| Arcade Fire – Month of May Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
In my opinion the bit about kids standing with their arms folding tight is talking about the same anti hipster sentiments that are in rococo. The singer is trying to tell them about truth and beauty and things like that - 'I said some things are pure, and some things are right' but the kids refuse to relax their facade of 'coolness' and so miss out - 'But the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight' |

| Arcade Fire – City with No Children Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I thought selfish giant reference the moment I saw it. It would kinda fit with the general message of the song being that the singer mourns the loss of innocence, love and simple aesthetic enjoyment from his life and the world around him. | |
| Arcade Fire – Wasted Hours Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| It's about all those times when you're a kid and a teenager, (possibly living in the suburbs, or maybe just in a suburban stage of your life where nothing much happens) and you wish you were free and could live the life you dream of. And then the singer grows up and realises they were wasted hours because he's still a kid on a bus longing to be free, and he's been asking the wrong questions all along. | |
| Arcade Fire – My Body Is a Cage Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Dunno what anyone else thinks about this, but to me it feels like someone who is gay/bisexual and in love with someone of their own gender who is straight, and how they are imprisoned by their physical body which is the wrong sex and therefor they can't be with the one they love. | |
| Colin Hay – Beautiful World Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| No. This song has absolutly nothing to do with the stranger. | |
| Taylor Swift – Fifteen Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| The funny thing is, I turned fifteen recently, and unlike most posters, I can't relate at all to this song, and I've always looked down a lot on the kind of people who think like this. But I understand what she's talking about when she talks about bigger dream, I guess I've just already grown out of the naivety described in the song. I feel a lot older than my real age. | |
| Guns N' Roses – Knockin' on Heaven's Door Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I kind of feel like this song is about someone who feels like there's no way back for what they've done, and they can't make it better, so they're just trying to move on and maybe reach heaven some day. | |
| U2 – City of Blinding Lights Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I just watched, on youtube, this song being performed at the Obama concert. Like Bono, I'm not even American, but there was just so much passion, even though it was taking place hundreds of miles away from me. | |
| Pink – Runaway Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I'm too young to be Taken seriously But I'm too old to believe All this hypocrisy Wow. Don't you just love it when you've been thinking something for ages, and then you find it written down somehwere, in a song or a book, and it's perfect. |

| U2 – Peace On Earth Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I love this song. The best bit in my opinion is Sean and Julia, Garreth, Ann and Breda Their lives are bigger than any big idea . I think what it is trying to say is that the thoughts and memories and dreams and potential and everything of these people is a million times more important than some big idea, like religion, or power, or money. And the bit where he sings Hear it every Christmas time But hope and history won't rhyme So, what's it worth? It almost seems like he's questioning the very point of the song, because all these hopes he has for peace don't go with mankinds history of hate and anger. |

| U2 – Elevation Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| One of my earliest memories is driving back from the beach near the end of summer, and my mum putting this song on and me and my brother all singing along to the chorus and making digging motions with the mole digging in a hole, and all that sunlight all over the place. Magical. | |
| Muse – Time Is Running Out Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This may seem really random, but does anyone else find this song really relatable to the character of Alan Strang in Equus? The verses are about his relationship with his God, Equus, and then Bury it I won't let you bury it I won't let you smother it I won't let you murder it Our time is running out Our time is running out You can't push it underground You can't stop it screaming out is about his relationship with Martin Dysart and how he feels Dysart is trying to wquash the idea of Equus out of him and he doesn't have much time left. If you have read or watched Equus, this won't make any sense. It's a really good play though. |

| Boys Like Girls – Dance Hall Drug Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| i get the bit when it says 'this is the life that you wanted right?' so much. It's like if you think that if you go out and get wasted or whatever and party you will be cool, and then you get it and you just don't get that this is the life you wanted/ | |
| Pink – Sober Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I'm only fourteen and already I feel myself beginning to relate to this song. I got really drunk last night and I don't want to become that kind of girl, I don't know what to do. | |
| Avril Lavigne – Keep Holding On Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| My friend is in hospital, being operated on today, she is in real danger and she might really die. this song just shows how we're all there for her and she needs to hold on to her life because we all love her so much. | |
| Skye Sweetnam – Sharada Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I swear, I heard this song and I thought it had been written for me. I'm a dreamer, and I spend the whole time just staring into space and saying a lot of things about, you know, the way the clouds move that makes loads of sense to me but other people just look at me like "waaah?" I feel like no one understands the real me, but, that's ok because I'm fine just dreaming on my own. | |
| U2 – Walk On Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| this may seem like a very random question, but have you read the book shanteram?? because what you said about 'Pain is inevitable but suffering is not.' sounds very much like something discussed in the book, i think it may even be a direct quote. if you havnt, doesnt matter. i was just wondering. | |
| U2 – Walk On Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| hate to burst your bubble, but i think anyone from any religion, even atheism, can go to heaven if they are a good person. if there is a heaven. | |
| Led Zeppelin – Tangerine Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song always makes me smile. I know it's kind of a sad song if your hear the lyrics, but whenever I hear the chorus I think of warm orange colours and late summer sunlight. I think maybe it's about a happy ending | |
| Simon and Garfunkel – America Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think this song is just too lovers setting off over the horizon to look for America, which is maybe kind of a metaphor for the pilgrims just looking for a place where they could be themselves, only minus the religious stuff. And sometimes theyre all laughing, like when theyre playing games with the faces on the bus, and sometimes they're just calm, and a bit sad. It's perfect. Has anyone seen this song in Almost Famous? Best movie. | |
| Rihanna – Disturbia Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think it's just about madness, about that feeling you get when your panicing, and everything seems to be going crazy and it's like everythings freaking out. kinda like a tim burton film. | |
| Radiohead – Paranoid Android Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
The bit in this song that gets to me most is Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest From all the unborn chicken voices in my head What's that, what's that? When I am king you will be first against the wall With your opinion which is of no consequence at all What's that, what's that? I hum those lines in my head everytime the inane babble I hear at school starts to get to me, and it just makes me feel better, or at least I can imagine my classmates up against a wall. |

| U2 – Beautiful Day Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
this, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. it is impossible to stand still to, i don't mean as a dance song, you can't dance to it, but you have to be walking, or driving, just watching the scenery outdoors go by, to fully appreciate it. I have been listening to this song since i was a baby and have only recently come to appreciate its meaning. my favorite lines are You're on the road But you've got no destination which i saw someone said made the song really sad. i disagree, i love the feeling of travell, not just to get to your destination, but simply for the feeling of being on the road, and i think that is what it's about. i also love What you don't have you don't need it now Don't need it now Was a beautiful day. Because these lines just make me feel like theres no point me worrying about what i have or don't have, it's a beautiful day and all that really matters is feeling happy. |
