| Pete Yorn – For Nancy ('Cos It Already Is) Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
|
I think a girl tells the guy that she cannot date him anymore. This song is his response: he knows that she still wants to be with him, and that they should stay together. "So take your lessons hard and stay with him / And when your car crash comes don‘t be mislead" Those lines are telling the girl to stay with the guy, and even if things start to fall apart, to stay with him, because it is worth it to stay together. |

I think this refers to lost love of any kind. Robert Smith seems to sing about it a lot (another example is "Pictures of You"). It is indeed a very sad song, but so beautiful. |

| Fiona Apple – Shadowboxer Lyrics

|
Lynndrylynn is right.
Fiona has her guard up against this guy, because she knows he is dangerous. He used to be her friend, but she let it become more than just friends, and he hurt her. She is shadowboxing to fight him off when he tries to make another move. |

| Koufax – Going To Happen Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|

This song is about how the band wanted to give up so many times, but kept working. "Don't say that this is never going to happen" is the singer telling a bandmate not to be pessimistic, because he believes in their success. |

| Koufax – Out Of Your Element Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
This song is about giving up on writing "pretty" lyrics/ having writer's block.
"I'm done writing letters with words and rhymes that do read clever." The chorus is talking to another person. It says that, yes, even though you have the right to say what you want, I don't want to hear you say that I am 'out of my element', because I already know this.
"whether or not you were just kidding about when this would all be ending" is about the second person asking the singer when he would get out of his writer's block. the next line is "if we were stock i would be selling." This basically means that it is not going to get better soon, and I know this.
Koufax has some of the best, most realistic lyrics I have ever heard. Most of the lyrics on this album relate to relationships with bandmates and friends, and not so much girlfriends. |

| Koufax – Move Out, Move On Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
I think this song is about the point of life where, after graduating high school, there are a ton of choices and options for a person to make.
Once you are past it, you can look back at it and understand it all. After you move out, things will be better. But when you are in this situation, there are a lot of mood swings and indecision.
"I hope for you this day's coming soon" is saying that I hope you get through this period soon and realize everything. |

| Modest Mouse – Black Cadillacs Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
As far as I can see it, this song definitely has Issac talking about the problems the band was going through. Being in a band becomes more than music, it becomes a game if there are problems with record labels and band members and fame.
"And it's true that the clouds just hung around
Like black Cadillacs outside a funeral "
I think the clouds are the problems, and, like funerals, are unexpected and possibly have no solutions except getting over it.
"And we were laughing at the stars while our feet clung tight to the ground
So pleased with ourselves for using so many verbs and nouns"
I think this is about the band's standing in the music world. They have stayed true to themselves and not sold out, in that they have not settled to writing about completely pointless shit. They still know their roots. |

| Natalie Imbruglia – Don't You Think? Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
|
I don't know if there is a hidden message to this song -- it seems pretty upfront. This is a good example of the fact that Natalie has a brain in her head, unlike many female singers of the 90s. "There's more important things.." than all the shit that people obsess over. It is all propaganda. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – The New Year Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
I saw that last show at Pittsburgh where they opened with this song- it was amazing. It is very uplifting musically. The basic idea is in the first two lines.
"so this is the new year.
and i don't feel any different."
He sees past the crap about the new year being a time for change, to make yourself a better person. It is just an excuse to party. |

chaosfluro24, i think u hit the nail on the head. the 2 people are apart and know they shouldnt be but maybe arent ready to admit it yet and fix things.
So she won’t sleep better alone
And he won’t sleep better alone
No they won’t feel better alone. |

I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
= the love has left their relationship
so sad! but such an awesome song!! |

| Reggie and the Full Effect – Your Bleedin' Heart Lyrics
| 22 years ago
|
i cant believe no one has commented on this song yet!! it is my fave by reggie.
i think its about waking people up to think for themselves and simply be actively thinking and living... that may even mean hurting them --'your heart needs time to bleed' also = wake up and experience things also
best phrase, in this song and perhaps ever:
I'd like to say I'm sorry for intruding
But I'm sick of your eluding
To the fact that growing up is growing numb
(note- yes the above lyrics are wrong. it is growing numb not old. ill fix them if they get servers running.. or someone else can.. whatever)
enjoy being a teenager, it will never happen again that you have this much freedom and so little worries. |

| Tool – Aenema Lyrics
| 22 years ago
|
actually, u know, i think it could be both the human mom and mother nature because "Mom's gonna fix it all soon , Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be" the first part can play on what people think mom will do, and the second is mother nature taking action.
ok i think im done now.
tool rocks my socks, this is one of my fave songs by them and maynards voice is orgasmic. |

i dont think that mom necessarily refers to mother nature, but the fact that we run to our mothers when things get bad, and that mom will fix it,.. maynard is being sarcastic because you cant stop armageddon. thats my opinion. i agree with the basic california is going away thing, and never realized the anima-enema title thing... thats sweet. |

this is definitely an awesome song... i really think Nine Days is one of the best bands out there that didnt make it as far as they should have, but maybe thats for the better. their album 'the madding crowd' is completely wonderful. this song has the best message that sometimes maybe it is better to break up, in order to really see if there is anything to the relationship, if u miss each other, etc. im going through this right now, and i hope he will come back... |

"Youth's the most unfaithful mistress. Still we forge ahead to miss her. ".. this is so so true.
"It's cool to fake romances and grow up fast." the last line sums it all up. i dont think people appreciate being teenagers half as much as they should... almost "adult" with hardly any responsibilities yet... think about it. |

I bought this CD while I was in NYC with my friend Rob... more than a friend i guess, but he moved away before we realized it. After spending 4 solid days and night with him in the city, i cried on the way home listening to this song. It was partly because i was leaving and partly due to the lyrics... this is always the way we act, how we rely on each other when things feel terrible for one of us and everything seems all right. everyone should have that kind of special someone. |
