mind you can do anything, but that in reality it's not quite so easy. With eyes closed, while escaping into the realm of imagination you can talk to strangers, walk on water, whatever. However, the song cautions: "We close our eyes, but time's slipping away". You have to make use of time and achieve what you can in the real world, while accepting your shortcomings and not spending too many hours dreaming about what you could have been.

Morrissey had absolutely nothing to do with "Wonderful Life". It was written solely by Black.

TLC – No Scrubs Lyrics	12 years ago
I'm in the same boat as Warren67, almost. I got sick a few years ago and had to give up my job, my apartment and my car. I have a good job now but I will never drive again and I am back living with my parents. During the ordeal my girl cleared off and I've never been able to find a new one, so the song is pretty true to life, I guess.

Go West – We Close Our Eyes Lyrics	12 years ago
The song to me seems to be about how you can close your eyes and do anything within the realm of your own mind. You can talk to strangers, walk on water, whatever you like. However it serves as a warning not to spend too much time dreaming and to do the most you can with what you have in reality. Every second of your life not used constructively is a second lost.
