Box Car Racer – Instrumental Lyrics 23 years ago
The lyrics are so inspiring. When I first heard this I was like..."Wow, the lyrics to this song just put everything into perspective. My life now has meaning." The song seems to depict a struggle between a man and his self. He doesn't knw whether to have cheese and ham sandwiches or cheese and tomato. Its haunting him and he doesn't know which decision is the right one.

Millencolin – Black Eye Lyrics 23 years ago
For me this song is about a relationship. The guy in the relationship has made some really stupid mistakes and always got jealous but didn’t realise how great his girlfriend is. But he’s certain that his girlfriend knows that the way he’s acting isn’t really him and that he wants to change.

Box Car Racer – The End With You Lyrics 23 years ago
I think this song is about the end of the world and someone who is totally in love is asking god for more time with there loved one because he loves them so much. Also the relationship is so strong that only the end of the world can come between them.

Box Car Racer – There Is Lyrics 23 years ago
I think this song is about a guy who found out someone else who was in love with his girlfriend and got so worked up and insecure that his jealousy took over and convinced himself she was having an affair. And although this girl likes the other guy she is in love with him and would never cheat on him. He is remembering the goo times and asking her if she will think of him even though he has done wrong

Box Car Racer – Watch The World Lyrics 23 years ago
I think that this song is about the world in general looking towards the next generation of people knowing that they have destroyed the once beautiful world.:-
“I watched the smoke
as it grew darker
and blew up through the roof
I watched the fad
who sobbed in panic
as the fire grew
I saw Virginia
get rid of langly, and it's secrets too”
And is written from the view of someone who just sat back with his lover to watch the world destroy itself, all the while knowing that the only harmony on earth is that of him and his lover. :-
“I held your hand
and sat there knowing
that we'd make it through”
He also talks about what he wishes the world would do as he dreams of it.:-
I saw this man
dispose of hunger
and soap opera too
I saw this field
that grew perfection
full of things you do
I saw this box
get rid of heartache
and cure cancer too
when I awoke
I sat there hoping
this is what we'll do”
He also writes that the world should regret what they have done and expresses this by saying they should write letters to the next generation of people:-
if we can
we will leave our letter and this song, for you
we'll write, once a day
and float it through the sea, to you
we'll regret, all those things we thought of but didn't ever do
if we can, we will leave our letter and this song, for you
and we'll write, once a day
and float it through the sea, to you
we'll regret, all those things we thought of but didn't ever do
And finishes off by singing that after everything that happened and all the dust has settled the only two people worth knowing are him and his lover:-
when the sky, seems to clear
who will then be left, but a few, me and you

Idlewild – You Held The World In Your Arms Lyrics 23 years ago
For me this song is perfect for the time I broke up with my girlfriend, we are back together though. The first verse is going on about everything seems different and has changed in just the one day that we broke up. The chorus is just saying that you have lost something so dear to you and that for a period, when you hugged, you held the world in your arms. My girlfriend is my world and when I do hug her I hold the world in arms. The second verse is about the fact that no matter what you do you can’t get over that special someone. No matter how hard you try it is impossible.
That is what the song means to me and everytime I hear I think about when we did break up.

Idlewild – American English Lyrics 23 years ago
For me this song means something totally different to what has already been said. For me it is talking about the crippling state of the music industry and how all these new bands get into music for the wrong reason. It’s complaining that all these bands just contract the American dream to be rich and famous and not just great musical artists. Songs should be personal and written to be global like most pop songs. Roddy expresses this in the line “Sing a song about myself” and when he sings “not some invisible world” he is saying you shouldn’t make songs out of meaningless situations you have thought up but your own experiences.
“So you let me hear songs that were written all about you,
The good songs weren't written for you,
They'll never be about you.” – This is about those songs which artists sing from a personal point of view but aren’t actually personal, just fictional stories.
“And i won't tell you what this means,
'Cos you already know,” - This line is him talking to those bands. Saying those bands know who and what they and no-one should have to tell them they are fake because deep down they already know it.
