Drake – Karaoke Lyrics 15 years ago
The last lines mean that He wasn't trying to make her feel useless, he wasn't trying to make her feel like she wasn't important or good enough. He was only trying to get ahead.
But the speed of his climb was too fast, it made her nervous, scared. She started doubting herself. She felt like she had no purpose. Like she was just there. Like it didn't matter. She needed a purpose and didn't see it anymore in him.

I'm going through something similar to this.

Isn't it ironic that the only girl I ever want to marry is a nurse.
And says we couldn't heal it no matter how much that it hurtz
I wish I was a poet so I could say the right verse
But I'm still young and foolish so like a child I curse.
And now she's running faster because I am the worst.

Nas – N.I.G.G.E.R. (The Slave and the Master) Lyrics 17 years ago
"Man this history don't acknowledge us,
We was scholars long before colleges."

This song is soooo deep, the first time I heard it I felt a very deep sorrow. It's amazing that going through school at an majority "black" school in elementary I learned so much about European history but barely breezed over the history of Africa, or Egypt.

"But still we choose to ignore,
The obvious."

We choose to ignore we come from great people, that they were kings and queens, making us a sort of royalty, Still I go outside and I see African Americans on the corners selling themselves cheap. staying at home not becoming anything, we have so much potential as a People. It's not just other races that are pushing the divide between black and white, Somehow Somewhere we started doing the same. We are all one people, human, yet we choose to ignore it...


We are the slave and the master,
What you looking for?
You the question and the answer.

We were freed by the government, only to imprison ourselves. Did we become so comfortable with being inferior that when given the chance, the control to change it, we instead forced ourselves to assume the role of inferior?

The question is who are we? What is an African American, What is being black. It was a title of inferiority. Yet the fact is now we have the power to change the answer. Lets make it something proud. The question is "Who are you?" And the answer is what we make it.

The first chorus in this completely describes the neighborhood I grew up in. Where shoes hung from telephone poles and the fastest way to cool off was a Hydrant party.



Which of these facts will we carry?
Ancestry of slaves, or Descendant of Kings


All I'm saying is that though it has been outlawed, from my viewpoint, not much changed and It's because of us now, Take some responsibility and lets change the world.

Donnell Jones – Where I Wanna Be Lyrics 17 years ago
This song speaks for itself...
I'm going through something like this right now and its like, it's like how do you do the right thing, she wants you but You know it can't be. You know it's not right to be treated badly or treat her bad... but your heart loves her... it wants to stay despite reality... It doesn't want to hurt her by leaving. But it's the best path to take. So confusing.

This song really is awesome though. It's about how we can follow a path to become more beast-like. And how addicting it can become I think.

Abingdon Boys School – Howling Lyrics 17 years ago
A night sky full of cries
Hearts filled with lies
The contract - is it worth the price?
A soul pledged to the darkness
Now I've lost it
I know I can kill


"THE TRUTH IS JUST BEYOND THE GATES"

So tired of sites getting this wrong :(

Paramore – Let the Flames Begin Lyrics 18 years ago
What a shame
We all became such fragile, broken things
A memory remains just a tiny spark
I give it all my oxygen
To let the flames begin
So let the flames begin


What a shame we got the F'ed up end of the stick.
and It greatly effected us, we aren't the normal,
we're the ones the world is afraid to face because
then the world would have to face the flaws that made
us who we are. Everyone would much rather extinguish the
voice of the abused, the raped, molested, hurt, poor, dying, handicap. "I'll give it all my oxygen" = I'll die before I give up/be forgotten.

"Somewhere weakness is our strength
And I'll die searching for it"

But we can't let that stop us, we might have started off broken... different
but that difference didn't stop us, so we use the pain of our past... the weakness
within us... to make us stronger.

"I can't let myself regret such selfishness
My pain and all the trouble caused
No matter how long
I believe that there's hope"

The world would have you forget and move on... how selfish it is to just throw away all the painful experinces of your past. Those experinces can be used to motivate you, to help others, to show others ...light.

So no matter what happens, we, who've already felt pain can withstand it, and it wont stop us from dancing, you can burn down our houses, but we dont live there anymore.

