Three Days Grace – Animal I Have Become Lyrics 18 years ago
Making it fit to MY own situation:
I can’t escape this hell
So many times I’ve tried
But I’m still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself

To me this is about two things, feeling that you can't be yourself and knowing that you can't let the true you come out. I have a lot of rage built up inside me, every day I come withing seconds of jumping on someone full force for no particular reason other than that that person annoyed you a little.


So what if you can see
The darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe
It’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

This is about wanting to let it out and acknowledging this is who I am but whilst you are realizing this you realize you need help to tame yourself

I can’t escape myself
So many times I’ve lied
But there’s still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself

This part is about lying to yourself and others saying it's over, it's a thing of the past and it is also the inner thoughts of a person thinking that I really can't control myself, one day I'll overflow.


Help me believe
It’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

Goes together with the last bit, you really feel you need help to get away from it and you want to think it's not the real you. The rest of the song basically just imposes the idea that the person has truely realized who they are and they both want to break out and want help to restrain themselves. This really hits home personally with me, there are so many times I just want to go insane but I'm caught in my own mind.

In Flames – Dial 595-Escape Lyrics 20 years ago
I think its about relationships.

"Heal my wounds with everything
Away you complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last times
My least favourite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in grey "

She complicates him, makes things harder, then she drops him I guess and its "My least favourite re-run" and then hes "Sick of cycles, I bounce in grey"

Disturbed – Deify Lyrics 20 years ago
"Analyst : "That's what, I beleive got him re-elected is the people knew they could beleive what he said"

That to me is a key part of this song, if you think a bit about this and then look at :
"All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me."

To me atleast it seems its all about how president Bush has mislead the people of America and the rest of the song is about him telling everyone that he will not rest until Bush is gone. "I wont let them deify you" is basically him saying I wont let the people of america act as if you are a god or a messiah, when all he is doing is lying to them all.

Thats my 2 cents anyway

Social Distortion – Reach for the Sky Lyrics 20 years ago
When I was young I was invincible,
I found myself not thinking twice,
I never thought about no future,
it's just the roll of the dice,

starts the song off by telling everyone how he felt before he went to prison. How he felt he was invincible and couldnt get hurt by anything.

But the day may come,
When you've got something to lose,
And just when you think you're done paying dues,
When you say to yourself
Dear god, what have I done?
I hope it's not too late because tomorrow,

Then he realizes that he has been stupid (I don't know why he was put in prison but I suspect this is what he is talking about) He says "And just when you think your done paying dues" Is sort of his way of saying that he thought he had gotten everything straight. He thought he had paid all his dues. Then he finds out that his past is haunting him. Also he says "and the day may come when you\ve got something to lose" I'm guessing this is his way of referring to his girlfriend, saying that he had never done any of this if he had known what would be taken away from him.

Yesterday is history,
And tomorrow's a mystery,
But being here right now,
It's just about you and me,

He is just happy about beiing set free from prison and wants to let go of the past.

You can run, you can hide,
Just like Bonnie and Clyde,
Reach for the sky,
Ain't never gonna die,
And I thank the lord for the love that I have found,
And hold you tight 'cus tomorrow,

"You can run you can hide" I think is his way of saying that you can run away from your past, but eventually it will catch up to you

The rest I agree with e-double, just advice.

In Flames – Dawn Of A New Day Lyrics 21 years ago
"The thoughts from yesterday - forgotten.
I like the way this new skin feels
Bring me splinters of tomorrow
Collect the parts where I win "

I think he is talking about a new life (new skin), a life where he actually succeeds in something (Collect the parts where i win)

"Against the grain
Against the odds
I’ll rise and I won’t trip again
The dawn of a new day
Never looked as good as this "

I think he is talking about his hopes that people will trust in him, though it is really tough for him to do all the new things he has to (against the grain, against the odds) And talking about how he wont make his own mistakes again ( I`ll rise and i wont trip again)

Concrete breath and dust filled tears
A one-way ride to inner peace
I never thought I’d join the others
Those who use the dice to solve

I think he is talking about finally having found something to believe in, and finally finding inner peace.

Against the grain
Against the odds
I’ll rise and I won’t trip again
The dawn of a new day
Never looked as good as this

I think he is talking about how his life finally looks good, and how he is finally to a certain extent happy.
