Nine Inch Nails – Only Lyrics 20 years ago
ahh this song is amazing...i think it's about having this perfect image of someone/loving someone without actually knowing them and then you get rejected by them. this is after, when you say how you always imagined the TWO but now its def. ONLY you. its almost like revenge at whoever hurt you because it's just so angry...idk if that made sense...

The Dresden Dolls – The Time Has Come Lyrics 20 years ago
i disagree that this song is actually about the girl cutting...i think that the relationship was really harmful to her and it's a metaphor for cutting herself. in the begining she's saying how he's cutting her wrists--i think he hurts her and leaves her and now she's saying no one will ever be allowed to do that to her again. when she says
"it took that cut to bring me back to life
theyre bleeding and theyre frightened still i hold out both my hands:
no one in the world will ever touch me there again."
she's saying that it took him really hurting her to make her see the truth. and now she can show people how she's been hurt, but she won't let anyone else hurt her, it's also saying that even if he hurt her. she's never going to get over him or let anyone have the same effect on her.
