| Nine Inch Nails – And All That Could Have Been Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
@[Aquarius121:3236] Well that's so true. This song always makes me cry. I know it has always been the same and it always will be. Everyone will always walk away. And someone can mean everything to me but this always ends in making me more miserable and convincing me that I won't ever mean anything to anyone. Just run away like everybody does. I wish you good luck, but unfortunately I think it will never end. |

| Nine Inch Nails – Something I Can Never Have Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| Maybe about how drugs are the only thing to make unrequited love go away. You want something you can never have (being loved) and to forget about the pain, frustration and sadness there is just one thing. But of course sometimes you remember that it's not good, that you were someone different, but well it's over and you will never stop wanting it. So have to do drugs to stop wanting it just for a moment. | |

@[redstripe:3042] It's my life, too. :( I was truly in love with the guy who showed me this song but he clearly never liked me and never will. A strange way of telling me that |

@[tiffanyayala99:3041] I have always interpreted this the same way and this was kind of "our song" with some guy I personnaly was really in love with. He gave me the vinyl of that song and I really believed it was his way of telling me he loved me inspite of all this indecision. But well, now I think it didn't. Today I read this interpretation by someone called grandmaster-d on another site and I think he nailed it. "IMO this song is about unfulfilled love. But it is the singer himself who can not love his partner. The hook pretty much suggests, that he wants to “go ahead”. But he (for some reason) can’t and that’s why he feels like only going backwards. “Going ahead” in this context means breaking up with his girlfriend as suggested by verse 1: “But I hear it inside my head all day” means he hears her calling for him all day, which obviously annoys him, because that’s the moment when he realizes that he is “just holding up to the hope(!) that … her(!) feelings dont show”. He hopes, she doesn’t have to much feelings for him, because he doesn’t love her. In verse 2 the singer assures us, he isn’t the “seed of all this indecision”, because he “decided long ago”. This suggests the singer experienced some kind of trauma quite some time ago and he still barley is able to have any feelings whatsoever. So he “decided” to not love anyone again because he fears the pain again. And when he’s singing about his hopes, that he got “up again, oh no, not again” he is referring to his hope he will eventually fall in love again. But on the other side, that’s not what he wants (oh no, not again) or that’s what he even is afraid of." |

| If some day I meet someone who pulls me out of the dirt, I'll send him this song. Maybe it will never happen. | |

@[artystka:1715] Sometimes after an intense relationship and a tough breakup you don't feel like a real person anymore. I agree with your interpretation. |

"I miss you cause I like damage I need something I can hurt" Such few words, but they say it all. There are people who just need to hurt. |

| Bloc Party – On Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
Once I met a guy and when everybody left we decided to stay up and do drugs together. We took the first train to the seaside, kissed and talked and it felt like we knew each other for years. Everything was bright and beautiful, we were lighthearted and it felt like flying. Just perfect like this song. No apology on drugs, but we still like each other and we shared the most amazing experience. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – I Was Once a Loyal Lover Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I think he was different before. He WANTED to settle down and tried so many times, but got burned every single time. Now he isn't able to do that anymore and the only thing he is able to do, are meaningless matches. A match can't burn you down. If you don't get close you don't mind losing them. |

| Nine Inch Nails – March of the Pigs Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
Nobody thinks this is about penises and sex as the only way to feel better? "Crawl right up on your knees Please greed feed (no time to hesitate) " What are u doing on ur knees if not sucking a dick... "Don't like the look of it don't like the taste of it don't like the Smell of it I want to watch it come down " Yeah, ok, dicks... "Take the skin and peel it back " Dick... "Now doesn't that make you feel better? The pigs have won tonight Now they can all sleep soundly And everything is all right" True... It does make me feel so much better. |

| Nine Inch Nails – Somewhat Damaged Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
This whole album describes most accurately how I feel all the time now. Abandonned and depressed to the core and it won't change. EVER. It's just getting worse and worse even if you can't imagine it still could. And I keep asking myself HOW the hell he managed still to be alive 15 years later if he really felt the way he describes in these songs. I hope I won't. |

| Interpol – Everything Is Wrong Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I think these lyrics are wrong. (Truly, truly, truly) Enter the override, how we run the day Sleeker and cheaper, the wind changed Following deeper, they do what I say Spectral incentives, have paved the way Everything is wrong, wrong, everything is wrong I guess we open time, what is now is overcome (Truly, truly, truly) I think I know why, I say what I say Inverse achievements, I rule the daze Am I more soulful? Am I coming down now? Can we start over as agents of peace? Everything is wrong, wrong, everything is wrong All we have is time, but my heart is going wrong We're taking a part of both of us, but nobody likes to wait Everything is wrong, truly wrong, everything is wrong Everything is wrong (truly, truly, truly) (Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on) We made our home, without begging a pardon We made our home, with time alone It's taking apart the best of us, and nobody likes to wait Everything is wrong, truly wrong, everything is wrong |

| how in the world could anybody think THIS is a positive song?! it's one of the most desperate songs I know... | |
| Nine Inch Nails – We're in This Together Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Maybe you and me means me and me... We're inside this body and no matter what, we have to hold it together. I'm the only person by my side and don't let anybody else in anymore. | |

| I loke wour interpretation, fits the song | |
| Pedro the Lion – Second Best Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Maybe the song isn't meant like that, but the situation is shitty for everyone. Not only the wife feels like second best, but the lover is just second best, too. OK to go to a motel with, but for all the other stuff, the wife is "best". But having sex with a guy who doesn't love you is probably better than nothing. After all, what's wrong with second best? | |

| Evanescence – Call Me When You're Sober Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I was in a "relationship" with someone who is with someone else now. He keeps telling me he is missing me, but he only calls me when he's drunk. You never call me when you're sober... if you loved me, you would be here with me, if you want me, come find me, you have to make up your mind. Exactly! But apparently he is only missing me when he's drunk and when he isn't he prefers his actual girlfriend to me. YOU HAVE TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND! But I already did it for you, I don't want to be with a coward who just think he loves me when he's drunk. |

| Keane – Can't Stop Now Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I don't think that this is lying. You can regret something and it can break your heart to let someone down, but you just have to. People change. You can be sure of something in one moment but then the world is turning and you realize that you just can't take it anymore. You can drift away from a person without knowing it and if you already went far away in another direction, when you notice it, you can't stop anymore. This isn't wasted time, but it can happen that somebody moves on not noticing that the other one isn't following. You can be terribly sorry, but sometimes you just have to go. Women also do that. |
