| Bastille – Flaws Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I think the song's actually pretty straight forward. The lyrics talk about the flaws of both parties being "laid out one by one" and "[lying] there hand in hand". I feel that its simply the writer of the lyrics expressing that they feel comfortable taking the flaws that they "buried deep beneath the ground" and putting them out in the open and being okay with the other person seeing them. The other person is already comfortable with how they, themselves, are. Tl;dr, the song is about finding someone that you can be honest and yourself with, flaws and all, and the other gives that right back, and you both are comfortable with the transaction. |

| The Used – Thought Criminal Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I wouldn't doubt that this song is about 'Thoughtcrime', mentioned in "1984" by George Orwell. The Used has, as of their 2013 EP, delved into politics and related topics. The book is wholly based on totalitarianism, thus the possibilty of 'thoughtcrime' and 'thought criminals'. I may not be 100% correct but I think it has something to do with Orwell's book. | |
