| The Antlers – Two Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
wow. i know this is about cancer, but this song relates to me so much. "But I didn't mind the things you threw, the phones I deflected I didn't mind you blaming me for your mistakes I just held you in the door-frame through all of the earthquakes" this definitely reminds me of living with a family member with bipolar disorder. "Daddy was an asshole, he fucked you up Built the gears in your head, now he greases them up And no one paid attention when you just stopped eating "Eighty-seven pounds!" and this all bears repeating" and this reminds me of eating disorders, personally. i know people have already said this, but still, this song really hits home. |

i know it's not about this, but a few of the songs on this album definitely relate to eating disorders from my viewpoint. especially, "they had you sleeping and eating/and i didn't believe them/when they called you/a hurricane thundercloud." this song is just so haunting and heartbreaking and beautiful. |

| Paul Baribeau – Never Get To Know Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This is so fucking relevant. The part about the dad, and the mom, and the sister. All of that is perfectly true for me, other than the fact that it's my brother rather than sister. Never thought I'd find a song that explains why I am anti-substance/alcohol. Nobody fucking gets it when I tell them why, but I find comfort in knowing that Paul does. |

| Freelance Whales – Broken Horse Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I think most people are looking at it from a point of view that isn't literal enough. The album is composed of a collection of ghost stories and dream logs. To me, this song is a combination of the two. In my opinion, this is about the Headless Horseman (ghost story) who has a dream where his significant other has turned into a horse and he doesn't know what to do. He still loves her, but she is merely an animal, so he has to let her go. Though I guess it could be considered a metaphor for the way relationships change, and people change, and soon enough you have to move on. | |
| Fleet Foxes – He Doesn't Know Why Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
It's kind of scary how much I relate to this. His brother came back after a while, but he wasn't the same. He can't figure out what happened to him, or what made him this way. When he looks into his brothers eyes he can just tell that something is wrong. He's a different person now. And when his brother says he'll change back, it's only for a short while. Then he turns back into this stranger. And he wishes his brother would let his family help him, or at least tell his family what's the matter. But he can't figure out what to say or do, because nothing ever helps. |

| Sia – Breathe Me Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
To me, this song is about her struggle with depression. Underlying may be an eating disorder and self-harm. Self-harm seems more apparent, though. Especially in the first verse. I can really relate to this song. Every line just fits perfectly. I heard it when I was with my best friend, Hannah. Her family had taken me to Hawaii, and we were sitting in our hotel room when this song came on her iPod. I started singing along, because I knew I had heard it somewhere before, I'm just not sure where. She was surprised I knew it. It was really sad, though. Because we were just laying there listening to this heartbreaking song. "This song is my life," she said. And that just really made the whole picture a lot more clear. It reassured me that she felt the same way I did all along. It was just so real, I almost started to cry. I miss her so much. Anyway, just thought I'd share my story about this song. It really is beautiful and I don't think I'll ever get tired of listening to it. |

| An anthem of loneliness. | |
| Jónsi – Tornado Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Sounds like he's the villain in his own story. He's battling with himself. And in order to reach his full potential, he has to learn to know. Know himself, that is, and who he is in comparison to who he wants to be. He just wants to be free of himself, and I think a lot of us feel that way sometimes. |

| The Offspring – Kristy, Are You Doing OK? Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Reminds me of my best friend from 4th grade... I'm so sorry. I should have told someone, I really should have. I just couldn't believe my own brother would do such a thing. I can't even express how sorry I am. Now this will never end for you... |

This song is possibly the best example of pure emotion I have ever come across. It's just so real. |

| Freelance Whales – Danse Flat Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think this song is haunting, but in kind of an adorable way, if that makes sense. It reminds me of the exact moment when you begin to understand things. A bittersweet feeling. |

| Coldplay – We Never Change Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song is beautiful. To me, it represents all of the things we hope and dream about. The simple things that everyone else seems to possess. It's about feeling alone wherever you are, and just wanting to be a part of something. We all want to have a purpose, and I think this song really brings out that longing. |

Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal... This song is my life. So deep and meaningful... I mean, nobody besides Rebecca Black could ever think of rhyming "Friday" with "Friday." Brilliant. |

I actually don't find this one as sad... To me it has a sense of pride. It's by far my favorite song of his. |

| Jack's Mannequin – Into the Airwaves Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
It fascinates me that he can stay so positive even when going through such hard times. My best friend moved to another state about 2 months ago, and I haven't talked to her since. I would love to talk to her, but she was sent to a boarding school because she attempted suicide for about the 5th time... And there was really nothing else they could do. I just received my first letter from her, and that made me so happy. But anyway, I really love this song. The feelings is felt so clearly, and it's beautifully written. Jack's Mannequin is always astounding. |

| Sigur Rós – Hoppípolla Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song is on my favorite playlist, and I had it playing when I was called downstairs because I had a letter. It was from my best friend, who I had not spoken to in two months because she was sent away to a boarding school in another state. As I walked back into my room to open the letter, this song was blasting, and it was the most perfect moment... This song will forever be in my heart. Even though I had no clue what he was saying, his voice is just filled with hope, you can tell. This is the way music is supposed to be. |

| Mumford & Sons – Sister Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song really means a lot to me. I'm the youngest one in my family, and I have two older brothers. We've really been through a lot, and they know that I struggle. For me this song signifies learning to love your family for all they are, and maintaining the love no matter what happens. If I want to feel alive, then I have to learn to love them, flaws and all. |

| Mumford & Sons – Roll Away Your Stone Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
"It's not the long walk home that will change this heart But the welcome I receive at the restart" I think this means that the journey isn't what matters, but the destination. Where you are now plays only a small factor in where you will be. It's not the hard work that will change you, but the relief you feel once it's over with. It could mean anything, but to me it symbolizes depression, and finding happiness again. |
