| The Shins – New Slang Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think this song is about being in a relationship, but being really sad and wanting out. The relationship once was really magnificent and lovely, but it's gotten boring and lame. He/she wants out because he/she thinks being single is better and more fun. The guy/girl wants out but he doesn't go for it, because it once was love. " Turn me back into the pet that i was when we met. I was happier then with no mind-set. " He/she wants to be as happy as they were when they started dating, because it was happier then. " But my head's to the wall and i'm lonely. " He's lonely in this relationship. " I'm looking in on the good life i might be doomed never to find. Without a trust or flaming fields am i too dumb to refine? And if you'd 'a took to me like Well i'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well. " He/she's looking in on the simple dating/single, which he thinks he may never find again because he/she's stuck in this relationship. " And if you'd 'a took to me like A gull takes to the wind. Well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree And i'd a danced like the king of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well. " He's saying that if this girl took to him simply then everything would've been better, their lives would've fared better. Now they've gone too deep in love and whatnot, and he can't leave. That's just MY interpretation. |

| Bloc Party – This Modern Love Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I kinda think it's about two people you know? One of them is the absent minded one, the materialistic, despondent one. The one who doesn't really know what loves about and stuff. The other ones the one who's paying and trying really hard. The one who is broken by this modern love. They're asking Why are you so scared and what not. The one who wants the old love where money didn't matter. Yet, in the end, it's both love for the two of them, and they just wanna spend time, and throw their arms around each other. |

|
I think it's about a girl breaking up with someone, and he says that " Fuck off " is too kind, kinder than saying " I'm leaving you. " And he wants her to break his nose, because it's better than her breaking his heart. |

| The Strokes – Automatic Stop Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think some of you guys got it right. I think it's about some guy who was moving too fast in a relationship, he got caught up with some girl, and he thought the relationship was going fine, but she didn't care, and broke things off. After the breakup, he's coming to the realization that they weren't even friends, so he's like f*** it | |
| The Strokes – Juicebox Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| For me, this song's about some gal mistreating this guy and everyone sees it, everyone knows it, and everyone sees it, it's in the spotlight. The guy is finally being real and saying that his partner's cold for the way she treated him. He was a patient guy, but he never got any action. In his mind, he was waiting for some hot actress to sweep him off his feet. But his actual gf kinda pushed him to the side, and played him, and because of that, she's cold. | |

| TV on the Radio – Snakes and Martyrs Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think you guys are right, about you know, the " feel the love " vibe, and the people who aren't feeling compassion for others. I always personalized it, and thought of it as a relationship, like you know, a partner doesn't want to feel for the other and they don't share the same sad feelings. Like me and my ex, we had different things we thought of as blues. She was worried about herself, I was worried about others. |

| Belle & Sebastian – Get Me Away from Here, I'm Dying Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| It's about a really naive kid, waking up to his world around him, and he wants to leave, as he's dying/losing his childhood, it's like a hyperbole. This kid thinks there's love everywhere and all that, but prior to this book he reads, he feels his type ( idealistic indie types ) don't stand a chance. Then he reads this novel, and remembers that the boy with a winning smile and naivety wins ( because the good guys always win ) and the triumph is so beautiful he cries. The narrator also feels as if words are more powerful than swords, and that's one advantage pacificts have over belligerant fools. | |

| Kele's not gay. He's said in multiple interviews that this just about the best friend romance that boys experience. Just because you love your guy friend doesn't mean your gay. | |

| Kele's not gay, just cos he wrote I Still Remember doesn't mean he's gay, he's said in multiple interviews that that's just about the best friend romance that boys experience. | |
| Bloc Party – Where Is Home? Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
No, the lines " I want to stamp on the face of every policeman, to break the fingers of every old judge, to cut off the feet of every ballerina, but...I can't, so I just sigh, and I pretend, that there's nothing wrong. " refer to the fact that he wants to rebel and destroy everything that controls his society, but he can't. Ballerina's, I think, refer to the pretty preppy women who look down on kids, you know the snobs. And, he can't, so he just sighs, and pretends as if life's good. Kele writes about second generation blues, something that's understood by kids who are torn between the ways of their immigrant parents and the ways of the society they're growing up in it's " a question of allegiance " |

|
I'm pretty sure it's about a kid, watching some lame musician getting all this recognition, and that the kid will wait for his turn to be known as the greatest musician ever. He soon gets discovered, and then the " war begins ", which is a metaphor for a rivalry with the other musician he envied. Kele vs. Billie Joe basically. |

| Bright Eyes – First Day of My Life Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think this may be my favorite Bright Eyes song, I really got into it prior to the relationship and during the relationship I'm currently in. > I think the first line means that he felt rejuvenated and reborn when he met someone he knew he'll love dearly, its kinda like an epiphany you get when you feel love at first sight. > For me, this is about being blinded by the one you like, the one you want. They're so beautiful that your eyes are changed, and you don't really care about anything else, but you just want to be them. > I interpreted this as being really patient with going into a relationship. That's how I was with my girlfriend, we took/take this really slow, because that's just how I am, and after a while, I realized that I need her, and I want to spend every second with her. > I guess this is probably about someone driving all night to meet someone, and then being revived by the sight of them. > When you see someone after so long, it can feel like it's the first day of your life. I feel glad that I didn't die before I met my gal, and it's true, I don't care, I can go anywhere with her, and be happy. > Ahh, the confusing line. I always interpreted this as he's rather be working hard for a relationship, and going steady with a simple gal, than wait around for a supermodel. > It's about that feeling that maybe the person really does like you, and it's different than past relationships |

| This song is just sad. I love it though. | |
| Belle & Sebastian – Beautiful Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
You guys probably think you've heard this before cos it's the same tune as " Judy and The Dream of Horses " I think it's about a girl who reli does go blind from watching too much television, I think she watches too much tv, to somewhat escape her everyday life you know? If people realized how depressed she was, there would be a lot of people to talk to her. And even tho she goes blind, she still does a lot of things ( pornography, photography ) |

| Maybe the " death " resembles Hilary, because she seems to be a dark person? Maybe death represents Antony for Hilary? Could they have possibly walked to each other? | |
| Belle & Sebastian – Get Me Away from Here, I'm Dying Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think it's about some good guy, the naive optimistic guy who does good all the time. Kinda like Paul McCartney. The line " Here on my own now after hours/here on my own now on a bus " describes his loneliness, and how he doesn't have money to afford a car. In the end, the boy with optimism wins, and he does it with a smile. He wins with a simple " Goodbye ", which is mightier than killing someone. |
