| Crash Test Dummies – Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I noticed something interesting in the lyrics: The first verse is about a kid ("once there was this kid who" ), the second is about a girl ("once there was this girl who" ) and the third is about a boy ("once there was this boy whose") but doesn't that mean that the lines: "But both the girl and boy were glad Cause one kid had it worse than that" are suggesting that the child in the first verse (the kid) has it the worst? |

| The Smiths – This Charming Man Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I always got the impression that this song is autobiographical and Morrissey used to be the boy on the bycicle. Despite the stanza: "Ah ! A jumped-up pantry boy Who never knew his place He said "return the ring" He knows so much about these things He knows so much about these things" I find these lyrics to be pretty self explanatory. |

| Then this song came out I was 13 and back then I felt like this song. I didn't paid much attention to the lyrics but the sad vibes of the song somehow described the feelings I had back then. | |
| Birdy – Strange Birds Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Then you listen to the song you notice that she also sings ("You and me we know everything" through the end) I think this song is about lies and someone that knows the truth and wants it to be seen. Maybe this person is a part of a hidden truth: "Unlike most you don't miss a thing, You see the truth I walk the halls invisibly, I climb the walls, no one sees me, No one but you." If people saw the truth they would also see her. Whoever her is. She wants to be seen and heard but people are deceived by a lie and therefore can't. "Oh little ghost, you see the pain" There is also a lot of pain involved. "We fill the gaps, you and me make three I was meant for you, and you for me" Whenever I hear this part of the song I have to think about a parent and child relationship. A mother, a father and a child makes three. Has the singer been adopted? Is it possible that her own parents don't know about her existence anymore? This makes my heart ache. I feel like I know the truth but at the same time it doesn't make any sense to me. I was just thinking: Could this be about a child that has been aborted? My heart says it isn't. My heart says it is... I can't reveal it. This is making me very emotional. My heart wants to speak but I am too afraid. Too afraid that I have gone insane. |

| The Smiths – Back to the Old House Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
It is a very well hidden secret that Morrissey is an ET and this song describes the destruction of his home planet. The old house is probably his old house on his old home planet but it could also be a metaphor of the planet itself. "There's too many Bad memories Too many memories " = Morrissey is still having many bad memories from the time he lived on the planet. "When you cycled by Here began all my dreams The saddest thing I've ever seen And you never knew How much I really liked you Because I never even told you Oh, and I meant to Are you still there ? Or...have you moved away ? Or have you moved away ? " This stanca is about someone who didn't survive the destruction of the planet. I imagine that Morrisey had a car or motorcycle in which he drove to the next spaceship port to fly away in time. The person he is singing about did not had a car or enough money to take public transportation but was so poor they only owned a bycicle. So therefore he couldn't make it in time. He was still on the planet when it broke apart. Morrisey has never seen the dead body of said person and there never was a grave because the body had been tossed into space. Therefore it feels to Morrisey as if the person would still be where he last saw them. "I would love to go Back to the old house But I never will I never will... I never will... I never will..." Morrissey would love to go back to his old home just to meet the person who was somehow close to him but didn't survive the destruction of the planet. But Morrissey knows he will never be able to go back because only meteroites are left of his old home planet. It is a very sad song. |

| Joanna Newsom – Kingfisher Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Add: "I know you; you know me Where have we met before, tell me true? To whose authority Do you consign your soul? I had a dream you came to me Sayin', you shall not do me harm anymore And with your knife you evicted my life From its little lighthouse on the seashore And I saw that my blood had no bounds Spreading in a circle like an atom bomb Soaking and felling everything in it's path And it well in my heart like a birdbath" Does this mean that her past life lover sold their soul but since the two of them are soulmates his fame is at the cost of hers. And therefore her life gets empty as if it was under a curse. And since she can't take it anymore after all this years her pain is an thelepathic way inflicted on others. Like invisible flows of energy. While she stays completely calm. Just a theory. |

| Joanna Newsom – Kingfisher Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think that this song thematises (among others) reincarnation and the singer is singing about someone who was her lover in a past life: "In this life who did you love Beneath the drifting ashes?" "In this new life where did you crouch When the sky had set to boiling?" "Stand here and name the one you loved Beneath the drifting ashes And in naming, rise above time As it, flashing, passes" "I know you; you know me Where have we met before, tell me true?" BTW: The kingfisher could be the same as the Fisher King in the legend of Parcival. "To whose authority do you consign your soul?" Is this asked towards the kingfisher? Are the kingfisher and her past life lover the same? Or is the past life lover someone completely different? I wonder Joanna Newsom or whoever wrote the lyrics really wrote it from their very own experience. It could be about someone else than Joanna Newsom. Do you know what I mean? |

| Snowy White – Bird Of Paradise Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
The first strophes makes it seem that the singer is singing of a person that is a "free spirit". This independent person grew very close too the singer but he left him after being with him for a very short period of time. The verses "When will you come again so I can watch you play in the pouring rain" on the other hand gives us the hint that the bird Snowy White is singing about is actually a child. Why isn't the child with the singer anymore? Has he given it away? Was it kidnapped? Did it die? The third seems to be the most likely because the bird left the singer and not the other way round. And it left free willingly. What does the pouring rain symbolise? It usually symbolises sadness but wouldn't the singer be happy if he could see the child again? This song is confusing me. |

| Cyndi Lauper – Time After Time Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think this song is about god and his relationship to us. Some verses are from the perseptive of the human while others are from the perspective of god. Maybe like a duet between god and a human being. The first four verses "Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick, And think of you Caught up in circles Confusion is nothing new" are describing the human experience while living on this earth. "Suitcases of memories, Time after" Could refer to what souls are experiencing after they human body has died. "Almost left behind" could in that case refer to many people having almost seperated themseleves from god by the time they are dieing. But the seperation is only almost. "Sometimes you picture me" is refering to people making themselves pictures of god. The refrain "If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting Time after time" is god telling us that he will be waiting for us after we have died. No matter what. Maybe we have to look for him at first but we will definitely find him. Falling might symbolise dieing in this song. |
