| Skillet – Hero Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| @[swallowthehurt:39165] Man all these Christians getting butthurt over a song that can be taken any number of ways. I believe we're here one moment and then gone the next. That's it, that's all there is. But there are people out there who choose to live a life helping others (a medic, a firefighter, a soldier), and as one of those people I didn't choose it because of some calling. I do it because it's the right thing to do and I'm an adrenaline junkie. If you can't understand how a person can be good without subscribing to the same things you believe in, well what does that say about you as a person? Later Butthurts | |

after reading the comments i have come to the conclusion that while everyone can identify this as an anti-war song not even half of the people on here really understand what's happening in terms of politics both back then and probably right now, mostly because they're looking in all the wrong places. unfortunately in order to get the info you need you have to turn off the network and mainstream news and start watching independent news agencies that aren't on viacom and other media corporations' payrolls. news organizations who are in the business of journalism, not making a buck. oh yeah, and you'd have to spend more than fifteen minutes a day and not just glancing at it. so if yah take anything away from this song think of it as a reason to get POed and to start looking elsewhere for the facts. educating ourselves is one of the first few steps people need to take if this world will ever change for the better http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/21/fox-news-viewers-less-informed-people-fairleigh-dickinson_n_1106305.html |

| Pete Yorn – Lose You Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
makes me think of the phrase watching a train wreck in slow motion i wasnt ready for college when i graduated high school. some things happened and i wasn't in a healthy state of mind when i left home for school, hundreds of miles away from my family and friends. suicidal thought and depression were not as unusual as i would have preferred. and when you have so many expectations on you its like all you can do is hold on. after four long years i knew that all i was doing was just digging my hole deeper and deeper. it was scary when i told my family and friends back home that i wouldn't be graduating, and yes there were some sighs and looks of disappointment, but at that point i couldn't care less. it might be selfish but for the first time in years i was free. i lost friends from it but now i realize that those people were never friends to begin with if your friendship hinged entirely on expectancies instead of anything meaningful. i feel so much better now and its like instead of failure or defeat i've simply closed an ugly chapter in my life. i like where i'm at now. i have my family and friends and an okay 40hr a week job but that doesn't matter. i'm happy and i feel better. when i wake up there isn't this pressure on my shoulders and this hollowing feeling in my gut. i wake up and i'm smiling. when i'm ready i will go back because an education is important. until then i'll settle for less =} good song |

| Switchfoot – Dare You To Move Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
well as a "non-believer" i heartily disagree that the only message of this song is about a person going up to the altar and accepting Christ. and before anyone starts jumping down my throat that i dont "know" about Christianity i've read the old and new testaments, i've taken world relligions, i was baptised, confirmed, an altar boy, lector, eucharistic minister, church sacristan and even slated for priesthood at one point. so when i say i know what you guys are talking about i mean it, i just dont agree with it i think this song has two meanings (three is you interpret it as a message to "non-believers" about the Christian faith). one thing that is certain is the "i dare you to move" chorus is the definite meaning as its chanted constantly throughout the song so, number one: yes it could be interpreted as someone finally deciding to accept Christ but other than the band's background i see no evidence anywhere else in the song that validates that chorus as a symbolism for conversion. the only one that "might" point in that direction is "salvation is here" but that phrase has been thrown around so many times its hardly a trademark of any one single belief. number two: instead the rest of the song, from my PoV, emphasizes more on "hi, welcome to real life. shit happens and it always will so get over it because the only person who can save you from a wasted life is you. and im telling you this as a friend because i want to see you be happy - and so should you. but dont get me wrong, im not going to sit here and blow sunshine up your ass. yes its scary but it wouldnt be worth it if there wasnt a chance of failing once or twice, so... I dare you to move." numero three: the other interpretation that i find accurate is the one - one of the first commenters made about it relating to a relationship where one person is still very much feeling the effect of a hard breakup while the other is acting like it never happened. the main lines that point to this are the "everyone's watching you" as well as the "fallout", "resistance", and "how it should be". now the thing is how does that i dare you to move part and this interpretation calls for the narrator calling their ex's bluff that their relationship really means nothing to them. speaking from personal experience, its been six years and she's still the love of my life and i dont think i'll ever stop loving her - i just have to hope someday another someone special will come along and turn my world upside down. so there yah go, two completely different interpretations that are either just as good as the relating to christanity or maybe even better. and again, this may be coming from a "non-believer" but until switchfoot actually makes a statement about what it means one interpretation is as valid as any other |

