| The B-52's – Rock Lobster Lyrics

im very confused about this song and for a time i rationalized it was about getting an STD, or at the very least, the term rock lobster being a term for an STD. if i listened to more B-52s i could probably get a better idea where theyre coming from. nowadays im thinking the innuedos are just general a reference to sex somewhat but for the most part its all just fun words that go with the melody. just a silly bouncy song. maybe the best silly bouncy song. all things considered a true american classic at least. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Stable Song Lyrics
| 8 years ago
|
ive always took this song to mean someone who is greiving a loss and internalizing the pain and pretending its no big deal. thats where the title originates from i think. most all of us are carrying emotional wounds that we wanna pretend is not there and we can brush it off cause we're stable and stuff but on the inside youre not stable at all. you just cant think about it. you need distractions. rows of houses,breathing, whatever whatever.
the last line 'the gift of memory is an awful curse with age that gets much worse, i wont mind". ive often wondered if this sentiment is referring to dementia, specifically forgetting things that hurt. theres another song thats really old from like the 60s or something that makes this point more clearly and concise. something about walking through his home town and realizing he forgot so many things he cant remember and saying "how lucky can one guy get?". i think the repeating "i wont mind" isnt something said to the listener. its affirmation for himself. |

| Franz Ferdinand – 40 Ft. Lyrics
| 8 years ago

ive always seen it as an intrepidation of suicide. like, im got all the way up here, theres nothing stopping me but im hung up seafoam and how my body feels inside and im taking note every little detail around me putting off what im here for. theres nothing but 40ft that remains however ill looking till im not only sunburnt but cold as well. la la la. only one thing to do now. only 40 feet remain and im done.
alternatively, it could be a gruesome detail of whats left after being torn to shreds jumping on some rocks. |
