| Foo Fighters – Stranger Things Have Happened Lyrics | 8 years ago |

Well, the beauty of poetry and its various interpretations. I find the meaning as a mix of the posts I have seen. My take on it is that he is talking about a relationship where the singer is still sharing the same dwelling with his ex-partner, while the partner is living her own life, knowing that she will leave (As I lay awake and wait for you to walk out that door) and do her thing, but will return (And wait for you to come through the door). Loneliness is the third party involved because when the partner isn't there, it is silent and this increases the singer's feeling of loneliness. When the partner is there, the partner does not seem to not know what he/she wants from the singer (to be the same or to change). |

| Laura Branigan – Self Control Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
The original song is sung by an Italian, singer: Raf. I put the song in the context of the culture and the way of life, in summer, particularly in the 80s. I think it is about a male who is expressing this typical lifestyle of going out in the night,to a trendy bar and/ or discotheque, "letting your hair down", meeting up with the countless beautiful women (especially foreigners on holiday) having your night of passion, and tomorrow is another day. No worries about tomorrow or about getting into a serious relationship. The women you meet in this lifestyle take your self control and day after day you find yourself in the midst of beautiful, made-up (painted girls), wearing white (a fresh summer colour that brings out the best in a woman). If you see the videos you will get the context of what i mean. Nothing to do with prostitutes. Once you go through this phase, you are out from 11 pm till 3 am every day. You have to have lived in Italy, Malta, Spain, Greece... to experience this lifestyle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgJml5mnFhY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TTLEKh0T_g |
