| Vance Joy – Riptide Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
he starts with his fears 'I was scared of dentists and the dark I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations' all his friends are starting to make a lot of money 'Oh, all my friends are turning green' he cant believe he has gotten such a beautiful girl and all his friends are jealous 'You're the magician's assistant in their dreams' 'I wanna be your left hand man' he wants to marry her. 'I got a lump in my throat because You're gonna sing the words wrong' he tells her he loves her and when she replies she doesnt say it or mean it. I just wanna, I just wanna know If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay I just gotta, I just gotta know I can't have it, I can't have it any other way I swear she's destined for the screen Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh his isnt sure if she is going to stay with him and its killing him because she is blow hot blow cold about him and he is very insecure this is my interpretation. i dont know if its right but in summary it is a song about unrequited love. |

| Radical Face – Let the River In Lyrics | 10 years ago |

it seems to me to be about a boy who was very unhappy in his home and at first he hid away and ignored it. As he got older he wasn't able to stand it any more (this is the part in the song where the music changes) i think now he is saying that he is covered in all the wrong that his father has done so he peels it off and blends it into his own so that people won't see him for what his dad did .'I peeled them off and sure I bled it in' now he is able to live his own life make his own decisions and mistakes and start afresh. 'But now I'm free to sink my own damn ship' then he breaks away from his family and destroys all his memories.'I cut the bridge down from my family tree To start a fire in the middle Now the house is just ash this time, sink or swim' Let the river in If blood is thicker than water Then let the river in We might drift away, but we've got thick skin the phrase is blood is thicker than water meaning family will always be closer then a friend.So i think this is him trying to dilute his family into any person he would meet on the street. i think the last line means they may be a bit upset not to be in contact with their son but they are strong so they would get over it. |
