| Keane – A Bad Dream Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
while i see the soldier / pilot part and its been explained thats the intended meaning; when i first heard / read / thought about it to me it was about an eldery man who is getting tired of living and struggling with old age and loss of all his freinds & being alone. and the bad dream is during his struggle to get through every day to find his wife is not there to share the end of his life with him, making him too tired to fight. |

| Tom Petty – Free Fallin' Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I think this song is simply reminiscing about being a kid in Reseda, thinking about when he and his boys ran around town, were young & free, drove around and broke hearts.. the line "there's a freeway runnin' through the yard" is accurate because in Reseda, alot of houses are so close to the freeway..its literally like a freeway is in the yard...and Ventura and Mulholland are btoh exits near Reseda.. if you are from the LA area especially Burbank/Reseda this song is very nostalgic. or so my dad (whose from Reseda) says. I think that tom petty & the Heart Breakers is the official band for dad's+kids to listen to and rock out together. |

When i first heard this song, it wasn't actually this version, it was a re-mix by a DJ called Super T from hyf.com...i actually like it better than the original version so if you don't really like this kind of music maybe you'll like that one better. This is definatly one of my favortie songs of all time...found it when my long distance bf and i were together and i thought it made perfect sense and was about everything that I felt, then we broke up, and i still felt the same way about the song...it all still made sense and was eveyrthing i felt, but in a differnt way. but anyways, though the song does say 'distance' and etc it doesn't just have to be physical distance, that's my take on it at least. |

| Vanessa Carlton – Half a Week Before the Winter Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
This song is absolutely amazing. I don't know why but ever since i first heard this song i thought it was about her dad. it made me think of a dad working all day, and she's a child that loves when he's around, but he's almost never there. "Half a week before the winter The chill bites before it comes And I'm a child of the pleasure That he brings before he runs " It sounds like this is while everything is still good, but she knows that bad things are coming, like their relationship will turn sour, and she's just appreciating what they have though she knows he'll leave/doesn't have enough time for her. "He sits behind a desk of mahogany" This is what really made me feel like it was about her dad/a father figure. Someone working behind the desk all day, trying to make money for the family etc. "He whispers dreams into my ear Thought I've given him his empire He delivers me my fear " He tells her that he'll be there for her, and all these things. She gave him his 'empire' cuz shes his little girl, and he orignaly started workign for her. "He deliver me my fear" He's a serious person, and he scares her, even though she feels like she gave him all she could. "The unicorns are riding high Powerful in coats of white I turn to look but burn my eyes I carry on, I carry. . . " Vanessarox is right, the unicorns represent Vannessa's childhood and innocence. Shes a little girl and is happy and naive, but now that Vanessa looks back, she realizes it wasnt that happy, maybe because her lack of a relatinoship with her father, but she's strong so she just carrys on.. "All the weight of empty promise As I stand swallowed by the light Flickering above the highway " The dreams, that her dad had whispered in her ear, and his promises of being there, but he just can't be because of work, and keeps on breaking his promises to be there for her. "The vampires are growing tired The coats of white all turn to red My heart burns with desire I carry on, I carry on " Her child hood is no longer so innocent, her father's absence has caused her to grow up and hurts her, the unicorns are no longer free and wild, but they are turning red and the vampires, another fantasical creature, are starting to fade also. It seems like when she says "my heart burns with desire" she's talking about the longing for attention/her dad's time. So it hurts, but she carrys on, and doesn't look back because it hurts. I don't know , this is just what the song means to me, I'm sure its totally wrong, but that's what i got from it. Well whatever it means, its still beautiful. |