| Simple Plan – Untitled Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
When I first saw the comments I was nodding and could see why they'd think that but as I went over the lyrics some things didn't make sense, specifically: "I'm sick of this life" and "I want to start this over again." The rest can be interpreted in all sorts of ways but those two are hard to misinterpret. I went through a rough time and I wish I had this song was there to listen to. Still great song and it comes across very personal to everyone listening. No one had ever reached a point where they wish they could start it all over again. |

| David Gray – Please Forgive Me Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| yeah i've had my share of old flames and there's one in particular, it's been over five years now since our breakup, and it's like... i know this is how i'd feel if i saw her again. but we had our problems also and you can't base a relationship off of just feelings. although if i ever meet another girl who can make me feel the way she did? i'll do my damndest to try and make something work - heh - guess that qualifies me as a bit of a romantic | |

| Rhett Miller – Come Around Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Also saw it on Scrubs, My T.C.W., one of my favorite eps of all times. I've never heard of a song that puts heartbreak into a better perspective: You came onto me And opened up my heart I was hollow then Till you filled me in Now I'm empty again I should have never let it start In my case, and many of yours if I'm reading this right, it was like I put everything I had into that relationship (time, money, everything) and at the time that made me feel full but when she left all that was gone and I felt hollow and lost. Because I invested all my time with her I had lost almost all track with my friends during it and after she left me with nothing else save for my family and my dog. So far they're the only things that have kept me grounded. I'd like to think that things have changed since then but here I sit, four long years later, asking myself will I ever be able to get over her you know? Or will I simply be lonely for the rest of my life? |

| Anberlin – Burn Out Brighter (Northern Lights) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I can see how it identifies with Christ's life but I won't go so far as to say that it's all about him. If we all lived Jesus's life the human race would die off in a single generation - just kidding ;-) But Jesus lived a life a sacrifice, he was a beggar for lack of better term - the lowest of the low - and thus could associate with everyone on earth at the time, which is also why he was able to so successfully deliver his message back then as well as to today's times. Basically what this song is saying is to get up off your butt and start living a life worth living so that when you are on your deathbed you will have no regrets. Did Jesus live a life like that? In my opinion yes but that really is one's own perspective. Also this set of lyrics here seem to talk to something more specific: Lose no time; cannot survive. I made mistakes in the past. Need a chance; can't take it back. Wish I could set things right tonight. I think that whatever that mistake he he made is the reason he's singing this song and deciding that he needs to change his life around. |

