| Boy & Bear – Southern Sun Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
A boy fell madly in love with a girl one fateful night.. Emotions basically flooded into him, and now that the moment is over, the only way he can relive it is by dreaming. It was a simple, beautiful way that he fell in love. There was no commotion around, nothingness, just him laying in the night sky. His mind was stretched out in the sense that he finally opened up his mind to love for one of the first times. He was letting himself feel more so than he ever had before. It is a holy night because he is feeling giving into feeling and loving and other things that scare humanity to the core. He is ready to start life for real, he is ready to start loving every inch of this girl that helped him wake up. He is ready to start something. He cannot wait forever, because his feeling is so strong and he wants it so bad. Maybe she is not quite ready, maybe she is taken. He realized life is not crazy long (kettle gun reference). He spent time in the real world (16 days under the Southern Sun), the hottest warmest sun out there. There were challenges in the world (Southern Sun) and he saw a lot of things that made him grow up. He wouldn't have minded to lose his mind out there, forget some of the things he saw, maybe even forget about this girl he cannot seem to fall out of love with. He is a man now and he is trying to prove that to her, but he is not sure f she can realize that he has grown up. And he has not grown up in a bad way, but actually a good way. He has become noble and wiser. He is ready to get his love back again. He is proving he is ready now. The waves of feeling and love have rushed back into his heart and nothing can stop them. His time out in the world made him realize that he really did love this girl as a boy and he still does. He has been waiting forever for her and he will not let her get away, no matter what. When he was young, he always thought about the possibility of living the fast lifestyle. Of fame and fortune and rock n' roll. And now that he is older now he is still ready to live that fast paced lifestyle, but maybe not in the same sense he imagined as a kid. He is an arrow in a bow, ready to fly out and shoot out into the world. This girl he loves is not sure if he is genuine, but he is telling her deep down she knows how much he loves her, how he would live just to be with her and he is ready to start now, he is not ready to waste a precious second. He repeats what he said to her years ago, how he has been ready for he and he cannot wait until he dies because his love and passion for her are inside of him so alive and ready to grow. There is a sweet irony to his words "I'm not gonna wait til the end of me", because in a way it seems like he would wait forever for this girl. He can never end if he loves her, because she makes him feel so alive and real, even when she is not with him. |

At the end it actually says "won't you ever wanna take me back", not "take me there". Personally, I think this song is about two people who once had a relationship years ago, then had a complicated fuzzy friendship that was superficial and fake after they parted ways. The so called "genius" of the story loved the other, and the other person was always fully aware of it, but never loved them back. The genius confessed it all to the other person, and the other person was over it, but still tried to keep on staying this sad fake friendly, simply for their own egotistical reasons. It felt good to have this person love them so much even though she/he would never love them back. This "genius" character has a huge ego, lets everything go to his or her head and has become a destroyed mean person from this love they will never get.It seems like he/she hurt the other at one point in time, and perhaps even again recently and that now the other lover who never will requite the love is re-eveluating the entire relationship. They are wondering if they ever even loved each other, or worse if they love each other more now and will never admit it. The genius does the classic human psychological thing in which you show exactly the opposite emotions you actually feel, in this case turning love into hatred.One of the most tragic flaws in human behavior. Now they both wonder if the other would take them back, the genius for his acts of disgust towards the only one he really loves, and the other wondering if he or she would ever take him/her back because of the acts of hatred towards her/him. Basically they both have fucked up a lot and it seems there might not be a solution anymore. Their friendship is nothing, their relationship even less, and if one of them doesn't step up and change it they are gone from one another forever. The genius won't step up and apologize because he has wronged her so many times, and the other is bitter and sick of always being the bigger person. They dont want to know whats happening in each others lives anymore, it is too painful and ad to see love become portrayed as hatred. They need away from each other. |

He wrote this song when he went to one of his best childhood friend's fathers funeral. According to something I read he wrote it driving away form the funeral on a winter day, it was a long drive and the lyrics all came to him. I guess his friend had a terrible relationship with the father. Pretty sad. I can definitely relate to decent amounts of this song, not quite as extreme but I can get the whole alcoholic thing and emotionless father. Must be such a haunting feeling... |

