| Nickelback – How You Remind Me Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| If you watch the video, the girlfriend/wife is very bad to him but whenever she's in the picture, the video is in color, and when she is not, it is in black and white. Signifying that he feels alive only when she is around...He knows how bad she is for him, and how bad he makes her feel, but whenever she's around he just...the color is back in his life. In the end of the video, he is able to push her away and still have the color. It's about being addicted to someone who is horrible for you and ending up getting the strength to shove them out of your life whilst realizing that it still has color and purpose without them. | |
| Bring Me the Horizon – Sleepwalking Lyrics | 11 years ago |

Could be very wrong about this, but music is different to everyone. I believe this song is to be about derealization/schizophrenia. Lyrics: My secrets are burning a hole through my heart And my bones catch a fever When it cuts you up this deep It's hard to find a way to breathe (This part to me means that the person is having an extremely hard time with life, whether it be regarding depression or something else. They're having to hide this hardship and it's destroying their entire being, so they're self medicating in a way- hence 'when it cuts you up this deep, its hard to find a way to breathe') Your eyes are swallowing me Mirrors start to whisper Shadows start to see My skin's smothering me Help me find a way to breathe (They do drugs or whatever else it is to numb their pain, which makes them go crazy. 'Your eyes are swallowing me'- people with derealization cannot look at people in the face or eyes too long before their faces become morphed. 'Mirrors start to whisper, shadows start to sing'- they're going crazy, hearing and seeing things. 'My skins smothering me'- They feel they cannot escape from themselves.) Time stood still The way it did before It's like I'm sleepwalking Fell into another hole again It's like I'm sleepwalking (The first two lines are saying that when you have a bad trip on drugs, time can seem like it is not moving or going any faster, your time and space perception is completely off. When you have derealization this continues to happen- hence- 'the way it did before'. 'It's like I'm sleepwalking'- they don't feel real. They feel they are living in a dream. 'Fell into another hole again, it's like I'm sleepwalking'- Kind of an Alice In Wonderland-ish reference here to me. You fall down the rabbit hole and your whole world is confusing and new and unfamiliar- and frightening. Just like derealization.) I'm at the edge of the world Where do I go from here? Do I disappear? Edge of the world Should I sink or swim? Or simply disappear? (The person's disorder has left them stuck. They don't know what to do from here. The continuous references to disappearing means that they do not feel real anyway, so should they continue on, or simply disappear?) *Skipping the parts I already interpreted* Wake up! Take my hand and Give me a reason to start again Wake up! Pull me out and Give me a reason to start again (I feel like this is a battle between the person and their mind. Half of their mind is telling them to wake up from this shit hole they're in, but the other half is asking them to give them a reason to even try, and begging for help to pull themselves out of this situation they're in.) So yeah, this is just my interpretation of it, being a person who has dealt with these things. There are a wide variety of things this song could be about- just thought my answer was kind of interesting. |
