why aye ye fucka! |

this song was played acoustic by a guy in the church at the funeral of a friend of mine who commit suicide because it was his favourite song. beautiful. there were a few dry eyes up til that point but there were none after.

| Dire Straits – Once Upon A Time In The West Lyrics

i dont think its about the wild west as such but possibly uses the wild west as a metaphor for londons west end. there are ample clues in the song telling us that hes talking about modren life; sunday driver, driving test, driving on the grass.
see also the song wild west end from same album |

i think this song is about the pain felt at the loss of a loved one. its also about death and addiction. although at first glance this isnt so apparent on closer inspection and analysis, i think youll find it is... |

its actaully about a transvestite drug dealer from dublin who used to travel to belfast to do business which is where van came in contact with him when he himself was just a boy. maddame georges death obviously had an effect on morrison. "dry your eye for maddame george" |

| The Frames – Fake Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
this song is about damien rice. at first listening one might think he is addressing a girl whos left him for someone else but this is just a clever guise and really hes addressing the fans who now love damien rice instead of him.
if your reading this glen hansard (from the frames) and youre thinking of denying this, pause for a moment and think. maybe you think this is not what you meant but if you look deeper into yourself i think youll see that on a subconsious level it actually is.
"and it was my mistake kicking in his door" is refering to how you brought damien rice to the limelight in your program voices from a room giving him lots of publicity you later regretted.
i dont think you should "forget us" |

what does it matter you guys? why cant everyone just get along and enjoy the music man?
i mean maybe i doesnt really mean anything and they were the only words he could think of that rhymed or something. thom yorke was probably so blitzed when he wrote and sang this that HE doesnt even know what the words are!
and here you all are getting so caught up! |

its actually a peom written by patrick kavanagh but i think its about a guy for falls for a girl even though he knows hell get hurt. she is quite promiscous but monogamy is very important to him. and so he ends up distraught |

| Damien Rice – Volcano Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
i think its about unrequited love. she is crazy about him but he is trying to tell her in subtle ways that he doesnt feel the same. "what i am to you, is not what you mean to me"
and when he says "give me miles and miles of mountains and ill ask for the sea" hes saying nothing she ever gives him will ever be good enough. |

i cant figure out, "float like a cannon ball" does this mean sink like a stone or does it mean to soar? as cannon balls do both really! |

i think its about the highs and lows and general emotional rollercoaster that is being in love.
VESPER TEEN, i like your simple and honest to god interpretations of songs. at least you can form your own opinions without having to "research" what someone else says a song is about. |
