The Dresden Dolls – Coin-Operated Boy Lyrics 15 years ago
Pretty much what everyone else has said. although i really like the lines "This bridge was written/to make you feel smitten-er/with my sad picture/of girl getting bitterer..."

The Contes – Bleed Together Lyrics 15 years ago
i can't believe there are no comments on this song! this is perhaps one of the best songs Steve Conte has ever written... it's so heartbreaking to listen to.

Dobie Gray – drift away Lyrics 15 years ago
This song has so much more soul when it's the Dobie Gray version somehow... but i love the thought of music being the river that carries one away.

"And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along makin' me strong"

i've always wanted to write an e-mail or a letter to this musical artist i've been listening to since i was about 16, and put that very stanza in it. i think he'd appreciate it, and it's true. his music has helped me along.

The All-American Rejects – It Ends Tonight Lyrics 15 years ago
this song really would be good as an acoustic guitar thing... i can almost hear it. *wonders where her guitar is*

The Dresden Dolls – Bad Habit Lyrics 15 years ago
i don't think it's expressly trichotillomania crayola_... and isn't that about pulling out one's hair?

regardless, this song does bring me an odd sense of comfort. i used to cut, for the sheer relief it would bring rather than out of any need for 'attention', and knowing that someone else knows what it feels like to use the pain as a control rather than an 'omg i'm so emo i cut myself and cry' thing is nice. i still miss cutting sometimes, but try telling anyone that. "You might say it's self-inflicted, but you see, that's contradictive. Why on earth would anyone practice self-destruction?"

Three Days Grace – Over and Over Lyrics 15 years ago
agreed, but it still makes perfect sense as a heartbroken love song. 'over and over, i fall for you, over and over, i try not to.' *shrug*

Joey Lauren Adams – Alive Lyrics 15 years ago
This song makes me so happy and depressed, all at once... i am surprised that joey lauren adams wrote it. it makes me think of /him/, and the fact that he doesn't know how i feel about him. but every time i hear his name, i want to cry.

the swings between evolution and creationism that goes on here are astounding. i love how they worked it all in!

Les Miserables – Who Am I? Lyrics 18 years ago
one of my favorite anime voice actors played Jean Valjean on the London stage... Jamie McGonnigal. Watch for him. His voice when he sang this song broke my heart. *sigh* and then he did the final bit for an outtake on Knight Hunters ("Who am I? Who am I? 24601!!")

Jimmy Eat World – Work Lyrics 18 years ago
Simply, it's about being young. Sex, work, love... it's all here.

"Can we take a ride/Get out of this place while we still have time?"
He wants to get out before he becomes a blue-collar drone and she becomes a housewife to some loser. *shrug*

Bowling for Soup – Where To Begin Lyrics 18 years ago
This song is an honest love song... something i want to play to my boyfriend to make him understand how i feel about him. he'd love it too.... "we watch the sunset come back up
And somehow know it never goes back down"

Utada Hikaru – Simple And Clean Lyrics 18 years ago
this song is about falling in love with someone and feeling like life is simple and clean, i think. to be able to love someone enough to just let them leave... it's an amazing feeling

Hoobastank – Disappear Lyrics 18 years ago
i don't know. this song seems to me to be a bit like my relationship with my boyfriend... whenever he's around, no one else seems to exist. it's amazing

Rise Against – Swing Life Away Lyrics 18 years ago
i fell in love with this song the first time i saw the video... the message of being content with what you are and what you have touches me deeply. i should really include this on the CD of sappy songs i'm making...

VNV Nation – Beloved Lyrics 19 years ago
i remember the first time i heard this song... the man i was in love with sent it to me, then broke up with me 2 weeks later.

in a way, for me this song symbolizes the pain love puts you through (It's colder than before,
The seasons took all they had come for.), but it's also so joyous to feel that eternity with the right person awaits you. i love this song.

Gorillaz – 19-2000 (Soulchild Remix) Lyrics 19 years ago
this song is awesome. however, it's "My mama said slow down/You must make your own shoes/Stop dancing to the music/Of Gorillaz in a happy mood". otherwise it doesn't make any sense.

3 Doors Down – When I'm Gone Lyrics 19 years ago
i agree with NineInchDoorsDown...

i don't know. when i first heard this song, i thought of my buddy Sheldon. it was right after he killed himself. he was a good student, on the school wrestling team, always had a smile and a kind word for me when i needed it. but he was so broken up inside, he killed himself.

"There's another world inside of me that you may never see..." sometimes you don't see the signs til it's too late.

and here's to the men and women protecting our country. we love you.

