Man, It's So Loud in Here

They Might Be Giants

They fixed up the corner store like it was a nightclub
It's permanently disco
Everyone is dressed so oddly
I can't recognize them
I can't tell the staff from the customers

Baby, check this out
I've got something to say
Man, it's so loud in here
When they stop the drum machine and I can think again

I'll remember what it was
You have to carry all your things
You can't misplace them
There's nowhere to place anything
Baby, check this out
I've got something to say
Man, it's so loud in here
When they stop the drum machine and I can think again

I'll remember what it was
They're all shouting something at us waving and pointing
They've revamped the airport completely now it looks
Just like a nightclub everyone's excited and confused

Baby, check this out
I've got something to say
Man, it's so loud in here
When they start the love machine and I can love again
I'll remember what it was

    Um, I'm pretty sure it's about how loud it is in dance clubs.

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”

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.
