| All Time Low – Come One, Come All Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I agree with the above comment that this isn't really just about killing a DJ. I feel like the song is about all of Alex's pent-up anger at the music industry and life in general, and he's taking it out on an annoying DJ. Like this for instance: "I've got a bone to pick with you, Mr. DJ The traffic in this town is just as bad as it is in L.A." It almost seems like he's blaming the DJ for the traffic, although admittedly, as someone else suggested, it could be about him sitting in traffic and being forced to listen to the DJ. But even more to the point is the chorus: "Come one, come all, you're just in time To witness my first breakdown 'Cause there's a mile gone for every minute passed When I'm wasting space in this town" He's frustrated that he's wasting time and space, and he feels like he needs to take it out on somebody. That's why I disagree when I say the song has no depth - it's about more than just murder. |

| Imogen Heap – Little Bird Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I'm going to have to agree with the people who say this is about abuse. Heap wouldn't use a line like, "We smell rats in the kitchen" if it was just about family members making an excuse not to talk to a kid. It's too sinister for that. No, the line refers to the narrator of the song knowing about abuse, as her determination to help grows. Also, there's a reference to a cleaned j-cloth. A j-cloth is something you use to clean fluids off of furniture - I think it refers to the family hiding blood that was literally spilled onto a table or chair. There's no explanation for the line if the song is about Imogen's parents divorcing when she was a child. | |
| The Academy Is... – Classifieds Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Lyric-wise, this is one of the very strongest off "Almost Here". They do a great job of capturing how frustrating it is to try to get into the music business. And I like that they aren't relying on one-liners - the first verse being the obvious standout in that regard. It's creative without being cryptic - it says exactly what it wants to say clearly but still in an original way. And every once in a while, there are some really good one-liners: "The once-ambitious one now holds a smoking gun" is my favorite. | |