| Linkin Park – New Divide Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| first off great song, great movie, and yes i agree that at least the tempo of the song was created with transformers 2 in mind and i agree that it does have a type of familiarity with what i've done. personally my favorite part is the guitar acoustic - chester's vocals makes it only the more sweeter. my interpretation of the song is kind of simple but it works for me. i think it's about coming up against a new challenge and (like gogators put it earlier) it can be about two people. but also, as in the movie for example, it can be about a singular challenge that the one person must overcome. i like both of those interpretations and isntead of only one meaning from this song i'm taking two =D | |
| The Goo Goo Dolls – Before It's Too Late Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| transformers isn't famed for the sam and mikaela theme but still their story is beautiful, if not a little cheesey and cliche. critics say the movie, and the seuqel in theatres now, is every teenage boys wet dream - how very true. i don't know any guy who wouldn't want to go through what sam did in the story, and no i'm not just referring to megan fox. this song basically embraces the philosophy (for lack of better term) of youth and youth's appreciation of life. and i believe that it's never okay to stop embracing your life nor ever too late to begin embracing it again. you're here, on earth, reading this right now, living, breathing, might as well try to enjoy it as much as possible. a life not lived is still lost - how very true | |
| Linkin Park – Hands Held High Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Amen Mike, and the other LP members, glad someone said it. The problem was never Bush, he was a puppet. I mean this guy got his MBA from Harvard because he had armies of tutors and a rich daddy to pay off the professors. That's it. The people pulling his, and every other politician's, strings are the problem. Where do politicians get most of their funding from in order to run for election - corporations. Big ones. If you don't do what's in their best interests while in office you won't get their support for the next election which will cost it for you. "Their interest" not the people's. Sorry international community but the people in our country don't pay attention to politics and what bills are being passed when and who's voting on them and why unless it's some hot topic one: gay marriage, gun restrictions, military funding (which honestly always equals the amount = $?), abortion, and you get the idea. The only real time people pay attention to politicians is during their election years and even then with all the rumors and misinformation you can't tell what's real and what's an outright lie. In our country democracy is only still working because we haven't found anything better that works and the fact that we're going to be leaving 30 thousand plus troops in Iraq (on a permanent basis) after Obama pulls the others out is just another example of how one administration is brushing away the faults of the former while still carrying on the original agenda. Here's a question. First it was the nazis, then the communists, and now the terrorists. Who will be the next reason why my country needs to have a military budget bigger than the next 14 countries combined (including Russia and China)? Because in thirty more years my country will have been in a pseudo state of war for a century and as far as I know presidential terms don't last that long. Good song. |

| Bryan Adams – (Everything I Do) I Do It for You Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
There's a famous pearl of wisdom that reads "no one is worth killing yourself for" to which I couldn't agree more and I think a lot of people misinterpret that this song means that the person is willing to sacrifice his life for her love, which isn't true. Not only would he die, he would lie, walk a wire, fight for her, and simply do anything for this person. She is his moral compass, what he values most in his life, and will do anything to keep that person safe and happy. If he were to kill himself out of rejection that'd be the opposite. But if it was an either or situation where one of them would die he would accept his death willingly as long as she (I'm going to refer to this person as a woman) survives. I point to this mainly because out of all of his claims this is the most extreme and having found myself in love (as I'm sure many of you have also) you will do anything for that person. "You can't tell me it's not worth trying for," indicates that there's trouble in paradise and the she is is trying to rationalize it all out. Even though it's not mentioned in the lyrics you can hear Bryan talking during the ending accoustics about how he will "see it through", "I'll be here", "going all the way", and a few other sentiments. I believe that a person can fall in love more than once in their life - you know when you love something when the thought of losing them leaves a hole inside of you. But commitment, staying in for the long haul despite who the other person might be with or put preference before you, is something that many people can't accept. I loved someone and when they left me for another my pride got in the way and I tried to tell myself that we can't be friends with each other because it hurts too much. But that isn't true. And now years later I miss her company but know that it's too late. There are many forms of love, love for a spouse, love for a parent, love for your child, love for a sibling, love for a relative, love for a friend, and many others. But what makes love real is your willingness to stick it in for the long haul no matter what the outcome. And that's what I think this song is trying to show. |

| Chris Daughtry – Home Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
this song reminds me of how alone i felt the first time i went away to school, which incidentally when when this song first aired. i had gone through a rather intense traumatic experience and was suffering from a case of social anxiety (right when i was away from home for the very first time). i knew people, had casual relationships, but no one ever close. for two years it was like that. it was so bad i needed counseling (one hour a week) and for that entire week i would crave for that hour to just talk with someone - it was like a crutch. i think the worse time was when i ate lunch at the dining halls. to see everyone else laughing and smiling while i was stuck watching the snow outside the window and eating what had to be the tenth tuna melt in the last seven days. weird how its the little things that stick out the most? i think its because there's no way you can control the big ones that when you're unable to control the little ones it pushes you to the brink. anyway this song, just over 4 minutes, sums up what it was like and what i felt like. this came out when i first went away to school, for 2 years i listened to it almost everyday. |

| Butthole Surfers – Dracula From Houston Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think it's about selling out and how he doesn't care what people will think of him. The line about the monkey coming in and telling him to paint his bike blue (instead of red) kind of illustrates that. Then you have the "I'm never coming back" line to help reinforce that he's done traveling around on ratty busses and that he wants the high life. IMO it's his decision and if that's what he wants in life then good for him. Cherish life and remember the good times because in the end: "We're not gonna live forever." | |
| Michael Tolcher – Sooner Or Later Lyrics | 15 years ago |

