Placebo – Drowning By Numbers Lyrics 19 years ago
mh, I'm a bit clueless here

"try losing this chromosome" reminds me of men having XY and women XX. Maybe he's in love with a man for the first time and doesn't really want to realize it and wishes that his guy could lose the Y chromosome and be a woman.

"such imagination always helps the feeling slide" could mean that it's easier for him to love his guy when he imagines he's a woman...
:-/ sick interpretation

anyway.... did anyone realize that the part "such imagination always helps the feeling slide" is almost exactly like in "Without you I'm nothing"??? --> "such imagination seems to help the feeling slide"???

Placebo – Long Division Lyrics 19 years ago
one of my absolute favorites

I think he wants to leave he person he's together with --> "all that I can do is make your fears come true" and "tears will multiply"
He's just sick of the relationship and wants to end it and even though his partner will be sad in the beginning, (s)he will eventually get over it.
In the first verse it sounds like his partner is leaving him alone too often (he's often feeling blue and has to masturbate alone instead of having sex). And when his partner is here, they're just having arguments --> (2nd verse)


I like the defiant tone of the song. It's not like the typical angry "I leave you because I hate you"-song, it sounds more like he really wanted the relationship to work and tried everything but can't handle the behavior of his partner any more and is tired of caring about feelings now. It's like "go f*** yourself, you've been playing around enough with my feelings, I leave you!"

Placebo – Leni Lyrics 19 years ago
wow, this song is so beautiful
I have the impression of seeing the scene in slow motion when listening to it cause the melody's kinda sedate and - I don't know - pasty....
