| Sneaker Pimps – Perfect One Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
We pretend to be perfect. Perfection is an illusion propagated by superstitions. We have all kinds of superstitions of which we are usually not even aware. Examples: If I give money to the poor, then I am a good person. If I try to be good, then I will have a comfortable life. If I eat well, then I will be healthy. It could be a superstition to believe that we are perfect, that water can be cleaned, or that people can be impartial. It's superstitious to place a mark or hang a star. Why do we believe that we can become the perfect one? |

| Jack White – Love Interruption Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
There are two loves. Perfect love is so amazing and all encompassing that we can’t even fully understand it. The other love is our interpretation and coinciding imitation of perfect love. Perfect love never truly harms us. Although we sometimes perceive perfect love as harm because we don’t fully understand or want what develops us and builds us stronger. So, perfect love feels like it wants to harm us in all kinds of cruel ways. Back to our love which attempts to mimic perfect love, I interpret the love which disrupts, corrupts and interrupts as our version of love. We cling. We are selfish. We don’t even know how to help others. We consider physical factors most important. Our love is wildly dependent. Still, we know that there is a better love which gives us hope. So, at the heart of the song is wanting love to transform you in ways you don’t understand. The line “Change my friends to enemies and show me how it’s all my fault.” reminds me of people who go through a life change where they join a new religion. You realize that all that you had done in your life was harmful to you. All the influences and even the way you treated yourself was making you an enemy to yourself. No one is ever your enemy in the sense that they cannot hide the beauty in everything from you. We hide life’s beauty from ourselves. There is that realization that people’s way is not the way though. They become like enemies merely because they are living the old life. They seem like threats to that view you found. |

| Pink Floyd – High Hopes Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
When we were young, the world had mystery. As we develop, we start to distinguish ourselves and long for anything other than what we have. Life makes us think that we can’t have what we think we want. We just keep on hoping, and the world just keeps on making hope seem futile. The unfurled flag is a declaration amid a hostile and confusing environment. Somehow, we still focus on hope after it has done nothing but draw us astray. Memory of the past and desire of the future always look better than the present. |

| Deftones – My Own Summer (Shove It) Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
The part which stands out to me is: "The shade is a tool, a device, a savior See, I try and look up to the sky But my eyes burn" Light is often symbolic of God. That light is often described as so glorious that anyone who sees it will be blinded. I think that the shade is symbolic for life. Life is a way in which we experience God's light without burning our delicate eyes. |

| Florence + the Machine – Blinding Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Illusion .... everything feels like illusion. Once you break through, you can't go back. You don't crave the things you once did. You know that others around are just in love with the wrong world and you don't blame them because you have been too. | |
| Florence + the Machine – Cosmic Love Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| The darkness is the mystery of our lives. We don't know why, how, what, where, and who we are. Our awareness of the eternal fades and returns. Sometimes we drift from the pattern of love only to sense our way back to that beating cosmic heart. | |
| Florence + the Machine – Howl Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I love the aspect of the beast being there before love released it. It is not as though the romantic connection created the beast. | |
| Pink Floyd – Yet Another Movie Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| We are united in life, in pain, in mediocrity, in lack of understanding and in death. | |
| Oasis – Wonderwall Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Some people change us without knowing they have. They make it impossible to go back to the way we were before they showed us who they are. It can't even be explained:) | |
| Florence + the Machine – Leave My Body Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Leave My Body is the road to peace. Peace is unavoidable when we are no longer attached to outcome. The world is a representation of something greater, something unknowable. Attachment to the world is silly when you know that it is only guiding you to love. The world is pain, but it is a growing pain. Pain helps to show us what we deeply need and in that way, the world is a system of unfathomable love. What we deeply need is not the world, so attachment to the world is silly. |

