Foo Fighters – Best Of You Lyrics 14 years ago
There are many comments about romantic relationships, but I think family can "get the best of you" as well. We are taught by society to never turn our backs on our parents and siblings. They can be even more abusive at times because they know that there is a blood bond of loyalty and unconditional love. Cutting family out of your life is the worst breakup of all.

Radiohead – Nude Lyrics 17 years ago
Adultery came to mind immediately the first time that I heard this song. The lyrics could be applied to any situation where a person is lying to themselves about the reality of what is happening... but cheating fits the lyrics and mood of the music better than any other in my opinion.

Shakira – Ojos Asi Lyrics 18 years ago
ouch yeah, that was a terrible translation. Here is the real one:

Yesterday I knew a sky without sun
and a man with no land
A saint in prison
and a sad song with no leader

ya he ya he ya la he
And I knew your black eyes
ya he ya he ya la he
And now it seems that I
could never live without them

I’m asking heaven for just one desire
To be able to live in your eyes
I’ve already seen the whole world
And I’m coming to say one thing to you
Traveled from Bahrein, to Beirut
Went from the north to the south pole
And I could not find
eyes like yours

rabboussamai fikarrajaii
fi ainaiha aralhayati
ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni
arjouka labbi labbi nidal

Traveled from Bahrein, to Beirut
Went from the north to the south pole
And I could not find
eyes like yours

Yesterday I saw a woman go by
underneath her camel
A river of salt, a boat
abandoned in the desert

ya he ya he ya la he
And I saw your black eyes go by
ya he ya he ya la he
And now it seems that I
could never live without them

I’m asking heaven for just one desire
To be able to live in your eyes
I’ve already seen the whole world
And I’m coming to say one thing to you
Traveled from Bahrein, to Beirut
Went from the north to the south pole
And I could not find
eyes like yours

I’m asking heaven for just one desire
To be able to live in your eyes
I’ve already seen the whole word
And I’m coming to say one thing to you
Traveled from Bahrein, to Beirut
Went from the north to the south pole
And I could not find
eyes like yours

Tori Amos – Precious Things Lyrics 20 years ago
This is my favorite Tori song... I think everyone has explained the song very well so far, but I want to say that seeing her sing this live made me a Tori fan for life. If you all can find it, try to get a copy of her singing this live in Glastonbury.

Tori Amos – Raspberry Swirl Lyrics 20 years ago
Quoted from Storytellers:

"In some of my relationships with a few of my women friends, I play a certain role. Heh, this is really getting in...I know, I hope my father's not watching this. He just doesn't know what to do. The straight-jacket's coming. But you know I always told my dad - you know, gays, lesbians, he just has to get used to it. One of the neices and nephews is gonna be one, he's just gotta get ready. So what I said was ah to Beenie, who's the love of my life. My husband understands this, that we're married. We're absolutely married. And I adore her with all my heart. And she's dated some idiots. And I hope you're watching. I want you to know what I think of you and in another life, I'll absolutely kick your ass. And I'm going to kick it right now actually, because this is for her and I'm in love with her."

I think Tori has always loved Beenie (Nancy Shanks), and been her protector of sorts "everybody knows I'm her man." Beenie was treated badly by men in her past. In my opinion... This song is a big f-you to the jerks, and a welcome to any man who can step up to the plate and treat Beenie with respect.

Trapt – Enigma Lyrics 20 years ago
Does anyone have another version of this song? I have one with the same chorus and bridge, but different verses. Weird. It is definitely Trapt, but I cannot find the lyrics anywhere.

Evanescence – My Immortal (Piano - Vocal Version) Lyrics 20 years ago
This version of My Immortal is haunting. There is a deeper sense of despair in Amy's voice. It is so raw... she sings like her heart is breaking with each note. Few songs bring me to tears, but this is an exception.

Lyrically, I think that the song was written to describe the aftermath of a breakup. (While it is none of my business, and I do not know Amy Lee or Ben Moody personally, it sounds like Amy is singing about Ben's feelings for her.)

Personally, I feel that this version is very dark. She is mourning a devastating loss. I interpret the line "Now I’m bound by the life you left behind" in several ways. The physical loss of a friend, a lover, a family member in death. The emotional loss of the love that those people gave. There is an incredible need for their presence that overwhelms her so much that she is almost begging herself to let go. It's so brutally sad and beautiful.

Nine Inch Nails – Eraser Lyrics 20 years ago
Not saying this is necessarily a bad song or anything of the sort, just to me the song reminds me of a rapist. Like a song that a rapist would sing if he were to sing. Totally not want Trent meant with this song, and it does fit for repititious relationships, but the song just takes me to a rapist point of view.
