Charlotte Martin – Bring On The Day Lyrics 19 years ago
Worst Charlotte Martin ever.
It's about... hhmmm... could it be?.. bringing on the day??
Genius!

Girl-power crap.
Lyrically boring.
Pop pap.

Yawn.

Charlotte Martin – The Dance Lyrics 19 years ago
I adore this song.
So simple but the beautiful harmonies just take it to some other level.

I think it's about the aftermath of a relationship that led to a brief intimacy, which ended the relationship as it used to be...
She recalls it and still feels the need for him, and the regret after him.
He's gone beyond that, left the 'place' she's lingering in where she's still struggling to move on.

That's my understanding anyway.
Regardless, it's one of the best songs on the album.

Oleander – Jimmy Shaker Day Lyrics 20 years ago
Remember the film Ransom (1994?), with Mel Gibson and Rene Russo??
Jimmy Shaker kidnapped their son, and when they got him back, threatened them with "Jimmy Shaker Day" - when he'd finally get the son for good.

I don't know if this is the Jimmy Shaker (Day) in the song, but it could be a good fit...
Anyone?

Athlete – Wires Lyrics 20 years ago
Ok, so this song is about a newborn, his nephew, daughter, whatever.
I love it. LOVE it.
When I first heard it I thought it was about 'his' loved one having tried to kill herself, esp. when I heard the lines about blood on her wrist, and he rushes her to hospital, but they save her.

She'll be alright. This night is like the 1st night of the rest of her life... her new life. That the hope in a plastic box is the machine they shock her with as they try to revive her.
The Christmas lights line I took as his sentiment - "how did it get to this?"

Being a pessimist means I'd still rather think of it meaning what I originally thought rather than about some poxy baby!!

The Juliana Theory – Don't Push Love Away Lyrics 20 years ago
hey.
am I the only femme here that can identify with not the singer, nor the "girl", but the one being serenaded?
is this more of a blokey habit, then?
am anticipating "push(ing) love away" from this utter adonis that likes me. can Juliana save me?
they may be good, but they're not THAT good!

Tori Amos – The Power of Orange Knickers Lyrics 21 years ago
I love this song, and it really bugs me that people I try to get interested in Tori get to "the power of orange knickers" but can't get beyond it.
Anyway...
"those girls that smile kindly,
then rip your life to pieces", never were truer words said.
Also...
"A matter of complication,
when you become a twist,
for their latest drink,
as they're transitioning", to me this says date-rape - drink-spiking of the drink of the moment, of the young (teens, 20s) - "as they're transitioning". Like a form of sabotage, or terrorism as she'd say.
Anyone?

Tori Amos – Sleeps With Butterflies Lyrics 21 years ago
This is THE most beautiful song off the incredible Beekeeper album. LOVE Tori, though this reminds me horribly of Mariah Carey (ick!) butterfly song. Damnit!
She's the dominator, he floats off when he wants too, but she's not going to force the one she loves.
Suggestions for other "beautiful" songs? I recommend Pagan Poetry by Bjork, Like Paper Cuts by Mew + She by Louie Says.

Jimmy Eat World – Futures Lyrics 21 years ago
D'oh! Above entry seems to be pants...this is from MTV:
"The song is about George W. Bush, yeah. It's about being dissatisfied with how things are going and about greed taking over," frontman Jim Adkins said. "The speakers [in the song] are coming from a place where they've done everything right — a successful career, financial stability — but they're still getting squashed by the larger greed. They're taking it to the man."
Gotta love Jim!

Remy Zero – Gramarye Lyrics 21 years ago
I love this song from Stigmata OST.
Doesn't is seem about some glorious woman that everyone wants? She's everything to everyone, pure desire, but she's strangely poisonous, no good for him. She screws him up, but he still wants her. Perhaps?

Jimmy Eat World – Futures Lyrics 21 years ago
Just want to say the whole FUTURES album is SUPREME!!
I think this song is about some guy wants abetter future for himself and his "darling", wants to invest their assets (stocks or whatever) "trade up for the for the fast ride" building something worthy for them.
It's an optimistic song, he's convinced he can get them better.
