| Beach Fossils – Sometimes Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Well I can understand But I really don't care to know And you can take my hand But I don't care where we go And if you think you know And if you think you know What I'm thinking about Then I can read your thoughts Without any doubt He wants to be together with the one he loves, and it doesn't matter to him where they go or what they do, as long as he is with her. And he loves that they share so many common interests: And if I happen to fall Then please don't pick me up Cause we're enjoying our time And I wouldn't want to interrupt He knows that it is a surreal and precious experience to spend time with her, and he doesn't want to be reminded of reality without her. incredible song. it's scary how accurate this is, because i'm experiencing exactly the same thing with this amazing girl i'm in love with. |

| The National – American Mary Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| sounds to me like he's going away to serve in the army, and his wife/gf is upset but he has made his choice. I think the title 'American Mary' is referring to her as an army wife. The emotions matt has put into the song are incredible. | |
| The National – Wake Up Your Saints Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| On second thought it sounds to me like the 'hole in the middle where the lightning went through' is the impact of receiving bad news on him. | |
| The National – Wake Up Your Saints Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I think it sounded like something very bad happened to him, when he said 'a hole in the middle where the lightning went through'. I'm more inclined to think that he got involved in some criminal act and he's in too deep, because 'it's a living but you're wrong for the life', and it is described as a metaphorical illness. He loses his way but his wife is constantly there for him. He also laments the fact that the control one has over his life is incredibly insignificant, when he said 'it's easy to lose your grip'. He feels like an outsider, being a criminal and an outcast, living with his guilt. The chorus represents his pleas for forgiveness towards the saints (presumably angels or God). | |
| The Amity Affliction – H.M.A.S Lookback Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I think this song represents the crew of the ship HMAS feeling nostalgic about his voyaging times, He is in awe of the power and the beauty of the ocean, the tide and the view of the night sky at sea. One day, he falls into the water, and his final thoughts are of the sea engulfing him, making him part of what he loves, forever. Amazing song, chills everytime. |
