| Moby – South Side Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
"'South Side' oddly enough is my least favorite song on the record. I just don't think it's all that interesting. My favorite thing about 'South Side' is the subject matter. It's essentially a song about abject amorality. I love that it's a happy sing-along pop song about kids that become so inured to violence and become so desensitized that nothing gets through to them. It's about people who have become so over-exposed to stimuli that nothing matters to them anymore. I like the idea of having subtle, very disturbing lyrics hidden in a happy-friendly pop song. And I also like the fact that no one stopped to listen to the lyrics — which is fine with me." -Moby http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/play-10-years-later-mobys-track-by-track-guide-to-1999s-global-smash-20090702 |

| Real Estate – Talking Backwards Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I think the song is about the writer's inability to convey his feelings without saying "I love you" to his girlfriend He is trying to explain his feelings for her but might as well be talking backwards because the "only thing that really matters" to his girlfriend is hearing I love you and that "is the one thing that (he) can't seem to do" Also the imagery of war in the song is over him saying the words and "the line (that) is still engaged" is the metaphorical line of him saying I love you and she is "too many miles away" meaning she is set on him saying it no matter what other words he uses to express his affection |
