| Ani DiFranco – You Each Time Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
reminds me of not wanting to understand something or being in a really awkward situation- "your eyes are not listening and my ears are running around..." it seems like it's more of a poem almost..... i adore her writing. |
|
| Ani DiFranco – Both Hands Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| "graffiti on your body" reminds me of that game you play when your little or bored where you write out letters to spell things on people's backs. swan song- like that last thing before you die. could be the last fight or discussion. i like the part about the old woman, like nothing-even ending something that was good in the start-nothing is sacred. the "theories" part reminds me of how you can't necessarily have a clear beginning and middle and end. like they couldn't tell when they started to become one person (ie the shadows). and by writing the history on the wall, she's leaving it there-like closure-for somebody to erase and almost signifying she's her own again. | |
| The Cure – Heroin Face Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
reminds me of somebody who just doesn't trust people, like something bad happened and it was a major impact... so you mistrust the start by always running away but you'll never come back almost lilke their escape begins the cycle all over by starting a new beginning |

| it's like: HA! I"M DECEIVING YOU! mwaha! kind of childish and selfish but that's the point, isn't it? | |
| The Cure – Yesterday's Gone Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i've never even actually heard this song and just stumbled on it and i adore the cure... it sounds really sad.... like that regretting that comes with having to just continue on with your life. the very beginning reminds me of reading a newspaper in some old house and just not feeling any motivation. and the fact that it's like he's refusing to deny the fact that yesterday generally means that the day is over. it's like the days have just slid into one. ACTUALLY, more the like "yesterday" was an amazing day, absolutely euphoric in every way imaginable! and then it's like "today" is the crash. like something happened between the two people to just cause this hopeless depth of misunderstanding without the energy to fix things; like you literally don't know what happened but whatever did cut too deep to try to repair everything. this song also makes me think of an older couple, vivacious and spontaneous in their youth, but as they grow older and older, they lose all that and the song is one of them looking back..... i've never even heard the song yet the lyrics make me think all of this by themself. i love it... he's an amazing lyricist and writer.... | |
| Rancid – Ruby Soho Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i think it's just about being carefree and letting go when shit happens and not losing any time and sleep over it. :) | |
| Ani DiFranco – Both Hands Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i haven't heard the full song... i was in a dance class and the light was incredible and the full feeling of the time was amazing. i love the words. i love all of it. there's so much here. i didn't even know she was the author.... :) i feel so much creativity when i think of it. | |
| Panic! at the Disco – Time to Dance Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
no offense or anything, but telling us the song is based on a book isn't answering any fucking questions. and if panic! at the disco has said it's not based on the books, then just get the fuck over it despite the similarities. quit reading into everything that could possibly have been the inspiration. i'm choreographing to this song and am trying to come up with an interpretation. so far all i see is a ballroom and banquet setting with a geometric edge to it and there's a woman that's head is bleeding and it's about a suicide of sorts, but it's more complicated, hence the "not just for the attention"... but i can't really come up with a reason other than too much pressure and not enough TLC. "give me attention! baby give me a break!" like the woman is getting married and is under all this pressure because of life in general and then having the pressure to have to get married and be the perfect bride. like the groom is a bit more leaning to the idea of a boyfriend, not a wife, and she's not exactly pleased with the arrangement. and everything she does, someone can find flaws with too easily. so she just decides to end the torment in order to do just that: end the torment. not for the attention. and even up to the point of her death, she's being told she's even doing that incorrectly. i also like the idea that the wedding is actually her head and the bullet. that's all. anymore help would be lovely. |

| Taking Back Sunday – MakeDamnSure Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
this reminds me of how one of my friends (of 2 years) and i aren't friends anymore and how we're both fine now. not as close as we were but frankly, it's ok. but i think we both feel like this. like we just want to watch the other break and collide and fall. even though we were really close. maybe i'm the only one who feels like this. idk. but it sort of sucks but at the same time, i don't give a shit. and the song says it all. harsh. but that's life isn't it? also reminds me of a kid that's done nothing to me i guess, but i still don't like her. anyhow... |

| Angels and Airwaves – The Adventure Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i do think angels and airwaves is better than blink182... blink182 will always have a part of our hearts and all that sappiness, but honestly... it's a good thing. it's like the whole die-rebirth circle, and angels and airwaves is one hell of a way to start up again. :) | |
| Angels and Airwaves – The Adventure Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i feel like i can fly and my whole life will mean something, even to the point when i die. it just makes me smile a genuine smile. makes me want to dance and makes me realize that i'm going to accomplish what i want to and that we all are really as infinite as we all think and want. it makes me think that my life is going to be huge. that it's going to be amazing. and how much i don't want to miss out on it.... :) i'm going to be fine life's waiting to begin |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Brothers on a Hotel Bed Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
change. changing yourself without noticing until it's done and you can't revert. and then being afraid of how people will react. or how you'll cope. you may tire of me as our december sun is setting. cause i'm not who i used to be. |

