| Hot Chelle Rae – Bleed Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think this song is about somebody who's coming to the realization that they passed up the opportunity to tell somebody how much they loved them and now it's too late. In the song it's almost as if he's writing the person a letter because it's too late to verbally tell them his feelings. The lyrics "I'm frozen with this fear that you may disappear before I've given you the truth", to me, say that he understands his chances to tell somebody how he felt are gone, but he's giving it one more shot by writing her a letter before she's long gone. Additionally, the lyrics: "And it's all here in Black and white and red For all the times Those words were never said" Sound like he's putting so much thought and emotion into the paper that he's writing out everything he has always wanted to say, and was too afraid to say. The "black and white" represent his writing on the paper, and "red" could be a metaphor for signing the paper in his blood to show how he truly feels for the person. In short, I think this song is just about taking a chance at letting someone know how much you care about them when all hope seems lost; even if you can't physically see them, all chances of making something between the two people aren't lost.. give it a shot, because you never know. |

| Matt Belsante – Haven't Got Much Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I feel this song is about having the feeling of, "Damn, I have everything I could ever want and need in life, but without you none of it matters." Most of us have been there; we've had such strong feelings for someone and wanted them in our lives. In addition to this desire, we have more things than most people could ask for.. a boat, a loving family, beautiful memories. However, we feel that none of it is important and is meaningless without that person to share it with. | |

The lyrics on this site are wrong.. how can you not tell that the lyrics don't make sense before posting them? Anyway, I listened to the song and the correct lyrics are: is it dark where you are can you count the stars where you are do you feel like you are a thousand miles from home are you lost where you are can you find your way when you're so far do you fear where you are a thousand nights alone so here we are, set into motion we'll steal a car and crash in the ocean you and I, caught in a fading light on the longest night it's enough just to find love it's the only thing to be sure of so hard to let go of a thousand times or more I was close to a fault line Heaven knows you showed up in time was it real now I feel like I'm never coming down so here we are, set into motion steal a car, crash in the ocean you and I, caught in a fading light on the longest night I recall when we were together even now it seems like forever so alive, caught in a fading light on the longest night can we go too far to find what is waiting here a little fall from grace on the longest night can we go too far to find what is waiting here it'll take a little time to open up again is it dark where you are can you count the stars where you are |

| Rascal Flatts – What Hurts The Most Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
To me, this song is about having strong feelings for someone but not expressing them until it's too late. We've all felt extremely strong feelings for someone before and not said anything, only to later realize that NOT saying anything was perhaps the worst decision we've ever made. The lyrics, "What hurts the most was bein' so close, and havin' so much to say, and watchin' you walk away. And never knowin' what could've been, and not seein' that lovin' you is what I was tryin' to do" really is the heart of this song. Someone had somebody in their grasp, wanted to say how much they loved them but just waited too long. That other person then either decided to move on or left in another way (death, etc.) and it became too late for any feelings to be expressed. |

| Bruce Springsteen – My Hometown Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song is amazing. Bruce is reflecting on his childhood growing up in Freehold, NJ and is stating how Freehold changed so drastically from the time he was a small child through the time he was growing up. He has childhood memories of running down the sidewalk with a dime in his hand to get a paper for his father, something that clearly indicates a place where he felt safe. However, through the years, crime found its way to parts of Freehold and slowly the town became barren in certain areas. Windows were boarded up, painted over, and stores were forced out. He was witnessing this and is missing the times he spent with his father, reminiscing on the past and wishing Freehold was how it was back when he was a child. One of the most amazing lines in the song is the last one: "I'm thirty-five, we got a boy of our own now. Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said, 'son take a good look around. This is your hometown.'" ..In this line Bruce is sharing memories with his own child that his father shared with him. It's reflecting on good times and sharing memories with his kid that means the most to him. Awesome song. |

