The All-American Rejects – Dance Inside Lyrics 19 years ago
I definitely think this song is about sex. "i'm twisting up when i'm twisted with you", "i'm breathing for two/squeeze so tightly" and "move down to me/slip into you"? I mean, come on. It is SO about sex.

It was done really tastefully, though. It's so beautiful how they describe it. "touch like taste like fire/hands to know what i no longer defend/hands to fuel desire". My god. So beautiful.

I can kind of see it as a "first time" sex thing, but I think it could also be like the boy and the girl are breaking up or are going to be seperated, or maybe they shouldn't be doing this. "i'll be fine, you'll be fine. is this fine? i'm not fine." And the whole "don't waste now, precious time". It all seems like this is their last chance and he's trying to take in every moment before they have to say goodbye. Like it's so great to be making love to this girl, but it also seems very bittersweet and sad.

Am I totally reading this wrong?

A-Ha – Take On Me Lyrics 21 years ago
I think this song is about a guy, who wants a girl, who's not sure that she wants to get into a relationship with said guy. Like when he goes "say after me, it's no better to be safe than sorry." it's like he's telling to take a chance on him.

And I quote:
MESSAGE TO HARRY MANBACK
Hotsy Menshot from Green Jelly (a jokemetal
band in which Maynard debuted as
one of the Three Little Pigs explains:
“The voice on Message to Harry Manback
is my old friend Francesco, (from Rome,
Italy) who would come and live with me and
my old roommate Jerry, off and on. I kicked
him out after he stole some possessions
from Jerry, and he called that night on the
answering machine because he was afraid
of me, and couldn’t threaten me to my face.
He was 6’2” but only weighed 130 pounds
and looked like Ichabod Crane from Sleepy
Hollow. I could’ve broken him like a twig.
He called back again the next morning, and
that message was finally heard on Message
to Harry Manback II on Salival. Anyway,
everyone used to imitate it from my impression,
even though they have never heard it.
Years later, I found the tape and played it for
Figlio di puttana, sai che tu sei un pezzo di
merda?* Hm? You think you’re cool, right?
Hm? When you kicked out people [out
of] your house? I tell you this, one of three
Americans die of cancer, you know? Asshole.
You’re gonna be one of those.
I don’t have the courage to kick your ass
directly. Don’t have enough courage for
that, I could, you know. You know you’re
gonna have another accident? You know I’m
involved with black magic? Fuck you! Die.
Bastard!
You think you’re so cool, hm? Asshole. And
if I ever see your fucking face around, In
Europe or Italy, Well I’ll — That time I’m
gonna kick your ass.
Fuck you! Fucking Americans, Yankee.
You’re gonna die outta cancer, I promise.
Deep pain... No one does what you did to
me. You wanna know something? Fuck you!
I want your balls smashed, eat shit! Bastard!
Pezzo di merda, figlio di puttana.** I hope
somebody in your family dies soon. Crepa,
pezzo di merda, e vai a sucare cazzi su un
aereo!***
* Son of a bitch, do you know you’re a
piece of shit?
** Piece of shit, son of a bitch.
*** Die, piece of shit, and go suck dicks on a
plane!
Maynard, who by this point, was my roommate.
Next thing I knew, a few edits, some
piano ... viola! ... “Harry Manback” is a joke
name from the famous comedian, Bill Hicks
(deceased)”
