| Demi Lovato – Together Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Beauty is only skin deep (my grandma would add: but ugly goes clean to the bone) This is an old saying that means that just because a person is outwardly beautiful, it doesn't mean they are a beautiful person on the inside. It basically means that you shouldn't judge a person by the way they look, because it doesn't really tell you anything about who they are. Hope that helps. |

| Ben Folds – Picture Window Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| It's a mother and son who've checked into the hospital (yet again) on New Year's Eve 2008. The mother is trying desperately not to allow herself to hope that he will get better, because she doesn't want to be disappointed, but the coming year and the fireworks and champagne and energy lift her spirits despite her attempts at pragmatism. | |

| The Mountain Goats – Magpie Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Like most of the songs on this album, it reminds me of when I was a teenager living with an abusive stepfather. My mom, brother, and I would take any chance to do things together, just the three of us, without him. We savored those hours. And then he would come home, and we'd all freeze up, hoping not to do anything to set him off. But those times when it was just us, that was something worth saving. | |
| The Mountain Goats – 1 Samuel 15:23 Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I feel like this song is about drugs. "Crystal healer" immediately makes me think of crystal meth. The ideas of alchemy and black magic apply to the fact that meth is primarily manufactured in makeshift laboratories by amateur chemists. Addicts craving a fix often say that they are "sick," so in that sense the dealer is a healer for them. Selling self-help tapes could be a metaphor for selling drugs or may refer to the fact that the sale of drugs is often disguised as the sale of less nefarious goods. The concept of a damned man who is resigned to his fate and decides to improve the hell he's in is definitely present here. If he's a drug dealer, he is one that believes that he is providing the people to whom he deals with a way to insulate themselves from the misery of their lives--"a shield against the snow." |

| Alanis Morissette – So Pure Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This reminds me of my little sister. I think it's just about how great it is to be around someone who is unafraid to be totally herself (or himself) and therefore gives you the confidence to be yourself. The whole "let's discuss things in confidence / let's be outspoken let's be ridiculous / let's solve the world's problems" is about the conversations you have with someone like that, where you can just be completely comfortable and speak any idea that comes to you and enjoy it along with the other person. | |

| Mika – Erase Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Love this song, but every time Mika sings the line "In your head," I think it sounds like the song "Zombie" by The Cranberries. | |
