What are some websites/blogs that break down song meanings?
I noticed this metafilter post today and thought that that sort of lyric breakdown was really interesting. Are there any websites or blogs that do the same sort of thing?
I'm not looking for sites like songmeanings.com; I'd prefer something more structured and organized than anonymous comments.

Rap Genius is one.
There are also ones dedicated to individual artists, like e.g. Neil Young.

The Hold Steady has a wiki with lyrics and some pages about recurring places/references/characters. There's also This Might Be A Wiki for They Might Be Giants stuff, though that seems to be less focused on interpretation.

I don't agree with a lot of the interpretations here, but this is a good read if you're at all interested in The Pogues
