| Dido – Isobel Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I feel like this song is about Isobel's abortion and the guilt that she feels for it, and Dido is worried that she has killed herself out of guilt. "And who he would become by the things he'd have done Would he have loved you and not let you down And would he be stronger than his father Don't punish yourself, leave it well alone" |

| Kelly Clarkson – Because of You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song reminds me alot of a guy I saw for a little while when I was younger. He ended of date-raping me when I was 15. I thought I was in love with him, and in return for my love, he broke me. I can see where it is about a teen/parent relationship, but like any good song, it means different things to different people. This song will always remind me of Addam and the ways that he destroyed so much of who I was. Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt Because of you I tried my hardest just to forget everything Because of you I don't know how to let anyone else in Because of you I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty Because of you I am afraid Because of you |

| James Taylor – The Water Is Wide Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song was actually my childhood lullabye, so it touches a special place in my heart. It is really such a beautiful sentiment about love, any kind of love. | |
| Alanis Morissette – Wunderkind Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I really like this song alot, the only thing that bothers me about it is that she mispronounces wunderkind. It's a German word meaning "wonder child," which is why I love the song. But really, you could make an effort to pronouce the word correctly. Its the only think that, in my mind, ruins this wonderful song. | |

| Jars of Clay – Worlds Apart Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I love Jars of Clay, and this is my favorite song. Some people are a little shocked by this, but I don't think that it is quite the admonishment that some people think that it is. To me at least, its about understanding where you are with God, and what it means to your life. We are all in different places in our lives, and therefore our relationshis with Jesus are different. This is a beautiful song about acceptance and belief in a world wrought with doubt: "All said and done I stand alone Amongst remains of a life I should not own It takes all I am to believe In the mercy that covers me" |

| Yellowcard – One Year, Six Months Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song is basically amazing. I've been with my boyfriend for a year and half, and we are really on the rocks. All we do is fight, and it got to the point that we weren't speaking. We're trying to patch things up, and this song is perfect for that. i played it for him the first time we saw eachother after three weeks of not talking, and I think that it was the first step towards healing our broken relationship. Young love is nevver easy, and this song captures that perfectly: "I can tell that you don't know me anymore It's easy to forget, sometimes we just forget And being on this road is anything but sure Maybe we'll forget, I hope we don't forget" Yellowcard is so good at this, finding wonderful ways to put what you are feeling into words. Everyone of their songs feels like it is geared directly at the listener, and no one else! |

| Yellowcard – Breathing Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song has been on constant reapeat on my computer for about a month. It really sums up the situation I think that a lot of people find themselves in. I can see where it might be about cheating, but I don't think that it is, really. So many songs written are about falling in love, but so few artists focus on the pain offalling OUT of love. I have been with my boyfriend for a year and half, and I care about him, but I don't know if I'm still in love with him anymore. I can't bear to hurt him, so I stay with him, all the while building this resentment and pain. the line that does it for me is: "Something I've been keeping locked away behind my lips I can feel it breaking free with each and every kiss" You stay with him, you kiss and pretend that everything is ok, but you get to the point that each kiss makes you hurt, makes you want to die, knowing that there is love in his kiss and only deciet in youts. How do you tell someone you love that you aren't in love with them. "I don't know if I should stay or turn around and run" I'm leaving for Europe, mostly to escape him and the responsibilities I have here. I should stay and face him, tell him how I feel, but I'm torn.I think that a lot of young couples face this. I think that this is an amazing song by a truly amazing band, putting into words what so many of us feel. |
