| Imogen Heap – Half Life Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| That's an interesting observation, about radioactive elements. I didn't pick it up but it fits perfectly. That's the genius of Imogen for you, her music works in layers and can still be understood if you're only scratching the surface, but rewards you tenfold if you listen closely. | |
| Imogen Heap – Little Bird Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
In response to AlexGui, I agree with nearly everything they've said. My only tweak is that the four-letter word is more likely to be "love." My interpretation of the last verse is as follows: One more question I'll let it rest I swear I'll let it rest Got one more question (And I swear I'll let it rest) I've got one more question Little bird, little bird, little bird Where have you gone? Imogen want to ask her "little bird" (which I symbolize as hope; I often personify my emotions in order to solve problems and I'm sure that's what this analogy refers to) another question, which I assume is: "Will my parents stay together/ be happy again?" or something to that effect. Not wanting to answer this herself, her "little bird," or her hope, flies away and plants the seed of doubt and realization in her mind. This verse is so powerful; I get goosebumps every time I hear, "Little bird, little bird, little bird, where have you gone?" |

| He Is We – Blame It On The Rain Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song really applies to me. There was a guy I really liked for about a year. He dated a couple of girls off and on and I fell in love with him. I could tell he regarded me solely as a friend and I'm afraid I sort of gave away my feelings. He then became more distant for a while and I was left being jealous of and critiquing his girlfriends. I'm 'out of love' with him now that I've seen deeper into his personality. He's a good friend and we're closer again now, but I can still relate back to this song. And he still has a cute smile. ;) |

| Sara Bareilles – Eden Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
As said before, this song is really about Sara moving from her hometown and having to take risks and adjust. However, personally, I perceive this song talking about fame. Fame always starts out good (Threw a lucky pair of dice, ended up in a paradise) but eventually gets dark. Examples of this are "All those angels started acting the same," saying the 'goodies' of fame eventually all become superficial sellouts. "No way to make the pain play fair, it doesn't disappear just because you say it isn't there" Fame causes great pain and there's no privacy to allow you to deal with the personal struggles of fame. Then the obvious "When they ask, 'Why'd she go?' You can say, ' 'Cause life in Eden changed.'" Stating how people bail out of what some people think must be the dream life because the lifestyle starts to get dangerous. The second verse represents the change fame undergoes in the middle. The serpent represents the evils that start enticing stars. "Less than beautiful is worse than unholy," showing that famous people have to be perfect or they get torn down by the media. "Idolized my innocence, stole it from me in the end...still paying for the poison they sold me" Saying that famous people all start out innocent and nice, but fame steals their personality and they pay for it long after. The bridge also supports this. "I was placing bets...this was even better than as good as it gets...Looking back,... I was choking on the air in Eden" Stating that fame seems so wonderful, but in retrospect it restricts you, your privacy and your personality. I realize this isn't what the song is about, but that's what I imagined and I think it still fits well! |
