| Fall Out Boy – G.I.N.A.S.F.S. Lyrics | 17 years ago |

itsfruitcakeweather: "I was PRAISING the band for this. And you have to admit teenagers do say this. I do not find my post rude in the least; nowhere did I say ALL teenagers say these sorts of things." I agree with you, not ALL teens say it, but enough to warrant a complaint. My friends still use the word "gay" pejoratively and it really pisses me off. [/end rant] Even if the title of the song has nothing to do with the lyrics I'm glad that the title has a good message. |

| Jason Mraz – Water Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I absolutely love this song. It's almost like a stream of consciousness. The lyrics are so profound, it's hard to single out which ones are the best because they flow beautifully into each other. Apt title! | |
| The All-American Rejects – Swing, Swing Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I know I'm totally reading too much into this song and twisting the words, but I think that this song is about the singer (male) who is getting over his ex-girlfriend by dabbling in some hot same-sex relations ("swing"ing). :D I'm wrong I know, but it's merely my interpretation. | |
| Jason Mraz – O. Lover Lyrics | 19 years ago |

This song makes me think it's about a homosexual affair, particularly the "I'm getting over all the comments/Unfriendly statements made by people of nonsense". You can picture two guys walking down the street, hand-in-hand, and I don't care how liberal a city you live in, there will always be people who will look down at that with contempt. I don't want to get into a big discussion of Jason's sexual philosophy, but I could see him writing this about another man. Maybe the "I like your red top and matching bottoms" was merely written to throw us off the scent ;) (Personally, I think seeing Jason with another guy would be super hot.) |

| Matchbox Twenty – Kody Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
This song is probably my favourite on YOSLY. My interpretation of the song is a little different than most of the ones written so far. In my mind, this song is about the death of James Dean. This 'Kody' character could be any fan of Dean. When Dean died, many people (especially teens) felt like something inside them died. A few even commited suicide. I wasn't alive when Dean died, but it's understandable how many of them felt. And Kody could of been one of them. And this song is telling a story of his anguish. The first verse could be saying that Kody has arrived at the wreck, eyeing the wreck that was caused by the fatal accident. His idol was dead, but he never got the chance to really know him. And he feels like he's got nothing else to give for. The chorus... well, could mean that he's trying to forget about all his pains at the bottom of a bottle, feeling like there's no one in the world that understands him. But he's still in shock about the crash. The second verse could signify either Kody or Dean. In Dean's case, it's rather simple. With his death, he cannot go home, or walk the earth ever again. In Kody's case, it could mean that his life is totally changed, and he can't find a 'home' anymore. That's why the squeak hinge won't open or close. The last verse may reflect Kody's thoughts. After being forced to accept Dean's death, he doesn't want to have to look at the wreck of the fatal accident anymore. The glass, the twisted metal, the reminder. The only flaw of my theory is that they mention a Cadillac, and not a Porsche. And the last line... well, 'alot of good things die'. It kinda speaks for itself. Dean's stellar career was tragically cut short, and the mourning's still there. Well, that's my interpretation. It's a little lengthly, but it almost works. (Btw I'm a big Dean fan :D) |