This song lifts me up when I'm feeling down. I like to think most times in life you're able to avoid most mistakes but every once in a while you make one that makes you feel like a complete idiot and its even worse when its in public and people call you out over it. So whenever I'm feeling down this song lifts me up and reminds me that tomorrows another day and not to get upset over past mistakes. Learn from them. And move on with a smile on your face. |

with a lot of songs i comment on i still think its about venting. instead of actually "open the glove box, reach inside, gonna wreck this fuckers ride" this song lets (read: normal) people fantasize instead of pulling out a piece and starting mayhem. "stupid dumbshit goddamn motherfucker" oddly enough that feels very therapuetic to me |

well i think most of us share the same favorite line ;-) i see where a lot of you are coming from with the politics and normally id be the first to jump on that bandwagon but when i hear that line i cant help but feel a rush of vengeance of being able to hit back at whoever wronged me. i guess you could impose that if this is some sort of hitman or government assassin the lines: "So dance, fucker, dance I never had a chance It was really only you" means that the hitman (the tool) is finally getting back at his boss (his handler) for all the crap hes gone through. im no hitman or secret agent so what it means to me is that some bully hurt my friend and so now im going to beat the shit out of him =D |

| Dashboard Confessional – Reason To Believe Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| It's titled Reason to Believe... A body needs a reason to cross that line will you carry there one more time? What it means to me though is to never give up, even when your bucking a stacked deck. No matter how tough a sitch maybe there's always some reason to keep going, you just have to find it. | |
| Dierks Bentley – Settle For A Slowdown Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| as im sure a lot it reminds people of their exes it reminds me of one very specific breakup. i have epilepsy, a minor type of it, but still i cant drive. so when my girlfriend whom i was still very much in love with came to breakup with me it sucked so much to watch her drive off and know i couldnt drive after her, try and persuade her to give us one more chance = "i must look like a fool here in the middle of the road" but as dierks shows in the music video, keep living and the next time you two meet show them what they overlooked - go bentley | |
| Burn Season – Closer Lyrics | 17 years ago |

going through something like that now and yea, i also cant believe not more people have commented on this song the music alone is beautiful and the lyrics just add so much depth and meaning to it - its a real breathtaker i met a girl in this swim club - ok so she was the president but whateverp - but unlike my past flames (save for maybe one) and definitely unlike any other club leader I had she got under my skin i gave her so much attitude and she threw it right back at me and in the end it was me trying to do my best both inside and outside the pool (never go that involved with something like that before) problem is im transfering out and she still has another two years here and even though she knows about my feelings for her she has a bf but "it's complicated" so, i guess all i can do is drive the two hours down to my soon to be old-school to visit her and the team every now and then, yea, im gonna miss her and the team that much long comment but thats what it means to me |

well, blast it enough times in the dining halls and i guess anything becomes catchy. but every once in a while when you do look something up on the net (get the lyrics and see the vid) you really do find something you can identify with what this song means to me is all about change and that no matter where you are, what your doing, its never too late to change who you are and what you want in life this song rules |
|
| Burn Season – Closer Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
cant believe no one has commented on this song before - the acoustics by themselves are noteworthy and the rest of the song? Awesome The meaning itself is pretty evident in that its another guy loves girl song and girl is breaking guys heart by leaving him blah blah blah and he just can't let her go, he can't move on, and so he's giving up in a sense and claiming that he will do anything as long as he can still be in her life: be that friends or whatever else (even if it makes it impossible for him to ever move on) |