She had a face straight out a magazine she was absolutely beautiful, might as well have been a model, gorgeous in every way God only knows but you'll never leave her you will never stop loving her no matter how hard you try even if you are denying it, technically only “god knows” because you will not even admit it to yourself but you will love this girl eternally, maybe not completely, but always she will be in your heart Her balaclava is starting to chafe maybe her sweetness is fading away, she isn’t how she used to be, she is falling apart, she no longer has composure, basically she is becoming jaded to this world, she wants an out , maybe not directly through suicide but somehow When she gets his gun he's begging, "Babe stay, stay, stay, stay, stay." his gun could be his heart…she can kill him by breaking his heart. his gun is love and she can destroy him by breaking it.. he needs her to stay, he wants her to stay he loves her I'll give him one more time they will try one more time, its all falling apart but they need to try he loves her and she needs him We'll give you one more fight Said one more line There'll be a riot, cause I know you they keep saying next time things suck its done, its over but we wont go down without a fight because they know how special what they have is, the two know that it wont fade away easily..not just fighting each other but fighting themselves on the inside, fighting the demons taunting them if it fails and the heartbreak Now if you never shoot, you'll never know if they don’t try it how will they ever know? you need to take leaps and risks in this life or you dont know what beauty you leave under the ground And if you never eat, you'll never grow if you don’t take care of yourself you wont become stronger…if you don’t EAT ie try something new like a relationship or love you’re not sure about, you wont learn how to live and be new in this world You've got a pretty kinda dirty face so many mixed emotions within this love And when you're leaving your home she's begging you, "Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay." so much love for one another, she begs him to never leave him ever but times are changing, he needs to go out and live I'll give you one more time We'll give you one more fight Just said one more line There'll be a riot, cause I know you again they just keep keeping everything alive through second chances and living on the torn strings at the end of the blanket trying to keep the fire burning and alive but it is so hard…it is so hard to keep it even though their love is so deep Well, now that you've got your gun its finally ended, they’ve hurt each other, they’ve shot each other…reality has forced the lovers apart and they must come to terms about it, im not quite sure what did it but the love ending is hurting them It's much harder now the police have come the police coming symbolize reality coming, the dangers of the world , how hard it is to keep the love once its under the scrutiny of the public and out there in the real adult world Now shoot him if it's what you're worth if you really care about him and you’re really a good person just cut this all off, no more second chances to be stolen or ROBBED from one another, please just let him and yourself move on And if you just take off your mask if you would just take off this façade, fake image you were putting on for everyone you would realize it is all so so wrong and you need to stop To find out that everything's gone wrong, wrong, wrong. its all different now its all wrong now cant you see it?? stop faking it move on let each other love others and see lightness, no more of this darkness anymore please , they both want to be past these gunshots they gave each other, but are so scared to see the other let their wounds heal Now everybody's dead no one is who they used to be, everybody has changed, no longer children or their past selves, who you used to know aren’t the same people anymore, maybe in the sense that your childhood town doesn’t embody the same people anymore , it is just the same place filled with different people, making it a new place.. everybody. is. dead. And they're driving past my old school all my old memories of our past and my own past are flooding in and its so changed and different And he's got his gun, he's got his suit on now he has a gun, he has the capability to hurt others because he has been hurt, he has his suit because he is older and grown up and a part of reality, he isn’t the hopeless dreamer he used to be She says, "Babe, you look so cold, you look so cold, you look so cold, cold, cold, cold You look so cold, you look so cold, you look so cold, cold, cold, cold, cold." the ex lover sees him and he is hurt and jaded and sad to the world now … he seems fine on the outside but he is cold.. and the irony is she was the one who made his temperature drop the lovers are robbing each others happiness and chances in this world from one another. they keep giving each other second chances, “one more fights” only to rob new chances from one another. they cant move on and grow in love because they are so caught up on what they used to have therefore becoming robbers of new things to one another |

