| Massive Attack – Paradise Circus Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
For me, this song is evocative of Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac films. The sport of fly fishing helps begin the story's narration with the first chapter about sexual conquest. The films explore a sex addict's ideation of love and morality - her self-judgement and the ironic trade-off between "true love" and pleasure. |

| Goldfrapp – Road to Somewhere Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
For visualization, Mercer Street seems to be a cobbled avenue in NYC. The setting seems a bit ambiguous, walking through the rain listening to the radio at either 3 am or pm. If it's the afternoon, I imagine her on her way towards something to move forward from whatever daggers she went through. If it's late into the night, I imagine a dreary & surreal walk to escape the intense feeling of the daggers. I'm not sure if she's carrying a radio or listening with headphones or remembering listening or hearing a radio in the street. It seems the point is that it's a painful blur. I love how she takes the hesitation of "get a feeling it's too late" & challenges it with "you're not too late". |

| Halsey – New Americana Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| @[19cachri:6226] I honestly see a lot more sarcasm in this song that you seem to. There are things about this generation I can respect, but I think that, in our postmodern society, progress is not actually possible, only profit. I.e., anything she says that sounds like optimism/etc is just catchy phrases to diversify the lyrics and make them appealing for radio play (ex, having a chorus with 'marijuana' in it). | |
| Halsey – New Americana Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
"Rockefeller" always has connotations of blood money for me. "The city's ours until the fall" brings Fight Club to mind. "We know very well who we are, so we hold it down when summer starts" alludes IMO to how a lot of Americans deny how insecure they really are as leftists (read the unabomber manifesto). Also, how we thrive on coffee during the weekday, and beer on the weekend, and we're so hyped for friday and hungover on monday that we really only have three productive workdays a week. "What kind of dough have you been spending/what kind of bubblegum have you been blowing lately?" seems to be saying that spending the dough is blowing your money, i.e. bubblegum is a waste of money, a lot of our consumerism is a waste of money. I think hourly workers often forget that every eight dollars or so they spend is about an hour of gritting their way through work. I think they often forget to compare the quality of life lost by going to work with the effect their purchase has on their quality of life. |

@[whir21:1142] The thing about picking insects off of plants, for me, was also about how the little things kids do are so cute. Instead of thinking of consequences, they're curious. Like how kids'll look at the clouds or at lights. But then when you grow up, it's not cute coz it's a childish thing to do. But I bet a lot of Americans would have a lot less stress if they took the time to just sit there like a kid when they have a break instead of checking their phone or the tv. Either way it's bad for the environment, but that just makes the green movement futile - solar panels (or anything else) cannot make an unsustainable society somehow sustainable. The movie 12 monkeys has so many relevant quotes for this comment that you should really just check it out. And Fight Club. |

| Gnarls Barkley – Gone Daddy Gone (Violent Femmes cover) Lyrics | 9 years ago |

This song makes me think about how not one of my friends growing has parents that are still together, and on top of that some of their parents' relationships have become just the nastiest things you can imagine. The kinds of things grown people are willing to stoop to when they find the excuse to be that cruel. Maybe when ppl have been intimate for so long, when they find themselves formally and systematically opposed, they just sort of be ugly. The music video in particular really got to me, coz it made me think that it was just a metaphor, and that the truth would be that the guy felt like she thought he was as ugly as a bug, and that the feeling of revulsion like when they show a supposed memory of the bug having sex with her, is like how she wants the memory to be now that they're separated. And the bug spray shows just how much power ppl that have been that intimate with each other have over each other. So I guess the lesson is, don't play games with the ones who love you (I love Engima). |

| Lorde – Buzzcut Season Lyrics | 9 years ago |

I have a few memories of seeing random girls that just make me feel, that's like the perfect girl, you know. But of course I'm awkward as fuck with girls, so I never talk with them. But one of those memories was this girl on the bus sitting with her knees pulled in, wearing cutoff jeans and one of those sexy, belly-showing tops, texting on her phone with a frown like she knew her own shit and that's all she cared about. It made me think, firstly that my back was so tight all the time, I don't know how she could sit there with her knees pulled in like that. But also, it made me want to make a list of all the little poses I could make myself that would make me look like that. Sort of like building up your own hologram. The buzzcut thing makes me think about how she might've thought it was a bad thing that his head was burning, but then he sees the good in it. That's pretty cool. |

