Benjamin Francis Leftwich – Shine Lyrics 11 years ago
I think that basically in this song he's telling a girl that he hopes she'll find true love, and he's making her aware of the fact that he might be the guy to give her that.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich – Pictures Lyrics 11 years ago
I think this song is a bout dying and the people around you dying, and that you shouldn't be afraid of death:

If you crash your car into,
Your best friends house,
Would you be quiet as,
Words come out of their mouth.

I don't know exactly what this verse means, but I think in the "would you be quiet as words come out of their mouth" he's asking someone if he would hang on to life as his friends try to safe him from death.

Stop..... dont do it
I have been waiting for it,
Stop..... I knew it would come.

In this verse the naritve shifts to that someone, who has decided that he wants to die. He's telling his friends to let him die for he knew it was coming.

If you find a god next to,
Your girlfriends bed,
Would it be hard to,
Sort out your spinning head.

The naritive shifts back to Leftwich. This time he's asking someone if, when his girlfriend is dying, he'd still know what to do with his life and if it would still be worth living.

Stop.... dont say that dear,
That you wanted him here,
Stop.... dont give him a clear.

The narritive shift to that someone again, the someone is now telling his girlfriend to hang on to life and not let the god take her.

Take a picture of them,
Take a picture of them.

This verse can be interpreted in two ways, wich is why Leftwich sings the sentence twice. On the first time he's telling the someone from the first verse to take the memories of his friends with him to heaven. On the second time he's telling the someone from the third verse to let his girlfriend go but he should always remember her.

If you are afraid dont be,
I have the whole thing planned,
We’ll start in the ocean baby,
And when we find the land,
We will be thankful to,
All of our friends,
That they didnt leave us,
As we got to the end.

In this verse he's telling us, the listeners, to not be afraid of dying cause he know what it will be like. We will go to some "land" wich is the afterlife. And when we get to this land, the memories of our friends will still be with us and we will be thankfull that they stuck with us to the end.

Take a picture of them,
Take a picture of them,
Take a picture of them,
Take a picture of them.

Again he's telling us to always remember the ones who've left us and that whe will always remember our friends and loved-ones when we've died and went to the afterlife.

If you find your faith in,
Your parents god,
Dont be so quick to,
Point out the flaws in it.

Here Leftwich is telling us that if believing in something helps you cope with stuf, than you shouldn't "point out their flaws" and you should just keep believing it even if it might seem unlikely.

Youve been around and youve seen,
The way that things work,
But you need a compass to,
Get around your house.

In this verse he's saying that dying opens up a whole new world. Because when you live and you've seen everything, you have not seen what it's like to die. The "But you need a compass to get around your house." line makes this clear, the "new house" is refering to heaven or Walhalla or whatever you want to call it.

The Doors – Unhappy Girl Lyrics 11 years ago
I think this song is about a girl who has been left alone and because of this somehow she cannot be herself. She is "playing warden to her soul".
It hurts Jim to see her in this state and so he's telling her to be herself, to "saw through all her bars".
In the last verse I think he's telling her to take chances and live on the edge, because there's nothing more satisfying than to "swim in mystery"
