Does anyone know for sure if it is really Julian singing the chorus too? It's a bit hard to tell if the chorus is featuring a girl or if it is actually him.... |

| Aretha Franklin – (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I think this song is pretty straightforward. Its about finding the one, that makes it feel all worth it, that makes you feel whole, that changes everything. But the line that everyone knows "You make me feel, like a natural woman" is amazing in its simplicity and honesty. Because if someone has ever made you feel that way..that is the perfect way to describe it. Going through life there will be people that make you feel dumb, nerdy, prissy, manly, and just plain inadequate..and then all of a sudden someone comes along and you don't feel any of those things. You feel like you're just right. That you don't need to try, that you are a complete natural at BEING a woman. And its wonderful :) | |

| The Airborne Toxic Event – Half Of Something Else (Bombastic Version) Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song is obviously filled with inside references to the singer and his literal relationship, but the general subject matter is something that anyone can understand; the feelings that prompted the writing of this song, something that many people can relate to.. The feeling of going through your life, doing all these things, but feeling that something was just...off. That somehow or other, you were not complete. And then you meet someone or you're with them or whatever and then all of a sudden, everything feels RIGHT. Like that this is how it was supposed to be all along. And you realize..all this time, all the things you had done, places you had gone, you were just floating around, almost like half of a good book..not BAD by yourself...but not finished. Not whole. All you needed was for a certain someone to come and finish the book. And then, not only are you just NOT BAD but you're INCREDIBLE, together. They're like the milk to your cookies... And once you find them, you don't want to do anything without them, and you don't want them to do anything without you... Just like after you've eaten cookies dipped in milk, it just doesn't feel right to have one without the other. |

| Interpol – The New Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
My favorite line is "I guess you could say, I gave you my edge". Its like emphasizing how much he has given up for her/their relationship. Not in a "you owe me" kind of way, but almost in a........ "thats how much i love you" way. Buts thats not the exact feeling i get from that line. It's hard for me to explain.. it's more of just a really honest statement of how vulnerable he is. Like any advantage he had in the relationship (whether it be emotional distance, or no intention of committing etc) he's given up for her. Like "Here I am. No shroud, no mystery. I no longer have anything to keep me from getting hurt. You now have the advantage over me." Its like that point in a relationship where you realize that this person could hurt you more than anyone else. That you are in such a vulnerable position. Not that you don't trust them... But there's always that fear, and that prayer in the back of your mind, that they don't abuse that power they have. And the way he sings it is just so matter-of-fact, and yet weak at the same time. And that combined with the melody and everything, it's just...beautiful. |

| Third Eye Blind – How's It Going to Be Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I think everyone can agree that this song brings back memories, it just has that type of an atmosphere.. and its so relateable, everyone's been through something like that or similar. But the general feeling i get from the song is....fear. The fear we all have. The fear that we will never be able to go back to the good times that we are missing right now. The fear of change. That, even though you know the situation you are in needs to end (whatever the situation is), not wanting it to end. Not wanting to take that step that will change everything, even if that change is needed. The fear of making the wrong decision, and then realizing your mistake only after its too late. The whole 'This needs to happen, but....what's it gonna be like? When i can't talk to you anymore?' The lines "How's it gonna be..when you don't know me? How's it gonna be..when you're sure i'm not there? How's it gonna be..when there's noone there to talk to..between you and me" capture that feeling perfectly. The hesitation. The unsure-ness. The fear. They won't know your life, your problems, your joys anymore. They won't know YOU anymore. The thought that someone who is so much a part of your life right now....will eventually be nothing. It's terrifying. |

| Jack Johnson – Turn Your Love Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
"Let's not go to sleep tonight it's not that it goes too fast it's just that it goes at all" Can it get any better than that? Jack Johnson has this ability to take simple everyday words and make them into sentences that are so beautiful (because of and despite the fact) of their simplicity. and not only make beautiful sentences, but be able to convey in those sentences, a feeling that i think every one of us has experienced, but never been able to put into words, or even into a coherent thought. if that makes any sense at all :-? |

| The Fray – Vienna Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| What's interesting is the chorus makes you think he is being kind of a bit hard-hearted about the relationship ending like "whatever you can't get me back, i'm gone" but what's so beautifully heart-breaking is when he says "This is my game face"....almost like he is in just as much pain as her, but he's trying not to show it because he's trying to do what he thinks is the right thing to do..at least at this point in their lives.... also at the end where he starts questioning "Is there really no way to reach me? Am i already gone?" almost like as he's saying goodbye, about to leave, his game face and his resolution is starting to crumble, because even though this seems to be the right thing to do, he really does love her that much, regardless. | |

Standing at your doorway my stomach all tangled and tight wrecked in the worst way oh God where are you tonight? Cause i don't know what I'm doing here where to begin just take one deep breath oh darling don't let me in. A thousand times we've said "I'm sorry, it's over again" I can't live like this, feel like this in my own skin It all seems so degrading in the morning such sin your face just like a child oh darling don't let me in. And we laughed just like children we're wading in sheets on your bed while we secretly pray like we're mourning the dead And you tell me you're so weary I know, I'm weary too you hold back a tear oh darling what are we to do? And the wine And the rain And the feel of your skin Against mine I'm swimming, I'm flying, I'm dying This face This fear Just stay with me, please stay with me my dear This hand This glove This only thing I love. This losing (x12) This endless losing love |

i know that the interpretations are all about what the lyrics and melody and just general atmosphere of a song means to you, the feeling it gives you that you can't always even articulate, or explain to other people in a way that they will get it. so with that said, this is what i picture this song meaning: I picture a guy and a girl that were together and have one of those relationships that had so much history and that they made an indelible mark on eachother's lives, so that everywhere they go, they see things that remind them of eachother and the time they spent together and so when he hears that song or drives by that spot or so on, it makes him miss her and miss the past and miss those memories. and so, like every other time this happens, he shows up at her door, and is asking can he come in so they can talk about them, because he misses her so much and can't rememeber why they broke up etc etc etc and so, like countless times before, she lets him in and they end up getting caught up in the memories and the moment, and he spends the night, like every other time before. and them being together reminds them of their past and they love it, but secretly they're both praying "like they're mourning the dead" --whether they know that they're praying that it won't go the same way again, or whether its one of those times when you can't stop yourself from desperately praying but you're not really exactly sure why.... then they wake up the next morning and they suddenly remember how this scenario always goes: after the nostalgia has worn away they realize that thats all it was--just nostalgia. they tried to be together and now they remember clearly why it didn't work out. and it leaves them feeling even worse than before. so i think the part where he's saying "darling don't let me in" its like him in his sane mind--when he's NOT pleading with her in her doorway to let him in cause he misses her so much or when he DOESN'T see something that makes him miss their past and the idea of "eachother"--its when he can see clearly that starting the whole vicious cycle is a bad idea and will just always cycle the same way and end in more pain for them both. its kinda like him saying "when i show up at your door, like we both know i will, no matter how much i plead and beg and seem like i want to be let in....don't let me in. because thats not what i want. i may think that what i want, at that time, but when it all wears off and i can think clearly again, i'll be glad we didn't put eachother through that again. so, darling, don't let me in." |
