| Beach House – Over and Over Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
Just lovely. Makes me think of: 1) How it might be to float above the earth on the last night of existence 2) Ending credits to an epic film 3) An old memory of leaving a dance club at 1am in Ithaca, NY, and watching as the falling rain was reflected in the streetlights surrounding me. |

| Angel Olsen – Unfucktheworld Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
For my own personal reasons, these lines always hit me the most: It's not just me for you I have to look out too I have to save my life I need some peace of mind Reminds me of a time in my life in which my former partner was in need of care... but I couldn't give him everything he needed, and he didn't reliably seek/have support from other sources. Unfortunately, he became increasingly aggressive toward me, to the point at which I felt I had to leave. I also was not the epitome of mental health at the time, and leaving him allowed me to become more stabilized. In any event, it was heartbreaking; but I think that in the end, it was better for both of us. |

| Julia Holter – Night Song Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
*Trigger warning* I'm not certain if this was Julia's intention, but her words remind me of an unhealthy relationship that I was in at one point in my life. "My eyes open, standing watch for hours Wearing your favorite thing" He always wanted me (demanded me) to wear certain items of clothing, and "my eyes open, standing watch for hours" reminds me of the constant vigilance that I had to maintain in order to ensure that he was always placated. "Show me how you make your second face" This line reminds me of his duplicity... One moment, he idolized me, and the next, he was unsatisfied or enraged with me. Additionally, whenever we were arguing, he made the appearance of being calm and collected in public, but would be angry and belittling the moment we were alone. In Julia's words, I can see her asking the subject of her lyric to show her (his/her) inner self, the "second face" hidden from the public. "What did I do to make you feel so bad? What did I do that you would make me feel so bad?" Fairly self-explanatory I think, but for me personally, it reminds me of all the times that he would manipulate me with the "silent treatment", leaving me to wonder what I did to "make" him feel so upset. After years away from him though, I now know that people are in charge of their own emotions, and that nothing I could have done would have been able to satisfy him ultimately. Thank you for the lyric, Julia. |

According to google translate: He runs up in black recompense To the old inn The words all recovered take To the ground, they dropped Sing it out Sing those scenery away And our tears Recover them Who would look at us We are positioned on the face When all goes black is forgiven To the old inn Sing it out Sing those scenery away And our tears Recover them |

| Julia Holter – Have You In My Wilderness Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
Such a surreal, simple yet enigmatic song. Julia's voice captures the man's longing... I also wonder whether his "Lady of gold" is a metaphor- is she a real woman, or the man's idealisation of one that he can never possess? The fact that he says that she would "fit beautiful in (his) wilderness" make me think that he is not interested in the Lady as a tangible person, but rather in what she represents for him aesthetically/idealistically. If she is real (and not simply a creature of his own mind), I could understand why she would be running away. |