| My Morning Jacket – Wordless Chorus Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Fissure is whatever you do that breaks up your day. Stop chasing the world. Just live. We should be brokenhearted at the loss of love. | |
| Natalie Merchant – Thank You Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Before I knew the lyrics to this song I was hoping that it was about someone who was wronged and then through healing decided to thank the person who wronged them. I guess I should just write my own lyrics. | |
| Bush – Greedy Fly Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think this song is about the way we need to embrace life, because any other way isn't worth living. It's about giving in to different traps as a greedy simple organism in different ways while trying to find something that we need help to find. "We are servants to our formulaic ways" We choose to put ourselves in situations that control us, instead of deciding to be in control. We are in limbo, unsure of ourselves and our choices. We either choose to balance ourselves, or we choose to be balanced by forces of nature. "Ever know that what you fear is what you find" We eventually create what we envision as ourselves and for ourselves. |

| Garbage – Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
You hold a candle in your heart You shine a light on hidden parts I like the acceptance of all people, each with our own unique way of bringing the hidden parts to the whole of the way the world works. |

| Bush – Comedown Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
obviously a song about relationships. love and hate are entwined in such a way that we can't see between them sometimes. being in relationships we get so humbled because we see ourselves in the other person and when the hate comes, it gets focused inward. it is in our makeup to be paranoid and passionate the comedown is where you are after the "honeymoon phase" is over coming down from cloud nine and back into reality when you go through a lot with a person you find out what you need from a relationship, and you don't want to lose what you built love and hate breed one another and neither is ultimately true when one relationship ends, you think you'll never find what you had again in anyone else sometimes it is in our nature to go to the darkest place first and more often than the bliss |

| Joni Mitchell – Woodstock Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I believe this song speaks to how small we are on the face of this Earth, yet at the same time we are powerful. We are of the earth and yet we seem to be more valuable than it. Getting back to the garden reminds me of trips to the grocery store. Every time I see how far removed the eating experience is from nature, I am saddened. We do not live in harmony with nature anymore. I also see getting back to the garden as the innocence that is said to be in the garden of eden, similar to that of a child. |

| Cursive – A Little Song and Dance Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I sweat it out for hours on end For an end so obviously predetermined we worry so much, but in the end it always seems to follow the same patterns. Patterns set forth by someone else, always seem to carry us along to and end. Though we do not determine the end, we rely on whoever brings it. I would like to think it is about a higher power, a divine force, but i'm probably making it more than it is as usual. |

| Modest Mouse – Dramamine Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
personally impersonal It amazes me how much our own experiences shape how we view others. I'm further convinced that there is no such thing as impartial stance. This song speaks of a problem and a solution but sometimes the solution brings about another problem people always read into things so literally, so ignorantly myself included we kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves we are so initmately connected and yet we still cannot accept one another we backs are turned we are so certain yet confused we drain life out of one another yet we still don't take or get what we need from one another |

| Marilyn Manson – Mechanical Animals Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
wives are used to balance the dominant position In response to a scale that is always tipped, one must renew their influence. They must never stop exploding. Thereby continually evolving to exsist harmoniously. One influence is not the end of the way the scale is tipped. One who plays their cards to the greatest extent applicable gives more influence than those who play without cause. |

| Marilyn Manson – The Dope Show Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
To swim you have to swallow One cannot survive in society without it influencing who they are and having it become a part of them. Those who come out on top in society find over and over the worthlessness of their ability to manipulate one another. Those who use are used. |

| Marilyn Manson – Angel With The Scabbed Wings Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
demons dancing in the dark In darkness the need for our eyes is removed and we find perception through other means. Demons live through us and by us. We cannot fathom their perception and therefore cannot manipulate said demons. We can only take from them by living our lives as a mockery to they're lack of life. So because of their jealousy toward humans they wish to distroy whatever they are allowed, be it new life (wombs) or crops, etc... We try to defend ourselves against what we believe is harmful, but in the end humanity must be balanced out. Therefore suffering allows us to be balanced in a way that benefits us. We need them but we don't want to see them or our need for them. |
