| The Goo Goo Dolls – Name Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| You know, I have a feeling that I hear a totally different meaning to this song than most people would. When I hear it, I think of two people who maybe had issues with their parents or families, and have gone through life without being able to escape a certain level of loneliness. The lyric "we don't belong to no one" makes me want to go out on a limb and say that any friends that they have had are somewhat distant at some level; they're not true friends. It also sounds to me like he is in love with this person (who I assume to be a girl,) but maybe she isn't in love with him. It just sounds like a sad, unrequited love song to me. He just missed the chance to tell her ("even though the moment passed me by, I still can't turn away"). I suppose that the relationship I picture when I hear this song is like Forrest Gump and Jenny. The line "Did you lose yourself somewhere out there , did you get to be a star" really makes me think of Jenny because she tried so hard, but in the end she'd come back to Forrest and tell him everything, only to go back out into the world and start a new chapter of her life without him. Really, the song fits their relationship nearly perfectly. "I won't tell 'em your name" means that he'll keep all of her secrets. | |

Another song that makes me think of my mom... hah! That's sad... But also about lots of other people in my life. It's basically about oppression... I think most of you can figure it out on your own, it's pretty self-explanitory I think. |

| Oh yes, and I think that odd lyric is basically just trying to get across how little sense it all actually makes... or something. | |
| Neurosonic – Are Solar Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| It's kind of hard to put into words what I think about this song... I guess the easiest way to say it is I think it's about the craziness of lust and how it totally controls you until you do something about it, then you realize that what you did was totally superficial and you kind of regret it. You look around you afterwards and see that the person you were just lusting after is just some random person and doesn't mean anything to you... so now you're alone. That's what I get from it, at least :) | |

Good to see more comments on this one than the others :D I loved them to death at Family Values, these guys are gonna go places fast.. (and already have). There's not much else to say about this song that hasn't already been said... I'm just glad someone finally made a song about this kinda shit, hah! |

One of the things I love about their songs is how rarely (if even at all) they use curse words. The wording is always really poetic and just doesn't need it, ya know? This makes me think of my relationship with my ex-bf, everything between us just sort of fell apart with the end of high school. I wished we could have ended things on better terms and stayed friends, but he wouldn't have it... Then again, I would definately say that I was the one that "ran away" in a manner of speaking, so I guess I don't blame him. But I think that above all, we learned a lot from eachother, and also learned what not to do in relationships. All hardships come with valuable lessons, I suppose. |

| HIM – Funeral of Hearts Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I dunno if I have everything right (of course), but here's my interpretation: "She was the sun, Shining upon, The tomb of your hopes, and dreams so frail. He was the moon, Painting you, With its glow so vulnerable and pale." -The girl re-awakened the guy's hopes and dreams that had been broken before by a past love. The guy was the only light in the girl's life, so she made him into something a little better than he was, and it was hard for him to live up to her standards.... (?) "She was the wind, Carrying in, All the troubles and fears, here for years, tried to forget. He was the fire, Restless and wild, And you were like a moth to that flame." -The guy had bad past experience with love, so the girl reminds him of all the bad things in the past relationship. The girl is just completely mesmerized by the guy and doesn't keep a straight head about things. "The heretic seal beyond divine, A prayer to a God who's deaf and blind, The last rites for souls on fire, Three little words and a question why." -They end up having troubles and become depressed and pray to God, who doesn't listen to them or help them out. They no longer understand why they love eachother. "Love's the funeral of hearts, And an ode for cruelty, When angels cry blood on flowers of evil in bloom, The funeral of hearts, And a plea for mercy, When love is the gun separating me from you." -All in all, a love like this is doomed and can't hold up for too long. It only hurts in the end. Eventually, "love" becomes the only thing that puts such a huge wedge between people who say they love eachother and then have troubles like this, because once the romantic factor is gone, the relationship can no longer exist. If the words "I love you" had never been said, they probably would have gotten along fine. This is why "love is a gun separating me from you". BTW it would be much appreciated if ppl wouldn't take up the *SONG MEANING* section with a bunch of bullshit and quarrels, it only takes up space and pisses people off when they read through it TRYING to find an actual interpretation of a song. And for the people who love pissing others off just for the hell of it, I have but two words for your kind: FUCK OFF. |

