Isn't the second line "You've lost enough"? Anyway, this is a simply lovely song. |

| The Kidney Thieves – Pretty Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
An extremely relatable song. You're at home getting all "dolled up", and in that moment as you look into the mirror you feel pretty and confident. Then as you leave your house and are surrounded by people, you grow weary. You compare yourself to others and you feel that you can never compete with them. Upon returning home your confidence has demolished and you once again think you're wretched looking. All you want to do is be alone and push everyone else away. After all, you're not pretty and so obviously that means you don't deserve anything or anyone. When someone tells you how they feel about you ("I love you, pretty"), you deny it. That person is pretty and therefore above you. Once again you feel that you don't deserve this person's love or compliments. The "monster" could be a number of things, but I feel it's your mind. The reality is that you're probably not ugly and there are people who do care about you. The mind is a powerful monster that warps everything. |

| The Birthday Massacre – Under The Stairs Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
For some reason this reminds me of highschool bullies. The victim sarcastically feels sorry for them because they are immature. However, over time she lets the teasing get to her and threatens to kill herself so that the bullies rethink how they treat people. In other words, they won't be laughing at her anymore if she kills herself because of them. The bullies don't take her seriously so they continue tormenting her. She wants them to find another person to tease and leave her alone before she is pushed off the edge. She ends up commiting suicide and thinks no one will care about her. She's waiting (in a basement, perhaps?) for someone to find her body. Who knows. |

| The Birthday Massacre – To Die For Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
It seems to be about a couple who has had a long past together. They're drifting apart and changing, but the girl still remembers how the boy used to be [You're something to die for]. The boy is wasting away their relationship [You're just killing time]. The girl realizes that although they used to be so similar, the boy has changed [Look in my eyes boy, nothing like yours now]. Their relationship has lasted so long that they thought it would be forever, but it's ending [It seems that a lifetime is passing us by]. Once again, forever isn't always infinite [This is forever but it won't last long]. Now the boy is forgetting their memories and good times together [In the death of all that's long been said and done before]. They want to go back to how they were, but the boy isn't doing anything to achieve it. [We'll wish that we were something more]. The boy is still wasting their love away and not trying to fix things [Stop wasting time boy]. The boy continues to forget about her and their life together [Your memory's fading]. The girl still loves him despite everything [I'll love you forever]. She doesn't want to let go of the past [I'll try to remember]. She's trying to keep their relationship alive by herself [I'll try to hold on]. However, she can't keep up a one-sided relationship, so it ends [You're standing alone boy]. The boy still wishes they were together but, as always, he doesn't act upon it [Waiting for dreams boy. Waiting for something to make them come true]. The girl holds onto her memories of the boy because that's all she has now [Don't ever leave boy, I'd miss you too much boy]. She won't let her memories fade like the boy did [I'll never forget you as long as I'm here]. |
