From First to Last – Two As One Lyrics 10 years ago
Almost gotta laugh at how sonny ended up being as big as he is, skrillex now. I'd still choose this over it though.

Pain of Salvation – Beyond The Pale Lyrics 12 years ago
and the song isn't about when he's 8, it STARTED when he was.
Which is far back in most people's memory, as long as he can remember he's always wanted that human contact.
But that seems too simple for this song, this song is a masterpiece, I can't hope to dissect it at all.

Pain of Salvation – Beyond The Pale Lyrics 12 years ago
I've gotten much different vibes off this song than just "he wanted sex when he was 8", this song is the climax of probably their most emotional album, and is tied into several times from the rest of the album, from the main theme which we hear in chain sling, to the lyrical content of fandango "We will always be so much more human than we wish to be"

I've never been able to figure it out completely, if at all.
I've always felt it more desiring the warmth of another human to quell loneliness and distance. He's trying to fill the void with it, but it won't do it, there's no love, it's just desperate attempts to feel human contact.

Pain of Salvation – Used Lyrics 12 years ago
This song is definitely from the male character's perspective.
In The Flesh is from the female's, though lyrically they feel related enough to think they're of the same person.

Dream Theater – Surrounded Lyrics 12 years ago
I've always felt this was about a relationship.
Kevin Moore, the lyricist, definitely had things going on, listen to album prior, with Light Fuse and Get Away, and then the next, with Space Dye Vest.

All the lyrics in my head point to it, denying that she's gone.
And then at the end, coming to terms.

This little bit hits hardest to the meaning.

"It's been a long, long time
He's had awhile to think it over
In the end he only sees the change
Light to dark
Dark to light
Light to dark
Dark to light"

Dream Theater – Beneath The Surface Lyrics 12 years ago
The moment that second chorus came in I bawled to hell. Not ashamed one bit.

It would fit well, but this is from 1997. >_>

Dream Theater – Just Let Me Breathe Lyrics 13 years ago
This song sounds similar to a TON of THEIR OWN songs...
Like I hear The Root of All Evil (written years later), Take the Time, and others in here...

No. It's metaphorical.

Dream Theater – Wither Lyrics 13 years ago
I get what you're coming from, but especially if you listen to the instrumental version of this you hear a lot more.

It was an emotional song that came from pretty deep :3 it wasn't just written to be a radio single.

Watch the music video too.

Dream Theater – The Ministry of Lost Souls Lyrics 14 years ago
I know this isn't the real meaning, but when I hear this song, I think of two lovers, where the lady is dying, and he pleads for her to end somewhere safe, not lost.

I think the real meaning... Well, then again... That's tough :| it's just plain beautiful, I can't focus enough on the meaning most of the time, I'm too entranced by its beauty.

Skid Row – Wasted Time Lyrics 15 years ago
I know it's not about love, but I always think of a broken relationship when I hear this... The ending kind of feels like the voice in your head type of thing. "I never thought you'd let it get this far boy".

I wish Skid Row wrote more ballads... Quicksand Jesus, this, and In A Darkened Room are probably my favorites, Bach's vocals make any song amazing.

Deep Purple – Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming Lyrics 15 years ago
I am sick of people describing song meanings as about life on tour, drugs, or simple stuff like that. That's an insult to the band practically, to belittle their deepest songs with false meanings.

Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová – Falling Slowly Lyrics 15 years ago
I don't cry.

But the first time I heard this song I nearly choked on my tears.

Skid Row – In The Darkened Room Lyrics 15 years ago
Yes, this song is about child abuse...
And to Bahnsenite, you annoy me, not everything is about god. And you act like Adam and Eve are your aunt and uncle.

Iron Maiden – Only The Good Die Young Lyrics 15 years ago
To show the repeating of the cycle I believe.
That or to show that it's all the same story, the whole album, that is.
Like wrap it together, beyond the first song.

Mayday Parade – I'd Hate to Be You When People Find Out What This Song Is About Lyrics 15 years ago
About the 'ring'-
It's a pinch harmonic, not just a vibrato, not just a harmonic.
End of it, it's common in lots of music, it shouldn't be worth discussion even.

No... It's not about cheating, it's about child abuse. :/
