TV on the Radio – I Was a Lover Lyrics 18 years ago
just a song with kinda crappy lyrics that probably don't signify anything that you don't force it to.

Daft Punk – WDPK 83.7 FM Lyrics 18 years ago

Desaparecidos – Mall of America Lyrics 18 years ago
No, I'm pretty sure the first lines are about oberst, his folk career, and making "read music/speak spanish" with the band who's name translates to 'the disappeared'

submissions
M. Ward – Seashell Tale Lyrics 18 years ago
the bright eyes version isn't that good... Conor's just trying to give himself Matt's voice, and he plays it a bit more dismantled... But as for the meaning, I'd say it's pretty much nothing to be looked deep deep into. The in's and out's of a laid-back relationship.

Secret Machines – It's a Bad Wind That Don't Blow Somebody Some Good Lyrics 18 years ago
It's not that great of a song. But duh, the lyrics contain alliteration and metaphoric sayings. What does that say?
It reminds me of fall, is all.

Modest Mouse – Jesus Christ Was an Only Child Lyrics 19 years ago
The lines "you should hide your kids / while the dogs run wild" reminds me for obvious reasons of "Wild Pack Of Family Dogs", anybody think theres a link? I think there's probably a continuation of the theme, but not like they tell continuations of a story or anything

submissions

Iron & Wine – Fever Dream Lyrics 19 years ago
Maybe some of you share this sentiment with me: I remember listening to this song in a perfect platonic love, like we imagine God's love to be. And holding someone, or each other, you know? It's a song of perfect platonic love.

Sonic Youth – Bull In The Heather Lyrics 19 years ago

Matt Pond PA – So Much Trouble Lyrics 19 years ago
To me it's about being in a new situation. Especially the parts saying "we don't want to make mistakes, we don't want to be the same". Both expressing the desire to be unique, and keep changing, but without giving up the identity of what you're used to.

Statistics – Another Day Lyrics 19 years ago
Saying that we watch these television programs and movies and assume all the adventure and constant excitement should be what real life is like, but lost in the realization that life isn't so fast-paced, we may loose touch with reality.

submissions
Elf Power – The Arrow Flies Close Lyrics 19 years ago
To me, the guy is singing about an eminent departure. As time progresses, he starts to notice that not much time is left. As a final note, I like how Jeff from NMH sings to "I hope Jeff will sing me a song"

Secret Machines – Still See You Lyrics 19 years ago
I consider this the best Secret Machine song. The imagery in "A room, still, you're lying there
You're half-asleep in a wedding gown
You don't look down at all, and you sigh at me" is wonderful.
