Keane – Russian Farmer's Song Lyrics 8 years ago
Theres gotta be a russia comment :D
And, since I am russian..here goes

Я понимаю эту песню как описание какого-то местечка в России, где ребята, возможно, побывали. Вероятно, это деревня.
Вначале идет описание русской девушки, мужчины перевязывают сено, а она расслабляется и пьет (типичное представление русских))
"I watched you walking
Late in the day
Where old men were talking
Binding up the hay
I watched you drinking
Shutting your eyes and thinking
Late in the day"

Припев я поняла с трудом.
"You were signalling with your hand
Going, going out of my way
You're out of my way"
Возможно, это из-за моего знания английского.
BORNintoKHAOS пишет, что песня основана на Анне Карениной, так что, возможно, это какая-то отсылка к эпизоду..с поездом?) хз, врядли конечно.

Затем идет описание жизни в деревне,здесь все довольно очевидно.
"After several uneventful days
We gathered all the faithful
To come and have their say
Drinking, greeting
Sellers and farmers meeting"

В конце автор хочет, чтобы какие-то слова не были произнесены, мб связано опять таки с девушкой.
"I wish all my words were unsaid
I wish all my words were unsaid
If I could eat my words would I be standing here"

И, наконец, призывает всех не тянуть кота за хвост и собирать зимние вещички)) Правильно, потому что зима в России суровая))
"Better hurry, don’t bide your time
Better get all your winter things"

And for all the english users:
I interprete this song as a description of some russian village, where guys may have been.
Then goes a description of a "typical" russian girl (though not all of us are drinking).
I hardly understood the chorus, maybe the case is my bad english. Also, BORNintoKHAOS mentioned, that the song's based on Anna Karenina, so it may refer to the episode with the train.
In the end the author wants some words to be unsaid.. it may be related to the girl, i dunno.
And, finally, he asks to hurry up, to pack up winter things, cos, lol, winters in Russia are severe.

Greetings to all Russia users!

Keane – Watch How You Go Lyrics 8 years ago
"The more we rush about, the less we do
I never saw you drift away
The more we spin around, the less we move
I never saw your spirit break"

1st part is pretty clear, because the more we fuss, the worse things come out.

Strange, that nobody noticed that part:
"I wish that I could be a journey's end
But you are only passing through, yeah"
In my mind, what he means - is that he wanted her to be his last love, the one he would stay with until the end of his days. He wanted to be the only and the last love for her also, but she just passed through and went to another guy.

Then he just says how graceful she is and wishes her good luck. It's a very good thing especially from a man.

What I don't understand in this song is
"Just say you'll watch how you go"
Maybe the case is my bad english, can somebody explain me the meaning? How can she say, that she will watch how SHE goes?

Blue October – Not Broken Anymore Lyrics 9 years ago
But I think it's more about Justin being depressed most of his life and the about how he finally found his life-mate, his wife, and she saved him from depression, from "the empty deep". Now he is a completely different person.

I know how to let you leave
How am I suppose to let you go?
Now you stand in front of me
And all the rain is turning into snow

// I'm not quite sure about that part. Maybe the person he tryes to let go - // is Justin himself, the kind of Justin he was before, depressed and broken.

Can you tell me that you're real
So I can really know
That everything I feel I can finally show
Standing next to me oh the person I can be
Is finally here and he won't back down at all

// "Can you tell me that you're real" - I think this is about the women he
// met, about his wife.
// This part about him changing - the preson he can be is finally here.

But I can't stop thinking
How you just keep making
Sense of all that was broken before

// Yeah, that is truly about her. She rocked his world, she helped him to
// find the meaning of life, probably.

And I won't keep faking
'Cause I'm done with taking
'Cause with you I'm not broken anymore

// He is not broken anymore and he will not fake or take from others. He has changed.

I've seen the empty deep
I've damned up the water flow
You're the touchstone my complete
You're the ship that kept me afloat

// He has seen such a strong depression, the empty deep, but she
// prevent him from sinking in it.

I hope somebody else will comment on that. Such an amazing, beautiful, gentle song.

@[pepesoldier:3627] The song is amazing, true.
And i'm surprised too nobody commented on that. I'll add my interpretation.
But I think that the meaning is a little different than yours.

Blue October – The Flight (Lincoln to Minneapolis) Lyrics 9 years ago
Nobody commented?
Ok, i'll do. Its pretty obvious that this song is about his flight to Minneapolis after his wife told him about how she had been cheating on him...
Compare these lines from the interview, where he speaks about that with the lines of the song:

"Once Furstenfeld got to the airport, things got even worse. “I remember getting on the airplane, but I don’t remember anything else. I supposedly walked off the plane in Minneapolis and asked for a police officer to assist me because I was going to get back onto the plane and hurt someone. I don’t remember any of that except for getting patted-down and being put into a police car.

“The cop then tells me that I’m going to a state hospital. My father is a retired police office and had been on the phone with them and he explained that I wasn’t a threat. He also told them that I had bi-polar and blackout issues in the past when I had lost control of certain situations. We’re talking about my little girl asking me, ‘Where are you going? When are you coming back?’ All of those emotions blew up on the plane. So I ended up staying in the hospital for some time.”

And the lines:
"No joke took a breath and then awoke
I was standing in an airport looking like a joke
Saying "Sir, can you help me?
Ma'am could you please?"
So they led me to the pay phone
Flaggin' down the police
"Mr. Officer I know who I am. But the rest of me,
My memory, I just don't understand
I do know that I'm unsafe, man with a plan,
Of gettin' on a plane
Fly away to kill a man"
