Eve 6 – Friend Of Mine Lyrics 20 years ago
wow, these lyrics are really a mess...

most notably, "Remember the place that direction you wake/And help save your generation" should be "Remember that Blake said to make sure you wake and help save your generation"

Brand New – The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows Lyrics 20 years ago
emericanskater: sure.

the very title of the song implies that it has to do with an event that should be kept secret.

the first verse discusses an illicit encounter between two lovers, and is addressed to the woman with whom the man is having an affair. the word 'tryst' usually connotes a secretive meeting between lovers, and the lines following it 'neither clear nor descript,' 'kept it safe and slow,' 'no one ever knows' show that the two lovers tried desperately to hide this meeting.

the second verse is addressed to the man's wife, and it describes a bleak wedding, implying that the marriage of the two was doomed from the start, leading him to seek satisfaction with another woman--the one involved in the tryst of the first verse. as for the line about children, parents about to divorce often make it a point to tell their children that the breakup is not their fault; this line makes reference to that commonly heard phrase by inverting it, saying that the couple are so confused about this sudden breakup that they desperately need a scapegoat, illustrating what a mess this affair has caused.

the chorus is about the affair being discovered. 'keep the blood in your head and keep your feet on the ground' is a plea for all parties involved to stay calm. the next two lines explain that he has grown tired of the marriage and so sought affection elsewhere. however, in the aftermath of his wife finding out, he begins to regret his decision. 'my body in bed' refers not to his own body, but to his wife's; 'all for an empty hotel' reveals that he has been kicked out of the house and is now sleeping alone. the final line, 'wasting words on lowercases and capitals,' implies that he's writing a letter of some kind, but can't find the right words to express his feelings. perhaps this is an apology, or perhaps being found out has driven him to suicide.

the final refrain, 'i lie for only you' is addressed once more to the woman with whom he had been having the affair. 'i lie well' and the half-mumbled 'hallelujah' sarcastically note that he wasn't as good a liar as he believed he was, and his life has been thrown into turmoil because of it.

it seems pretty clear that this song is about an affair which is discovered and leads to a divorce.

Alkaline Trio – This Could Be Love Lyrics 21 years ago
wuzelwazel, continental:

i've got a dying urge to feel the way you do
too close for comfort, bed and breakfast in a spoon
the shortest breath of your young life
a long walk home on friday night
you made one last stop at the store
so close to perfect
swear to hell, thought it was you
this bouncing baby boy's now turning baby blue
i've got your pictures on my walls
i've got a long list of calls i must make
to your existing family

you had nine lives and one by one you chewed 'em up
your final coffin nail's been driven far too much
this won't take long, you said, i'm not going far
go wait in the car
go wait in the car

i often wonder what it feels like to be you
a mess like this stuck on your hands with crazy glue
ran out of time, no kiss goodbye
wish i could learn to let this sleeping dog die
without lying to myself

the demo sounded like 'bathe,' but it's clearly 'play' on the final recording.

Our Lady Peace – Innocent Lyrics 22 years ago
all i said was 'everyone in america will be listening to this,' without further comment on whether or not that is a good thing. the song was written to be catchy, and it is.

p.s. - i'd take a thousand screaming teenyboppers over the pretension and arrogance of one who thinks they're 'elite' for listening to 'underground' music. there is an extraordinary amount of good 'underground' music, but that doesn't mean that everything 'mainstream' is inherently bad, or that one is better than someone 'far too consumed with music they don't have to think about' just because they listen to 'non-mainstream' stuff.
