| Alex Clare – Whispering Lyrics | 1 year ago |

I believe this song is an analogy between Autumn and Thanotos; the Greek god of death. Thanatos would carry those whose time had passed into the underworld. The calming caretaker of the falling. "Whispering" is a metaphor for fading away. "Who will care for the falling?" "Autumn shades, calm my shaking hands" "Suddenly here. When I want to scream, Autumn calms me down, leaves me in my dreams" -- the eternal sleep. |

| Duncan Sheik – Mouth On Fire Lyrics | 1 year ago |

It's about the the paradox of wanting. His desire drives him and, in the end, consumes all he'd hoped to gain. Nothing remains, but the desire itself. "I brought my heart to feed, but my mouth was fire" One seeks to fill the soul, and the heart, but the "mouth on fire" (desire) is all consuming and leaves nothing for the body. When all is finished: all hopes and dreams remain as they were from the beginning. A chasing after the wind (Ecclesiastes). |
