| Evanescence – Cartoon Network Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This is just so morbid and stuff that you can't even begin to find the meaning... and personally, [not trying to offend anyone by this] I think it's complete, total, and utter CRAP! but i guess if it worked to entertain little kids, it severed its purpose and for that, it is amazing... | |
| Evanescence – Where Will You Go? Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
the best way is to do a verse-by-verse break down of the song... the stuff in [brackets] after the verse is the break-down of the song: you're too important for anyone you play the role of all you long to be but i, i know who you really are you're the one who cries when you're alone [this is obviously of somebody who really is quite full of themselves, or puts up quite the mask, hiding who they really are, and the chick (or singer) has realized who they really are, and obviously doens't like it if they'd sing about it in such a way.] but where will you go with no one left to save you from yourself? you can't escape you can't escape [pretty self-explanitory, but just really explaining, almost giving away if you read between the lines, that this person has run to them several times wanting to be helped and wanting to be saved by what they have created, they're not stating, in almost a cocky way if you ask me, where will you go without me to save you from yourself] you think that i can't see right through your eyes scared to death to face reality no one seems to hear your hidden cries you'll have to face yourself alone [the person is in denial that they can see right through them, realizing they are scared to death to leave they're own little world... in denial that this person can see what they're secretly needing because nobody else seems to... "No one seems to hear your hidden cries" and basically stating that they will need to deal with themselves on their own, as good as stating, they're not going to help save them from theirself anymore] but where will you go with no one left to save you from yourself? you can't escape the truth i realize you're afraid but you can't abandon everyone you can't escape you don't want to escape [ *see previous chorus* and they feel like since nobody can save them from theirself since the other person left, that they can abandon everyone, and this person is expaing you can't do that... "you can't abandon everyone.] i am so sick of speaking words that no one understands is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone i can hear you in a whisper but you can't even hear me screaming [if you ask me, this part of the song is saying that the person can't hear them, even though they might be screaming for them, because they're too ignorant... and yet again stating that the person can't reject everyone.] where will you go with no one left to save you from yourself? you can't escape the truth i realize you're afraid but you can't reject the whole world you can't escape you won't escape you can't escape you don't want to escape [*see previous* this now also states that even if this person could stop what they're doing and start again anew, they really don't want to... more ignorance over this possibly?] |

| Evanescence – Everybody's Fool Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This is about a person who puts up a mask to make people love them and to fit in... "oh how we love you"... this person just came to the revelation that it's not the real them and it's not saving them and making them fit in anymore that what it would if they just set the mask down... but that isn't so easy to do... this person almost loved the mask they had put up and made everyone see them as, but now that it isn't really as good as they thought... they no longer love it... "i know the truth now, i know who you are, and i don't love you anymore." ... it's hard to explain | |
| Linkin Park – Numb Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I would also like to say, as MethMeth did, this song reminds me of my mother.... When she went back to work, she was a stay-at-home-mom ever since I was a year and a half, I was ten at the time she went back, she really didn't see me much at all, and to be honest, I avoided her at all costs because she got the 4-12 afternoon shift, and she had daycare at 5 yet some days, she never did leave that when she went back to work, she was generally very cranky and blew up at us a lot. Once she quit, two years later, she realized I wasn't the sweet little girl I was then, for I had helped my dad practically raise my younger sisters while she was gone, I basically had to try to fill in the hole she was leaving them with, a strong/hard task for a ten year old girl, as I couldn't really keep my loss in mind, and this obviously made me tougher, and it gave me a weary side, and well, she didn't like that... she still doesn't to this day. I do almost resent her for this... around the time she went back to work, my parents almost got a divorce as well, so that was hard to deal with, money was tight, and I heard all about it... I'm not trying to say it was the worst thing on the planet, but it was very hard for me at the age of ten to deal with, and to top it all off, I was going through puberty early, so I also had those issues to deal with... and I promised myself to not turn out like her, "to be more like me and be less like you" and I told every boyfriend I've had since then that if I turn out like my mom to shoot me.... I don't take pride in this, but I felt I had to be two totally different people around my parents. Around my mom, I had to try my dammedest to be the naive girl I once was, and around my dad, I could be myself, yet I had to also adjust to stepping down from the parent spot afterwards, and let me tell you, after you did it for two years at such a young age, that's a hard task... This song, really does kind of describe how I feel toward my mother, though I am by no means, proud of what my relationship [or lack of] with my mom has become... | |