John Mayer – Dreaming With A Broken Heart Lyrics 18 years ago
"with roses in my hand"

>_< When I first heard this song I almost broke...,
this whole song is just... just so true. and it's not fair really, but it's life, and we MUST believe that all gets better, even if she/he is gone gone gone gone...

Once you cross the line there's no use looking back behind you, because what's gone is gone... and there's nothing you can do about it, even if you are willing to "fall asleep with roses in your hand", cutting and bleeding you dry in order to get him/her back... it's useless, it's too late. it's gone.

Fort Minor – Slip Out The Back Lyrics 19 years ago
bare with me and listen to my full arguement before flaming ^_^.


This song is about a dude having anal sex with his sleeping girlfriend.

Slip out the back before they know you were there
(he stops before she wakes up)

And at the worst you'll see nobody cares
~(cause he stops she doesn't know/care)

Cause you don't wanna be around when it all goes down Even heroes know when to be scared.
~(cause a girl will KILL you for that kinda stuff, even hero's know this >_>)


You remember how it was, you know
All I ever did was worry, feeling out of control
(when they'd make love he was too worried so he felt out of control , when she's sleep he has all the control :P)
To the point where everything was going end over end
I'm spinning around in circles again
(um, he's reached his peak...)
This is where you come in
~(he can't reach his peak without her)

All of this to explain to you why I had to
Separate myself away from yesterday's life
~(yesterdays life of doing i during the daytime!)


Please remember, this isn't how I hoped it would be
But I had to protect you from me.
~(I'm wild and u dont need to wake up)
~( ;_; so romantic.)

Yoko Kanno – No Reply Lyrics 19 years ago
This song is so beautiful, and so strong. To me its about a guy who thinks less of himself, who has messed up so many times, caused the one he cares about so much pain that she left. He doesn't understand why he does what he does, but he knows that she is very important. He's become the mask he put on to hide his secrets and the only "truth" he knows is her. So he seeks for her, but she's gone. He confesses how much he feels about her appriciates her, but she's not there to hear it.

I love how the stronger/more important the words are, the faster/more dramatic the melody becomes and the whole song seems to peak at "I say thank you". Even right now this song makes my eyes wet thinking about the best friend I've ever had...

thank you Kimberly.

Lupe Fiasco – Kick Push Lyrics 19 years ago
This song is great, though he litterally focuses on "skating" its about much more than that.

As he says in his dedication in the beginning " I dedicate this one right here to all my homies grinding, legally and illegally".

Its about making it in life, the "hustle" of life.

"First got it when he was six didn’t know any tricks
Matter fact, first time he got on it he slipped
Landed on his hip and busted his lip
For a week he had to talk with a lisp like thisssss
Now we can end the story right here "

Whe we start anything, we are new to it, dont know anything and usually end up "falling down". (first love, skating, anything). Now we have the choice to say "I quit" and "I can't skate" or "I can't draw", "I hate relationships" right here and never dust ourselves off and try again.

But if we have motivation, a goal, even if we can't finger it, you usually get back on the board/stand up.

"Since the first kick flip he landed
Labeled a misfit a bandit "

Once we finally succeed, other people are jelous and envious and label you, no matter what it is; "whipped, nerd, jock, pusher, etc"

"His name was couldn’t stand it
So he was banished to the park
Started in the morning
Wouldn’t stop till after dark "

once people can see you're getting good at something that they aren't they hate and dont want you around them. so even though those around him hated on his skating skills he didn't let it stop him. Even though people say they dont want to hear you "rapping" dont stop, even though you can't be the best at something around some people, doesn't mean you should give up.

"Yea when they said its getting late in here
So I’m sorry young man, there’s no skating here"

I think this verse represents the hurdles in life, all the problems that try to stop us from movin on, from achieving our goals, being happy, making it.

The Chorus says that this kid/those strong enough dont/didn't give up and kept/keep moving on, past the hurdles and problems. Looking for a place to fit in, in a world full of followers.


