| Russian Red – Loving Strangers Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| For me, this song is not only about loving a stranger, but also about how easy it is to fall in love with someone when we are blue and fragile. In verse 1, the line “I’ve got a hole in my pocket/ Where all the money has gone” gives a picture of a homeless girl by the street. She doesn’t belong to anyone and she has no friends or family to be with. Then, this stranger just comes into her sight and changes everything.

| Russian Red – The Memory Is Cruel Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| In “you’re staying in the house/ Where she’s going to live forever,” the “she” refers to the memory of his lover. Even though she has left, her memories still lingers in the house, reminding the him of all their past and how good she used to be.

| Snow Patrol – Those Distant Bells Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
“The dark never enters/ But it also never leaves” suggests that the problem does not come from the external, but it exist from within, which is why he cannot solve it. Perhaps the speaker does not love his wife as much or the other way around. “This spark that he gave you/ Is just an ember all but out” suggests that he cannot feel the sparks between them anymore; now the sparks become merely embers, and he is stuck in between, not knowing what to do, to endure the bitter marriage for his children or to let it go?

| Eagles – Hotel California Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
“We are all just prisoners here of our own device” summarizes the entire song, referring to the greed that drives people to the world of hedonism. They pursue material things and drugs out of their own will. No one forces them to do so; they are the prisoners of the dungeon created by themselves. Maybe they do not mean to decade like this, and sometimes the prisoners may want to turn over a new leaf. However, “they stab it with their steely knives but they just can’t kill the beast.” They may have the thoughts to stab the greed inside them, yet they can never kill them.

| Rachael Yamagata – Duet Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
Duet is about two lovers who love each other so much, but have to part because they both have their own career to pursue. In order not to become each other's fetter in the way of pursuing their dreams, they decide to separate temporarily, and once they fulfill their dreams, they'll come back home to finish their mutual dream: to love each other and be together happily ever after, which is "the things we should have done."

| Angus and Julia Stone – The Devil's Tears Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
He feels that he is seduced by a devil, which stands for all the taboos in society, like crime, lechery, or drugs. “And we’ll make many storms/ He offered me the universe” suggests that the devil promises him lots of things which give him temporary happiness. However, “inside my heart there’s a picture of a girl,” deep in his heart, he hasn’t forget the girl he loves. He does all this bad things not because he is a villain, but he is suffering from lovesick and only by being with the devil can he forget the pain of losing the girl.

| Angus and Julia Stone – Santa Monica Dream Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
Santa Monica is a famous holiday resort in California with a beach and a huge entertainment park. I suppose Angus and Julia Stone uses this place as the title of the song because of the entertainment park, which symbolizes the innocent and carefree dream of children. In their childhood dreams, they don’t need to worry about anything other than “stories of the sea,” “the roses on your street,” and “the paintings on your wall.” It’s the purest dream they could ever have.

| Rachael Yamagata – Over and Over Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
In order to forget him, she needs to give up a part of herself because they used to be so close that he is like a part of her. She has to stand in the rain and let the heavy rain take the sad (and happy) memories with him away. “I will sink down/ And you’ll be washed away/You’ll be washed away” means that only when she sinks and a part of her disappears can she totally forget him. She’ll give up this part of her soul as a gift of his funeral (of course metaphorically). After this ceremony, hopefully he will be washed away, so that she can finally continue her life without him.

| Snow Patrol – Set the Fire to the Third Bar Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
The title “Set The Fire To The Third Bar” not only means to keep each other warm and loved beside the fireplace, but also to make love since they’re full of burning desire. The "bar" has two meanings, first the place people drink, second the button on an electric heater. Here's my interpretation of the song: https://en.lineday.co/snow-patrol-set-fire-third-bar-lyrics-meaning/ |

I’ve always loved the songs that tell a story instead of simply saying how much who loves who or how deeply who hurts who. Snow Patrol’s Run happened to accompany me through a tough time in my life. Here's my interpretation of the song: https://en.lineday.co/snow-patrol-run-lyrics-meaning/ |

| Passenger – All the Little Lights Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
This song makes me think of a time when I was updating my contacts in my smartphone, I suddenly realized that some people's number or texts only exist in my old phone, not my new one. They are just like the continually darkening lights in my life, and I know one day they'll all burn down, like they've never existed in my life.