Green Day – Extraordinary Girl Lyrics 19 years ago
if you look in the CD booklet, this song's lyrics are written like the notes my friends and i used to write in school. certain lyrics (like "She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes") are written in the handwriting that you see throughout most of the rest of the booklet, Jesus/Jimmy's handwriting. The others("He steals the image in her kiss
From her hearts apocalypse
From the one called whatsername") are written in the handwriting used in Letterbomb, which is supposed to be Whatsername's. just kinda cool, i think

Bowling for Soup – Surf Colorado Lyrics 19 years ago
This song is definitely interesting... the music is perfect. And since i live in colorado... it connects rather well. although there're really no ski runs in the Springs...

Simple Plan – Meet You There Lyrics 19 years ago
This song... hurts me so much. i lost one of the best friends i've ever known to suicide on February 26, 2003, and another to a random shooting on December 19th of the same year. but i know they're here with me, watching over me. they still are here, and when i go, i'll meet them there.

God i feel like such a teen cliche =>_>=

and LurkerAbyss: bite me. it's not your thing, don't diss it.

Simple Plan – Happy Together Lyrics 19 years ago
One of the best covers i've EVER heard. they did an amazing job covering The Turtles' best song. and the beat is SO much more fun!

submissions
Green Day – Letterbomb Lyrics 19 years ago
i find it interesting how in the CD booklet, Letterbomb is an actual letter addressed to "J." and signed "W." i take this to mean that Whatsername has broken up with Jimmy/Jesus using the old-fashioned "Dear John" letter. This ties in nicely with "Wake Me Up When September Ends", which was also written about the death of Billie Joe's father in September 1982, when Billie Joe was 10.

Green Day – Are We the Waiting? Lyrics 19 years ago
i kind of wonder if this song comes from someone who is truly a split personality. "Heads or tails and fairytales in my mind" says something about the teetering on the edge descibed in Blvd. of Broken Dreams. "The rage and love, the story of my life
The Jesus of suburbia is a lie" is a reference that pops up later in Letterbomb, which says "You're not the Jesus of Suburbia/The St. Jimmy is a figment of/Your father's rage and your mother's love", which makes me think that St. Jimmy and the JoS are the same person, not two different ones. He's schizophrenic and has created Jimmy to channel his rage into. But then, why does Jimmy commit suicide later? Is it that he's assimilated back into the JoS (read Sybil to see what i mean)? Or is it something else?

Yoko Kanno – Words That We Couldn't Say Lyrics 19 years ago
this song makes me so sad... there are sometimes regrets you have from not telling someone something that you needed to say, and someday, maybe, you'll have the chance to make it right.

every time i hear this song, i think of Mike, my teacher who was shot and killed, and i regret that i never told him how much i cared about him and how much i enjoyed talking to him each day. it breaks my heart.

submissions
Yoko Kanno – Rain Lyrics 19 years ago
this song to me means searching for a place where you're welcome, and not finding it at all. You can't go home but you can't find a place to be yourself where you can be content.

i love this song, especially the version Steve Conte does. it's the one on the first OST disc. Mai Yamane does the one that plays during Ballad of Fallen Angels.

submissions
Yoko Kanno – Don't Bother None Lyrics 19 years ago
It's all about letting whatever life does to you roll off your back. i especially love where the car is stolen, and all the singer is concerned with is getting back her heart... god Mai Yamane has a beautiful voice

Yoko Kanno – Blue Lyrics 19 years ago
this song seems so sad to me, like it's about death and suicide. here's my explanation:

"Asked myself what it's all for
You know the funny thing about it
I couldn't answer
No, I couldn't answer"

when you're depressed and suicidal, things don't have meaning anymore

"Things have turned a deeper shade of blue
and images that might be real
may be illusion
Keep flashing off and on"

what's real? what's illusion?

"Free...
Wanna be free, Gonna be free
and move among the stars
You know they really aren't so far

Feels so free...
Gotta know free..."

i have to be free from this life.

"Please...
Don't wake me from the dream
It's really everything it seemed"

somehow, this seems to me like a plea not to bring her back

"Everything is clearer now
Life is just a dream, you know
that's never ending
I'm ascending"

i'm on my way to heaven, i'm ascending, and all the illusions of the dream of life have been stripped away.

that's what i get, anyway

Nonsense to the nth degree, with a happy, bouncy, poppy beat. Gotta love Yoko Kanno.

And the video of this (the opening to the Bebop Movie) is awesome.

Yoko Kanno – Call Me Call Me Lyrics 19 years ago
This song always makes me think of loves, losses, and moving forward while never forgetting. something i'm still learning to do.

and yeah, Steve sang it. He also sang Diggin', No Reply, Stray, one version of Rain, Words That We Couldn't Say, Could You Bite The Hand? and Nowhere and Everywhere, which is one of my favorite songs. he's awesome.
