The Fray – Vienna Lyrics 18 years ago
to me this song seems to be about a girl and guy who had some kind of falling out, and they still love each other, but for whatever reason hes leaving. she wants to work it out, but he doesnt, and hes telling her theres really no way to reach him now, hes GONE and theres nothing she can do. theyve done all the talking that can be done, there isnt anything left, and he needs space. he says maybe someday in five or ten years he'll be ready to work it out with her, but right now he just needs to leave, clear his head, because honesty is too hard. hes running away he cant handle it right now. hes gone, its over, theres no way to reach him now it just too late to make the relationship work. sad song :(

The Fray – How To Save A Life Lyrics 18 years ago
while i know this song is about the lead singer helping a drug addicted teen, when i first heard it i thought it was about his relationship with a girl, from her point of veiw. she was saying she needed to talk to the guy, about some issues they had. and he didnt like talking, and she wonders what the big deal is, its just a talk. and the guy, hes to scared to talk about anything, and he cant handle talking through things, hes really uncomfortable. but there are things that NEED to be sorted out, and she knows it and she needs to talk with him. but he wont listen, and he only gets upset, nervous and mad when she tries to talk, so she begins to wonder why she bothered at all with him. then they fight, or break up, and shes really upset, because she lost a really good freind somewhere in all the talking and yelling. and if she could have she would have done anything (stayed up all night) to fix things for him or between them. the rest of the song could continue to describe thier fight, her giving him a choice to stay or leave. its like someone giving advice to a girl on how to confront him about the things bothering her about the relationship. that she knows best, and he needs to listen, and she should lay down what she thinks is wrong, and really hope it will sink in. but then he beings to raise his voice, and hes not understanding, hes getting mad, just like she knew he would. and she finally offers up a choice, to cut off contact and leave, or break with what hes followed and listen to her, come back to her. and he chooses to leave. he says he just isnt the same, instead of admitting to being wrong, and treating her badly at times. so its over, and she wonders why she wasted her time. still shes upset because she and he were really good freinds, and she lost him. and she would have done anything to fix it, if only shed known how. yeah story of my life!! great song.

The Fray – Oceans Away Lyrics 18 years ago
this song is simply about a breakup, of maybe younger people. hes saying he really thought it would work and last FOREVER, but it isnt going to. it also shows that young people should get rid of thier ideals about true love, and that their one teen love will last forever. the whole thing with the castle crumbling to the ground. and then when it says
"Here's to the man of your dreams.

I take it all in a box and make my way down to the shore,
Throw it in and begin to leave it to the waves."
it says to let go of your ideal man, because life just isnt perfect like that.
great song!!

The Fray – Heaven Forbid Lyrics 18 years ago
i think this song is about someone who had a relationship with another person, and that person really had some issues with everyone they had a relationship with, and really cant make relationships work. the person who broke it off with them is kind of saying, "twenty years from now youll STILL be alone, and maybe you'll finally understand why." its kind of mocking that they wont understand why and they will still, heaven forbid, be alone. they just let everyone good go, and dont think twice about why all thier relationships fail. and no one can help them anymore. just what i think haha