| Jon Mclaughlin – Human Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I feel this song is about two people who love each other so much but have each made separate mistakes in the relationship that caused their love to break. He is wanting her back and is trying to say that everyone has problems, not just them, and that "after all, we're only human". Everyone makes mistakes that hurt other people, and I feel this song is a representation of that and how it has affected his relationship with someone he loves. When both lovers make mistakes and cause a relationship to break, the trust is always hard to gain back for each individual. "I'm smart enough to know that life goes by, and it leaves a trail of broken bones behind. If you feel I'm letting go just give me time, I'll come running to your side." In this verse, in my interpretation, he's saying that the road of life is littered with moments of pain, moments of hurt and moments of sadness. 'Broken bones' are difficult times everyone experiences. But, he's stating he is still there and still loves her, and that if she wants to get back together they can work things out and he will go running to her side. |

| Bruce Springsteen – Secret Garden Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I feel this song is about a man who loves a woman so much but is realizing she doesn't feel the same way about him. We've all felt it- there's someone we care for so much, desire and would do anything for, but the other person does not feel the same way about you. They may want to be friends, but nothing more. The verse: "She'll lead you down a path There'll be tenderness in the air She'll let you come just far enough So you know she's really there She'll look at you and smile And her eyes will say She's got a secret garden Where everything you want Where everything you need Will always stay A million miles away" ..is basically saying that the girl for whom he has so much desire will lead him down a path of friendship, lead him on as if she's interested, but when things start to become more than just friendly she'll put up her guard and not let things advance. She's just not interested in a loving relationship like he is, and he'll never get to the 'secret garden' she hides. Another amazing song.. |

| Bruce Springsteen – Thunder Road Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
While this song can have multiple meanings, I think it's true intended meaning was to be a song about growing up. It all makes sense if you listen to and try to understand the lyrics and symbolism in the song. It's maybe not directly about "growing up", but more so an invitation to someone to step out of their shell and try living an adult life with trust rather than the one they've lived locked away and distant from society for so long. // Break-down is simply my interpretation; my use of 'Bruce' is simply a man's name for referencing lyrical interpretation "The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways Like a vision she dances across the porch As the radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the lonely Hey that's me and I want you only Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again" // This verse is referring to any girl-- Mary, for example-- leaving a place where she's been locked away for so long and dancing her way to freedom and a new beginning. She's care-free and ready to start her new life. "Don't run back inside, darling, you know just what I'm here for So you're scared and you're thinking That maybe we ain't that young anymore Show a little faith, there's magic in the night You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright Oh and that's alright with me" // Bruce is referring to 'running back inside' as Mary going back to the life she's retreated to for so long. Mary's been close to escaping for so long, and he's telling her now to not run back inside because it'll just be more of the same. 'So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young anymore' is referring to Mary being afraid to finally break free, but realizing that she's not going to be a kid forever and must take the step towards adulthood on our own. "You can hide `neath your covers and study your pain Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain Waste your summer praying in vain For a saviour to rise from these streets" // This is referring to Mary always 'hiding beneath her covers' and wishing she could be free. She's spent so much time reminiscing on past lovers and has spent so many summers in regret wasting time waiting for someone to save her. However, all the while it's HER that needs to make change and grow up-- not someone else. "Well now I'm no hero, that's understood All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood With a chance to make it good somehow Hey what else can we do now?" // Bruce is stating that he's not a hero, but has come to offer Mary 'one last chance' to step outside and experience life. He's not coming to save her life; just to give her a chance to be free. While he's not a god, the redemption he can offer is his car as an escape-- which could be symbolism referring to any means of just escaping. "...Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair Well the night's busting open These two lanes will take us anywhere We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels Climb in back - Heaven's waiting on down the tracks" // Bruce is offering Mary a chance to live a free life and is claiming that the roads of life can take you anywhere. You never know where you're going to end up, and if you go ahead and take the chance to 'make it real', giving up your past life (i.e. wings) for a new life (i.e. wheels), you never know what could happen. Heaven-- referring to a new and better life-- is always waiting for you. "Oh-oh come take my hand Riding out tonight to case the promised land Oh-oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road Lying out there like a killer in the sun Hey I know it's late, but we can make it if we run Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold, Thunder Road" // Bruce is offering his hand as assistance to Mary in finding her new adult life. He's helping her move on to find a new and better beginning. In his car they are 'riding out to case the promised land'-- or the better life they both know exists. It's a bumpy and rough road (i.e. Thunder Road) but they can make it if they try. "Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk From your front porch to my front seat The door's open but the ride it ain't free And I know you're lonely and there's words that I ain't spoken But tonight we'll be free, all the promises'll be broken" // Bruce is telling Mary that he's got his guitar and his car (which, to him, is all that's needed to start a new life), and a new life is just a walk away. Although it's a long walk, growing up is a long journey for everyone. If Mary can make the long walk from her front porch (which could he her parent's house where she's been kept for so long), a better life can happen. Bruce is also stating that while the door's open, the ride "ain't free". She has to grow up and give something back to Bruce for taking her on this journey, whether it be making love or something else. "There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away They haunt this dusty beach road In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets They scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet And in the lonely cool before dawn you hear their engines roaring on But when you get to the porch they're gone On the wind, so Mary climb in It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win." // This is arguably the most meaningful verse of any song ever written. 'Ghosts in the eyes of all the boys Mary sent away' is referring to the non-existence of all of the past men who attempted to take advantage of her without having her true interests in mind. They didn't care about her growing up or getting a better life, they just wanted Mary. The "graduation gowns laying in rags at their feet" is another symbolic phrase referring to forgetting your past and starting fresh. Mary has always wanted someone to save her from her trapped life, and when she "hears the engines roaring on" of the men who have previously attempted to pick her up she's always been left in the dust-- which "..but when you get to the porch they're gone" refers to. Bruce is telling her that the town is full of losers who will abandon a woman like has happened to Mary so many times before, and he's here to save her for real this time and pull out of town 'to win'. Another strong symbolic message in the song is the use of the name 'Mary'. Mary can be any girl, and this song is truly one anybody can relate to. Rather than use "Jessica", "Amy", "Melissa", the use of 'Mary' reflects the vastness of the song and the number of people to whom it can relate. The song, in recap, is just a story of growing up. There comes a point in everyone's life where chances have to be taken. You're going to be scared, but if you just "make the long walk" and face your challenges head-on, you'll achieve a new and better life. Thunder Road, the greatest song ever written. Interpretation by Brian Wallenstein. |

