Jimmy Eat World – Kill Lyrics 15 years ago
=
You're just across the street
Looks a mile to my feet
I want to go to you
Funny how I'm nervous still
I've always been the easy kill
I guess I always will
=

Typical "so close, yet so far" situation. He wants to be with a girl he's already fallen for ("easy kill"), but it's hard to face her because of this. He's the type who falls for girls way too easily, and he accepts that it's a flaw.

=
Could it be that everything goes around by chance
Or only one way that it was always meant to be
You kill me
You always know the perfect thing to say
I know what I should do but I just can't walk away
=

He's questioning the genuine-ness of his feelings of love. Could it be destiny? Or is it just random? In any case, the fact is he loves this girl but at the same time is struggling to get over it (since it is implied that it is unrequited).

=
I can picture your face well
From the bar in my hotel
I wish I'd go to you
I pick up, put down the phone
Like your favorite Heatmiser song goes:
'It's just like being alone...'
=

He thinks about her constantly.

=
Oh God, please don't tell me this has been in vain
I need answers for what all the waiting I've done means
You kill me
You've got some nerve but can't face your mistakes
I know what I should do but I just can't turn away
=

He's hurting badly, he's thought about her for way too long without any reciprocation or signs on her part, and he even crosses the line over to bitterness ("you've got some nerve..."), and he knows he should just forget about it this love and move on.

=
So go on, love
Leave while there's still hope for escape
Got to take what you can these days
There's so much ahead
And so much regret
I know what you want to say
I know it but can't help feeling differently
I loved you
And I should have said it
But tell me
Just what has it ever meant
=

Best verse in the song. This is his final confession to his love. He can't walk away, so he's telling her to get out of his life, implying slightly that being with him would be bad for her anyway ("leave while there's still hope for ESCAPE"... escape implies to get away from something negative). He's being introspective, coming to terms with the reality of the situation ("gotta take what you can these days... so much ahead... regret"). "I know what you want to say" means he already knows she doesn't love him, but next lines just reiterate the hurtful fact that he loves her anyway. "But tell me just what has it ever meant" is him being bitter about love, of course.

=
I can't help it baby
This is who I am
Sorry but I can't just go turn off how I feel
You kill me
You build me up but just to watch me break
I know what I should do but I just can't walk away
=

You build me up but just to watch me break.

"So go on, love
Leave while there's still hope for escape
Got to take what you can these days
There's so much ahead
And so much regret
I know what you want to say
I know it but can't help feeling differently
I loved you
And I should have said it
But tell me
Just what has it ever meant"

One of the best verses of all time. Damn, unrequited love hurts like a bitch.

The Roots – Don't Say Nuthin' Lyrics 19 years ago
The chorus goes:

when the snake on the ground with his nine on the line, with the niggaz who grind with King Kong hittin’ Thailand.
Give it here, and don't say nuthin', just give it here, give it here and don't say nuthin'…
When the team on the set with the guns gone clap, gettin’ down on everything, hm, cut the check. Give it here, give it here and don't say nuthin', I’m sayin… give it here and don't say nuthin'

Daft Punk – Digital Love Lyrics 21 years ago
what bugs me about the song is that in the beginning, it sounds like he is saying: "last night i had to clean my vacuum" or "last night i had to clean my bathroom". it totally ruins the song for me, even though it rocks.

"Right now I don't know what to say, because you're mean and I never liked you anyway." - Caught my attention :-P it's funny to me when lyrics have "you're mean" in them.

Unwritten Law – Seein' Red Lyrics 22 years ago
i like this a lot, but i dont enjoy the chorus very much. its much too loud for my taste compared to the rest of the song, seems out of place.
