| Kansas – Dust In The Wind Lyrics

Actually I would go a step further and interpret this song as saying that nothing at all matters. Even friends and family (and your belief in God) is "dust in the wind." |

| Sting – When We Dance Lyrics
| 11 years ago
|
This song is obviously about a romance that is not meant to be. Even though she is "promised" to or with someone else, they fall in love. The reference to hiding angels and heaven and hell refer to their love being forbidden.
Really reminds me of Radiohead's "House of Cards." |

| Bat for Lashes – Deep Sea Diver Lyrics
| 11 years ago
|
He (the person addressed in this song) has been somewhere "dark" that took his toll on him. She (the singer) is here to support and tell him everything is going to be ok. She knows what situation he is in, even if he thinks she doesn't.
"Love like you never" and the following lines are most likely about sex (or "love"). This might lead to the interpretation that the "dark place" he was in was a relationship that, according to her, did not go so well. |

| Morphine – I'm Free Now Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
He screwed up, they split up. Now he is free from the relationship but feels pretty bad about himself.
The one thing I find interesting is that "the last thing I want to do is cause you pain" is present and not past tense. |

| Pearl Jam – Wishlist Lyrics

|
It's about living. About truly and really feeling your life and living your love - the opposite of numbness and apathy. |

| Laura Nyro – Tom Cat Goodby Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
Quite the powerful and impressive song.
It is about the singer's husband ("I got your name, Tom, I got your children") cheating on her ("he cheats like a tom cat - He lies"). The music, and lyrics, changes tempo and feeling rather often - she seems to be contemplating her situation. |

I agree with bigdt87.
btw, great moments of silence at the beginning of this track. It is like a pianist waiting a few short moments before starting to play. The anticipation of the beauty to come. |

I agree with CoyoteLongshot's interpretation of the song.
I can't wait for the release of the album - I really look forward to another album that tell's a story and is not just another patch-work of various songs. |

I think Annett Louisan should be played on the radio and become famouse for writing those lyrics.
I know no similar artists that can describe scenes and situations like this. |

| Porcupine Tree – Collapse The Light Into Earth Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
It's the end. While I will never be the same, I won't try to stop it from happening.
One of the few songs in which there is no hope ("I won't heal given time."). A nice alternative to most "it'll be alright" lyrics and tunes.
At least that is the way I see the song. |

| Wolfsheim – Kein Zurück Lyrics

|
|
This song is about not being able to go back. Looking back, thinking about the mistakes. Whether this song applies to childhood, a relationship, or death is, in my opinion, impossible to guess. |
