Gorillaz – Out of Body Lyrics
| 7 years ago
|
I think it's literally about going underground to survive a nuclear war, disguised as a rave song. Or it's from the point of view of someone dissociating and imagining they're at a club in order to keep going through a hellish situation. The dance moves are about keeping in line and coordinating with the group to make it to a safe spot |

Pulp – Mis-Shapes Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
I associate this song with young adults graduating college, indebted, and looking at a bleak situation, well-educated but underemployed and unrepresented. If class is not the primary issue, it is a rallying call of powerless youth against the older generation establishment |

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Loverman Lyrics
| 11 years ago
|
This is a song with many possible interpretations. I think of it as the antithesis of the love story of the film "Wings of Desire" in which Nick Cave's music was heavily featured, an angel falling in love with a mortal woman and becoming human - instead, this song flips it around and is about demon falling in love with a woman and becoming human |
