Oasis – Wonderwall Lyrics 11 years ago
This was my husband's fav. song ever. He passed away in November. The night before he died, I was driving home and the song came on the radio. It was unnerving. The lyrics spoke to me a in very different way that night. I truly believe that there are many references to Beatles music in the song, and some of the other interpretations are spot on, but here is was mine from that night.

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you (you are in charge of my decisions now as I am in a coma)
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do (you have some plan in your head formulating)
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now (I loved you more than anyone loved you)

Back beat, the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out (you are so numb, there is nothing)
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding (this is going to be a very rough trip and you must make it on your own).
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how (I can't communicate now, and before because of my brain tumor I could express myself properly.

Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall (you've always been there for me holding me up while I have been so sick)

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now

And all the roads that lead you there are winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how

I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall

I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall

I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

Placebo – The Bitter End Lyrics 12 years ago
After reading this it DOES go hand-in-hand with 1984 (see page 2 of comments here), but I also thought...
I think it is about 2 people being in the wrong place at the wrong time. One may be in a relationship or married." Since were feeling so anesthetized In our comfort zone", the voice and the one he singing to is SO hurt, so ripped up that they are not even feeling pain anymore, perhaps because of the situation. "You showered me with lullabies" perhaps saying/hoping it is going to be okay, but it is not and she is walking away from him, away from that "fateful" day when something that wasn't supposed to happen happened, or they came to realization that there was no hope for them. The bitter end I think signifies when the shit is going to hit the fan, they have both suffered so much, this could be metaphorically when her relationship ends and frees her up to be with him "in 6 months time" at which point he is so destroyed it will be too late--it feels like suicide it is THAT sad. The guitar riffs on this are amazing.

I'm amazed that no one has written about one of my fav Placebo songs. It's not by them but still... I LOVE this song. I think it is about 2 people being in the wrong place at the wrong time. One may be in a relationship or married. "You want the sin but not the sinner" " Since were feeling so anesthetized In our comfort zone", the voice and the one he singing to is SO hurt, so ripped up that they are not even feeling pain anymore, perhaps because of the situation. "You showered me with lullabies" perhaps saying/hoping it is going to be okay, but it is not and she is walking away from him, away from that "fateful" day when something that wasn't supposed to happen happened, or they came to realization that there was no hope for them. The bitter end I think signifies when the shit is going to hit the fan, they have both suffered so much, this could be metaphorically when her relationship ends and frees her up to be with him "in 6 months time" at which point he is so destroyed it will be too late--it feels like suicide it is THAT sad.
