| Trespassers William – Different Stars Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
To me, this song is the ultimate song about unrequited love. The person singing is, after all this time, still yearning for that loved one, even though he or she does not feel the same way or no longer does. "the weight it must be light wherever you are." Unlike you, that person feels no burden, has no heavy heart over all of this, while you suffer the burden of still loving he/she regardless. At this time, things have either gone so bad or you have waited so long that all that you say now is nothing to that person. In the end, you are left to hum this sad tune by yourself, in utter resignation. In the end, you accept that you two are simply on different paths, under different stars. Despite the fact that listening to this song is like sticking a hot poker into an open wound for me, I cant help but listen to it repeatedly. Besides the awesome lyrics, the mellow yet solemn tone of the singer's voice is just absolutely captivating. Definitely one of the best if the THE best song by them. |

| Long-View – In A Dream Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Long-view’s new song is absolutely amazing, melody-wise and lyrics-wise. In terms of meaning, I think that this song is trying to express the state of mind a guy who wants a girl he either lost or can't have. All the signs he previously thought connected them, like "that look in her eye," is now nothing more than an illusion that he can no longer believe in. Even in his dreams, the one place of escape and fantasy, the thought of her constantly haunts him, pulling him back down and waking him up. Yet when he goes back to sleep, her image is gone. She is but a fleeting image in his mind, flashing long enough to rouse his subconscious but disappearing the next. Perhaps this is a reflection of reality, either because he only saw/knew her for short time. When he tries to maintain some shred of hope, he fails. Upon going back to sleep, he finds no one. This girl once was something he used to find solace in, yet now she has the opposite effect. The thought of her constantly depresses him and even in his dreams, she haunts him. The last three lines just show how even he himself is resigned to this fact. The sheer impossibility of ever being with her is so much so that even in a dream, it is unattainable. At least that’s what I think. By the way, the band has changed their name to Long-View with the hyphen since Longview was already taken. Is there any way to change this on SongMeanings? |
