| Alice in Chains – Hollow Lyrics | 9 years ago |

I think the song and the clip are really matching about the theme : Hollow merely deals with slipping into mental breakdown and alienation when you're remaining alone for too long, just like the astronaut who can't stand his loneliness and the estrangement with his loved ones. In an almost psychotic way, your vitality is burning out and in the end all what's left is emptiness. |

| Daft Punk – Instant Crush (feat. Julian Casablancas) Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I think the song is simply the expression of the narrator's grief and melancholic point of view when he understands he'll never reach the girl he loves. The most important line here could be "We're swimming around, it's all I do, when I'm with you" ; he exhibits a facade and doesn't play true when he's with her, 'cause she's in love with one of their common friend, who seems to guess what are the narrator's feelings and become a "heart-breaker" because it could be bad for their friendship so he does the dirty job : "He sees right through me it's so easy with lies, Cracks in the road that I would try and disguise, He runs his scissor at the seem in the wall, He cannot break it down or else he would fall". So yeah, this is a sad song because the narrator experiments "the instant crush" but he's immediately placed in the friend zone and must play the "good silent friend" in order to avoid the estrangement with his two childhood friends. To me, tconwa1 must be the closest to the real interpretation of the song. |
