| IO Echo – When the Lillies Die Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| I think this song might be about feeling alienated in a relationship. Someone's bringing "frost" to a relationship that should feel like paradise. Suddenly everything is unrecognizable. Things aren't as you thought they would be. And the "lillies die", the hopes for the relationship go with them. | |
| Regina Spektor – A Cooler Version of Yourself Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| To me, this kinda seems like a young girls first sexual experience. Or maybe she's thinking about what sex might be like. But it kinda seems a little rape-ish because she's not enjoying it. That's the oddest part. | |
| Regina Spektor – 8th Floor Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| Young Regina Spektor has moved to America and is seeing herself as a different person in new surroundings with a changing identity. Everything seems big and strange making her feel small and maybe helpless because it was against her control. Even the weather is different than it should be! Something getting lost in the translation might sum up the song and the feeling of being somewhere new and feeling scared and misunderstood. | |
| The Cowboy Junkies – Sweet Jane Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
Anyone who's ever had a heart wouldn't turn around and break it, And anyone who's ever played a part wouldn't turn around and hate it. Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane, Ah sweet, sweet Jane You're waiting for Jimmy down in the alley You're waiting there for him to come back home You're waiting down on the corner thinking of ways to come back homw. Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane, Ah Sweet, Sweet Jane Anyone who's had a dream Anyone who's ever played a part Anyone who's ever been lonely and Anyone who's ever split apart. Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane, Ah Sweet, Sweet Jane. Heavenly wine and roses seem to whisper to me when you smile. Heavenly wine and roses seem to whisper to me when you smile. La, La La La La La Laa La la laaa la la la la la la la la la la la laa la la la Sweet Jane, Sweet, sweet Jane. |

| M83 – Outro Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| I was just about to say this :) | |
| Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| Someone dedicated this song to me a few years back, because at the time, I was really co-dependent (ok, It's still something I'm really struggling with, but just not so explosively) I think she meant in sort of a smart ass way, but it's sort of become my personal anthem. I listen to it whenever I want to tell myself to chill out, and to remind myself that I don't have to chase love and sacrifice my heart or self image for people who probably aren't worth the struggle anyway. So, It has a special meaning to me, and I think that's what is so great about music- everyone can have their own personal part of a song, and fill it with their own meanings, memories and emotions. | |
| The Avalanches – Frontier Psychiatrist Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| I just wanna give major props to the person who say through this song, who knows how many times- and wrote down damn near every single things that was said. That cracks me up- this song does things to people :) | |
| Virgil – Amnesia Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| This song is so cool. I feel like many people could relate. At some point we all want to start over- either in relationships or in life in general. | |
| Virgil – Amnesia Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| It means, he's heard the word 'no' so many times, he's feeling hopeful that the next time or so, he will have a positive outcome. (That's what I took from it anyway) 999 no's + one more no= 1 yes. | |
| M. Ward – Silverline Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| This song is the best! I could jam to this all day. It makes me think of driving through the countryside. | |
| Snowmine – Let Me In Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| It seems like a man keeps falling in love with or sleeping with a woman even though he doesn't believe he is good for her. | |
| Three Dog Night – Mama Told Me (Not to Come) (Eric Burdon cover) Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| A kid goes to a party against his mother's advice, and is shocked by the drinking, smoking- and everything else that happens at a party. The police come to break it up. | |
| Sea Wolf – The Cold, the Dark, and the Silence Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| It did seem a little teasing that way, it almost hit me as cruel at first. It's a very interesting song! | |
| Beck – Lost Cause Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
The singer seems to be singing about someone he was in a codependant relationship with. She was engaging in unhealthy habits or behavior and he tried to save her, but she didn't want to change or to accept his help, making him a lost cause. She's angry at him for leaving, (which he has to do for his own sake) She probably gets into many dysfunctional relationships similar where someone has to be over to shoulder to take care of her, and the singer says, that soon she won't have that anymore. |

| Coldplay – Clocks Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
The first paragraph seems to be about despair to the point of begging someone (probably God) for help. 2nd, Mentions problems that he won't talk about, and the tiger waiting to be tamed is probably his inner self. 3rd Being confused or conflicted. The closing walls and ticking clocks seem to be his missing of opportunities (which is later mentioned) and his awareness that he is wasting time in his sadness. Life is continuing without him. 4th. Am I a part of the cure or am I part of the disease, seems to be about figuring out who you are and if what you do is helping others or making things worse. |

| Perfume Genius – Write To Your Brother Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Sort of a disturbing, haunting little song, as many Perfume Genius Songs seem to be. It seems to be about a girl named Mary who is being sexually abused by her mom, so she writes to her older brother who is sick or who possibly was abused as well? The only thing that stumps me is why he has to open it on Christmas. Would that be an attack on him, giving bad news on Christmas. Or maybe it's to convince him to visit around that time? Hopefully somebody else has an opinion! |

| Big Country – In A Big Country Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| A young person has had their dreams crushed or has been hurt time and time again. Learning to express their emotions (screaming) keeps them alive or from committing suicide and I guess they run away in order to survive. | |
