Tori Amos – A Sorta Fairytale Lyrics 20 years ago
This song reminds me of a time a special someone and i drove cross country and it was the best time of my life and i made a small video clip of that drive, knowing it wasn't going to last forever, both the trip and the relationship. now it's almost over, i'm listening to the song over and over again and the bittersweet frays of a nearer goodbye is like the only form of familarity i have right now.
this song to me about a girl not being able to give up on a bad relationship and she clings on to it because it's her story, her book.

Five for Fighting – One More for Love Lyrics 20 years ago
i think this song is great. "There’s paper promises and alibis, There is certainly uncertainty in all our eyes, But as long as you are here I’ll be all right, As we roll on tonight". i love that part. to me it's about hoping when there is no point hoping, when the other person is obviously not reciprocating.

Sarah McLachlan – Fallen Lyrics 20 years ago
We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
THe past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear...

This song came out around the time of the end of a very long relationship with a boyfriend who is still my best friend. At that point, no matter how many people told me "time heals", it didn't. Every morning, the pain and ache was all too familiar. Above all, the regret I felt and the burden of the fault I put onto myself, the clarity of my mistakes.

This song is about the point in your life where nothing works anymore because of one decision, one choice, one mistake.

3 Doors Down – Here Without You Lyrics 20 years ago
i'm a hopeless romantic too, rinse. but this song to me isnt about just love..it's about loss. sigh, like many of my other postings, i tend to see loss loss loss written in many songs. anyway it's one of those songs that i like to listen to in the middle of the night, all alone, having a drink or smoke. the voice just drills into my head, i almost want to channel my feelings telepathically to the one i lost.

Lifehouse – Breathing Lyrics 20 years ago
i think it's about pain and the loss of a loved one. he's just willing to wait for her scraps to fall of the table and he's happy sitting at her door listening to her breathe. anything just to be there, right there, next to her. even if it makes him look like a miserable loser. i think a lot of people can relate to this song because they've been there, the brink of desperation, borne out of love and pain and suffering. yes me included.

Keane – Somewhere Only We Know Lyrics 20 years ago
"Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin"

i love this song...i initially felt this song was about the loss of youth, growing up and yearning for the simple pleasures in life. then later felt it was more about love and wanting to go back to a special person. the last time i heard this song on the radio was when i was travelling to an airport to fly home with my travel companion, who was a special person to me. but we fought so much throughout the trip, i felt that friendship wouldn't outlast the flight and i was just reminiscing when we were still getting along. it was a simple place, a simple thing but something that was breaking down beyond anyone's control. as the song played, i prayed that he was listening as intently as i was and he would have the same memories i had of us.

Kelly Clarkson – Beautiful Disaster Lyrics 20 years ago
i love this song because it reminds me of a guy i was seeing but fell for. he was so brilliant and amazing on the outside but in our short time together, i saw his broken spirit and depression. i knew i should have walked away then but i decided to stay...which made it a beautiful disaster...beautiful memories but a disastrous outcome anyway.

Blessid Union of Souls – Light In Your Eyes Lyrics 20 years ago
It's been a while since I've seen you so how have you been
Did you get my letter I wrote you, but I did not send
I tried to call your old number
But the voice that I heard on the phone
I recognized but she told me the number was wrong

i love this part. it's so subtly tragic...we all have letters we never sent, words never said, yet still hoping the other person can understand how we truly feel about them. i think this part about having hope while not having courage.

Kelly Clarkson – Because of You Lyrics 20 years ago
to me, this song is about herself, singing to her own reflection, seeing the broken and scared part of her personality.

Tori Amos – Northern Lad Lyrics 20 years ago
"He don't show much these days, it's gets so fucking cold.
I loved his secret places but I can't go anymore"

i love the way the song starts out with the gentle piano, then builds up gradually. tori amos has a way of bringing on the tears, even when her lyrics are quirky and mysterious sometimes (at least to me)

i think those lines hit me the hardest cos i (and prolly everyone else) have felt that longing for familiarity and assurance and you know you aren't going to get any.
