| P.O.D. – This Time Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| To me this song is about a couple ending their relationship and mutually parting ways, but still knowing that they really care about each other. The problem was that they realized that there was something greater out there in the world for them and based upon both their life's situation at that time, they knew they couldn't be together. They had to "find themselves"; understand their true identity first and come to love that before they could love and care for anyone else. ... the bittersweet part is that these two people have been waiting for so long to find someone like each other. But the hope that emanates ... found in this line: "Wanting more has got me waiting, This time for love" ... to me it means that they both realize that love is out there. The greatest love of all, is what they're patiently waiting to remember once again. | |
| Jewel – You Were Meant For Me Lyrics | 20 years ago |

I think we can all agree that this is a break-up song right? And most people wouldn't really care about the lyrics unless they're in that situation and or almost getting over it. Thus, let me wallow in nostalgic recollections for a tiny bit: 'I break the yolks and make a smiley face' ~ We used to eat yolky eggs at the weirdest times (like 11pm), and we weren't allowed to use utensils. 'Saw a movie it just wasn't the same 'Cause it was happy and I was sad It made me miss you oh so bad' ~ Tough to think that a good, happy movie can make you miss the person even more. I think it's perfectly sensible though, esp. if you've shared only good times with that person and realize, he's not there for this one. 'I try and tell myself it'll be all right I just shouldn't think anymore tonight' - I guess when someone like her (me) is still at the very beginning of the break-up, your head knows you'll be just fine but your heart won't agree. And finally- the mots important lines: 'Dreams last so long Even after you're gone I know, that you love me' ~ Whether or not you'll ever get back together with the person, you know even when it's been many months, 2 years, etc. you'll still think about what you had. And when the person admits he/she still loves you, tha'ts the worse. But because of that, you still cling on... not making it apparent, but silently hoping. |

| Norah Jones – Feelin' The Same Way Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Feelin' the same way all over again Singin' the same lines all over again No matter how much I pretend. Maybe she's been hurt previously in relationships, and just got out of a bad one. She remember the pain and regret, and she's hesitant about starting something new again. She doesn't want to suffer through that pain again. But... she's feelin' it all over again, the same butterflies and giddiness whenever she sees that other person, and cannot wait to be with that person again. No matter how much she pretends. She's falling in love all over again... |

| Tracy Chapman – If Not Now Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
It's beautiful. I like this part: Now love's the only thing that's free We must take it where it's found I just watched that new Pocohantas movie- "The New World" and Smith as a line in it: "Love. If love is given to you, what can we do but take it? Love. That is all there is." What if someone gives you all their love, hopes, and believes that one day you'll return again. One day... but how long can one wait? What if one day, maybe one day it'll be "good as gone." |

| Dido – I'm No Angel Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Maybe she's used to getting what she wants, maybe she's used to more attention, from more than one interested individual. She knows she doesn't need this one person to fawn over her, because she has others. At the same time however, even though she's tried to leave many times ... she realizes she cares more for him/her, and she's really not ready yet to leave it completely behind. "m no angel, but please don't think I won't try and try" --> She knows she's not perfect, never was, and probably never will be but she'll continue to strive to be better, she'll try her hardest to gain the other person's trust back. "I'm no angel, but please don't think that I can't cry," --> And I think this means that although she knows she's not perfect, she f*cks up, she is still regretful about having done that which pains the person, and it hurts her too. She's vulnerable, and probably just confused in the end. | |
| Natalie Merchant – My Skin Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| when you love with your hands and love with your body, you give it your all. your worth and your being encrested into one single instrument of life. then the promises are broken and you don't know wha to think. you look at yourself and nothing seems to make sense anymore. you're on the brink of non-existence. reality as you knew it ceases and nothing seems true anymore.. you are wilting, you are dying away. | |
| Zero 7 – In The Waiting Line Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| monotony of life... blah blah blah. yeah we get it already. i want to know what's wrong with people referring to it with the garden state movie. the song lyrics are open to interpretation~ regardless of what context it's played in. so what's the "garden state crap" all about? | |

| Basement Jaxx – Where's Your Head At Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Soooo... what do you guys actually think this song MEANS? maybe i just look into things too much but after watching the video and then reading the lyrics, it's freakin' spooooky (but cool :o), it seems like it's about human domination over the natural world. like, we try to take over with corporations (pop music) 'cuz we think we're all so superior but in evolutionary science, the apes/monkey form came first. we can't escape what was first created and thus we can't get away clean by destroying the environment and harming our wildlife. | |

| Mariah Carey – All I Want For Christmas Is You Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| she's got the guts and talent to make it big. maybe she's sold her soul to the music/media corporations o_O... but hell, that's what SHE wants. it doesn't make her amazing vocal talents any worse. | |
| TV on the Radio – Staring At The Sun Lyrics | 21 years ago |

also, its downplaying material possessions and an individual's facade in societey: "more to mine than fact face name and monetary " + it's like, everything is everything else: standing in the sun, staring at the sea (typically, the words "standing" and "staring" should be interchanged in most cases), but at the same time "your body's over me." |

| TV on the Radio – Staring At The Sun Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| wow. these are all really interesting insights guys! regardless of whatever the meaning of this song is, it totally captivates me whenever i listen to it. it's not JUST the lyrics but the way they blend their voices and the percussions (electronic beats?) in the background~ it's all surreal and speaking to the subconscious. i wanna look into the band... however, i did hear their latest album was a disappointment :-\. | |
| The Stills – Lola Stars and Stripes Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| heavens my butt. the beauty of song lyrics or any form of lyrical speech is the openess of interpretation- the element of ambiguity. if the stills really wanted their song to solely represent ultra-liberal views on post 911 America, they would become political enthusiasts through their songs. but their songs are not all about the state of a nation nor do all of their songs carry across political innuendo's. i agree that this song emphasizes the imperialistic greeds of the America nation- if you watch the video for this song, you'll see all the band members walking around in NYC with digitalized (animations) of explosions all over -- think, just like 911. the m16, "chemical blast", the stars... all point to America's pro-war antics & how it relates to the America ideology of freedome and peace. yet, at the same time, i could see how the lyrics can be about a failing/failed relationship. like, who could Lola be? can chemical blast also be a biologically-related emotion and feeling in us? "you always said the world would never last" <-- couldn't that also mean the world which a couple in a relationship make, not last? it's definitely good to piece together the obvious evidence/facts, but on a literary level, it could always mean to much more. no one should ever take away one's curiousity to look deeper, to contemplate on all the possibilities. | |

| is this supposed to be a 'dark and dismal' song? i like it. yt another break-up song ... or is it? | |
| Jem – 24 Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
for me, it's a break-up song. she's madly in love with someone but he(she) ends up breaking her heart and rejecting her love. if you've ever been in love before and then utterly dumped (while YOU are still in love)- it feels like... well.. like you're dying. you've been in a relationship for a few months, a yr, a few yrs - giving it your all and then it ends: "And I can’t believe How I’ve been wasting my time " <-- it's like her thinking: i should've never started this in the first place |