"I think I thought I saw you try" Love it To me I like to think that the person he's singing to a loved one who is very depressed and broken and this song is about just how much it's killing him to his loved one like this I'm probably wrong - havent put too much thought into this one because honestly (even if it is wrong) I prefer to be blissfully ignorant of this song's real meaning: I like the song that much |

Compared to some of the stories on here mine pales but its still heartbreak. This reminds me of when my fiance left me and all I could ask her was to at least remember me She didn't get it - was like of course I will how could you think that? So I think until you've been there yourself, gotten hurt real bad, does this song really begin to make sense |
|
| Linkin Park – Numb Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
though it may pale to what some of you have experienced this, as being a member in the field of emergency medicine, means just how hard it is to live up to other people's expectations when you arrive on scene to an emergency and a mother is crying over an infant that isn't breathing expecting you to save it even when you know there is no hope, even when you have to try your damndest to bring it back to life after years of this kind of pressure and, yes sometimes failure, you just become so callous and numb that you sometimes question your own humanity sure there is nothing more rewarding than saving a life but on the flip side - especially when someone like a parent looks to the nearest person to blame and that person is you you never forget the look on their face that goes for doctors, nurses, medics, firefighters, police, everyone in ems and medicine as well as our toops judging by the video its meant to be about teenage drama but like songmeanings.net says a song can mean different things to every person |

This song can mean so much, great acoustics as well. |

| U2 – With or Without You Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"Sleight of hand and twist of fate" - love it Each song means something, some a bit different, to each of us. To me its definitely about a woman that I'm still love, not in love, but certainly not... un-love? Whatever, point is when we broke up the feeling I feel now is still there and I know now that it will never leave. It would've been great if we could have been friends after but when you risk love, and risk it deep, chances are that special person may become untouchable to you afterwards. How can you watch the person you love with another? How could they watch you with some one else? With or without you, one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, yet it strikes a meaning so deep that I sometimes wish it was never written. How ironic. |

ok y84k one thing I never said this song was entirely about sex so dont twist my words. but sex does go hand in hand with many serious reltionships and is very very intimate. hate to say it when i broke up, ok actually i dont hate to say it, but i had some flings where i did plan the girl i was with was me ex - just going to bed with a warm body next to you - it does make you feel less alone but ultimately in the end it is you and that empty hotel room. lastly you may still think im wrong in my assessment but the slogan for this website is "what does this song means to YOU". so dont hate the player hate the game :-p HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!! |

