Freedom. Carefree. Comfortable in your own skin. In short: Unscripted fun. |

| A drinking addiction has claimed this man's friends. The man's girl wishes she could help him but she knows he must work through it on his own. Still, she wishes for him to be through this so they can move on with their life. She loves him and wants hiim to be healthy. | |
| The Cardigans – For What It's Worth Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
One person feels stronger than the other. The other person is overwhelmed by the words and does not seem to feel as strongly. The person has to hold back their feelings so as not to jeopardize the situation that they want so badly to work out. As good as a situation is, love can not be forced upon someone. Do you want someone who doesn't want you? Of course you do. Sometimes you want them more because they don't want you. Time to change that thought. |

| The Cardigans – A Good Horse Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| She found someone she feels something for. She's independent. The "horse" may be having a difficult time dealing with this independence or perhaps the character is now free to explore her independence in a committed relationship. That is what we ultimately hope for. | |
| The Cardigans – Couldn't Care Less Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
As the relationship matured, the feeling of being "in love" faded. One of them gave up hope and doesn't want to work at developing a "real love." The other wants to move forward and put forth the effort to make this a positive thing. Both partners need to work at this in order for it to work. |

| The Cardigans – 03:45: No Sleep Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
It is a beautiful song. The character is aware of the true lateness and emptiness of the world at the moment. Her first instinct is to calll someone to talk but then she starts to enjoy the serenity. She wants it to stay. It's as though she is the only person in the world right now. Savor aloneness. |

|
An argument escalated. They need to overcome it. Time for some make-up sex. |

| Better Than Ezra – Everything In 2's Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Focused inspiration. "Floating tethered to a rope" refers to that unsure feeling when you're just drifting through life. The rope is your center, perhaps your friends and family or your own sense of self. You meet someone you want to include in your life and you are weighed down in a way that does not way you down. It's an anchor; a rock. You're drawn to it. It doesn't define you but it moves you to move forward. That sense of completeness is the freedom to be who you are and to have someone accept you. Everytime you are with them you see that acceptance and it helps you to overcome adversity. "It must be something in the water here" is a play on the idea that some small towns have a chemical added to the water supply that makes you act or think a certain way. What is being said is that there is something to this that reminds me of why I want to stay in this with you. This is what I want and I want it for a long, long time. |

| Sloan – Ready for You Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I didn't know you were out there. I thought this was a life of mediocrity that I was doomed to stayin forever. I'm over that. The past is the past. I'm ready to start this with you and give it my everything. I'm ready for you. |

| The Cardigans – Lead Me Into the Night Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
My interpretation is that here is someone who thought they were in love, and it was just that, an "in love" feeling and not something lasting. Love is not all light. It's a mix. It's standing your ground when the waves crash over you. It's actually being able to do that rather than just float on a "boat made of sand," a metaphor for "a wing and a prayer." In short, boat/water equals the uncertainty. The land references the surety and stability. My favorite part is "although my mother will never understand, I walk with him away from the ight and into the night." It has a few possible meanings, but I think it refers to a rite of passage in which some of the more traditional things are ignored in favor of striking out and finding a sense of self. In some ways the night represents the unknown. The land represents safety. The safe unknown. The struggles to find oneself. |

| The Cardigans – You're The Storm Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
To me, this is a song about passion. The girl is daring the guy to invade her heart and conquer it. "Love me, if you think you are up to it," she is saying. "End the monotony of my peaceful existence. Bring me your desires and your mind and your heart. You're most of the way there. Do not be afraid. I long for respite from complacency. Deliver me to somewhere wonderful with you " It is not peace that brings satisfaction. It is the taking of chances and the uncertainty. It is pursuing what you believe in. What a beautiful song. Love is not about harmony. It is about passion in all things. If that is not there, then harmony will just be boredom rather than a forward motion. ------ BJ Thomas |

| Ellis Paul – Sweet Mistakes Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Ignoring your passions is suicide to the soul. One cannot fear change. One cannot fear failure. One must have courage and conviction. Change will happen without you, but are you going to let it happen or are you going to cause it to happen? The faith in this song refers to faith in the divine. Take that faith and put at least some of it in yourself that you will make the right choices. Get over the fact that you will suffer. You will fail. Others will fail you. Living life well does not mean that everything goes your way. Give yourself a chance to find happiness. If you deny the chance you will know only regret. |
