| Snow Patrol – How to Be Dead Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Lennonforever: The two people in this relationship have been completely destroyed by the guys drug habit. It's meant to show how drugs can ruin people's lives, which is metaphorically equivalent to being dead. | |
| Snow Patrol – Run Lyrics | 19 years ago |

I can see where a lot of people think this is a breakup song, but I'm more inclined to believe that it's a song being sung by someone who is getting ready to die. "I'll sing it one last time for you Then we really have to go You've been the only thing that's right In all I've done" These are the type of words that people say when they know they are not going to have another chance. He regrets just about everything in his life except the person they are leaving behind. "Light up Light up As if you have a choice" People don't really have much of a choice about when they are going to die. This line and one other make it seem clear to me that this person is dying. "To think I might not see those eyes Makes it so hard not to cry And as we say our long goodbye I nearly do" This is the other line that I feel gives the meaning of this song away. There is really only one long goodbye, and that is when someone is saying goodbye before they die. |

| Black Lab – She Loves Me Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think this song is perhaps from the perspective of the bottle or alcohol. This person is an alcoholic, even if she doesn't admit it to herself. The suicide probably is about how the alcohol is slowly killing her. Either literally, or perhaps just ruining her life completely. | |

I'm going to have to disagree with the people who say a song doesn't have to have meaning in order to be any good. That's like saying a book doesn't have to have a plot. This song isn't very good. Not really even a little bit. Now, you can still like it. That doesn't change the fact that it's a bad song though. Personally, I don't care for the song. I think his voice is kind of annoying and I change the station whenever it comes on the radio. |

| Hinder – Lips of an Angel Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Alright, maybe someone can clear this up for me. This song is about a girl he is basically having an affair with. However, the line: "And I, never wanna say goodbye but girl you make it hard to be faithful with the lips of an angel" makes absolutely no sense to me. Who does he not want to say goodbye to? The girl that he is currently with, or the girl he is cheating with. If it's the former, then it's very unclear that he is actually talking about the girl he is currently with. Up until that point he never really makes any kind of direct reference to his current girlfriend except to say that she's there. If it's the later then it really doesn't make sense either. Adding the "but" into the line throws the whole thing off. He's telling this girl that he doesn't want to say goodbye to her, but she also makes it hard to be faithful. The two lines just don't go together at all. I wish I could explain it better than this. Although, listening to the song, I'm not entirely convinced that he actually says "And I, never wanna say goodbye"... Instead of And I, I think he is saying something else instead. It sounds like a two syllable word instead of only a one syllable word. |

| Tool – Vicarious Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Blindrider: I didn't mean to imply that the song touched on the subject of rape. I just used it as an example. While people may get a certain satisfaction out of watching other people suffering, I think there is a point that any decent human being will say enough is enough. It might not be a conscious thing, in most cases I imagine it isn't at all. I brought up rape as one of those examples. I don't think people get any kind of satisfaction out of that type of suffering. | |

I'm not so sure that the last couple of lines are correctly listed. I've listened to the song a fair number of times and this is what it sounds like to me... "Credulous at best, your desire to believe in Angels in the hearts of men Pull your head on...( ) The universe is hostile so impersonal devour to survive so it is, so it's always been" I'm not quite sure what he is saying where I put the ( ). It sounds like "Pull your head on out your head the brazen never listen" but that doesn't really make much sense to me. As to the meaning of the song, I think it's pretty obvious. People have a deep seeded desire to watch other people suffering. It's why people slow down when there is a traffic accident, or why the news is always so depressing. I think the German's call it schadenfreude. I don't know if I agree with this, at least not the the extent that the song seems to imply. I think there are instances where people watching the suffering of others, especially if they don't particularly like the other person. In general though, I think there is a limit that people enjoy the suffering of others. When I hear about people being tortured, kids being raped, and things of this nature, I can assure you I get no satisfaction from it. I think most decent human beings will feel the same way. That's my take on it anyways. |

| Flyleaf – I'm So Sick Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I can't really tell if this song is about being pissed off at the world, or just pissed off at her own circumstances. Although, reading it, it can almost be interepreted as a shot at music in general. She seems to be saying she's sick of people wanting sellout's and people who do the same thing over and over. |

| Disturbed – Guarded Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song seems to be about someone who is at the end of their life. The first verse talks about how this person guarded themselves from the love of another. Throughout his life he thought love wasn't important. Now that this person's life is almost over, they realizes how wrong they were but it's to late. They feel that they devil is laughing because he gave up his chance at love.The song also makes it known that it was a choice that the person made. "You did decide" seems to make that pretty certain. His choices caused him to sell his soul to the devil because he refused to love and let himself be loved by someone else. His life has all been for nothing and it's a wonder if anyone will even be there to remember him when he is dead and gone. | |
