"they'll kill a man for what his fathers done, but what my father did, no it don't mean shit..im not him" i may be a woman, not a man...but this is how my relationship is with my father, how i feel towards him..... ah. conor marry me :) |

| Bright Eyes – Sunrise, Sunset Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"when was the last time you looked in the mirror Because you've changed" makes complete sense people notice things in us that we choose to ignore. and even things that we don't even choose to ignore, its things we wish we could find out ourselves but we just cant...everyone passes judgements and somehow people have their opinions on what we're feeling when we don't even know ourselves. |

| Bright Eyes – The Calendar Hung Itself . . . Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
what an amazing song, and i finally just understood this part: "I was determined in Chicago but I dug my teeth into my knees and I settled for a telephone and sang into your machine" as if he was determined to go there, tell her something, see her, her family, her friends, or visit her memory, or THEIR memory. but he knew he couldn't or shouldn't go so he settled for that one telephone call. and i don't think biting into his knees was just like a metaphor or whatever it's called, it probably is what he does to keep his mouth shut...so painful but so is love. |

| Bright Eyes – Lover I Don't Have to Love Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
oh, and i decided i'd elaborate on what i think about this, my other favorite part, thats why i said "I THINK" "I want a lover I don't have to love I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk Where's the kid with the chemicals I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full I need some meaning I can memorize The kind I have always seems to slip my mind" somebody, such as i, just wants somebody they don't get attached to cause if you do, it only brings pain, so you make yourself believe you want a lover you don't HAVE to love, but you want to, and you feel like you need to. and wanting a boy who is so drunk he doesn't talk makes complete sense because he doesn't have to cause you problems, he could be drunk on his sorrows as much as you, drunk and sad over you, and its just a longing. having a hunger where you cant seem to get full to me is where you want something, but you dont know what you want. you want a change, but you dont know what it is. do you want happiness, sex, drugs, love, friends? and needing meaning you can memorize cause the kind you have always slips your mind relates to me most out of that part. i am always longing for inspiration and such, and motivation. you want something to inspire/motivate you, and you can't find it within yourself so you look everywhere else for it. |

i completely agree with these lyrics right here: "You write such pretty words But life's no storybook Love's an excuse to get hurt And to hurt Do you like to hurt? I do, I do Then hurt me" it is so completely true and how i can relate to it, i don't know. but it's my favorite part....i think |

| Bright Eyes – It's Cool, We Can Still Be Friends Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
i admit i cannot really relate to the beginning of the song, but the truth does lie here: "And you say that I hurt you, in a voice like a prayer Yeah, you say that I hurt you, and your voice is like a prayer Yeah, well, maybe I hurt you sometimes, let's contrast and compare Lift up your shirt, the wound isn't there I guess that your truth is just the ghost of your lies I guess your kind of truth is just the ghost of your lies Your kind of truth, darling, is just the ghost of your lies I see through them all the time So I'm pouring some whiskey, I'm gonna get drunk Yeah, I'm pouring myself some whiskey, I'm gonna get real fucking drunk I'm pouring some whiskey right now, I'm going to get so so drunk Pass out, and forget your face by the time I wake up" except i don't pour myself whiskey, it's usually Jager. |

| Carly Simon – You're So Vain Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
so i think it's a mix between Mick Jagger and Jack Nicholson... the reason i do not think that it is about Mick is because he sang background vocals in this song if you listen closely, or even recognize what his voice sounsd like...So I don't think she'd write this song and ask him to sing in it unless she knew he was completely fucking retarded. i think it's about Jack...i don't know they're history, but they had one. and i bet that they KNOW that this song is about him..why would she write stuff such as "Then you flew your lear jet up to Nova Scotia To see the total eclipse of the sun Well you're where you should be all the time And when you're not you're with Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend Wife of a close friend..." if it had never happened? not for a good rhyme or song, but it has meaning. and when he heard it, i bet he knew it was him. i believe she has only told ONE person who this song is about...my mom told me about it, so did my dad, that some man, i forgot his name, paid her like millions for her to tell him. i think it was even on national tv, and she whispered it to him? or maybe that was a rumor, but he paid and she told him. and he knows. and so does she. and whoever this song is about is probably very vain, they think the song is about them because it is...and thats just her excuse for writing it. |

