It’s, surprisingly enough, at [http://www.songmeanings.net](http://www.songmeanings.net) . Or more precisely, it isn’t there. First it was, then it wasn’t, then it was for a short while, and now it’s in a perpetual state of coming.
I mean, it was a great site. Good for lyrics, and I learnt a lot about some of my favorite songs.

It’s like the internet version of Waiting for Godot. ☹
I doubt songmeanings will be coming back any time soon…the operators were not exactly of the most stable age, if I recall correctly.

Weren’t they supposed to get a new server or something? They had a whip-round for money and all.
