| Vance Joy – Georgia Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
I think this song is sung from a man’s perspective about what once was a troubled relationship with a girl or more of a one-sided one. “She is electricity running though my sole” May mean when she’s not around it feels like she’s always there, inside of him. “And I could easily lose my mind, the way you kiss me will work each time” could be implying that he forgets about all their worries / troubles when they kiss and take him to an easier place. I think the man (the storyteller) decides to leave his partner which then he sings “I never understood what was at stake, I never thought your love was worth the wait.” Now that she’s gone, be missing and regrets his decision. He didn’t realise how much he was giving up until it was gone. “I never should have told you, I never should of let you see inside, don’t want it troubling your mind” Is telling us the storyteller wishes he hadn’t told her his feelings because he didn’t want it troubling her mind as he still wants to be with her. “Well you’ve come and gone I’ve finally worked it” meaning now that’s she’s left, he’s wishing she were still around |

I saw a comment suggesting that this song could be about a bromance, but I think it could be more on the romantic side. The guy (the one singing the song) sounds like he’s expressing his romantic feelings, and how he wishes he could display them towards Tim. The line “Tim, wish you were born a girl so I could have been your boyfriend” is pretty self explanatory- he wished Tim were a girl so there relationship could be more than just a friendship. The singer proceeds to say, “Those years of losing, confusion and insecurity could’ve been shared” …I think this is the singer implying if he had met Tim earlier he could have realised his sexuality and felt less insecure and more accepting about it. He then goes to say “I’m not saying you can’t be all those things for me, but it’s just not the same because you’re a man, and so am I.” Which I think may mean the singer is a closeted gay man that won’t admit to himself he’s in love with a man. In which he wishes tim were born a girl. |

| Sorority Noise – Dirty Ickes Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| This song speaks for itself really, the narrator sings about an ex girlfriend of his, explaining how he’s learnt to love himself since they’ve broken up. I believe he’s singing about how he loved her to his fully capacity, in which he sings “I taught myself French so I could tell you that I love you in ways you could never understand.” The lyrics in this song show he’s went and down all he can to prove to this girl he loves her, and it’s never been enough. | |

| This song’s lyrics really do confuse me. Quite honestly I believe this song could have many possible story outcomes, but here is what I think it could be about; the narrator sings about himself, feeling out of place. He tells the story of him moving away, and meeting a girl, who shares the similar problem of “not being enough” and feeling out of place. She explains to the narrator she’s “unworthy” as her past boyfriend left her. She continues to list her qualities but can’t find an explanation on why he could have possibly left her. We know this as she states “I’m friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty, but he needed more than me” we see that the narrator falls for this girl and he sings “she don’t know her worth in this town”. We see that the validation from other men make her feel wanted, as it brings her joy when she gets checked out. By the end of the song we learn the narrator hope the girl gets “better” and realised her worth, as our narrator can no longer take it anymore. \nSo, overall I believe this song is about a man singing about a girl he’s fallen in love with, and has tried to show her she’s more than an object, but in the end he couldn’t watch her get hurt anymore | |

| I found this song’s lyrics rather interesting, and couldn’t find any explanation on what the song was written about, or referring to. I searched the lyrics and have come to a conclusion on what it may be about; \nI believe the narrator is singing about an ex, and the things that occurred which lead to her leaving him. \n“…Were a product of the lack you left\nWhen you stepped back and racked your brain\nFor a reason to stay” \nCould be suggesting she’s taken a look at her relationship overall, and was finding reasons to stay.\n“But you could not seem to formulate\nAny such thought in your head” \nMeaning she’s now come to the decision she had to leave her relationship. \n\n“So you left with nothing more than a reason you kept silent and my mind would riot, stuck in self-perpetuated mental violence” \nThis line is telling us she had left without any explanation which lead to the narrator going somewhat ‘crazy’ and wondering what rid her. \n\n“When you would look back\nAnd think of all the little things you regret\nI just wanted you to think of me when you think back\nTo all the things you regret” \nIs the narrator explaining he hopes at the end of the day when she looks back on their relationship, she regrets learning him. \n\n“I chose to dismiss the possible instance\nThat the lips I love to kiss\nCould form the words goodbye”\nThis line is talking about how he (the narrator) chose to ignore the possibility his partner could leave him. \n\n“Because I was ashamed to admit the problem\nAnd pretend your happiness came from me\nAnd that your happiness was important” \nMight mean deep down he knew your happiness wasn’t due to him, and that he was ashamed to admit his happiness meant more to him then yours. \n\n“And find love within the arms of another\nInstead of this heart of mine\nAnd that’s fine, because I would do the same\nAnd I would leave me\nNot because I’m useless, and not because I’m broken\nNot because I’m sad, and not because I’m worthless\nBut because I saw value in your smile and not in your values” \n\nThis is the narrator coming to terms with you finding a new lover. He stated it’s “fine” but not because he’s useless, sad, broken or worthless, but because he’s come to terms he couldn’t appreciate you in the right ways one should appreciate a partner. \n\n“And I’m sorry, and I love you\nAnd that’s why I can finally sleep at night\nBecause you are free and you can thrive\nAnd I’m just happy I got to be a part of your life”\n\nIs him explaining he’s sorry and loves her, and finds comfort in the fact he knows someone can love her the way she needs to be loved, and is grateful he got to be a part of her life. \n\n“Because I spent so long trying to change you\nNot realizing I was the one who needed to change” \nComing into realisation that he kept trying to change her when he was the one who needed to change. \n\n“I was selfish to assume you loved me more than you love yourself\nEven though I never felt the same” \nThe narrator could be suggesting throughout their relationship he thought she loved him more than she loved herself, which lead him into thinking he could treat her how he wanted without worrying the consequences. He states he knows it’s selfish as he didn’t feel the same. \n\n-So, in conclusion, I think this song is about a man taking advantage and taking his girlfriend for granted. Treating her unfairly throughout the relationship as he believed she’d accept his behaviour because she “loved him more than herself” and the stages of grief he went through after she had left him, realising he done her wrong. By the end of the song we learn his ex was a huge part of his life but he couldn’t communicate that to her because of his selfishness. | |
| The Cardboard Swords – Flannel Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| I think the narrator is talking about a past lover, who doesn’t seem to want him anymore. \n“You said that I should get a clue, well I did, and it was to rid my heart of you” \nCould be referring to the past lover telling him to move on. \n\n“I found a clue, but I still can’t stop thinking about you” \nMay mean he’s possibly moved, or started to move on, but can’t stop thinking about her. \n“So fuck with my heart at your leisure, that’s how it goes or it’s been going lately” \nIs referring to himself being used to fill in the free time. \n\n“ Stay warm in that flannel that I left on your bed, there was no way in hell I could put it on after that, \'cause we were both soaking wet. And I apologize if from time to time, it makes you think of me” \nIs referencing a memory they shared together, and apologising if his shirt reminds her of those times. \n\n“I had to change my way home from work because I couldn’t even stand to drive by her and see her on her front lawn, bikini on, getting a tan.” \nThe narrator explains he has to make changes about his life because there are constant reminders she no longer wants him.\n\n“Someone, somewhere, said all good things end. \nSo, what in my mind made me think this time would be different?”\nIs talking about how he knows all good things end, and questions why he made himself think this time would be different. \n\nOverall I think this song is about a man missing his ex girlfriend, and how he should have seen the signs it wasn’t going to last | |
