Not that the lyrics needs any explanation, but I can't believe no one commented on this.
This is one of THE BEST Venerea songs out there....

it's several months now since we mentioned love
a play in a down-beat groove that we can't get out of
don't know if we're hunters or collectors, you and i
used to be mad about you
now it's more like Spy vs. Spy
but who would i spy on if you die
i can't tell what makes me stay
what it is that's keeping me here
and i can't say what drives me away
away from you
and i can't say who i'll be lying to today
and i can't tell if i trust myself
not looking for adventure, but i'm sick of security
guess that's the cul-de-sac of immature maurity
i've made my choices and i'm following through
but i keep hearing voices
and none of them belong to you
i don't know what to do
i can't tell what makes me stay
what it is that's keeping me here
and i can't say what drives me away
away from you
and i can't say who i'll be lying to today
and i can't tell if i trust myself
i can't tell what makes me stay
make me stay, make me stay
make me stay, make me stay
stay away from me

make me stay, make me stay
stay away from me

Zombie
Cranberries, The
Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
-
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over"
Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead.
"But you see it's not me
It's not my family"
References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.
Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
Blank Space
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her.
"I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this.
"You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially.
With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media.
It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame.
I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships.
It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
