| Digital Daggers – Still Here Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
For me it is someone remembering a departed or dying loved one. The pain of watching someone who is sick and fighting for every moment they can to live. You do all you can for them but in the end they are slowly dying. Slipping away. I can relate this to a few events in my life with ones that I lost. My grand mother, my mother, my first love....all died of a sickness that couldn't be controlled. Grandmother had brain cancer, mother had diabetes that she didn't monitor because she suffered from depression and didn't take care of herself, my first childhood love developed muscular distrophy. All of them I watched wither and decay before my eyes over the years. |

I relate to this as a fight with depression. Not mine, but my husband's.It is like this song goes back and forth when he and I are talking to each other some days. Some of the terrifying things he says are forever burned in my heart. I fight so hard to bring him up. I wont abandon him. He drags me down with him some days. I gave my heart to him. Him: Search for the answers I knew all along I lost myself. Me: We all fall down Him: Never the wiser of what I've become Alone I stand, a broken man All I have is one last chance Me: I won't turn my back on you Take my hand, drag me down If you fall then I will too And I can't save what's left of you Sing something new Him: I have nothing left I can't face the dark without you There's nothing left to lose The fight never ends I can't face the dark without you Me: Swallow me under and pull me apart I understand, there's nothing left Pain so familiar and close to the heart No more, no less, I won't forget Come back down, save yourself Him: I can't find my way to you And I can't bear to face the truth Sing something new Me: I have nothing left I can't face the dark without you There's nothing left to lose The fight never ends I can't face the dark without you I wanted to forgive I'm trying to forget Don't leave me here again I am with you forever, the end Him: Sing something new I have nothing left I can't face the dark without you There's nothing left to lose The fight never ends I can't face the dark without you Me: Holding the hand that holds me down... I forgive you, forget you, the end Holding the hand that holds me down... I forgive you, forget you, the end |

| Bastille – Bad Blood Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| For me, this song brings up a friendship I had. We were the closest friends. Best Friends. Sisters even, for over 10 years. I was in an abusive relationship at the time and she did all she could to help me get out of it. When I was finally free of him I was a better person. Her and I were happy that I finally didn't have that fear. Well, it turns out she was in love with me and she had hidden it from me. So when I started dating another guy several months after my break up she got jealous and nasty. Some of our other friends tried to help us and others did what they could to keep us apart. We both made attempts to salvage our friendship, but I could see she was hurt that I wasn't in love with her. I wanted our friendship the way it was. She wanted more. So she started ignoring me for other friends and saying nasty things about my boyfriend (now husband of 3 years). So I let her have it. Some say that was the wrong thing to do, others say the friendship was already gone. I miss the friend she used to be to me when we were growing up. There is a hole in my heart on where I held her. It has been 5 years since we've spoken. I wish her nothing but the best. I would still help her if she ever came to me. I still am close to her mother and father. So I get updates on her once in a while, I'm glad to know she is doing well. | |

I see the broken heart and the addiction meanings to this. This song related to me as an abusive relationship. It's like two people talking. One is trying to leave the relationship, be free of the abuse, The other is trying to keep them, manipulating them to stay. Person One "It's cold it's hard and I'm locked inside this.(This being a bad relationship or literally inside a house or something) I've gone too far I can't rectify this (They can't explain why they put up with the abuse for so long, they feel weak) I walk away falling into" (They try to leave but they keep going back) Person Two "It's such a shame, how I'll miss you. I feel shot can you reach me?" (They are trying to make person one feel bad and pulling the strings they know to get them to stay) Person One "You cannot bring me back (Fighting to leave) And I'll always sink into nothing (Falling for Person Two's lies) And I'm on my knees again (Begging for forgiveness on something they didn't do) And I can't believe that it's always Under my skin" (They hate that they can't seem to pull away. Addicted in away, feels like they can't function without the other person) Person Two "Don't leave me out, leave me hanging" Person One "Don't keep me down, down and dragging. You're so sure that I won't splinter. You're so good, you're so good." Person Two "Shift time to come back in line" (It's like "Stop this non-sense, behave how your supposed to") Person One "'Cause when I tried to embrace my life, Gonna dry up, was it something you're fed?" (Wants to get away, be free of the "poison"/lies they are being fed by person two, fix themselves) Person Two "Got you sickened was it something I said?" All it did was rain (The sun never shines in a relationship like this) |

| Red – Pieces Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| My husband, then boyfriend, and I met as a long distance relationship. We were literally 1000 miles away from each other. When we first met face to face, after 6 months of chatting, it was love at first site. Then when I had to go back home after a week, it was sad with out him. I was able to stay with him for 2 months the next trip since it was summer and I was signed up for my fall term in college. About a week after I left that time he sent me this song. He let me know just how much it pained him to not have me in his life. I made life worth living since he was battling depression, he said he felt complete with me just being in his line of sight. He asked me to be with him once I finished my degree. So I got my AA and he came to me and he drove the moving truck with me and all my belongings to his house. I am the happiest I have been. We fit together in every way and I thank God (and WoW) for bringing us together when we lived 1000 miles away from each other. | |