| Metric – Twilight Galaxy Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
All the "they"s in my life have told me they won't be disappointed if I fail, that they'll accept me as long as I was trying my best. So what that means is that I'll disappoint if I don't do my best? I just watched What's Eating Gilbert Grape for the first time in years, and I couldn't stop thinking about, for one his hair, and how stuck he was between wanting to be a good person and wanting to get out and do what he wanted. When people ask me what I want, I say I dunno, coz I don't know if I want what I want. That's what makes things so tough for me, that the world isn't black and white(?), but all the rules and obligations make it out like it is. (I think this thought had something to do with the twilight galaxy...). Like how you're either right or wrong, or high or low, or something, but is there ever a time where the bad things about you and the good things about you run together in a twilight? For the chorus, in Sunday School I remember that feeling, you know, when everyone's singing along and you're kind of embarrassed, but who are you trying to please? I think the line about demons has to do with the reason I value humans above other lifeforms. I can't think of any other creature that will just sit and watch the sunset, or the full moon rise, or notice a bald eagle or a hummingbird. Without humans, things would just happen and they wouldn't mean anything more than their utility. But we can also see the demons in each other and the world. But that doesn't mean that everything is evil and not worth it. It's just so wonderful that we have a choice about what we make of things. When you're down you think about how rotten you are inside, and how rotten things are, and that's where a lot of the sadness comes from. Sorry to keep rambling, but my astronomy prof said something real cool. He showed us the first picture of the Earth from space, and he said that picture contains all the emotions, love, hate, joy, envy, etc in the universe (that we know of). That's kinda cool, ya know. |

This song is so damn creepy.

That made me pull out the song and see what you mean. Thanks. |

| Massive Attack – Group Four Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| I get a strong sense that this song is about gender roles. The security guy is a guy, he's supposed to be strong, to protect, but he's tired and angsty or something. And the girl is supposed to be pretty but she wants purpose, and it seems like they both find that you need other people to make life fulfilling. You know, like you can't get so caught up in your career that you can't find anybody with a different take on life to make you think about the world in different ways. I'm not sure if she really is a singer or if she just wants to break out and "sing". | |

| Metric – Too Little Too Late Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I'm not really one to argue based on the Bible (don't wanna get tied down), but I very strongly believe this song is about how the lives we're living are totally not how god made us to live. Too much sugar, too much phoniness, too little exercise, too little reward for spirit. Our heads are heavy with useless information. Modern Western society is the only place in the history of man that you find things like chronic depression, asthma, obesity, etc. Things like love, courage, and spirit don't make as much money as other things, and so they are discredited, useless, unmarketable skills. It all makes me wanna not care what I wear, and in fact take it all off. Makes me feel really good to listen to this song, or watch the scene from Network where the guy says: "I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, God damn it! My life has VALUE!'" or read that quote from Johnny Rotten: "You don't write 'God Save The Queen' because you hate the English race. You write a song like that because you love them, and you're fed up with them being mistreated". Ted Kaczynski saw that this modernity and the myth of progress and technology and shit was an unstoppable force, that we've done too little too late since the Industrial Revolution to prevent our own destruction. I like to think it's not too late, coz otherwise all we can do is blow each other up. |

| Metric – Handshakes Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
"Buy this car to drive to work. Drive to work to pay for this car." These were the lines that made me a huge fan of Metric. Makes me think about how we want money so we can get money, which the only point in getting is so we can want more... that stupid deal with the devil we made at the crossroads in the 50s, when we decided cookie-cutter houses and an empty culture is the perfect society. And there are so many other little things in this song that I really like hearing. "And then you wanna get out when you get the money to buy yourself a castle." "How will you wear your leisure?". "For handshakes at the ranch" reminds me of the myth of that poor innocent American farmer. These things I usually can't talk about with others. Most people have bought in to the system this song is bashing. It's like how if you were a hardcore socialist, you can never really be honest in political discussions. But good music is good music. Oh yeah. |

"We are still innocent" - things are no longer about right and wrong, or innocence and guilt, but choices. | |

| It's cool that you're so much less cynical than me. I understood the lottery as being the easy way to end the song, the easy way to solve your problems.

I like to justify myself by saying I don't want it all. | |
| Charlotte Martin – Four Walls Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I'm just gonna ramble about how this song makes me feel... "Bumping into these dead machines" is such a cool line. Makes me think about botoxed-up, money-loving, frivolous, American dreamers. The first line of the chorus reminds me of when I don't really know where I'm going, just that I don't want to run into anyone, coz then I'd have to talk to them and pretend I'm normal and not experimentally depressed. She keeps talking about things like "lights which I seem to be missing" and "what you're supposed to see". Like the end of the chorus, you seem like you're supposed to know what you're doing, but you really don't. Makes me wonder if anyone really knows what they're doing, or if it's just hard for me to feel confident. I remember back when I was really depressed I would sit in the classroom and try to hold my breath hoping I would kill myself by just stopping being. "And I don't think I'll think what you're thinking" makes me think about how lonely I sometimes feel when I'm hit with the realization that almost everybody in the world has different opinions than me. I'm just the kind of person who doesn't agree with mainstream too often. I think it's just cosmic irony, and it's a cool perspective to have, but you start wishing somebody could really understand you or you could really understand why others think the way they do. When life seems to me like a "wading pool", everyone's goals and desires, particularly capitalist ones, seem so childish and stupid. As for me, life is a waiting room, and I'm waiting for my dreams and motivation to come, so I'm not contributing to society; I'm bringing it down. In the part where she says "Say it again", she expects rejection. In reflecting on my ways, I've started thinking maybe the way I work is that I only actively interact when I am reasonably sure that I won't be rejected. Thus, I have not talked with the woman I have loved for almost five years now because I am almost sure she would say she has no need of me. But I like to think that true love exists in spite of a lack of need... |

