Refugiados sobre el diván
Agitados por nuestras formas
Algo ocurrió, una extraña sensación, un presentimiento
Tuve que dejar de hacer el amor en el momento

Fui en busca de un abrigo
Encendí un cigarrillo, tenía miedo
Y ahí lo vi, un misil en mi placard, en mi placard
Un modelo para armar, pero nunca para desarmar

Te miré tristemente
No hay más tiempo que perder, sonreíste
Estaba ahí, un misil en mi placard, en mi placard
Un modelo para armar, pero nunca para desarmar

Aquí también, creías que estabas lejos
También, creías que estabas lejos

    Realmente, este tema me tiene confundido. ¿Que carajo es ese misil en su placard? ¿Un consolador?. Por favor, que alguien (lease m.i.l.o.) aporte alguna idea.

    ¡Ja! Un consolador... la idea no es tan descabellada. El tipo pasa una noche con una mujer, de pronto se despierta en la madrugada, tiene frío, busca algo para abrigarse y se encuentra con un aparato de 30 cms. Ta' salado, jajaja. Pero en serio, esta canción siempre me gustó mucho, pero nunca entendí el tema del "misil en mi placard", aunque veo una leve conexión entre "un modelo para armar" con el libro homónimo de Julio Cortázar. También hay un disco de Juan Carlos Baglietto del mismo nombre. Andá a saber...

    Hace poco, Cerati dijo en la radio que escribió ese tema mientras miraba una Playboy.

    ok, creo q cerati estaba echando un polvito, pero "algo le pasa" (tuve q dejar de hacer el amor...) quiza no lo stisface. bueno, la vaina es, q el tipo se estresa, y de pronto lo ve.. el "misil" o consolador, vibrola, como kieran llamarle. parece q la vaina lo envicia, (un modelo para armar, pero nunca para desarmar) o sea q una vez q armas la vaina no la puedes desarmar (me explico?), entonces la parte de "aqui tambien...etc" es q el tipo echa su polvito con la vieja, pero a distancia (o sea masturbandose con el vibrador). y ok, eso es lo q creo, como se trata de cerati, no me sorprende esa letra pervertida jejejee

    Bueno, para mi y por lo que he discutido con muchos amigos, me parece que el "misil en su placard" es un Preservativo. Estaba revolcandose con su novia por ahi y al empezar a hacer el maor se dio cuenta que lo que menos necesitaba en su vida era un bebe en ese momento, el abrigo era para su pene y la sensacion fue de otra senscaion al hacer el amor sin condon, el "frio". Luego que lo encontro, ya no habia mas tiempo que perder para volver a empezar y ella sonrio por que era lo unico que queria. La linea de armar y desarmar es lo unico que queda dudoso pero creo que representa que despues de sacar el preservativo de su envase nunca vulve al mismo sitio, a desarmarse.

    No está mal, no esta mal... hace poco me puse a pensar que el tema fue escrito a fines de los ochenta y puede ser una referencia a la guerra de Malvinas que sucedió por esa época. Un misil en mi placard/La guerra colándose en la vida de los jóvenes de aquella época.

    buenas los ultimas ideas aqui, gracias... si hay una cancion de ellos q nunca he entendido en lo mas minimo, q nunca me ha dicho nada, ha sido esta... ahora tengo un por de ideas ... lo del vibrador como q no tiene sentido, es solamente una gruesa casi forzada interpretacion falica... yo creo mas en las ultimas 2, mas sutiles, coherentes y significativas

    el tema trata de lo siguiente: cerati encuentra al amante de su novia (o de la mujer con que estaba en ese momento) en el ropero. Por eso dice que tuvo que dejar de hacer el amor e IR EN BUSCA DE UN ABRIGO... tenia un presentimiento y se encontro con este tremendo pastel

    por que todos los temas de soda, les parecen referidos al sexo? tienen la idea fija eh.. jaja.. estoy 100 popr ciento seguro que se refiere a una situacion relacionada con ´´la guerra de las malvinas´´, ´´creias que estabas lejos´´se refiere a que creias que nunca te iba a tocar ir, pero tenes que ir, el frio, el miedo... todo hace alusion a la tragica guerra de las malvinas donde los ingleses, con ayuda de CHILENOS, nos robaron las islas la guerra es un modelo para armar pero nunca para desarmar.

Love in a Vacuum
'Til Tuesday
Well, in my opinion this song is about being a young & maybe a little naive &/or introverted girl and finding yourself loving a man who is at first very charming, carefree & outgoing, and seems at first to be without limits, as in "There was a time you opened up every doorway you didn't mind if everything wasn't your way" then that man starts to gradually become more introverted & shows their more possessive/obsessive side to you as the relationship progresses, even while they keep up the appearance of being carefree & outgoing to everyone else, "Don't pull away that goes against what you told me I look in your eyes I realize what you've sold me is love in a vacuum" so you confront them about the way they're acting and of course they deny it, "I think you've changed but you insist that that's not true" quite possibly they are an addict of some sort, my guess would be cocaine, &/or showing very obsessive behavior towards you (early on in the video for this song we see the man hanging a picture up, it is a very large portrait of Aimee & it is prominently displayed in his/their apartment for the duration of the song), thus their "love in a vacuum", "You look so strange, so distant that you're hardly you Now I can see how you have been acting different You say it's me but I know that it isn't it's love in a vacuum" but still you are in love with them and don't want to leave them and you know that they are truly in love with you and they don't want you to leave them either, maybe they are convinced you can save them from themself, maybe they are so broken that the possibility of an overdose &/or suicide attempt is very real and you want to get through to them that their behavior not only dangerous but it is also just pissing you off and if they don't wise up they run the risk of loosing you, as in the lines "You will be lonely if you leave me alone", so you want to save them but can't get through to them due to the addiction &/or emotional problems they have, "Love in a vacuum and that's not enough love in a vacuum You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way You will be lonely if you leave me alone You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way it's just not enough" you want them to understand that the love they are giving you is not enough when it is filtered through the vacuum of their drug addiction &/or emotional impairment, "You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way it's just not enough and just wait you will be lonely Love in a vacuum Love in a vacuum and that's not enough Love in a vacuum". 'Love In A Vacuum' for me is a hauntingly truthful acute argument on the loneliness of obsession and almost inevitable loss of love that follows people who are broken in some way or another; the obsessives, the coke heads, the drunks, addicts or the just-plain-old emotionally broken; a razor sharp, lyrically driven, deceptively poppy, yet ultimately-depressing-in-the-best-way song. Quintessential Aimee Mann.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
