This is that one song...
I know exactly what it means, how I feel when it plays. I just cannot put it into words. My words can't do it justice. It's just too relevant. |

Paints such a vivid picture.
Especially... "The nightingale tells his fairytale, a paradise where roses grew. Though I dream in vain...in my heart it will remain, my stardust melody. The memory of love's refrain." |

| Gotye – Somebody That I Used To Know Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
I actually interpreted Kimbra's verse, in fact, being about herself. Not even with the addition of a third party (Gotye's other ex?/current lover).
Gotye is explaining that Kimba is someone he used to know - Kimba's rebuttal is basically saying it's a two way road. He is blasting her about changing, being someone totally different, and leaving him out to dry. That aftermath will break the strongest of men. By singing this song and speaking towards all his discontent, he is actually proving he is still hung up on her, or some part of their relationship.
I imagine Kimba, facetiously - air quotes and all - singing "you said that you could let it go (MOVE ON..."said that we could still be friends") and I wouldn't catch you hung up on 'somebody that you used to know'" In this case, I feel she is actually talking about herself. She wanted to be friends and move on, but Gotye can't seem to let it go and be civil. |

Actually, "the bells inside" most likely refer to the bells inside the telephone. in the lines prior he talks about the telephone working both ways and the possibility about never hearing it ring (and be her) again... hence the bells inside are no longer ringing for him, they have found someone else. metaphorically, of course! |

| Janelle Monáe – Say You'll Go Lyrics

She is the truth. This album is EPIC and the slower tunes are just as amazing as the upbeat and oft insane. This is a wonderful love song, one with religious undertones - Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity. It's undeniable. This song, I feel, shows that Love can conquer all... and that it's attainable for all. And once you experience that love, it's not just something small. Of course, it can be experienced on many different levels.
She's got it. |

| Jack Johnson – Go On Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
Taken straight from the Rolling Stone article:
"One of the album's strongest songs, "Go On," juxtaposes coming to grips with Riley's [19 year-old family friend] death and watching his own son grow up and learn to tread water for the first time. In fact, as Johnson was writing lyrics for the album, he noticed that many of the lines could apply to his children and to Riley. "It's about learning how to let go of someone you love," he says, "watching them swim away." |

I really like both versions of this song. The jazzier one definitely works a little better for a live show, but the one off the prime soundtrack is intense. You can really get in deep. The toughest thing at the end of a relationship is simply accepting it and moving on. It's so tough to keep a high level of tact when dealing with a broken heart, feelings usually tend to be bitter, and wishing someone only good things when it's over is all the more heartbreaking. Man that shit hurts... |

It's absolutely amazing how he was able to get a tune to PERFECTLY correlate to the lyrics. its such a moving song. he really nailed it. it gives such an atmospheric background tune, and the piano going up and down the scale really symbolizes the up and down battle it must have been... it goes into the rockin mode once he is cured, but the fight was never over... dealing with the complicatons. he swore the doors were locked, but finally found the key and beat it. truly an inspiration... and this song captures everything perfectly. |

What story did we swallow hook and sinker?
Oh, and I'm pretty sure I don't act like none of this matters. who is this guy preaching to? Everytime there is chaos and paranoia there's a damn conspiracy theory. I'm not naive, but I choose to think rationally. Get a fucking clue.

| Melody Gardot – Some Lessons Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
|
This song is so good. If I had to guess id say its about her bike accident. Looking back at everything, being inside the ambulance ("miracle that i'm alive"), how lucky she was to be alive ("to think that i could have falled a centimeter to the left.) But the accident is what ultimately lead her to music and where she is today. Life is a gift, but can be taken away in a flash. That's what i think she's getting at. Great introspective look on her situation, and a broad life lesson: "some lessons we learn the hard way." |

wow... the lyrics, the melody, they just mesh perfectly. my favorite part has to be the very end. the actual lyrics, and the way its sung you can just feel the tiny bit of relief in his voice... even if it was just in a dream. "last night I dreamt you were with me, finally I could breathe." that is something I can relate to all too well |

i downloaded this song forever ago off the transcendental highway album... and it is much longer than the other versions i now have. the ending had a really cool outro about 6 minutes into the song (well, after it was over). but ill never forget it
"and no matter where we run, and no matter what we do... you hold onto me, and ill hold onto you."
couldnt think of any better way to end this song. hope you all have heard that part or get a chance to hear it. this song is special. haunting. simple. beautiful. |

i pray that everyone feels the love of God
"HEY UNFAITHFUL, I WILL TEACH YOU TO BE STRONGER."
thats to us all... we all doubt and have a hard time putting our full faith in something we can't fully grasp. however, if you just give it a chance to feel at least a little of God's grace, your life will change forever. we are all sinners, but God's love is always there. always.. for EVERYONE, no matter who you are. |

| Third Eye Blind – How's It Going to Be Lyrics

ive always wondered what he really meant when he says "cause i dont care, hows it gonna be."
part of me thinks he is actually talking to the girl saying.. hows all this going to turn out once weve said our goodbyes? i dont care, just be honest nd tell me what you really think. or is he trying to put up a shield to her by saying he doesnt care.. or does he truly not care. always wondered that |

'listen close enough all else fades... fades away'
damn this sound just oozes calm.. chilling... cherishing those little moments you spend just watching the sunset and looking at the stars.. taking it all in. thats what this song means to me.. the gift of life, and being able to let everything go for just that time and enjoy the real beauty in life.
but maybe im just in a weird mood |

| John Mayer – In Your Atmosphere Lyrics

some other people had touched on this point before... but i also love the "id die if i saw you, die if i didnt see you there."
i just broke up with my gf... but most of her friends are all my friends. so everywhere we go (to all the clubs, houses, parties, hang outs.. etc..) we end up seeing each other.
and for me.. i care for her a lot, but sometimes things just dont work out. johns line really portrays that simply. you want to see them so bad because you still think about them and it feels weird not having them in your life.. but you know to fully move on you just need to stay away and try to forget it all.. but sadly that doesnt work. its all a sad reminder of what could have been |

if only the new album would come out sooner.. love the use of the electric guitars in this song though. i kinda get the idea this is about some kind of relationship that is past the point of healing or reconciliation... they always say time heals everything, but sometimes that's just not the case. but theres more to this song... just cant grasp it all yet |

-stay gold speaks the truth. i always looked at "love is watching someone die... so who's gonna watch you die?" as the people who really care for you and love you will be there through the good times..and in this case, the bad. the toughest thing to do is watch someone you care about leave you (or pass away). but those people who care the most will be there no matter what. this song paints a real picture in your mind. haunting
btw i love how it outros into "brothers on a hotel bed"
the piano both is exquisite. |

| Mat Kearney – What's a Boy To Do Lyrics
| 17 years ago

i always thought the ending referred to how he wishes the boy at the bottom of the bridge had a way out..and with a kiss from the son of man, he would have had a way out. i thought the final lesson of the song was in the final line. whats the son of man and a boy to you? meaning.. whats the son of man (jesus) mean to you in your life?
He can make all the difference.
i only say this because i know mat is a christian who found God after hitting rock bottom, and he started out writing "christian" music. so this is just a thought, i could be way off base. what matters in the end is what the song means to You. |
