Fuel – Ozone Lyrics 19 years ago
Reminds me of those relationships where there is huge co-dependency going on. Both people have problems, both can relate to each other and seek one another to not be lonely, however that does not solve their problems. Instead they just hurt each other in the end.

Fuel – Song For You Lyrics 19 years ago
I don't think it necessarily means actual abuse emotionally, physically or mentally. It seems more like taking things for granted, I think. Abuse might mean, abusing the relationship rather than abusing the person you are in the relationship with. Relationships can start out seeming sunny and bright, happy and joyous. When it ends, it can be dark and dismal, sad and lonely. When the relationship is over, what does one have left to do? Think of what what things had been and might have been and hope the other party will remember too? That is my take anyway.

t.A.T.u. – Klouny Lyrics 19 years ago
Ask me...

Familiar lights
Fade and die
Only indifferent
Lanterns shake

Strange ideas are
Superfluous and unoriginal
And from another dimension are
Wind-up clowns

Wind-up clowns
Are blue and red
Wind-up clowns
And words are useless

Better ask me
And we'll awake like new
And we'll awaken strong
Just ask me

Ask me ...

Blues and reds
Differently useless
Reds and blues
And entirely powerless

Most ordinary
And absolutely unoriginal
Indifferent dolls are
Wind-up clowns

In four directions
All four point left
And in the fifth are clowns
Clumsy dolls

Better ask me
And we'll awake like new
And we'll awaken strong
Just ask me

Ask me ...

Ozzy Osbourne – I Just Want You Lyrics 20 years ago
What it is about? I'd say it is simply saying "Nothing else matters but you" or "Anything is possible with you".

Fuel – Shimmer Lyrics 20 years ago
Ultimately, it is about not being able to start over again, in my point of view. It is a song that has been a theme in my life and comes to mind when things have gone past the point of no return. You can apply this song to any case along those lines.
Sory wise, it is easy. A guy and a girl. The girl comes back after leaving him. She realizes she made a "terrible mistake". She wants understanding or something like that. By now the guy can no longer be elated. He no longer hold hopefulness. Instead he is jaded. He likely would wish to start over again, but from his experience he found he had finally seen what was beneath the idealist surface he had made of her. She spurns love and is not looking for a relationship like that, he is sure. He doesn't know how he feels about that. He feels torn by the fact. No matter the outcome, he likely will never reach what he wishes for, because in the end it will never be what he was hoping for.

t.A.T.u. – Malchik Gay Lyrics 20 years ago
Even though the girls are portrayed as lesbians, I do not think their songs completely have to be put in that box. It makes more sense when you look at the songs then.
Think of the one singing is a girl and the person she is singing to is a boy. The boy can never be hers because he is interested in his own gender. They might be friends even, but there is the onesided crush. That would be the cause of torment for the one singing as the feelings were doomed from the very start.
Again, this can be portrayed as a homosexual individual in love with someone of his or her own sex who happens to be straight and taken.
That is my view point at least.

Evanescence – Tourniquet Lyrics 20 years ago
Sure, how I take the song is likely completely off from the original meaning, but oh well.

It was mentioned somewhere that Evanescence’s take on the song “Tourniquet” was actually one by a band called “Soul Embraced”. Either way, I heard their version. The song stuck out to me because it reminded me of when I was in middle school.
Yeah, the creator band was a Christian one spreading the word and such. Well, I am not the most Christian of people. Personal meaning, as I said. Well, the first section of lyrics reminded me of when I bottled things up. Middle school was a time where my soul and identity really started to vanish into oblivion.
I felt pain, sadness and understood humiliation, betrayal, loneliness and other dark emotions rather well during those years. I did not want anyone to see my weaknesses. I never wanted anyone to see me cry. Instead of shielding myself from everything, I shield all of my emotions to the point they devoured me inside.
It was not until the ending year of my middle school career that one night I realized I did not know who I was anymore. In metaphoric mutterings, I saw my soul locked away screaming to be let out but no one knew and never would know if it did in fact die. I did not know it was dying until like the last burst of adrenaline or the last breath when drowning occurred. It scared me that night.
I was utterly lost as to what to do. I felt panic, confusion and hopeless. Everything I was right then was a lie I think. I had tried so hard to be strong but instead all I did was make myself utterly weak. I was locked within myself.
Other metaphoric BS was a basement. Sometimes a person has so many shames, pains and fears… sometimes the person tries to lock such things away. Hide those things so no one can see them. Only you know. Only you. Then one day, when you place so much in there you get lost and you cannot find the key. You are locked down in the basement you hid so long and now are stuck with all the things you wished to escape and you are screaming on deaf ears.
It is then when you have gone so far; you are the only one there. No one knows who you are, not even yourself. What happened to what you were? You knew yourself. Others who were close to you did as well. Do they know you now? Will they remember what you are now?
They will not. They do not know what you are because you hid it. If you continue, then you will die more alone than you ever thought possible. Moreover, you will die with people only knowing the lie that was you. Your life would be an utter lie.
Problem is though, by then who do you know that is left on the outside world? Where are those you had shut yourself away from? You learn who your friends are then. You are sick of the pain and you want to repel them the right way this time. Your soul wants to live again even though it is near its deathbed. Will you make it though? What will be killed - your soul or your ghosts?

The Dresden Dolls – Gravity Lyrics 20 years ago
Modeling and anorexia?

Reminds me of models actually. Gravity plays favorites with weight. The officer could be the police or perhaps merely a person in charge. At work she is too busy dealing on the cat walk. She watches what she eats in order to be perfect. She is now out of control with the eating problems. Even when she is sleeping another pound is gained. She could try different ways too keep her weight off or down, but this works for her. She'd do it differently, but she can't.
Then on stage, people turn to look at her, photos are being taken from the back. She is in the limelight, the others are in the shadows. As long as she keeps control in portions of what she eats. People take photos of her good side as she walks a staight line.
When people pay attention to their weight, they see it is working slowly on everyone that most usually will not notice. Some people are lucky, some people have to work for their figures. You'd rather be in control than to have it out of their hands. People think you can't do it? You'll show them.

The stuff going on in the middle sounds like she is remembering her past and of how she always made it through when she tried. Do as taught. One foot at a time, she hears talking and almost loses focus and then collapses.

Everyone is looking at her, who fell on her back. She is so thin others seem fat compared to her. Each get what story they can on her. People are taking pictures, but for different reasons.
Soon everything she worked for is going down the drain. She has become so weak the sky seems to be heavy even. She is sorry that she failed.

Woman and an Officer?

There was a crime. She saw when the man fell and why. An officer is questioning her.
She underwent harrassment and dealt with things to keep in good graces, possibly physical. She cracked. She no longer could take it anymore. No one would help her. So she finally tried doing it her own way.
People turn their heads when they see her. She is taken from behind when out of sight. She is the good person, the other is the bad. He goes at her.

She makes her move. It all becomes a blur. She remembers childhood, how things were not supposed to turn out like this. Suddenly there is color... and it is red. She is slowly leaving the blurred thoughts and someone wakes her completely. The man is on the floor and very possibly dead.

Now people are looking at her. She is pushed from her backside, arms are cuffed from behind. She is small, the other is big. People are trying to get the story and gossip is passing bits by bits. Photos are being taken of her at her worst. Now would be a good time for a straight answer.

Everything always seems to go wrong for her. Things were not supposed to go such a way. She wants to officer to understand that.


*Shrugs* Does it mean those to me? Not necessarily. Do I think one of those is the meaning? Not really. Speculation.
