Ryan Adams – The Shadowlands Lyrics 19 years ago
i think the shadowlands would be that place you go to after loss. where everything is just a shadow to your eyes, like its always on the periphery. the first verse just says that she had a rough life. then she's gone, and he's asking god to take care of her, and saying while he takes care of her he'll be forsaken in a hotel room with roaches. he recognizes that "some people never find a love" and he knows that he did, so he "just can be a man" while he mourns in the shadowlands. at least thats my take.

The Velvet Underground – Pale Blue Eyes Lyrics 19 years ago
I was spending the night with a girl I'm unfortunately destined to be friends with, even though i'd prefer more and i'm pretty sure she would too, and this song came on. she just looked at me and smiled. its that one person you love more than anything life can offer, but it just won't ever happen. someday she moves on and gets married, "but it's truly, truly a sin"

The Velvet Underground – After Hours Lyrics 20 years ago
she's already found that person. the party is still going on, he walked her to her room. she invited him in and asked her to close the door, but he won't. if he stays, they'll be together forever in the night and she won't have to deal with the daylight anymore. but she knows he won't stay.
