| Damien Rice – Silent Night Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
|
Okay, this may not make much sense, but it's just how I personally relate to this song and what it means to me. I see it as a kind of situation where she wants to stay with him, but he just wants her to go home so he can go to sleep instead of her spending the night. And she pretends to not care ("I found some hate for you/ just for show") and he tries to placate her by telling her that he loves her so she'll feel reassured enough to leave ("you found some love for me/ thinking I'd go"). I don't think I'm explaining this very well, but that's just how I interpreted this song. |

| Modest Mouse – 3rd Planet Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
This probably has nothing to do with the song, but for some reason I thought about it when reading the line "reminding you we used to be three and not just two".
There's this story about the creation of man that there were three sexes that basically looked like two people rolled into one: man and man, woman and woman, and woman and man. The gods thought that they were too powerful like this, so Zeus split them apart with his lightening bolt and created a huge storm to blow everybody away from their other half. The story goes that you spend the rest of your life looking for your "other half" or your soul mate, just trying to become whole again. So if you follow this story, there were originally three sexes and now there's only two.
Again, it's probably not what they meant in this song, but it's just what it made me think of. |

I could be totally wrong, but I always saw this song about a guy who was drafted into the war, and when he came back he wasn't the same anymore, maybe because of shell shock or something. |

| Counting Crows – Have You Seen Me Lately Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
|
I think this song is about someone who feels like they're invisible, and they feel like nobody cares enough to notice them suffering. They try to tell themself that they don't need anybody, because if they don't need anybody they can't get hurt, but all they really want is someone to look past the facade they've constructed and see who they really are. |

| Avril Lavigne – Naked Lyrics
| 21 years ago

Before I write this, I just want to say I am entitled to my opinion, this is a site to post comments/opinions/ideas, and I originally looked at these lyrics because I thought the song was pretty catchy, and, as often as it's been used before, I do like the first lines. So don't start bitching me out for being an "Avril hater" because I'm not. First of all, AAngel1 4U, that rock and roll hand sign you mentioned is not the same sign used for the word "why" OR the letter "y" in sign language. Trust me, I know, and it is not. I thought the Avril article definetly had it's strong points. She is very hypocritical. She has claimed in one article (I think in YM) that she's punk. A few issues later, same magazine, she says she never said she was punk and she doesn't understand why people get on her case about it. ???? |

| Dispatch – The General Lyrics

This is just my opinion, but I think it's kind of odd that some people are saying that it's "so obviously about Jesus" or "so obviously anti-war". If it's so obvious, why are so many others debating it? Lots of times people take songs and interpret them to fit their own personal beliefs and opinions because then the song becomes more personal to them, even if their interpretation was not the bands original message. And that's not a bad thing. If a song makes a person happy or feel connected to someone/something, who are we to tell them they're wrong? |

Um, I like Dashboard Confessional, and I don't think that this is "shreaking jet engine noise". (That's a pretty inaccurate despcription of Finch in my opinion...) I actually really love this song. I think the lyrics are very true to real life and I like the way all the instruments come together. |

I think this song is about a girl who's depressed ("so you don't hate yourself tonight") and misses friends from high school, and the guy in the song wants to be there for her but can't sometimes. I like the line "you'd hardly be aware that you were blinking". I think she's just kind of lost in her own world. |

I can relate to this song so much. I so afraid of being left behind.

And does anybody know which DC album this song is on? |

Sealsanonymous, it's very insensitive to say that writing a song about cutting is stupid. You obviously don't know what it's like to feel so empty and alone that you hurt yourself. Someone else also said that it's masochistic, which it isn't. Masochism and self mutilation are two completely different things. Physchiatrists agree. |

I kind of found Penfold by accident, and I'm so glad I did. This song is so beautiful. I love these lyrics, mostly because I can relate to them. My favorite line is "I wish that I could understand, why i'm so upset to see these things i'll never have". So sad, but so true. |

This song is so beautiful and the lyrics are amazing. Took my breath away. Melanie Wills has a phenomenal voice.
"And it breaks my heart, to know,
The only reason you are here now
Is a reminder of what I'll never have..
I'll never have..
I'll never... "
I can relate so much, I'm in tears listening to this song. I've never really liked the loud, screaming kind of music, but this song is great.

I agree with Westsideduck. I can see that in this song. Not neccessarily killing yourself (but that also works), but maybe wanting someone else to be happy more than yourself, like loving someone so much that their happiness is all that matters. |

Just a thought for all of you out there (ahem, retarded sloth, jerkoff, ajwi) who think you're "special" or something for making others mad.
To Steadlydrowning, etc. I love Perks of Being a Wallflower, and I can definetly see the connection. This song is beautiful. I love the piano in this song, and it has so much emotion. I've never actually been in a relationship with anybody before, but for some reason this song just hits me. |

| The Goo Goo Dolls – Iris Lyrics

|

I know this song wasn't written about cutting, but the line "You bleed just to know you're alive" sums up a lot of what I'm feeling. Cutters do what they do (in some cases) because they feel numb on the inside. Physical pain is easier to understand than emotional pain. I love the lyric "Everything's made to be broken." This is just abeautiful song. I don't want everybody to see the "real me" because I know they wouldn't understand. This song sometimes feels like a narrative to my life. |
