| Noah and the Whale – Second Lover Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I see what other people meant when they said it was about an Internet affair, but I always took it to mean that the girl in the song had a lover who had died. I think the singer loves her but knows that she loves another, and he envys her because she has someone who she truly loves, like when he says "There's a man underground that will always love you". I also think this song is nice when it refers to the line mentioned above, because it's saying that whoever that man is (it's open to interpretation) it doesn't matter that he's dead because he still loves her; their love is eternal. One of my favorite songs, I love noah & the whale in general. |

| Awolnation – Knights Of Shame Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I think this song is kind of just about his life in general. It takes lots of different twists and turns throughout it, and if you listen to the middle section he sounds kind of rash and angry, which is a similar theme on some of his other songs. Then towards the end it's like he's looking for love when he says "waiting on a heartbeat etc. " I do agree with others when they say he talks about how messed up the human race is though. While listening to this, I'm reminded of something I've heard recently about Mozart. In his operas, the stories he told weren't comedies or tragedies like the other stories of the time were, they were stories that highlighted the good and the bad in life, because no life is all good or all bad. I think AWOLNATION is saying that too, he has high points and low points as he goes along, and this song is all about how he deals with them. |