| 10 Years – Wasteland Lyrics | 17 years ago |

firstly the song is from the kid's perspective, a very messed up kid: Change my attempt good intentions Crouched over You were not there Living in fear But signs were not really that scarce Obvious tears But I will not Hide you through this I want you to help And please see The bleeding heart perched on my shirt First verse he's saying that you know here I was crouched over, crying, a "bleeding heart perched on my shirt" and then sarcastically "the signs really weren't that scarce" but his dad or friend or whoever wasn't there to help him as he "Change my attempt good intentions" Die, withdraw Hide in cold sweat Quivering lips Ignore remorse Naming a kid, living wasteland This time you've tried All that you can turning you red "Die, withdraw, hide in cold sweat, quivering lips" all signs of a recovering heroine addict cept' in this verse his dad or whoever was there for him trying "All that you can turning you red" in the face out of frustration and anger that helping me, the kid, get off this junk and refocused Change my attempt good intentions Should I, could I Here we are with your obsession Should I, could I "Here we are with your obsession" there they are again trying with his father's (I'm assuming it's his dad) to try and straighten the kid out but it really is hard for the kid and he's asking himself if can do this, quit, or whether or not if he even should Crowned hopeless The article read living wasteland This time you've tried All that you can turning you red but I will not Hide you through this I want you to help Almost hopeless but still his dad hasn't given up, and neither has he though everyone else has - given up on him - his resolution in trying to quit is evident in that last line "I want you to help" Change my attempt good intentions Should I, could I Here we are with your obsession Should I, could I "More trying" Heave the silver hollow sliver Piercing through another victim Turn and tremble be judgmental Ignorant to all the symbols Blind the face with beauty paste Eventually you'll one day know Okay if that first line "Heave the silver hollow sliver" isn't talking about shooting up on narcotics then I have no idea what it is. A syringe is thin, like a sliver, hollow, and duh silver (or some other metal) "Turn and tremble be judgmental" more judging the kid Change my attempt good intentions Limbs tied, skin tight Self inflicted his perdition "Limbs tied, skin tight" when we hook up an IV in the back of the ambulance we take an elastic tourniquet and wrap it around the arm (limb) to staunch the blood flow long enough to get the needle in w/o too much bleeding - same thing when shooting up on heroine - makes less bleeding and the the skin tighter a lot more easier to see those veins and then of course the other give away "self-inflicted" the kid shooting himself up on that shit causing the dad to have "his perdition" Should I, could I Change my attempt good intentions Should I, could I Should I, could I Can he do this? Is he strong enough to break this habit and get his life back on track? Can his dad or whoever help him? I can relate, I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was a freshman in high school shooting most of my future dreams down the drain. But there was still hope, with the meds they put me on there was still a chance that I could beat this thing, but I know now that I never could have if it weren't for my Dad And now as an emt one of the calls I had last weekend was to a guy in cardiac arrest, saved his life, gave him a chance to say goodbye to his daughter and two grandkids over the weekend before passing on as soon as the next monday came Some people look at that kind of work (firefighting, police, soldiers, doctors, ambulance guys, lifeguards, ect.) as heroic but to me, my hero, is my dad w/o him chances were I would've given up a long time ago and ended up in some kind of "wasteland" |

| The All-American Rejects – Dirty Little Secret Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I wont go into specifics so simply put we were together for a long time and it really really really hurt me when she left. but now - as time goes on and the pain passes - i realize that despite all the gf's ive had since then and all the chicks u know i just slept with well... i realize that unless she found the guy she's going to marry and spend the rest of her life with im still, most likely, her flame and she is mine. and i think what a flame really means is that you love them so much it hurts when your together b/c u cant be together anymore for whatever logical reason. so you cant really be friends in the end but you dont ever really stop loving them and chances are theyll never stop loving with you, aint it a bitch? | |
| Nickelback – Savin' Me Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| well im not going to split hairs over this one - way i see it the song can just as easily be about suicide as it could be addiction and vice versa. but, key word here, why the hell would nickelback write a song about a guy who will kill himself unless a girl tells the guy she loves him? i mean that's a very unfair type of demand and anyone "in love" with another would never put the one they loved in a situation like that. i like the music itself and how the presented the song but if the lyrics really were about suicide then... ever heard of that one song by james blunt? your beautiful? those type of suicide songs piss me off royal - no guy or girl is worth killing yourself over not ever | |
| Adema – Freaking Out Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Umm hate to play the asshole in this convo but look at the lyrics you're all missing a major point to this song: "Draw me down, breaking down, I hit the ground"? His parents threw him into an instituation - he has a straightjacket on. The orderlies are "breaking him down, drawing him down". "I'm Trippin' out" also signifies that yea he was on drugs but also the doctors have him on meds at where he's at now. So basically everything you guys said was true except you forgot the last thing - i.e. mental institute. | |
| HIM – Wicked Game (Chris Isaak cover) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| A name is a name is a name pplzzz Satanists? There are far worse bands out there - not gonna start naming em' but there are - this band just questions things. Example: Join Me in Death, classic Romeo and Juliet that every1 loves (gag) but suicide is a "mortal sin". Bible isn't meant to be taken literally in a lot of cases it's metaphor. Else it'd make no sense whatsoever it'd contradict itself so many times over that you'd wanna kill yourself from reading it. I have this song, the original, and they both kick ass. And yea it's like this guy's been burned, he knows nine times out of ten he'll get burned again b4 he finds that "special someone" (gag), but at the same time he can't hlep it. Falling in love is like a car crash: comes out of nowhere and there's nothing you can do about it, | |
| HIM – Join Me In Death Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song very much resembles Romeo and Juliet with the drinking of poison in the end of the music video - Shakespeare uses poison not only in R+J but throughout many of his tragedies. And yea it's meaning is basic - kill yourself so we can be together forever. The message is romantic, dark, and very much seductive. Whether or not its satantic is, just like every single other religious controversy, is up to every individual's own interpretation and beliefs. To me it all comes down to what you got left to lose. I got roots here, I like my life, if my spouse were to die I wouldn't kill myself bur rather wait, live my life, and then see her again when I do die. But if on the other hand if I had lived my life and all that was left was pain and loneliness then yes, I would end it all. But if you're still young then there's no reason ever to off yourself. You still have so many years of untapped potential to live and make something of yourself. Time will makes things better, no matter what, in time you will heal. | |
| HIM – Vampire Heart Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
LOL, okay I'll just say it, but doesn't these lyrics - hell the name of the song - seem just a little reminscent of a certain 90s hit television series that had something to do with a girl who killed vampires and then a couple of vampires who fell in love with her? It's probably completely coincidential and even if it isn't it doesn't change nething it's still a kick ass song - my fav so far by HIM. As for the meaning I think it has something to do with the guy - obviously in love with a girl - but he shouldn't be. Kinda like classic Romeo and Juliet the one person you're not supposed to want and can't have. |

