Nickelback – Far Away Lyrics 16 years ago
personally,i dont think "far away" means literally far away,as in distance travelled..it refers to a relationship..perhaps one of them is straying,is becoming distant from the other..of course,that does often happen in long distance relationships!!!
this song means the world to me,since my boyfriend moved away a while ago..and he isnt TOO far away,location wise,but we dont see wach other much anymore,and it seems he has moved on in life!!..forgotten me..:(:(:(I NEED A HUG!
so its just like this..im still dreaming we can keep the relationship up,be together..and in the rare times i see him,i really cling to him!!:(hes been "far away" emotionally for FAR TOO LONG!

Michelle Branch – Goodbye to You Lyrics 16 years ago
i first heard this song on buffy (and,btw,to all buffy fans,i love you!!!lol) and ive loved it ever since!!!

"Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by"
-----a woman,letting go of a relationship that meant the world to her,because she knows its the time,its what she has to do-she gains some strength from that-knowing that shes doing whats right-she cant let it get her too down,can "count the days..."

" I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend"
------shes thought deeply about the relationship,but as she remembers,its like its all fake-shes seeing it for what it was-pretend-and when she sees it for what it it,she feels like shes starting all over again-for she never really gained everything from her relationship.

"Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to"
--------she is saying goodbye to the relationship,to'everything she thought she knew'-but she didnt really know,but she does know-she knows they werent supposed to be together-he was the one she loved,the one thing she tried to hold on to-past tense.perhaps she was young and she THOUGHT she was in love?

"I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right"
----She still cares about him,she still loves him,and painful as it is,she HAS to let it go.she can close her eyes and imagine that they are 'fine' but that would be a lie,and would not be right.

"And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time"
-------she is hurting because of how hard the decision to end the relationship is-she wants everything from him,to be with him,to share with him everything that is his,yet she also wants nothing from him,she wants to end the relationship and walk away.all of this is confusing her-she stil lwants him,but she cant lie anymore,shes NOT GIVING IN THIS TIME!!!
---------let me know what you think!!-----

Damien Rice – Accidental Babies Lyrics 16 years ago
"we ignored our others' happy plans...
...with no room for a pardon
in a place where no one knows what we have done"

This is about an affair-each of the-we'll call them 'affairees' have an other half,but they disregarded them in their affair,cast them aside in their passion,lust and desire for each other.its almost like they have sinned against their respective partners,and they cannot be forgiven-pardoned-becausse they have hidden their relationship,and wont admit it.

do you come
together ever with him?
is he dark enough
enough to see your light?
do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
do you miss my smell?
is he bold enough to take you on?
do you feel like you belong?
does he drive you wild?
or just mildly free?
what about me?

you held me like a lover
sweaty hands
and my foot in the appropriate place
we used cushions to cover happy glands
and the mild issue of our disgrace
our minds pressed and guarded
while our flesh disregarded
the lack of space for the light-hearted
in the boom that beats our drum

This describes the passion in their relationship-she perhaps has decided to end the affair and stick with her,for example,husband,just because that would be the "right thing" to do.And so,he asks him to compare the relatiosnhips-"do you come
together ever with him?""do you feel like you belong?
does he drive you wild?their minds have hidden the secret,their bodies have revealed it in a way-revealed that she truly desires him more-her body "did the talking"-she doesnt want the husband or boyfirend..she wants her 'bit on the side'
or just mildly free?
what about me?"-basically,are you passionate and as fiesty and in love for him-is your relationship as powerful or exciting?or does he make you feel dull,mudane,or boring?

and i know i make you cry
i know sometimes you wanna die
but do you really feel alive without me?
if so be free
if not leave him for me
before one of us has
accidental babies
for we are ...

In this verse,he asks his fellow'affairee' to listen to her heart,to do what she knows she truly wants to do-be honest with herself,and the man shes cheated on,and be with who she truly wants to."i make you cry..sometimes you wanna die"-she is really mourning the loss of their affair,and she is almost trapped in her marriage to the other man,it has taken her life away,she has no zest for life when she is stuck with someone she loves.and so he tells her,if she feels alive with her husband,then be free,stay in the marriage,but if she is willing to admit what deep down she really knows,that she feels so alive and in love with the'other man'-then be with him!he urges her to decide quickly,
"before one of us has
accidental babies"
-this is metaphorical-in a relationship,children represent responsibility,love,commitment,a tight bond...and so he asks her to leave her husband if thats what she wants,before she-or he himself-becomes bound to someone else and its too late.
--------
those are my thoughts anyway:)let me know what you think:)

Evanescence – My Immortal Lyrics 16 years ago
the song is very powerful,particularly as amy lee sings quite hauntingly "you still have all of me".this song can have sooooo many meanings-the loss or death of a lover,close friend,relative or a child.however,due to my own past experiences,i interpret it as a love song,about a lover who has betrayed or left the other.
--------
""i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all my childish fears
but if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
'cause your prescence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone""
------her lover means everything to her,shes in her own state where shes "supressed by childish fears" and the lover is all she has.However, if her lover is just there,like a ghost or shadow-there physically,but not there emotionally,not in love with her anymore-she'd prefer he would just give up and leave.It hurts her more to see him,knowing she doesnt really have all of him.--------

""these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase""
--------all of the pains of their relationship still haunt her,and while shes still hurting like this and loving him,she cant move on-"theres just too much that time cannot erase"-------

""when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
i held your hand through all of these years
but you still have...all of me""
------this in a way contradicts the prior meaning,that she relies on him-this is all the more significant.both lovers leaned heavily on each other,but soon she fell too hard,and she needed him more than he needed her.shes not able to be as helpful to him as he has to her,but she still loves him,still wants to give him everything-he doesnt need her,but she, still in love with him,seems to live for him and to be there for him--"you still have all of me"

""you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face, it haunts
my once pleasant dreams
your voice, it's chased away
all the sanity in me""
--------He seemed to give her everything,seemed to be in love with her,to be so bright and alive with her-but has lost that.he has left their relationship behind,
yet she is stuck there,dreaming of the now dead relationship,haunted by his absence.Him-his face,his voice,is all she thinks and dreams of,and it tears her apart---------

""i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
but though you're still with me
i've been alone all along""
--------shes trying to get over their relationship,put it behind her-hes there,but not really there,his heart may be with another,or perhaps his mind is simply not there-its like hes sleep walking,blindly walking through life-he doesnt particularly care about her-she has realised-"but though youre still with me,ive been alone all along"-she has clung to the relationship for so long,wanting him to stay,yet shes hanging onto a shell-she has been alone all along,since he hasnt shared and loved and cared like she has done.

Just my take,Then again,im just a girl,just a stupid girl who loves a bit of romance,still bound by love:)

James Blunt – You're Beautiful Lyrics 16 years ago
this song refers to true,pure love-the artist has fallen in love with this girl,but knows that she is out of bounds-quite possibly leading to suicide to numb the pain of knowing he can never be with his one true love.There are references to death throughout-"we shared a moment
That will last till the end"..is the moment they shared and his dream of being her all that has kept him going,but eventually becomes an obsession-consuming him?
"Cause I have got a plan"..what plan?suicide?surely not one to somehow gain her love,for he admits "I'll never be with you"
"There must be an angel
With a smile on her face
When she thought up
That I should be with you"..
Angels..watching over him,guiding him..she seems perfect to him,yet he cant be with her-shes with someone else,and is perhaps out of her league-she notices him when hes "fucking high"..so angels guide him to what he feels is the answer..where he can be with her someday.