This is not about a relationship or marriage. It is about two people who clearly have feelings for one another, but the hesitancy of either both or one of them causes this beauty they share to never be taken deeper or made official. It is like a friendship that s scared to be taken closer, when deep down both of them want t be so much closer. It seems as if one of them will not admit how much they care for the other, because it is supposedly just a friendship. It seems as though the pair is happy for what they both can share on those special random moments, but deep down they would be happier just being together. They might as well be strangers, because they will pour out their hearts and souls to one another during those special rare moments, but then after it happens and around the expectations of humanity and society they will just smile and wave at each other as if they are just friendly acquaintances or close "strangers". If they could meet again for the first time again maybe things would be different, but now they are trapped in a weird situation. And maybe it will work someday, but time will have to tell. They do not know everything about each other, they have not known each other long, but they understand each other infinitely better than others do, making them feel as if they have known one another for years. It is one of those rather beautiful blessings in life, as well as something that torments the soul, because you continuously want the person so much closer to your heart. |

| Wilco – How To Fight Loneliness Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| This song is complete sarcasm. You cannot fight off loneliness, it is a state of being. It comes and goes and there is nothing you can do about it. Loneliness will always pass, but when you are in a state of loneliness it is always there no matter what you do. You put on a smile and act like everything is just fine, but it is not. It is one of the most desperate, sad feelings. You are at a party filled with hundreds of people and you are so blinded by loneliness that you feel as if you are walking through an entirely empty room. Everyone who talks to you, you just nod along with the notions, you laugh at the jokes they say, to get through this despair you must just keep on living. There is not anything more to do. You put a smile on your face for the world to think you are "okay" and you just float onwards through the motions of life. You are shining your teeth to the meaningless, hereby saying all those fake words coming out of other peoples mouths are words you simply smile at. This is a realization so many people have as they grow older, they realize half of this world they have been living is a lie of fake compliments and smiles and almost every human is secretly feeling a bit lonely inside. We are all learning "How To Fight Loneliness". | |
| Death Cab for Cutie – Transatlanticism Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| This song makes me want to cry. They can't be together because of a hard difficult distance. They both love each other but don't say it. They need each other so much closer. | |
| The Airborne Toxic Event – Sometime Around Midnight Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Everyone has felt this feeling at one point. And if you haven't yet, I promise you, you will. A man is in a bar and the girl he once dated, the girl of his dreams, his only true love thus far walks in. She torments him. He let his pride get in the way of losing her. She ran away because he hurt her, but she still loved him with her entire soul. And he never fought to get her back because he didn't want to seem weak, but he thinks of her everyday. The girl is watching him, she walks up, hugs him, says hi..Everything seems like they are simply old friends but its an act. She loves him. He loves her. But the girl is with another boy. And she is desperately trying to love this other boy but the man in the bar makes it almost impossible for her. They had a connection deeper than most ever will. She is a beautiful free spirited girl, young with the world in her hands and he can't help but still be in love with her. It is literally torture to him. The two are torturing each other and they both know it, but both will never say it. He relives every beautiful moment they had and he can barely breathe. She leaves with the man he doesn't know but she turns away and looks at him.. They both recognize the look in each others eyes, but its over and neither can do anything about it. All he wants is to be with her, but it is a toxic relationship. It will never work. They only destroy one another with a love too passionate and they can never be together. Both of them are broken on the inside. They know these things take time and they will wait. |

| The Paper Kites – Featherstone Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I think this song is spoken by a boy about a girl he really loves. She is a free spirit, a wanderer. She loves him but she doesn't think he is the right one and she loves the world also. She is ready to go out and see what this world has to offer her. They had something beautiful while it lasted and she helped shape his soul and mind but she cannot continue to love him when she is so ready to adventure. "And we'll hate what we've lost but we'll love what we find" The two will always miss the beautiful memories and moments they shared and miss out but they both know there are thousands of possibilities for both of them just waiting to be found. Maybe someday they will meet again and understand one another's souls better than they did prior, but for now they must keep on living. This describes the classic bittersweet breakup. No one person did anything wrong, no harsh words were exchanged, simply it is time to find new love and life. There will always be a tiny love for one another for the "work of art" they have created within. The girl is a dreamer, a wanderer, and the boy is intrigued and loves her with his full heart, but he knows one day he will be able to find a love again, that may possibly be quite different. A beautiful message for all to keep in mind. |