| Charlotte Martin – Stromata Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
After looking at Wikipedia, Stromata is the title of an old Greek book by religious thinker Clement of Alexandria. He called it that because it means "patchwork", and his book was about all the random, complicated things that are involved in life and Christianity. Wikipedia says it tries to explain the world from a Christian perspective sufficiently for a learned man. In interpreting this song, I found it helpful to add a few periods in the lyrics. Firstly, I started a new sentence with "the fates seem a bit confused by my reflection", which I found to be a really cool, self-reflecting line (what a pun!). I get that feeling a lot, that my fate doesn't make to much sense, that I don't seem reconciled with the universe. Then I read the chorus as: "I. I. You. We're not thinking. My stromata." In this way, the structure seems to reflect the meaning of directionless chaos stitched together. Then I got thinking about maybe the song's about a relationship that is patched together, and thus stromata/patchwork means a relationship that is pieced and sown together, but now it's falling apart. There also seems to be a theme of inevitability. "Coz if we die there's still direction" means to me that we're so insignificant, time will keep moving forward once we're gone. "And see the disappointments walking in their line, but every step they take is perfectly in time" seems to say that we've got a ton of problems and they won't go away if we just ignore them. Thinking on purpose is something I think about a lot. I like that feeling of genuineness when you say something without even thinking about it, when it just comes out of you. Coz I have this problem of thinking out my conversations in my head before saying them, and I feel so fake and ashamed of what I have to say after that. But then again, deeper than that is the pursuit of the right words... She uses personification with "The cold linoleum is talking up my shoes, deciphering the truth of us" and it kinda shows that inanimate objects understand us more than we do. It's also kind of a juxtaposed image, since Stromata means patchwork, and linoleum tends to have patchwork designs. "Now we go for some reaction, a little game of who's distracted more" is a really cool description of loveless sex. I think towards the end, she definitely still has a desire to love, doesn't think she ought to, and either way needs some sort of connection to make her happier. |

| Devo – Post Post-Modern Man Lyrics | 10 years ago |

Most people buy hammers so they can use them for something "useful". This guy just wants to make noise. The same with all the other stuff, it's all for love. Maybe that's what's missing from the postmodern world - love. "The hard way" has a shit-ton of meaning for me. I've been in love for almost five years, all through high school and now in college, haven't said a thing to her, and she's in my class every day. The hard way means actually having the courage to take the risk that she'll not want to be with me. The easy way is trying to assure that by wowing her with stuff. |

That's great, never thought to call a fake face like that. This song is really interesting if you try to think in black and white of who's right and wrong. Hating the haters and all that.

| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Slow Cheetah Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Nice job. I might add that the titular line also makes me think about the labels and stereotypes typical of "their" way. It's like how everyone assumes Asians are smart, and how I'm assuming white people will assume that. It's also like the mysterious girl. There are so many "definitions" of what being human/happy is supposed to be (buy this so you can be this, go here so you can feel this, do this so you're one of these). But in the end, it's just you. One last thing is how the happiness in the magazine, I think, is not just in how "they" dress and look, but is probably a lot closer to all of us. It's how we think. We're all hoping the American dream means that I'll win the lottery or something and get rich/get beautiful/get happy without having to try. We want what we're told to want. And another cool line from that verse is "she barely knew her name". There's a song by Passenger called "I Hate", where the guy complains about magazines "aimed at insecure teens". It's hard enough to figure our who you are without a bunch of companies having an interest in you're trying theirs out for a while. |

| Florence + the Machine – What the Water Gave Me Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
A lot of people are saying the water stands for both life and death. That makes sense to me, but it doesn't sing for me (and maybe there are others like me). The imagery that comes to my head is more of a loss of control. Life and death could each be called a loss of control, but so could a lot of other things. Love and hate. Fears and doubts, and hope. The rest of the world out there and all the dreams to be had and crushed. (And then I saw effybaby's comment, which basically says this). Something I saw in the line "take what the water gave me" really struck me. Again, a lot of people are saying it's an appeal to the speaker's object to accept death too, and again that makes sense to me but doesn't sing. The take on it that sends shivers down my spine is the implicit question in that line. She's saying, "each of us are so small and insignificant and powerless, but this stupid little life I have, I want you to share it with me. *shivers*. And finally, about that 'stupid little life' part, the lines "Coz they took your loved ones, But returned them in exchange for you, But would you have it any other way?" makes me think about how when I look at my life in relation to the rest of creation, and apply my scruples to my existence, I have no right to be here. Being American doesn't help, but more than that it's just my social presence. I feel like I pollute the atmosphere (of the room) when I'm with others. And I know I'm not alone feeling this, through conversations I've had with people. But her answer is just so beautiful. Of course. Of course it's worth it, even if it doesn't make sense. These little lives of ours, all the chaos and troubles, are worth more than that. Don't kill yourself, and all that. |