my favorite part of this song is " I could have been a famous singer If I had someone else's voice But failure's always sounded better Let's fuck it up boys, make some noise!" it makes complete sense, because if you don't fail at things, you don't have really learn that much, or have a story to actually tell in the end with a moral, in my opinion. failure has always sounded better. if it hadn't, we wouldn't have conor and the music that he writes. |

| Gym Class Heroes – The Queen and I Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i think instead of "if you could put numb in a shotglass" it is "if you could put DUMB in a shotglass" i think megn412 is wrong and whoever edited this is wrong because it makes sense... "if you could but DUMB in a shotglass im just another lush who's had one too many in me" as in if dumb was a drink, thats what he gets drunk off, he feels DUMB. it makes a lot of sense, actually. | |

i'm not even too sure how to make a comment about this song, and what it means to me. since i heard it, when me and my ex started dating last summer, the last part stuck to me when i heard "the sound of loneliness makes me happier" i didnt know the song name, so i looked it up. and got hooked ever since. its always been my favorite bright eyes song. im in class, so i dont have time to write more since the bell is going to ring. i'll comment on it later. |

| Bright Eyes – You Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
whenever i hear this song, i gasp, or i sigh. because i've listened to it so many times, and i can relate to it even more each time. each little analogy, excuse me for lack of a better word, that he uses is so understandable, and just makes you want to sing it while being so happy that you can relate this song to yourself and your thoughts, while your upset at the same time because you actually do relate to it, and it sucks at the same time. this is one of the greatest songs with some amazing lyrics. one of the best songs Conor has ever written, and with no exagerration needed Conor is the best lyricist I've ever known of in my life. this song makes me long for more, and makes me long for what i used to have, or just some sort of feeling since lately i just feel nothing at all. it almost makes me want to feel what Conor feels, even though for the most part this song sounds like through his great amount of pain he is understanding, or accepting what the situation is. conor oberst is a genius, he is a god in my eyes. the way he writes is a way i probably will never see anybody else write in my life. don't be surprised if i leave another comment on this again, since it is one of my favorite songs of all time. "cause if you don't then this books all lies. if you dont then my plans would all be ruined. if you don't i'll start drinking like the way i drank before...and i just won't have a future anymore" |

i will agree with the people who have said this is such a "Fuck You" type of song. Whenever I hear it, just like Conor says in the song, BURDENS ARE LIFTED FROM ME, and when i hear the chorus in the background it is so very chilling, yet brings such relief when I hear it. It makes me want to say fuck you to everything that's hurt me......especially to those who i've loved who've said fuck you to me. this song gives me an adrenaline rush. Conor gives me an adrenaline rush. AMAZING song. |

| Bright Eyes – Lua Lyrics | 18 years ago |

i first heard this song with my ex boyfriend. we were watching a Coachella DVD, and this wasn't the first time I heard Bright Eyes but seeing him sing this with such feeling/emotion amazed me. I remember at the end of his song Lua, it showed a girl in the very front row crying. And i know I'd be the same way. I believe it both can or has to do with cocaine and eating disorders. Conor, of course, has done drugs. If it isn't obvious, then let's just say this is the twenty first century and everobody has had some sort of experience with some sort of drug or eating disorder. And I believe he writes about both, or does both, because of his broken hearts. It's very numbing...And it takes away from real life. |

| Bright Eyes – I've Been Eating (For You) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
this song is incredible. the symbolism and analogies that Conor always uses in his lyrics are so incredibly amazing, and completely relatable. He's a very real person, not worried about fame, or who he gets to, just about himself and his music, and whichever girl broke his heart at the time. Although heartbreak hurts, it's so inspirational. you can be completely in love with somebody, but talk so much shit on them because they were willing to break your heart. |

first off, this website is called "songmeanings". we're mostly commenting on what we think it means, or means to us. oh well. i'll write something meaningful. this song is an anthem for the way most girls live. it's an honest song from an honest woman, who isn't afraid to speak of how she lives, and how most girls live. she just isn't afraid to say it, and i admit, i can completely relate this song. |
