| Mumford & Sons – Believe Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think the song is about a communication issue between two people who have a romantic interest in each other. There is something in the water between the two. And they both know it, and have known for a long time. One side admits it, while the other doesn't. One side wants to confirm whether or not this romance exists once and for all. But the breaking down and climbing over of relational walls and mountains has left this person drained, exhausted, and burned out from chasing for too long. It almost sounds like a final pleading for the other's affection, before being able to let go if nothing shows for that effort. |

| Neko Case – Vengeance is Sleeping Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This can apply to either guy or gal, but I'll just use "he/his" here. To me it's a song about a person who eventually realizes how one sided a relationship he had was, as someone who gave too much love or maybe tried to make things work and yet gained nothing in return. That everything he held dear about his "significant other" was a long held fabrication. He was a "nobody" to this other person the entire time. He realizes it now. So he retaliates with a 'sleeping vengeance' stemming from a broken and angry heart. It's as if these lyrics are expressing "if she can do whatever she wants, then I'll do whatever I want" kind of thing. Yet the irony is that he says its "ruthless" for missing this person. Makes you wonder what being a brute really means. Ruthless for loving, or ruthless for hating? Quite poetic. Beautiful song. |
