| The Cure – Harold and Joe Lyrics
| 2 years ago

I think this song is about someone who is tripped up by someone else, but they are having trouble admitting it. He doesn't want to admit that someone else has the power to – is – taking over his world. It's love and it's fantastic, but brings with it feelings and changes to the status quo of things and that, to the singer is scary/daunting, thus the need to insist everything is fine "nothing ever loses me sleep," etc. etc. I also thought I heard that "Harold and Joe" was an old TV show in the UK; if that's the case, maybe the singer in the song is going through the above,but zoning out to the "Harold & Joe" television show, thereby feeding his pretense everything is fine. |

| Deerheart – Breakdown Lyrics
| 4 years ago

I think it's about a relationship between two people who love each other deeply. Despite their deep love for each other, they can't be together. The narrator has been growing and changing, and the person to whom they sing has stopped growing (at least from the narrator's perspective). It's definitely over. "There's nothing we could do to get past this," the narrator sings. "Our time has moved passed us." So the narrator is 100% set on closing the door and is saying that it's time to "move from where we stand" and "see what we don't want to see." In other words, no longer wait for the "right time" – the narrator is making NOW the time they look at the inevitable truth they both know but haven't dealt with yet, as the narrator needs to feel strong without the 'you" in the song.
So it's a very sweet goodbye song, fascinating because the narrator still deeply loves the person they're writing about. So this song is about breaking down – determining the hows, whats, whens, wheres and whys – of their broken relationship, i.e., the breakdown. |

My interpretation of the song is quite different, in that being "dancer" as opposed to human epitomizes going beyond our "humanness" -- going beyond our perceived limitations -- to be something more, something like a dancer. Dancing embodies freedom, letting go, doing the extraordinary, being a marvel. I think it's better to be dancer than human and we all should try to do that as to maximize our greatest potential. |

I think this song is about selling out and settling that we all do to varying degrees as to avoid the alarms and surprises that invariably come with a passion-filled heart-led honest life. |
