| The Districts – Funeral Beds Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
WAIT! I FIGURED IT OUT. His wife is dying of pneumonia (or what have you) during the Dust Bowl, but to put her out of her misery (or maybe they can't afford medicine/doctor), HE SHOOTS HER. That's why we wanted everything to be quick, painless, and to be done right. That's why he's "gonna take her to the funeral beds to lay". I just blew my own mind. "Whenever I hear this song, I always envision a man who loses his wife to the Dust Bowl. Pretty obvious. The more subjective part is the last half of the song. It seems as though he's seeking to exact his revenge on something or someone, whether it be a consideration of suicide or he's disturbed by the death of his wife and fears for others to suffer the same fate; thus, he decides the only option is to put them out of their misery before it can happen. At least, that would explain the gun-rampage and the need for it to be painless. Just my two-cents." |

| Blink-182 – Snake Charmer Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
Now, hear me out for a little bit. If there's anything we know, it's that Blink songs (lyrically) are either childishly immature, or very deep and complex in true meaning. Snake Charmer is the latter, being a song about a man's battle with a pornographic addiction. Like hey, we've all been there, it's okay. 'I felt a stutter and a waiver, cutting like a razor Like fire through the snow, then straight down to the bone She creeps up like a spider, then wants you deep inside her She turns you into stone, a twisted little show' That's him when he sees like an online ad or something that lures him in. He sees it and gets that overwhelming feeling that he HAS to watch it. 'That's how it was all to begin, cause good girls they like to sin Way back at the starting line, when Eve was on Adam's mind And he was the first to go, in search of the great unknown And falling yet again, cause good girls they like to sin' Just talking about society and the sexualization of our culture, and how it's always been a driving force in civilization. Basically that it's a natural, primal desire, and that his addiction is a personal paradox. You know, you watch it, you love it, it ends, you hate yourself, and it starts all over again the next day. 'You are a hero and survivor, your eyes are getting tired There's claw marks up your spine, it happens all the time Those silent evil daughters, like sirens on the water You've been the perfect crime, it happens all the time' So maybe this infers that he eventually got over his addiction, how it happens to everyone, and that it's a never-ending cycle that passes from guy to guy (or even girl to girl?) Just my interpretation, please don't take it as some religiously fanatical rant; it's not like that, promise. |

| Justin Bieber – Love Yourself Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I really think that this song is about a failed relationship with a modern American girl. Social media has conditioned some women to believe that they can do no wrong and that the the world revolves their existence. This has led to a lot of women taking up a narcissistic, materialistic view on life. The Bieb basically is dating a girl that is caught up in all that trash and simply calls her out on it. If she's obsessed with herself THAT much that she refuses give an inch in a her relationship, then she should just go date, or, love herself. A snobby, self-centered, stuck-up product of our quixotic society. |

| The Districts – Peaches Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
As a teenager/young person, we are often consumed by idealistic ideologies that the world is a "happy" place, with an abundance of like-minded people and great opportunity. When he (Rob) becomes an adult and experiences more (say, a heart-break, loss of loved one, a failed dream), he is shattered by a dismal realism that hits him like a storm. He is left doubting all things he once held close, like love, innocence, and religion perhaps? Given his new, dark outlook on life, he finds himself reminiscent of a simpler time, and disappointed at what he's become after having such wonderful (but now estranged) dreams of leading an optimistic life. What once was color looks gray, and what once was living seems to be withering. |

| The Districts – Lyla Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
In the Telephone album, the prevalent theme that Rob Grote (who I'm assuming writes the majority of the lyrics) always comes back to is the "loss" of the girl he loved/loves. She has moved on and is comfortable without him, and that is what's worst of all. Although she is living and well, all (Rob) knows is the girl that he had loved, and now that she has gone so abruptly and is an entirely different person, he can only reflect on her memories as if she were dead. In a less elegant sense: You know when you've been dating someone for while, then you suddenly break-up and never see them again, so it strangely feels as if they died or something? It's as if one second you have all these hopes and aspirations to share with each other in the future, but in just an instant, it's all gone. At least, it is to Lyla. Yet, he continues to yearn for what they once had. |
