| Coldplay – Daylight Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| Great song, one of my favorites on the album, but the lyrics are a bit off. It's hard to get them right, though, since they're so drawn out. Many listenings are necessary. | |
| Paul Simon – Graceland Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
Actually, Simon has said the song really has nothing to do with Elvis, which is why he was hesitant about naming the album (and even the song) Graceland. It's a pilgrimage of sorts...his wife has just left him, and he's taking a bus/train to Graceland with his son. And the journey has something to do with redemption, at least he hopes. The people travelling with him ("ghosts and empty sockets") also look like they need to be redeemed. So it's about turmoil, and how it leads us to flee and seek something to make it better. That's what it is to me. |

| Coldplay – Trouble Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
To me the most clear and poignant song to describe how I once felt...the whole point of a spiderweb is the more you struggle, the more ensnared you become. I told a person to listen to this song once as an apology to them. I was in that sort of situation where the more I tried to fix things the more I screwed them up, until all I could do was say "I'm sorry" as sincerely as I could and walk away. |
