| They Might Be Giants – The End Of The Tour Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
Ok. WLSD. It may be a religious radio station but the letters LSD are obviously no accident. If anything, the fact that it's a religious radio station serves to make it ironic.
To me, this song is just about the scene being over. Haven't you ever just been at a show and thought: I've seen every one of these people before doing all of these things before? And the LSD reference and the 'driving themselves to distraction' line backs it up too. Everyone's just all wacked out and in the beginning, that seems like something fresh and new. But after a while getting into that kind of lifestyle, it's not new anymore. And at that point, hopefully there's a knock at your door. So your picture can abruptly change. |

she couldnt get to him...she spent all her time trying to get inside of him, to understand him, to have him trust her, and let her in on his deepest and darkest secrets...but she never got anywhere. her absence isn't going to affect him either way. he'll only care that he's not with somebody...it doesnt matter that he's not with her anymore. |

i think this song is about a friends with benefits situation gone wrong. somebody started to have feelings which as everyone knows is the #1 rule in these kinds of things. they only makeout when nobody's there...and they don't really let anybody know about what they're doing because it's nobody else's business. but then somebody started to feel taken advantage of in the relationship and feels as if s/he is being used by the other person...which s/he is...so why'd you sing with me at all if you knew that you were never going to have feelings for me? question of my life |

i think this song is about someone who always said that she would never care...and she's ended up caring. i think this song is about feeling vulnerable...hence the title "caring is creepy." life would be much simpler if she didn't care, but she does. she knows she should've folded, but she bet anyway...and here she is, in over her head, with too much on the table |

| Counting Crows – Goodnight Elisabeth Lyrics

i have a slightly different take on the song...it's about his life post-elisabeth everything is elisabeth he may be travelling and drinking and sleeping around but elisabeth is everywhere he's waiting for another girl to get undressed and all he can think about is elisabeth maybe the repetition of goodnight elisabeth is his own attempt to convince himself to let go of his memory of her...having just moved away from someone who i care about i can totally relate to this song. i really do love my new city...honestly and truly but he's always this gnawing little voice in the back of my head |

how could no one have commented on this song? this is by far my favorite indigo girls song. to me, it's about second guessing your love for somebody because you are just so different. it's such a strange dichotomy because it's the differences that keep you together, and also the differences that drive you apart. the singer seems to decide she'll let her lover stick around for a while "to meet in the middle of impossibility" unfortunately, in my own life, it didn't end that way |

| Counting Crows – Sullivan Street Lyrics

i think this song is about that awkward stage after you break up with somebody....i know that adam said it's about leaving someone but hear me out like after you and your boyfriend are apart and you want to stay away but there's so much there that you can't help but still feel attached and you want to "take the way home that leads back to sullivan street" and "it's almost everything you need" but not quite bc there is something missing which is why you broke up in the first place but inevitably...your feelings for the person won't go away |

| Ani DiFranco – Both Hands Lyrics

to me....this song is about someone that she loved, someone that she felt a connection to on every level imaginable. i think that the "painting on the wall" is completely metaphorical. the details are going to be forgotten. not only will the forget the good, but also the bad. after they move out, they'll start to forget just how good, or how bad, they had it for a while. they tried and tried but couldn't get anywhere....i know i personally have had relationships where i was crazy about someone but there was something wrong and we both knew it...but we didnt know what it was so we didnt know how to fix it i think that's the kind of relationship ani is talking about |

omg i just typed an entire paragraph and they only put the first line...grrr....and that one line was sarcasm ok starting over.....
to me this song is about caring for someone that has hurt you and not wanting to care (hence the "never really mastered disinterest") it's like you dont want to get hurt but even the possibility of getting hurt by this person is enticing you can't stay away though you know it'll probably just result in more pain...it's kind of duality the one person you love is the one person who continually hurts you....maybe in some masochistic way that's what's keeping you there in the first place....
idk kids just my two cents |

this song reminds me a lot of a situation i'm currently in...this guy and i definitely like each other but it's like neither of us want to be the first to initiate anything....and since in the past he's always been the one to hurt me, i'm waiting for HIM to call my name this time "do you suppose i would come running do you suppose i'd come at all i suppose i would..." that's how i always feel....i try to be hard and pretend like i dont want him around but i know if he called MY name....i'd come running |

if i had to say that one song was me in a nutshell this would be it i was getting with this guy a couple months ago and prom was a week away i was going with one of his friends and he was takin his best friend i was so jealous of their "friendship" 'cuz they were so adorable at the dance....he called me the next day to tell me that they were getting together i listened to this song on repeat for a couple weeks after that it's so funny how music can be so comforting as depressing as this song is--it made me feel better to know other people went through the hell that i did |

i stumbled upon alk3 quite by accident when i hit up the blink concert (mainly to see nfg) and they opened last summer i was blown away especially by this song they've been a constant in my cd player ever since i dont think anyone can help SCREAMING these lyrics when they're drivin or even when they're sitting at home thinkin about how evil males are....haahaahha....or maybe that's just me but either way this song is the best way to say fuck you to an ass hole (and believe me--i used it) |

daddys little defect--i'm right there with you i've been a dashboard fan for as long as i can remember i'll be so upset if the music changes bc they're hittin it big but i'm also excited that more people will be exposed to this amazing band the first time i heard this and "again i go unnoticed" i honestly cried the emotion and brutal honesty in the lyrics is so bittersweet i love being able to relate to people through music so if mtv is going to make it easier for me to do that--more power to em |

i can't even put into words the way this song makes me feel there's just so much passion behind the lyrics and the melody i think that everyone, whether they've had their heart broken or not, can relate to this song his voice is just so emotional that you can't help letting yourself get pulled into his pain i've only recently discovered something corporate but they've already become one of my favorites i'm looking forward to seeing them when they come to cincy |
