The Postal Service – Nothing Better Lyrics

21 years ago

This song starts off with pretty standard emo imagery, "crack my ribs and repair this broken heart," from a broken hearted boy commited to a relationship to the bitter end and willing to do anything to save it. but it goes on in a way that i think is pretty original for emo lyricists - with the introduction of the female vocalist, "I feel I must interject here," we hear the motivations of the heartbreaker, the calculated, realistic, departing female speaking up in her own defense. I think this rarely seen point-of-view makes this song powerful. we can see the complications of romantic relationships, the conflicts that occur when one partner is seeing everything through rose-colored glasses and another is trying to map out issues of the heart as if they were math functions. it helps us to sympathize for the heartbroken lover who is attempting to do anything to hold on by combating cold, pessimistic discontent with heartfelt idealism. What does the dialogue do for you? Does it make you hate the girl for being so heartless? Does it make you think about how complicated love can be? Does it make you wanna say "get over it!" to the overly emotional broken-hearted? Please tell me what it makes you think...

Radiohead – Karma Police Lyrics

22 years ago

OK Computer is like waking up early on a sunday morning. The smell of not-quite-dusk in the air, you wipe the morning from your eyes, start the car, and turn the radio up. You and your machine hit the street, and it's too fucking early to think about anything, you just know that you've got to start south, because even though she doesn't know it, she's waiting for you. The sky, the road, your head, it's all a hazy grey as the sun takes its time. Wouldn't it be nice if you could drive so fast that the sun never came up? And as you glide by, the hills remind you of the night before, the shit you pulled, and it almost makes you sick. This is gonna be a long drive. Thank God.

Radiohead – High and Dry Lyrics

22 years ago

The Bends is like the ocean at a little lonely beach in Santa Cruz, on a starlit night, all by yourself. You see the stars dance and play on the water's face, you hear the rush of the tide, but is it high or low? You don't know, but you test the water, feel its steel coldness. You're scared, but the tempation of finally feeling something new and fresh is too enticing, so you venture further. The water pulls and pushes at your feet, and as they go numb, the tears well up inside you and you dive in. And the stars play on your face, and the waves take you away.
