Taylor Swift – You're Losing Me Lyrics 2 years ago
This song is about a relationship going through difficult times.

There’s failure on both sides… the singers failure to communicate clearly and the person she’s with who fails to read the non verbal signs.

Specially this relationship is about a people pleaser who hasn’t learned to clearly communicate the challenges she’s feeling with her partner and what she needs from him, but expects him to see all the signs, read her mind. And by the time she calls it quits , it’s already too late. Her heart for him is dead.

She works hard at making his life easier, better (typical people pleasing behavior), she feels like a solider fighting for their relationship. She’s in pain, and she’s hoping her partner would also see that. But she’s scared to share what she’s feeling because she believes her needs, emotions and thoughts are overwhelming, an imposition.

The partner might’ve been super busy with other things to even recognize how she’s looking/feeling (so she doesn’t feel seen).


Combine a person who doesn’t communicate clearly, and a person who isn’t paying attention or is ignoring the signs… you get a relationship that is failing snd

“ You say, "I don't understand," and I say, "I know you don't"”

Graham Nash – Better Days Lyrics 2 years ago
It’s a song about a singer who’s telling himself to live in reality.

His former lover left him, and he’s been searching for the truth, proof that his former lover actually loved him and still does.

When he sees that she finally admits to loving him (that’s where he wants to be, is to be with her when she admits to loving him), it’s too late/it’s not where he belongs… she’s just going through the grieving process, and looking within herself (chasing mirrors/finding herself).

DJ Tiesto – Jackie Chan Lyrics 2 years ago
To me this song is about an independent lady who likes to have fun with her friends, and she doesn’t wanna get tied down. the singer is crazy about her and wants to have a good time with her.

Cigarettes After Sex – Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby Lyrics 3 years ago
To me this song feels reassuring. For some people who often feel scared of being hurt, this person gives the reassurance and to help them let their guard down. I mean, who can really promise that? I don’t think anyone can. But at least the intention of acting in the best interest of his lover, I think it’s a sweet song.

Kate Bush – Cloudbusting Lyrics 4 years ago
I interpret the song as this: a child’s father may have been dangerous or was involved in some illegal activity. The child, who looks up to the father, tries to forget the dangerous aspects of the father and loves him unconditionally. One day the police shows up at the door looking for the child’s father. The child tries to hide any evidence to protect the father, but the father is taken away. The child is hopeful that their father will return... like a yo yo.

The Cure – The Same Deep Water as You Lyrics 5 years ago
I think this song is about a man trying to appease his lover who happens to be a manipulator. The man is trying to give everything he can to make his partner happy, but makes him feel worse in doing so. The manipulator is to convince the man to give up something, either it's his life, his will, himself, who he is, his other lover, his passion, whatever it is...

"and we shall be together".

Crowded House – Mean To Me Lyrics 6 years ago
Actual lyrics:

She came all the way from America
She had a blind date with destiny
And the sound of Te Awamutu
Had a truly sacred ring
Now her parents
Are divorced
And her friend's committing suicide

I could not escape
A plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
She said don't walk away
I'm down on my knees
So please don't be mean to me

So I talked to you for an hour
In the bar of a small town hotel
And you asked me what I was thinking
I was thinking of a padded cell
With a black and white T.V
To stop us from getting lonely

I could not escape
A plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
You said don't walk away
I'm down on my knees
So please don't be mean to me

You know I could not escape
A plea from the heart
Mysterious sympathy
I couldn't wait for a chance
Walk out the door
You know what it means to me

I...
I...

I saw you lying in the arms of a poet
I
I heard him tell you ta...tantalizing
Lies
What'd'ya know
Whad'd'ya know

I could not escape
You're down on the floor
You know what it means to me
I couldn't wait for a chance
Walk out the door
Mean...
Mean...
I could not escape
Down on my knees
You know what it means

What it means
What it means

In the arms of a poet
You know what it means

@[fromadistantsun:31797] Agree with your thoughts. The song has a melancholy sound to it... doesn't sit well for a positive love song.

Andy Shauf – The Magician Lyrics 6 years ago
I think the song is about someone who is struggling with a problem in life, and as a way to deal with the problem, the person tries to make it disappear. Forget about it. Erase it. Run away from it, without thinking about the consequences or the reasons this situation bothers him ("just a shaking hand without a concrete plan"). But the problem re-appears, despite his numerous attempts to get away. It continues to catch up to him no matter what he does to run away from his problems ("you'll see him sweat the most each time his options disappear").