Such a human idea. First verse seems to be about how you don't want to have to fight for your place in the world if it's just not that important to you to be on top, capitalism and all that. The second one's a nice hit on TV. The chorus is a nice metaphor for "to connect (with people) or not to connect". I like this song a lot. I started listening to her because I liked her sound, but these lyrics were what got me really into what she was saying. She seems to know what's what. |

| In Luke's description of the anointment of Jesus (which probably involves Mary Magdalene though there is no name given) a major theme is unconditional forgiveness, and I feel the first verse (especially Last time I checked he came to light the lamp for everyone) has a double application in what you said about differing interpretations (which are definitely an issue when Mary Magdalene is involved) and in the unconditional forgiveness (sorry about all the parentheses). | |
| The National – City Middle Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I'm really interested in what the chorus means. The first part seems probably based totally on some memory he has of Carin, but then "Where it's random, and it's common versus common", maybe those are also memories of things she said, but what do they mean? I like random things because they are so surreal, and they force me to think beyond my own life, examine myself objectively, realize how ridiculous my worries are. But common versus common reminds me of thoughts I have about the our postmodern world. Our society has rapidly developed institutions that devalue your spirit. I watched the movie Brazil the other day, and the guy had all the traits of a stereotypical hero - he kept his honor when all about him were losing theirs (Kipling's words). But in spite of this, throughout the movie his spirit is denied its potential. The institutions don't care about your spirit if it doesn't make them money. The guy would often daydream that he was the knight and was fighting some evil dude, but reality just wasn't that black and white. Common versus common brings to mind for me wishing that my common spirit could be pitted against somebody else's and that that battle would make the difference. But how it is now, nobody cares if you fight with honor, just that you win. Or something like that. |

"I want to go gator around the warm beds of beginners" Closedeyes pointed out that gatoring means creeping around slowly. The other day I had a conversation about childhood innocence, how right and wrong is so black and white for kids, and that part of the teenage angst/midlife crisis feeling is probably a realization that the world is gray and that that complicates things so damn much, and that at those times in our lives we really wish we could go back to when things were simple and designed for "beginners". There is such a small window of life where love's rules aren't complicated yet, where two people can be a really good mixture, and neither of them know to care whether they waste it or not. But now it's just something to lament... |

I like to think it's like a multi-layered metaphor. You can understand the drug aspect, and then you can translate that to how he feels and what he's feeling it about. In the end, I feel it's just another creative way of saying what he's already said in that verse - "now I'm here, now I have something going, how do I make this moment, this opportunity into something great? Shit, I don't know". |

Sounds so much like Ian Curtis. He was married and had a kid, but started an affair (a non-sexual one, since his epilepsy meds ensured that), then he killed himself. And of course only his feelings matter - it's his song. Write what you know. When you read Catcher in the Rye, you can get caught up in blaming the kid for being a hypocrite, or you can note the social commentary in that we're all hypocrites. You have a lot of truth in your comment, but I feel the connotations are misplaced. It's just that life is sad because it's so hard to know who you love, but by the time you figure it out you've already fucked things up. |

| JonRa's comment reinforces my perception that this song is incapable of being a shout out of any kind. The poor girl seems trapped to the whims of the masses, money, and her songwriters (wikipedia says the song was mainly written by Mike Will Made It, P-Nasty, and Rock City - Cyrus was merely one of the contributors). When I first heard this song, it was so obnoxious that I have started trying to rewrite it with more pleasant and meaningful lyrics/melodies and a healthier amount of sarcasm. | |
| The Cure – A Forest Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| This song powerfully reminds me of the ending of the Sheltering Sky, when Kit is found by Western Society again, but then she runs away again. "The girl was never there".

| The Cure – A Forest Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| I find that the people who deem existential art as "peevish moaning" about "their own weakness" are the ones who miss the deeper meaning. Some people find it easier to be normal than others, and it is also easy for them to lack the empathy to realize that for a lot of people, the postmodern human condition involves a great deal of loneliness, I'm the same way. When I hear pop songs, I can't help assuming that they must be sarcastic - nobody can really believe that partying and shit is all that important. It's just coz I don't know that lifestyle, that need. | |
