| A Fine Frenzy – Blow Away Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"you're not me, you're a model of freedom all you need is your kicks when you need 'em." it's so simple, but so perfect she's saying that all we have to do to truly be free is to abandon things we have convinced ourselves we need. i think this idea is confirmed when you look at "with a heart full of mess and lore, we are doomed but we wanted more." i think she's saying we're slaves to the idea that nothing is ever good enough. so maybe it is a "mistake to blow away" but isn't never being satisfied just as much of a blunder? |

| Imogen Heap – Goodnight and Go Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
i don't think the song is about a stalker, i think that's a hyperbole. imogen's used a LOT of literary techniques in her other work allusions, similes, metaphors, haunting imagery, etc... i think the stalker-like actions are being used to prove a point. if you think about one sided relationships, where one person is clearly more committed than the other, you understand that it's not fair, and that it should probably end before things get worse. now think about the epitome of a one sided relationship... someone who's being stalked, most of the time they have no idea the "relationship" even exists. the point the song makes, i believe, is that everyone understands that stalking is an unhealthy behavior that has to be controlled or eliminated, but there are MILLIONS of people all over the world, in one sided relationships, with people who don't "give what they get". by using the hyperbole i feel like she's shining a light on the detrimental nature of such relationships, saying bluntly that if this is the case, no matter how well matched you are for each other, the best course of action is to just, "say goodnight and go". |

so we can't delete these comments, but i changed my mind, or i thought about it more clearly i guess, i think that the silence is actually murder. at least it might lead to one, slowly grind away the innocence, it's literal as this small child has to watch his mother get beaten, it slowly grinds away his innocence, the only way he knows how to live is to stay out of the way, but it kills him because of what the male figure is doing to his mother. and the fact that until this moment he has said nothing, and that she will most likely go on saying nothing, keeping her silence, will lead to her death. if she doesn't learn when to walk away, and soon; her silence might literally be her undoing. |

| Demi Lovato – Don't Forget Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
i think it's obvious what it's about, what i think i'm noticing though, is the 5 stages of grief... Denial: "you can't forget it" at the beginning it's like she's can't believe he doesn't care. Bargaining: "we were once so strong, our love it like a song." it's as though she's trying to explain why he can't leave her. Depression: "we had it all, we were just about to fall even more in love" everything they were is gone, who they were as "us" is dead. Anger: the song guitar comes in and suddenly she's telling him, "you can't forget it AT ALL" she won't allow it Acceptance: "and at last, all the picture have been burned, and all the past is just a lesson that we've learned" she understands, it's really over "you won't sing along..." now she's left, to forget him. maybe i'm forcing it, but i think it's beautiful how they're incorporated, it makes the song more effectual. great voice. excellent song. you can see why it's the title track. |

sorry my analysis is longer than the lyrics for the actual song. ha. |

| Adele – Daydreamer Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
i think it's fairly obvious (not to sound pretentious) that she's not describing a daydreamer, rather, she is the daydreamer, or we all are. this is a daydreamer's description of what the perfect man is, he's a jaw-dropper, he's got eyes that'll make you melt, he'll wait on your doorstep just to surprise you with a visit, he's there for you, even when he shouldn't be, and he'll be there, for LIFE. i think my theory is solidified in the line "there's no way i could describe him, what i've said is just what i'm hoping for" and as for the quote from adele about the bisexual boyfriend, i think it makes perfect sense that while she's in a relationship with so much doubt and uncertainty, that she would of course imagine one that would be free of all those things, someone she could count on to be there when she needed them, and someone who just loved her, and nobody else. |

this is amazing. and although i'm as much of a romantic as the next guy since all evidence points to these songs being recorded originally for the movie i'm gonna have to go with the idea, that this song, and all the others on the soundtrack are about exactly what they seem like they're about. with this song, it seems like the best bet is to take the meaning at face value i will say though for someone who graduated high school and promptly moved 600 miles away from everything and everyone he'd known. this song means the world to me. |

your silence is murder basically the other person won't talk to him they're just there together and he can't bear it his innocence is gone his heart is broken and he has to walk away |

um jeffreys, i don't understand how when listening to the song you heard effigy first off it doesn't make sense why would she need someone's help fighting of the sculpture of a person?... that's retarded and second the video doesn't have any effigies in it; being that for a sculpture of a person to be an effigy, you'd have to destroy it in protest of the person it's modeled after, and people don't tend to take stand against themselves in their own music videos. so who's the real moron in this instance? use a dictionary next time maybe. |

| Metric – Grow Up and Blow Away Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
i love that blindfishbaby said what i was thinking, at least about wanting to help each other out and the dandelion. what i like is that neither of there problem are necessarily insurmountable when you really think about it for example, she could write with something else, in essence ridding herself from the pain, and he (being only "knee deep") could get himself out of the mud, but these only seem easy solutions for someone with an outside perspective. yet even though he's stuck and she's in pain, they still want to help each other, (her wanting to give him a shovel, and him wanting to get her a typewriter.) it's kind of beautiful in a melancholy way. but this seems appropriate when you realize they're both depressed (he wants to give her his pills) (i know this is going on forever but bear with me) my mind keeps going back to a dandelion whenever i look at the title and listen to the song, when you're little you are told that if you make a wish, and then can blow off all the little seeds in one breath, then that wish will come true. and this song is a reminder that although it's a wonderful thought, that's not how the world works, because even if you manage to clear them all in one shot, you'll still go back in writing in blood, and sinking in the mud. because there is no easy way out, you just have to move on. it's no use waiting for a weed to change your life so go ahead; grow up, and blow away. |

| Ingrid Michaelson – Far Away Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
i think this is about two separate people actually, the first woman is one half of the perfect marriage and one fifth of the ideal family but the routine is breaking her down she needs to escape, somewhere far away. still an island in the same blue bay though she knows she needs a change, but too drastic and it all falls apart the second, a single girl looking for love in all the wrong places when she realizes that the boy she loves "from afar" it's all he cracked up to be up close she knows she needs a change of scenery so she heads far away some place where the boys are what they seem and the waters are a beautiful blue |

i heard about ingrid i'd say about mid-may last yeat i was so excited to hear her on grey's i love ingrid and she so deserves to be heard speaking for hearing ingrid my thoughts on the song: i absolutely love the gut wrenching honesty that she coveys so easily it's almost like she can reach into your soul the most wonderful thing about this song, i think is when right before the last verse the song goes into complete chaos, then completely shuts down like the song is so heartbroken it can't bear to go on but then it realizes it has a purpose and it picks back up and finishes what it starts it's completely genius |

| Ingrid Michaelson – Highway Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
i actually thinks that it's about the whole empty nest syndrome, like in the first line it mentions 17 years most kids are 17 or 18 when they graduate high school and go off to college so she's letting him go driving him to his school somewhere along the east coast and then she relives the steps of his life from his birth to the current drive in the last stanza i picture her driving away from the college tearing up and thinking about how he's not her baby anymore |
