Harry Styles – Fine Line Lyrics

6 years ago

I think this song is about a complicated connection between two people. They're sleeping together, and have deep feelings for each other, but there is also a great deal of resentment and walls up between them. The titular "fine line" is the blurry space that they exist in between friends, lovers, and a true relationship. Though they both seem to want to keep it casual, they're constantly walking that fine line.By the end of the song, he accepts that he simply cannot define what they have together, and that's alright.

Taylor Swift – It's Nice to Have a Friend Lyrics

6 years ago

A sweet song about a lifelong friendship that eventually develops into a romantic relationship. At the start of the song, the two people are just kids without a care in the world. Then in the second verse, we revisit them in their teens when life has gotten more complicated, but their tight bond remains. Then finally, we get a glimpse of them as adults getting married. Despite becoming husband and wife, at it's core their relationship is a solid friendship both can always depend on.

The National – Carin at the Liquor Store Lyrics

7 years ago

A really sweet and sad song. I think it is about reflecting on a love that you screwed up. He feels an immense amount of guilt and regret about the way that things played out, and tells his ex to "blame it all on me." Though the song is fairly bleak overall, it seems like there is a glimmer of hope at the end that perhaps this former love will forgive him for past transgressions and "see him in a different light."

Lorde – Green Light Lyrics

8 years ago

To me, this song is about that confusing time right after a breakup. You're angry, you're hurt, and you so desperately want to prove to yourself and the rest of the world that you're moving on. With both the song and the video, Lorde really nails those incredibly conflicted feelings that come in waves. One second you're happy and really feeling like you're moving forward, and then the next second a memory hits and you long for the past. It's about waiting for that "green light" moment when you finally move on, once and for all.

Taylor Swift – Style Lyrics

11 years ago

I think this song is basically about being drawn to someone. It's not just a physical attraction, but also an emotional pull. In theory you fit together perfectly, but every time you get together it just ends badly. I think the part at the end where she screams "take me home" is her telling the guy she's had enough, she's not going round and round anymore, and she really does want him to take her home.
