The Cure – Close to Me Lyrics 10 years ago
I don't get the sexual innuendo a lot of commenters seem to be finding in the song.

I talked about the song with a friend back when it came out (yes I'm that old). And we both arrived at the same conclusion:

"It's someone waiting for Death."

Weird Al Yankovic – Jackson Park Express Lyrics 11 years ago
An exercise in complete absurdity. I'm pretty sure he just made up the lyrics on the fly.

Phantogram – Fall In Love Lyrics 11 years ago
When I first heard the lyrics I just froze. They might as well have been coming directly out of my ex-girlfriend's mouth.

I met her when she was in a very confused emotional place. She didn't know who or what she wanted. I fell madly in love with her. She told me she was in too dark a place to handle it:
"Babe
The night has swallowed my soul
Could it be that I fell apart
It shows
The lines on my face ate away my smile
Could it be that I fell apart"

Because of her avoidance and rejection, I subsequently went into depression; yet she was compassionate enough to recognize my agony:
"Love
It was enough to recognize
To see
I was the reason you feel sick inside.

Fall in need
I let you bleed
'Cause you were falling
I'm sorry baby
'Cause you were falling
I'm sorry"

I've "sorta" gotten over it now. But phew. It was some hardcore pain for me.

"Love
It cut a hole into your eyes
You couldn't see
You were the car I crashed
Now you're burning alive"