| Daughtry – Home Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
In my mind this song is purely about Chris Daughtry's life as a small-town guy making it big and reflecting on the joy of just being able to go home and get away from the glitz and glamour. "Be careful what you wish for, 'Cause you just might get it all. You just might get it all, And then some you don't want. Be careful what you wish for, 'Cause you just might get it all. You just might get it all, yeah." This sums up the song. Chris has always wanted to be a musician and play music for people who appreciate his work. With the success he gained from American Idol he achieved this, but along with the success and fame came "some he didn't want". It's hard to find a balance between playing music for the people who appreciate it and those who take your fame to the extreme and don't let you live your life. Growing up in a small town in New Hampshire for twelve years I can definitely relate to this. I'm now living in New Jersey where the lifestyle is so much different. I literally went from living in a mountain valley town to being in a beach-side community where life is active around the clock. Whenever I get anywhere relatively CLOSE to New Hampshire I get a feeling of being refreshed and just "being home". It's something only people who have gone through a similar situation can explain and understand. Great song. There's an awesome acoustic version here (no, it's not mine-- just found it): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_-9q9xcsJ4 |

| Ferras – Hollywood Is Not America Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song is simply about the fact that so many people move to Hollywood with the hopes of being rich and famous, but in the process lose their true selves and become something they aren't. It's about being yourself and not wasting your true life away for the opportunity to live a rich and prosperous existence. "So long, put your blue jeans back on girl..." best line in the song. The same people who move to Hollywood to become famous think they have to wear $5,000 skirts and dresses when in reality that's not who they are. Just put back on your blue jeans, go home, and be yourself. Awesome song.. amazing at that. |
