I think this song is referring to Faris Badwan, her partner in Cat's Eyes. I'm not exactly sure what she's talking about, though. Her lyrics are really enigmatic. |

That makes sense as well. Love is chemically-driven and drugs definitely can give highs similar to being in love. It could also be about a really close friendship with someone and mutually bonding over drugs. |

I think this song is about a guy whose girlfriend cheated on him with his friend (can't help but wonder if you're proud of what you did.
can't help but wonder if she's happy in your bed now) |

| Garbage – Milk Lyrics

In my opinion, this song is about unrequited love. It's very haunting and melancholic. It's one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. This first verse shows the distinct juxtaposition of her emotions, the "red hot kitchen/ketchup" lyric representative of her burning desire for the object of her affections. She is in love with the subject to the point where she doesn't want to live without him. The milk and ocean metaphors are symbols of the "cool" and slightly aloof exterior she must fake to hide these complex emotions she has, so she's cruel and manipulative (i.e. using her tears to bring him home) All she wants is him and for him to love her back and she will use her fragility to make him fall for her despite her flawed and undying passion for him. She feels lost in the vast sea of emotions towards him. He might not even know she exists. What she's waiting for is for him to reciprocate which results in her gentle, delicate facade deteriorating. She is filled with an aching longing as she desperately anticipates him to return his emotions and she is transparently shattered, infinitely waiting for someone to complete her endless and contrasting spectrum of infatuation, to dilute her capricious emotions. She doesn't want to be so polarized, she just wants to feel a more simple type of love that they both share, but she doesn't know and that's what's breaking her.
I think about all of this because I'm feeling the exact same way now. It may not be what it's about, but I feel this song to the bone. It gives me shivers because it describes me so well. |

The recurring equine theme in Blonde Redhead is most likely due to the fact that their singer Kazu had to recover from an accident where she fell off her horse and got trampled, breaking her jaw and resulting in a very long recovery. |

This describes the situation I'm in vividly. I love this guy who smokes pot with me. He has a girlfriend though, It's the feeling of being in love with a person you do drugs with. |

For me, this song is all about the sadness that follows unrequited love, as some of the others were saying. This song's lyrics sounds exactly like my high school experiences with having crushes. I would literally lay in my bed for days depressed over a guy not liking me back. I would also like to note that she sings the word 'you' six times during each chorus. This could represent not only the protagonist's love for her subject that goes unrecognized in the favour of another girl, but it could represent her failing each one of her classes (six) as a result of the sadness of just knowing it's someone else he loves instead of her. |
