High life
(Da da da da da da da)
(Da da da da da da da)
My rock candy passion is bittersweet
And armed to the teeth
'Cause she would rather fall in chocolate
Than fall in love
Especially with me
I stood under the waterfall
With a kiwi-pineapple parasol
As Cinderella dropped the crystal ball
And made a concrete cavern
A caterpillar concert hall
I wish that we could sail our sad days away
Forever
In deep blue seas of papier-mâché
(Let's dance in the moonlight)
A barracuda chased our dog days away
Forever
Let's sink or swim 'til we fall in love
(And dance in the moonlight)
When we join the yacht club
I would rather go swimming
With great white sharks
Than wade in romance
'Cause I can never find the courage
To ask her to dinner
Or even to dance
(Dance in the moonlight)
Don't sweat under your overcoat
'Cause my heart can harbor this paddle boat
You'll hit the bottom of the highest note
And the chatty tree frogs will never wanna
Leave your throat
I wish that we could sail our sad days away
Forever
In deep blue seas of papier-mâché
(Let's dance in the moonlight)
A barracuda chased our dog days away
Forever
Let's sink or swim 'til we fall in love
(And dance in the moonlight)
When we join the yacht club
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Let go of the world you know
And plug in the partyin' lights
Soak your cares in the solar flares
That light up these island nights
Orange eclipse I can taste your lips
In the citrus afternoon
If you can fly don't stop at the sky
'Cause there's footprints on the moon
(With you)
I wish that we could sail our sad days away
Forever
In deep blue seas of papier-mâché
(Let's dance in the moonlight)
A barracuda chased our dog days away
Forever
Let's sink or swim 'til we fall in love
(And dance in the moonlight)

Techno Ted

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
LIGHTS and Owl CIty! Amazing!
Let me start by saying I love this song... Lights and Owl City, yess . (:
Thw whole song is very lighthearted, and the meaning is pretty obvious once you get around all the metaphors. My interpretation of the song is that, basically, he is in love with a girl (a bittersweet passion) but, frankly, she would rather 'fall in chocolate than fall in love, especially with him.' The chorus states that he wants to be happy, dance in the moonlight, join 'the yacht club', and sail away all their sad days- kind of like a fantasy.
But he's so nervous whenever he's around her.. So much that he'd rather go swimming with great white sharks then wade in romance. Then, in the final verse, he kind of says don't stop trying-there's footprints on the moon! Your fantasy could still come true.
However as always it's hard to wrap my head around some parts of these lyrics, so anyone care to elaborate on my explination?
Really good explanation! I just wanna add he's probably in love with a kinda tomboy/tougher girl who doesn't like the whole lovey dovey thing.
This is the first Owl City song I really listened to, apart from the DJ Strobe remix of Fireflies (it's a good listen, I recomend it!)
I'm not gonna lie, I only listened to this song because of LIGHTS, but it made me give Owl City a chance :)
These two need to make a lot more music together, like a duet album. :P
great voice combination! I like the phrase 'If you can fly, don't stop at the sky, 'cause there's footprints on the moon, It was you' :D

Ahh, love Lights and Owl City, so glad they did this song together! It was perfect for Lights's voice, too. Definitely a song about having difficulty with the opposite gender, sort of like Deer in the Headlights but with a different vibe to it, like giving up sort of and the other person being oblivious to it all whilst "Deer" is sort of about trying but failing.
I love the synth solo in the middle.

i dont understand this part, although i love the ideas of caterpillars dressed up in little tuxedoes and watching an orchestra. Teeheehee
At the concert I went to in Boston, right before the synth solo, the whole band stopped playing and Adam goes, "I know there's a lot of awkward dancing up here, but if you want to join in, feel free." Then the band burst out playing. I seriously considered jumping up there and dancing with Adam.
Don't you think the part "with you" is "It was you" ?? ... Anyway, the song's really nice.. Recently I've downloaded some of Lights' musics. Some of them are really good but to me their lyrics is not very good. you know, not as good as Adam's :P
