Modest Mouse – She Ionizes and Atomizes Lyrics 22 years ago
"he realizes and itemizes
pulls harder than gravity"

he knows she's somewhat untouchable for the moment and he's "itemizing" i.e. getting his priorities in order. obviously she comes in high on the list since he's pulling harder than gravity.


"flourescent lightbulbs will make
and absense of dark, but
the light just aint there still and she said
'i'm feeling empty,
the real lights can make you heavy but
never ever really empty
flourescent lights will always equal empty.' "

that's talking about no matter how many lightbulbs you have, artificial light is not even half as good or wanted or needed as actual sunlight.

Thursday – I Am The Killer Lyrics 22 years ago
what the fuck? geoff said it was about how he got mugged and then killed one of the two guys in defense with a pair of sisscors in the lower neck: thus the song being about responsibility like he usually explains before the song during a show.

Sunny Day Real Estate – Television Lyrics 23 years ago
It seems to be talking about feeling empty with someone he's addicted to - beside the obvious metaphor about television, it seems like no matter how many times he's with her, the same thing repeats and when he or she leaves, it's the same shallow feeling.

Bright Eyes – Going for the Gold Lyrics 23 years ago
"and now to me, like everything else it just seems like a lie."

i can relate to pessimism.

when i hear those few lines of chords when he is not singing, the ones that are highest and stand out, and are so simple yet so perfect, i can feel my heart break.

i can't explain it, but i just want to melt into this song.

you know that feeling, when you've broken with awful news, and they just come
it swallows you and then spills your blood over you like paint.

the painful realization that all has gone wrong"

Our Lady Peace – Are You Sad? Lyrics 23 years ago
i think this is about losing someone to depression

when you lose someone to suicide, it's like you can do nothing to help them

'stop pretending when they say you're nothing' someone is obviously bothered by insults/etc. from other people

trying to help someone but watching them slip away

Alanis Morissette – Narcissus Lyrics 23 years ago
Two words and maybe some more after that: I know. I used to hate this song. But now I actually relate to it, cause I dated a guy like this. He literally moves on to a different girl every let's say... four days. We went out four times. I'm an idiot. It's interesting to see how many songs you don't understand, and then you wait a while, and look back to them and you can really relate.

Homesick for Space – Days Like Shadows Lyrics 23 years ago
to me, it's like passing through the days like water, spilling onto the concrete from a thermos

it's needing change