| Bush – Out of This World Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
It's about loving something you're not supposed to love which only makes you hate it, and yourself, the more. When we die we go into the arms of those that remember us We are home now out of our heads out of our minds Out of this world out of our time " basically heaven - when we die the place we go to is the place we love - no matter how wrong it may be "Are you drowning or waving I just want you to save me Should we try to get along Just try to get along " The song is getting more specific in that now it's definitely talking about a person the singer hates/loves. It's crazy, it's wrong, it's out of this world but they love that person and they hate both him/her and themself. The person pretty much feels the same way. So they're stuck at impass "drowning" and they need the other to save them but are they going to let you suffer/die "waving" or are they also "drowning" and the only way you can survive is to save each other - the person you hate "So we move we change by the speed of the choices that we make And the barriers are all self-made That's so retrograde " basically, despite outside influence, we make our own decisions. In this case yes it would be considered wrong to love this person but the only real barriers are "self-made." As for retrograde it means going the opossite, the wrong way, aka "it's so fucked up" "Are you drowning or waving I just need you to save me Should we try to get along Try to get along" same "I am alive I am awake to the trials and confusion we create There are times when I feel we're about to break When there's too much to say We are home now out of our heads out of our minds Out of this world out of this time " I hate you - I love you - I can't get enough of you is the theme of the song. "I'm awake to the trials and confusion..." means that yes they know wtf theyre doing and the trouble its causing - BECAUSE ITS WRONG, A BAD RELATIONSHIP - breaking and too much to say also contribute to that - theyres just too many things to try and fix. but again at the end it says "we are home now" in that this is real because it feels right. What can be more natural what can be more right? Ex: two cowboys spend time with each other and fall in love. It's wrong but it feels so right. How can sometihng that feels so right be wrong? That rush, that high, of knowing your in love with something so wrong only adds to the desire making it taboo practically. So then what is the bigger wrong? Denying your feelings, your real feelings, or letting it flow? Either case: "Out of this time out of this time" |

| The Killers – Somebody Told Me Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Ok... cant get this song outa my head! Neway I think that maybe this song is maybe taking a poke at how rediculous some rumors and gossip can be. Because he keeps saying "somebody told me" over and over again and that's all he has to go on that the rumor might be true. And then apart about not letting it "ruining his moonlight" is more like he's not gonna just let gossip make him unhappy. | |

| Eminem – Love You More Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| When love becomes something more than a want but a need it's about as real as it gets even if you hate the other. It's like no matter - no matter how angry you could get with the other - theyll be there for you. | |