The rest of the song continues along those lines I think.

oh and the longer they skate the stronger they become, until there literally isn't any place they can't go. (or metaphorically, there isn't anything that can hold them down)

Nickelback – Savin' Me Lyrics 19 years ago
What this song means to me... If the sucide thing is correct, then I actually "feel" the singer... Call me good call me bad idc but yeah whatever.

back story:

my life was hell and I thought I was worthless, then came her. we helped each other out of hell, but she got out first.I fell in love with her, she couldn't find more than just a "most special friend" for me. She got out of hell, but I was still there... and now in love with her.

how that relates:

"Prison gates won’t open up for me
On these hands and knees I’m crawlin’
Oh, I reach for you"

I can't get out of this hell on my own, and I'm down to my last breath, on my knees... I need you, my friend..."

"Well I’m terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can’t hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I’m callin"
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I’m fallin’

I'm terrified of being in this hell any longer, I can't bare this situation anymore and will do anything to get out. you give me strength, courage, meaning, I need you. you said we'd make it out... but I am starting to think i wont, I can't stay here, I'd rather die. Hurry and show me a way out, I'm callin.

"Heaven’s gates won’t open up for me
With these broken wings I’m fallin’
And all I see is you"

You told me to fly, to be strong but Heaven wont allow me access, Heaven wont let me in, it wont let me be free, my wings are broken... but you could carry me, you could get me there, you could save me.. heal my wings...

These city walls ain’t got no love for me
I’m on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you
Come please I’m callin’
And all I need from you
Hurry I’m fallin’

Noone else gives a dam what happens to me, its so cold here and If I'm not worth anything then life isn't worth living. But you cared, you helped me so many times before...save me please, say I matter, say you care, Say I can do it, Say you see me. Say I can be an Angel, Say you love me... if I'm worth savin' you're voice would be enough to strengthin me.


"Show me what it’s like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I’ll show you what I can be"

Show me what its like to matter (to not be invisible to everyone else) and teach me how to be strong. And I'll show you how strong I can be. teach me to fly and I'll show you how high i can go. I'll show you how much I care for you.

"Say it for me
Say it to me
And I’ll leave this life behind me
Say it if it’s worth saving me"

I'm willing to change my life if I had a reason, say it , say I matter to you, that you care, that you love me too. say it for me and I'll turn around from this path... if not then noone cares and i'm fallin.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kim, thanks for being my wings, I understand that you couldn't find the love i felt for you, in your heart also, But thanks for saying I matters, that you cared. Thanks for keeping me here a little longer so that I could develop my own wings and become strong without you. Thanks for not leaving me in hell.

Oh and btw, yeah she is talking about being happy, but to her, death is the ultimate happiness (same with spike after julia dies)

Yoko Kanno – Blue Lyrics 20 years ago
Lol I love all cowboy bebop songs and will tell ya what I think of it

I think this song is about the time after julia dies, till the end of the show
now this song is for the ending of cowboy bebop! keep that in mind
now, blue, is a color of cool, laid back, and also the color of sorrow "are you feeling blue? " keep that in mind too

"Never seen a bluer sky
Yeah I can feel it reaching out
and moving closer
There's something 'bout blue"

There never was a more perfect time, and I can feel the time getting closer... there's something bout blue, something bout what she/he is bout to do"

Asked myself what it's all for
You know the funny thing about it
I couldn't answer
No, I couldn't answer

I've done this many times, Ask yourself why live? whats the point of it all, what is it all for, again this would imply that she (the singer) is depressed, sad, blue. But she is unable to come up with a anwser, and its "ironic" kinda funny, the poetic type... maybe if she could just figure it out.... but she can't anwser...

Things have turned a deeper shade of blue
and images that might be real
may be illusion
Keep flashing off and on

Things have gotten more "blue" more sad, more free. (Julia dies, spike's old friends die, things basically get alot more complicated).
"Images that might be real may be illusions, keep flashing off and on."
Vicious's butterfly's could the what these images represent, or Spike's flashbacks, or Faye's flashbacks,

Free...
Wanna be free, Gonna be free
and move among the stars
You know they really aren't so far

She (the singer) or spike wants to be free from it all, wants to be among the stars, in heaven, basically doesn't want to live anymore. when she says "you know they really aren't so far" when you are depressed, you start to weight being dead with being alive, and when your down enough, it seems that there wouldn't be much difference. "it wouldn't matter if i died"... so she's saying that death isn't so far from living.

