I seriously love this song. I downloaded it years ago and it came up on shuffle on my iTunes and now I can't stop listening to it. To me: Would you believe me If I said I was sorry? The question wasn't meant to hurt, it was just my fear of losing you. And now you're filling all the space that surrounds you. I'll soon be tucked away underneath your bed... Where you gave yourself to me, where I gave myself to you. To me, he's clearly said something that completely upset her and for whatever reason their relationship ended. Now she's "filling all the space that surrounds her" (Probably told him she wasn't interested in even being friends anymore and just wanted space), with other people and relationships. He then realizes that if he isn't already, he'll soon just be a tucked away memory of what used to be while she begins an intimate relationship elsewhere. Maybe it's all for the best. But I just don't see any good in this, no. Maybe we'll find something better... But the lovers that leave us will always hold the place. To me, he's beginning to think that maybe it ended because it was meant to. Then he keeps telling himself that he just can't imagine how it was meant to end. He thinks that maybe they'll each find better people for them, but that their memory to each other will always hold its own permanent place in each of their separate lives. And maybe it was wrong of me to think I could keep you. And maybe it's the last few drinks taking over my mouth, And all I've been thinking. I want you to know that I am fine here without you. But I can't bring myself to lie to you. He begins to realize that maybe it was completely foolish and selfish of him to believe that he could keep such a great person for the rest of his life. He knows he's been drinking, and believes that may be the cause of all of his feelings. But he wants to remind the girl that he is fine without her. Although he knows reminding her of that would simply be a lie. And since we're being honest, I feel I should tell you, I've been filling up the empty space between you and I. Between you and I, She could never compare to you. Between you and I, I still keep your pictures underneath my bed. Where she gives herself to me, Where I gave myself to you. So he wants her to know that he too has filled his time with things and relationships, too. But he wants her to also know that his relationship does not compare to his past relationship with her. Also that he keeps "her picture" (his memories with her), "underneath his bed", (close to him).. Where they both gave themselves away to each other. Maybe it's all for the best. But I just don't see any good in this, no. Maybe we'll find something better... But the lovers that leave us will always hold the place. Again, he questions the different lives they lead and wonders if they made the right decision. Either way, he explains that he will always love her and have a special place for her in his heart, regardless of how many people they both fill their space with. Heartbreaking and hits completely home for me. What a beautiful, well-written, and sung song. :( |

| All Time Low – Jasey Rae Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Ahh Atl, you've done it again. Namely Alex though (; I'm going to have to go with the crowd and say the acoustic is absolutely perfect. Here's my take on the meaning of Jasey Rae. Lights out I still hear the rain These images that fill my head Now keep my fingers from making mistakes Tell my voice what it takes to Speak up, speak up And keep my conscience clean when I wake He's thinking about how he could possibly keep his conscience clean after it's all over. Don't make this easy I want you to mean it, Jasey (Say you mean it) You're dressed to kill I'm calling you out (Don't waste your time on me) Everyone says they're confused about the "don't make this easy, I want you to mean it Jasey, say you'll mean it" part because if it was a one night stand, why would he be saying don't make this easy? But I think what he means is he told her a lot of things that weren't true to get to her to sleep with him, and maybe he was just hoping she'd just say she knows it'll be a one night stand regardless of what he told her. Maybe he's saying "don't make this easy, I want you to mean it" because it's easy for him so hurt people, he'd maybe rather her know it's a one night stand. Now there's an aching in my back A stabbing pain that says I lack The common sense and confidence To bring an end to promises That I make in times of desperate conversation Hoping my night Could be better than theirs in the end (Just say when) This is pure genius. He's saying he realizes that he lacks the common sense and the confidence to not make promises of love to her to get her to sleep with him. Plus, I'm sure the whole time he was just hoping he could end up having a better time than his friends who weren't having a one night stand. Don't make this easy I want you to mean it, Jasey (Say you mean it) You're dressed to kill I'm calling you out (Don't waste your time on me) He's saying please mean what you say about this only being a one night stand and set aside what I'm promising you. And that she was dressed to kill that's how it all started. He was just hoping she wouldn't waste her time on him. I've never told a lie And that makes me a liar I've never made a bet But we gamble with desire I've never lit a match With intent to start a fire But recently The flames are getting out of control He tries to think that he must have some good in him, saying "I've never told a lie". But everytime he tries to find good he contridicts himself because he knows he lies to her, gambles with his friends about her emotions/desire and having a one night stand with her. He also says all he wanted was a one night stand, but it turned into her emotions getting involved with the sex and it got out of control. Call me a name, kill me with words Forget about me, it's what I deserve I was your chance to get out of this town He's saying for her to hurt him as bad as he hurt her and just forget about him. Maybe she talked about running away with him? But I ditched the car and left you to Wait outside He left her after the one night stand not caring. I hope the air will serve to remind you That my heart is as cold As the clouds of your breath And my words are as timed As the beating in my chest He's saying he tried to warn her but he promised her things because a one night stand was more important to him than her feelings and that at the time his heart was cold and unmoved by what he did, and that to get her to have sex with him his words were well rehearsed and timed. That's my take on it. Ahh, i love ATL<3 I can listen to this song over and over again. Gahh, Alex you're gorgeous and being a dbag makes your songs 10x as beautiful. Sad, but beautiful. |

| Relient K – Be My Escape Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I agree with liebherk. To me it's like being trapped in your life and not being able to get out to who you want to be because of not accepting God, etc. Ahh, relient k does it again! My favorite line would have to be "'Cause I know to live you must give your life away". It's true though, to fully live you must be willing to give your life away to God. He also knows he's deserving of all the bad things that should come to him, but he recognizes that life isn't fair and most people just only recognize life not being fair when it suits them, but he sees that he doesn't deserve to be as far and better off in his life as he is. What a song. | |

Okay, this song is amazing. But ANYWAYS. This song iss very obviously about a group of EXTREMELY good friends, who feel locked in their town. They feel as if the town is holding them back, & there's never anything to do. But at the same time I think he's saying by having such a small town, with nothing to do, it's brought them so much closer: example: So I stand back to reflect in this town I hate At least just for a second I think I might stay It's the perfect bestfriend song. A group of friends can really complete you, even if your town is the worst. |