This song doesn't apply to me entirely, but for the most part it rings so true to how I feel about my current relationship. Matt and I met eachother over the internet, became best friends, and that soon evolved. We always used to be depressed, but now we light eachother up. We're such great friends and every day would be heaven if we could spend it with eachother. The catch is, we live about 1200 miles apart. Neither of us can see eachother but once or twice a year on long holidays.... Every day to me feels like it's wasted waiting, because we can't be together right now. Time is just slowly slipping through the hourglass..... I can't stand just sitting around waiting for my life to begin when I already know exactly what I want to do with it. As it was put in a movie, "when you know you wanna spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start right away." That's how we feel but we have to wait.... Our story seems almost perfectly conveyed in these stanzas: "With heavy breath, awakened regrets. Back pages and days alone that could have been spent together, But we were miles apart. Every inch between us becomes light years now. No time to be void or save up on life. Oh, you got to spend it all. And wherever you've gone, and wherever we might go. It don't seem fair. Today just disappeared. Your lights reflected now. Reflected from afar. We were but stones. Your light made us stars." |

| I love PJ because of how well they can friggin describe other peoples' dillemas... they have damn good empathy... That was COMPLETELY me at one time, but I'm lucky now because love really did break my fall. Thank you Matt, because of you I learned there is more to love than just a fluttery heartbeat.... the truest love is built off of a great friendship. ^^ | |

hey ilikefood, I may hold different opinions than you on my tastes in music, and I really don't have any problem with that. You might not like bands who get out their lifelong agressions through their music, while I do, but that's not something I'd hold against anyone. However it's the last thing you said that gets me. "if he's so hurt (as expressed in all his lyrics) he would just fucking kill himself already and stop trying to sell his "depression"??? So are you saying that everyone who is picked on and becomes depressed should "just fucking kill themselves"? This statement does nothing but point out to me and everyone else that you are just one of the people that Jonathan Davis sings about. Also I'd like to ask, how could you possibly think that Korn was "buying into trendy pop culture" when they pretty much invented their genre?? There was nothing out there that sounded like them when their debut album came out. They gained popularity because they can actually RELATE to a lot of people out there, (and because their music sounds so badass lol), not because all the stupid teenage preps of the world thought the band members were hot. About the "faggot" statements, he isn't saying anything against gays. He's just repeating what he was called by other people who tormented him. It is the rest of society who is homophobic, not him. I am all for gay rights, and I don't see a hint of gay-bashing intentions in these lyrics. I honestly don't believe Korn ever meant to bash gays. This is also why I believe the name to this song is not spelled the same way as the actual word "faggot", which means gay. Society has twisted the meaning, so Korn just twisted the way it was spelled. It's not meant to be about homosexual "faggots", but rather the slang term "fagot". And the last line is in there just for the irony of it LOL I love it ^^ I personally love this song (as well as EVERYTHING ELSE Korn does) and they do it GREAT live! I love Korn, they just recently became my favorite band. I never actually listened to them before because I couldn't make out the lyrics and I used to think it was a bunch of screaming for no reason, but now that I look at the lyrics I can truely appreciate and relate to everything they write. They have such a great variety in each song, each one to me is a masterpiece. I also can't get enough of how dark their music sounds... MUAHAHA!!! lol ^^ |

| Pearl Jam – Deep Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I agree with most of what Benplace said, however I am confident that in the second stanza he is referring to a murderer. He feels "superior" so he feels justified in taking lives. (Also, why would someone who feels superior kill himself?) I would guess that the line, "the aged come" means that he feels it is time for these people to die. Murder also fits with the theme of this song- the three worst kind of addictive, evil passions (drug addiction, murder, rape). Lastly, I don't believe the third stanza refers to a literal "angel" from heaven who comes down to earth because God ("the man above her") sees her as nothing, but rather, I think it is simply a metaphor. I'm pretty sure that "the man above her" refers to the man raping her. She's just a young virgin, and virginity is symbolized by purity and angelic qualities (besides, angels can't have sex). This girl is visiting a figurative hell (being raped of her virginity, the worst thing to happen to a woman in my book). The line "On the edge of a Christmas clean love" confuses me though, I'm not sure what that means... it may possibly be saying that she was "on the edge of" losing her virginity to someone she loved... "clean love"... but I really don't know, that's just the closest I can guess. If anyone else has any other idea on what that means, I'd like to know. ^_^ | |
