| The Fray – Hundred Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I agree with drachmaserus. it is a beginning of relationship. they just found themselves in this possibility of being with each other without even trying. And it's just saying that maybe they're not quite ready, but it's okay being in that unknown, being unsure, being not quite 100% of everything. | |
| Bob Dylan – It Ain't Me Babe Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I have to agree with spook. bob dylan has been mythologized by his fans that they impose their expectations on him. taken from a romantic perspective, that same imposition of the ideal image is present. As a woman, I can say the same thing to a guy. I'm not going to be the damsel in distress, I'm not going to be fawning over you and imagining roses and candlelights. I'm not an image, ideal or otherwise. I think that's what Dylan meant. |

| Ani DiFranco – Sorry I Am Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
i feel the same way burningman. but there's something that i find ambiguous. "I guess I never loved you quite as well as the way you loved me" --- does that mean she never loved him as much as he loved her? Or, that she didn't show her love for him as much as he did for her. i thought at first, that it s was the former, but with the choice of words, plus the part that she meant to make it up to him, those made me think it was the latter. |

| Joni Mitchell – I Think I Understand Lyrics | 20 years ago |

I just started recently getting into joni mitchell. I really like the message of this song. She's such a great poet. Fear/challenges can either help you to become better, or swallow you into it's depths. To understand that there is a choice. |

| Tom Petty – Free Fallin' Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
i didn't really think about the drug reference until reading the posts. now it does make sense. I agree that it's about a "bad boy" breaking up with a "good girl" and he doesn't miss her, probably because he chose to do drugs instead. but he seems to care about her, though, since he acknowledges that he's not a good person for what he's done. And the way he sings the line "I'm free... free falling." It seems like, at first, indicates freedom, but then a fall (sort of a small twist). maybe it's that drugs makes you feel this freedom, when in actually you're just falling downwards (without the girl who loves him.) my opinion, anyway. |

| Sarah Slean – My Invitation Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
This has got to be the most romantic song i've ever heard. I absolutely love it. It addresses the different aspects of being in love, loving someone so wholly ("You are all the silence I've become"). It shows the reservations people have of expressing this emotion, of letting it affect you ("Do I let you in?"), and risk getting one's heart broken. I think the end stanza is sad, because it implies that she chooses not to do anything. She doesn't know how to begin letting herself become vulnerable, and in the end just contents herself in having a "lovely all her own." |

| Sarah Slean – Angel Lyrics | 21 years ago |

I think the idea behind this song is that spirituality can be bought. They sell salvation on tv. completely self-involved and selfish, they "mistreat" the path to salvation (i.e. helping other people, ignoring other people's needs), because they think that just having this store-bought form of salvation is enough. i really love this song. |
