| Matchbox Twenty – 3 A.M. Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
The first paragraph..."she says it's cold outside and she hands me a raincoat... she's always worried about things like that"... he's talking about his mom taking care of him. "She says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault" - as in he wants to assume some sort of responsibility for her death... She only sleeps when it's raining and she screams her voice is straining - she cries herself to sleep.... "It's 3 am - I must be lonely" - 3 am is the witching hour or when spirits come out to haunt... "She says baby, it's 3 am I must be lonely" - this could signify the angel of death... "I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes" He is scared of his mother passing and leaving him... "The rain is gonna wash away what I believe in" His mother's tears show him that she has given up hope... so his mother could have had some sort of strong faith and when she cried, he felt as if she had lost faith, which caused him to as well... "She's got a little bit of something - god it's better than nothing - and in her color portrait world she believes that she's got it all" - when people are close do death - they hallucinate "color portrait world" so maybe she was hallucinating toward the end... Giving her something to hang onto... "god it's better than nothing" "She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to" — She’s ready to give up — she doesn’t see the world in the same way anymore… just doesn’t hold the same beauty as before…she is ready to leave this world… “Well she believes that life isn’t made up of all that you’re used to” — she has seen the other side — hanging between life and death you can see those things and she is ready to leave this world… “The clock on the wall has been stuck at 3 for days and days” - some people say that clocks stop when someone dies… 3 am, being the hour in which spirits come out… angel of death has come to take her. “She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway” - This, I think is the most haunting and beautiful line of the song! He is somewhat upset that she has given up — as in a “doormat” to death… He does not understand why she has given up and is no longer fighting… she is content to be a "doormat" to death in his eyes... But, outside, it’s stopped raining — her tears are no longer visible (outside) meaning she is not sad anymore and he can't see her pain... She has passed away... “Well, it’s 3 am I must be lonely---when she says baby… Well, I can’t help but be scared of it all sometimes” - Angel of death has came down to take his mother to heaven, but it shows that he is somewhat scared of death… |

| Radiohead – Gagging Order Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I think this song is about people and their battles with drug/alcohol abuse. How they need the drug/alcohol to keep them in a certain "place" ... (a little more for tea, just to take the edge off)... and no matter what anyone else says, they need this drug/alcohol to feel "normal"... | |
| Counting Crows – Mr. Jones Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think it's about craving to be famous "Jones-ing" for something (wanting something).. Mr. Jones is the desire for what he wants... | |
| Patty Griffin – Mary Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think this song speaks about the strength of women. Mary being the mother of Jesus, it compares her strength to that of women, and how no matter what, our mothers, sisters, wives or best friends are always there... Oh Mary she moves behind me She leaves her fingerprints everywhere Everytime the snow drifts, every way the sand shifts Even when the night lifts, she's always there |

| Cat Power – The Greatest Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song reminds me of Jesus or Joan of Arc. Melt me down Into big black armor Leave no trace of grace Just in your honor Lower me down To culprit south Make 'em wash a space in town For the lead And the dregs of my bed I've been sleepin' Lower me down Pin me in Secure the grounds For the later parade So sad... But, I love the song. |

| The Script – The Man Who Can't Be Moved Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song is to me, God talking... the whole song is referencing someone who has fallen from grace and God is trying to get them back: "if you see this girl can you tell her where i am" and if you ever decide to come back, God will be there - to greet you with open arms - he's NOT MOVING: cos if one day you wake up and find that your missing me and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth i could be thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet and you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street so I'm not moving I'm not moving |

| Ani DiFranco – Untouchable Face Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song holds a lot of meaning for me. I was dating someone and we had a bad breakup. This is the song that was posted on her page after our breakup. The parts that stick out most: "Tell you the truth, I prefer the worst of you Too bad you had to have a better half She's not really my type But I think you two are forever And I hate to say it but you're perfect together" She never liked the "good" side of me. She always liked it when I was angry or we were fighting. She didn't prefer the "better half" of me. This song is good. I like the lyrics and the meaning. |

| Britney Spears – Everytime Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song is about what she did to Justin Timberlake. I look back and he released "Cry me a River" in 2002, and she released "Everytime" in 2003. She's basically saying she's sorry for everything she did.. "My weakness caused you pain, and this song is my sorry" This is one of my favorites by her... They were young..it didn't work. Poor thing..I am sure that song had some painful meaning for her.. |

| Kings of Leon – Sex on Fire Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I totally agree with TheKabellana. If you watch the video, the song takes on a whole new meaning. It deals with the seven deadly sins. Of course, the title is "your sex is on fire"... basically just saying that whatever you are lusting after becomes like a drug to you... You can see a chicken that is clearly alive in the video, and later you see one of them eating it... You see what looks like one of them going through drug withdrawals, you see anger in the video... All in all, I think it deals with the seven deadly sins and how we as humans allow those sins to control us...and how we lust after the sins... we are basically saying "I gotta have it...I can't be without it"... (sex is on fire) Soft lips are open, knuckles are pale... That could mean someone is about to have sex, or get mad and hit someone while they are screaming, or even that they are eating something... Just my thoughts on this AWESOME song!!! Love Kings of Leon and I'm going to see them in September!!! YAY!!!! |

To: Lyricist1047 - Michael Bivins was in the R&B group Bell Biv Devoe - They did a song called "Poison", it's about a guy who is crazy over this girl... but, the girl is "dangerous" as in could break his heart..the hook of the song says: That girl is poison Never trust a big butt and smile That girl is poison poison...so, that is what the reference is about. |
