| The Smashing Pumpkins – Stand Inside Your Love Lyrics
| 7 years ago

Maybe I'm taking the lyrics a little too literally, but it sounds like a person who has killed their lover after realizing they can't be together. "For the last time..." "Your home is here within my heart (and not being alive)" "I'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind. You're mine forever now." I hope the wrapping in wire (or cord) was post mortem because this would be a long and agonizing way to go for sure. I think Corgan literally means wire or cord because if he didn't mean something physical I think he would have used a word like force or spirit. |

| Yeasayer – I Am Chemistry Lyrics
| 8 years ago

This is a powerful and catchy anti-drug song, just like O.N.E. is a great Yeasayer song about giving up alcohol. The video for I Am Chemistry is trippy and creepy and powerful as well. At the end of the video, the people taking the drugs are disintegrating and dying. If they just made a straight anti-drug song, it would be cliché and no one would listen.
The number of sounds, voices and instruments in Yeasayer's music and the melodies they create with them is incredible. If you thought Yeasayer was just an Indy band of the month or the year, well they have proven through their unique sound that they're here to stay. Keep thumping on, Yeasayer! |

| Carbon Leaf – Desperation Song Lyrics

I see the relationship meaning, but to me, this song has a lot of spiritual meaning too. I don't think Carbon Leaf is considered a Christian rock band, but they did do an original Christmas song album. To me, some examples of the religious meaning are - "You thought a better plan could shake this shadow land." (God saying you thought you could replace me in your life), the mention of shadows and shade and going from these to the light, "scorching up the charlatans" (getting rid of false prophets & idols), "Will you stay through the pouring rain?" (Will you stay with God through the hard times), "Ring around the lake" to me is a reference to ring around the rosie. Many think this rhyme is about the plague, which is one of the most difficult times ("pouring rain") in human history when God was needed. The end of the rhyme is and we all fall down, which means to die in the rhyme but could also mean to get on our knees and pray. Great song. |

I had a tough time in high school in the late 90s and this song helped me a lot. I had no idea the meaning was literal. To me, this song captures the 2 sides of life. There's the hectic times when we find ourselves in tough situations and we panic, which is the verses of the song. Then there's the serene peaceful times that we can create if we just take a deep breath, relax, and realize that we can make it through (swim through) the situation, as the chorus perfectly captures. Great song. |