Feels so free...
Gotta know free... Please...

She's made up her mind to be free, to be free from all the stuff she has to deal with in life, all the pain, all the restrictions, all the lies... or in spike's case, living without Julia.

Remember all the stuff he survives when julia is alive, being blown out of an apartment, etc, well thats because he wants to live, but when julia dies... he doesn't he just wants to be free from it all. I think that when julia was alive, he was "free" with her, and now that she's dead, he wants to be "free" with her still...

Don't wake me from the dream
It's really everything it seemed

Shes fading (the singer) or spike... and things are becoming so much more "free", and so the singer/spike dont want you to try to save them, they want to die and be let go from the worries of life... this is why I believe spike didn't tell tank or faye to come with him. He didn't want to live through it.

I'm so free...
No black and white in the blue

There are no extremes in the blue, in death you don't have to worry bout good or evil, right and wrong, you are freed from all of this... or better put, all are equal in death. Also, death/freedom doesn't care how good or bad, rich or poor you are, its the ultimate equalizer

Everything is clearer now
Life is just a dream, you know
that's never ending
I'm ascending

Now she/spike understands it all, now that she(the singer) / spike are bout to die, they "get it". Life is just what you make of it you know, and it really doesn't matter, this is kinda the whole theme of the laid-back amine of Cowboy bebop... kinda like the song "dont matter none".

I'm Ascending.... I'm being freed, birds "ascend" I'm being let go of my chains, in spike's case, his chains of life... and so he dies...


All in all, I love this song, its real in a lot of ways and unreal too, just depends on your mood, I wish I could understand the chant at the beginning of the song, but I'm sure its a funeral chant or something...

Linkin Park – Carousel Lyrics 21 years ago
She can't hide no matter how hard she tries
Her secret disguise behind her lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight staring at her inside
All her friends know why she can't sleep at night
All her family asking if she’s all right
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell
Well all she's gotta do is stop kidding herself


This part is definatly about rape, anyone who knows, i mean really knows by friend or themselves knows can easily see this. Girl's trying to move on, but no matter how hard she tries
the dreams, the nightmares still come, and she still cries at night. She can't let anyone know, they wouldn't understand, so she wears a "i'm okay" disguise. She stares at herself, trying to decide her worth. All her friends know whats going on/happenend, all her family ask if she's alright, and all she does is lie to them saying " yeah, sure" instead of letting it out, stopping the cycle. all she wants to do is get rid of the pain, but she can't as long as she keeps it locked up inside.

(and thats not first hand knownledge, but second hand, from many friends i've got...)


She can only fool herself for so long X4

Here its like she can only convice herself for so long that theres nothing wrong, or that it never happened, or that its not so bad, because thats what she does to hide the pain, but after awhile, she realizes that thats a lie too.

I'm too weak to face me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me

I'm too weak to face up to the lies i've convinced myself of, so i just run, from myself, but why...


When it comes to how to live his life
He can't be told
Says he's got it all under control
Thinks he knows it's not a problem he’s stuck with
But in reality, it'd be a problem to just quit
An addict and he can't hold the reigns
The pain is worse cause his friends have it the same
Tries to slow down the problem he's got
But can't get off the carousel
Until he makes it stop

This is about Addiction, to anything, for me, its to love or depression,
but like the guy, i'm like " its not a problem, i've got it all planned"
but in reality for me, it'd be a problem to just quit being depressed, or crazy bout someone who's lost their love for me, and i can't control it, can't hold the reigns, so i find myself
giving in more and more. friends are the same, so that doesn't help. try to fix things
but it doesn't stop till you make it stop. (has made it stop btw, and life's so much more worth living)

Try to fly with the wings I gave you
Try to do what you believe and I'll save you
Try to fly with the wings I gave you
Try to do what you believe and I'll save you

Try again to quit, with the love and confidence i've given you,
Do what you believe in, and i'm there for you, I'll carry you the rest
of the way if you can only make so many steps... yeah
i feel that way about a friend, if she just trys to believe in what I've told her.

words are the wings in that lyrics, try again with the hope i've gave you.
Do what you believe, and I'll save you.

thats what that songs all about.
