| Saliva – Always Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| I always thought the chorus lyrics were "I just can't take anymore this LACK of solitude" because it seems like this person he's in love with is always around or always on his mind and constantly sending mixed signals. I don't know, that's the way the song has always been to me since I was young. It's been years but I "always" felt like this was a song about being suffocated by your romance with someone and never being able to think clearly. | |
| Brand New – Sink Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| @[h2big:25242] I think either about betrayal of trust or perhaps letting go of a friendship/relationship with someone who is constantly hopeless or self-destructive. | |
| Jason Isbell – Cover Me Up Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
First off - I FUCKING LOVE this song. I love the acoustic guitar and the little slide parts too. I miss Jason Isbell in Drive-By Truckers but I think he's really done a fantastic job on his own and with the 400 Unit. To me this song is not just a love song but it also is one of those love songs that delivers a message of "we need to sort this out" or "can't you see we're supposed to be together?" The singer describes himself as someone who's constantly dodging falling in love because he doesn't trust anyone, but then this woman comes into his life and she changes everything. He no longer wishes to live the careless, reckless life he was leading before and vows to set himself straight for this woman. (And the old lover's sing “I thought it'd be me who helped him get home” But home was a dream One I'd never seen till you came along) His former lovers are nothing in comparison to this woman and therefore he doesn't want either of them to change or go anywhere until he can make her realize that she's all he wants. He's willing to do whatever it takes to make things right. "Cover me up and know you're enough To use me for good" The first time I heard this song I was staying out of town to be in a friend's wedding. The girl I love hadn't been talking to me for quite some time and had pretty much disappeared from my life. I had a lot on my mind during that weekend between having to prepare a speech for the wedding and still trying to break through to her. I heard this song and included it on a playlist to share with her. I don't know if this particular song struck the same chord with her as it did with me but I can say that we started talking again. Sometimes you just have to lay it all out there and that's what Jason Isbell is doing in this song. Such a fantastic tune. |

| Jason Molina – Long Desert Train Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
I believe this song is addressed to a friend, family member, or a former lover. This person was once cheerful, easy-going, and loving but then they slowly started to succumb to something like depression, addiction, or maybe a disease. They never really mentioned their worsening problems but it started to become apparent to the writer that something was wrong. The writer tried to comfort this person by telling them there "things you can't change" but their loved one only saw that as the "curse of a human's life." That person felt as if they would never be enough for what or who they wanted in life (or old/young/tall/thin/smart/brave/rich/pretty/strong/ or good enough) but the writer assured that they are more than enough. Refusing to believe this, they started to consider giving up ("you wanted silence/peace by itself") and ultimately the depression and emptiness drove that person to abandon everything they knew either mentally or physically ("you caught the last car in the long desert train") and ultimately this person disappeared and maybe even took their own life. They almost made it. That's my interpretation of the song. The music is so simple yet the lyrics are very emotional and personal. I feel as if I'm going through this now with a lover I'm afraid to lose to the same circumstances. Jason Molina was one hell of a song writer. RIP. |