| The Matches – Say 18 Lyrics | 19 years ago |

fucking hilarious. don't we all wish we could be older when we're little? makes me think of that... this song just makes me laugh so hard, especially the first verse..... like the ones under my bed... IF you know what i mean |
|
| The Matches – Audio Blood Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| catches the energy of a show, y'know what i mean? reminds me of me in some ways.... and school is a factory. i think what really gets us all about shows etc. is the fact that all the people there probably don't know everybody there but we all get along. everyone's there for this one thing we all have in common (i.e. the band and the music) and that's just so fucking awesome!! because, for the most part, there's no hard feelings after a show and everyone's there to just kick back and have fun... and the best part? everybody knows that!! and i think this song really reflects the freedom everybody feels when they go to a concert.... | |
| From First to Last – ...And We All Have a Hell Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| exactly what came to mind. i haven't even heard this song and i read the lyrics and i was thinking, oh jesus christo! rape and vampires. and what the heck is a bobbysoxer? i like the part where he talks about how s/he's a work of art... but then it gets sort of scary right after he talks about how he can distort her and make her into his fantasy. eep! | |
| From First to Last – Emily Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i have 2 friends named emily... and one of them, someone i've been close to for the past 2 years, believed some shit and ranted about it and didn't even consider the fact that she knew well enough to know that i wouldn't do/say any of what she was told... i confronted her and etc. and things were ok. but i can't feel the same way i did... and it's never been the same. this other emily i've known since i was 8 and she's been wonderful even though she's 4 years older than me. it's funny though in context of this song because it makes me think of both of them and that of all these memories i have from someone i'll never be as close to again (that's the sadness) but then there's all this hope and buoyancy (and that's what's worth waiting for)... and yeah, it might be a bit cheesy, but it's not annoying... i think it's genuine in some ways |

| i think the rippped knees might continue on the idea of running... like the run for my money... and the stitching could have to do with a heart..... | |
| Emanuel – Buy American Machines Lyrics | 19 years ago |

makes me think of gov't control.... "everything you do. i'll be watching you." and about how people act depressed and make pixie stix into lsd and never take responsibility for their own life and how it just might be their fault if it sucks.... |

| The Cure – Play for Today Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| ooooo!! maybe it's not so much a girlfriend/boyfriend lovers things, but just friends in general? like that point where a relationship with a friend just starts to spiral down to nowhere? | |
| The Cure – Play for Today Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i really love this song i think because it's so blah and in your face in a way. but i think overal it's saying," just do whatever whenever" in a more mean way than that. favorite lines: "It's not a case of telling the truth Some lines just fit the situation You call me a liar You would anyway" |

| Umbrellas – The City Lights Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
my take on this song is sort of as so: the first verse is sort of bitter but realistic, like this other person in this relationship -whether it's a boyfriend and/or girlfriend, parent to child, or friend to friend-they both knew that one of them is always up at night and just hanging out and pondering the world around them.but it's bitter because it's talking to something about how it didn't work out and how they might see each other but aren't going to say anything because it's just understood then: "i've pushed away the dreams and spoiled the quiet, i'm propelled by fear and nothing righteous". this line reminds of how when you like someone, you can be either extremely shy or extremely the opposite. like the person has "pushed away the dream[s]" about what it would be like if they were together and has just said "hell with it! i'm going to say something" but by doing that, they've crossed a threshold as far as being able to innocently dream and not have any personal connection (other than their incorrect infatuation and illusions) whatsoever to the other person. and "propelled by fear" refers to the reason they are so outgoing etc. they are too scared to be quiet and never get to know this other person "and nothing righteous" talks to how it's sort of a selfish reasoning on why this person is going to chat and get to know the other. "so have you been to a place like this?" have you ever been in this situation similar to this one. and "to see your breath as it paints against the sky" this just makes me think of sex or being outside in the middle of winter and how you can see people's breath. "the fever is near" makes me think of being dizzy or high on adrenaline when you wait for somebody and you're paranoid that they aren't going to show. "i wish you were here" either they didn't show or it's a present tense looking back on how things used to be and how as they're writing, they wish that this other person was there. OK! 2nd verse: "i'm thinking ambitious" like they're ready to move on "and i've got this feeling that things will be alright" just that. it will be ok. "so go break a leg night" -they're saying "go on and do your best" "been given the green light"- they're going "so go entertain them, they're waiting for you" i think this is a little bitter. like being left behind, but knowing it's for the best even if it sucks at the time. "they're waiting for you"-maybe they never waited for each other before "so have you been to a place like this?"- have you even been in this situtation or literally this place? "to see your breath as it paints against the sky"- like being free, like one of them is flying away and the whole breath thing symbolizes the freedom and such "feeling so right when things went wrong"- it was good that it ended, that they're free to do whatever "the fever is near" the adrenaline thing again "i wish you were here" just because you're happy and without somebody and it's for the best, doesn't mean that you're not going to miss them and want them around to get lost in and love and care for.... |

| The Cure – Want Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i love this song... and i think it's mainly because it's almost self-defeating. like he has enough guts to want something- "planning all my days away"- but everything's working against him to figure it all out. like you want all of these different things, from material things to things like love and "to wonder" but agh! it can't happen because there's all this other stuff you have to do that you don't think you should have to do but you have to do anyway; and then once you get all that finished, you have to recuperate or sleep or something and keep yourself physically alive and then by the time that's all done, you have to start over with the shit again. there's never time to get anything you want to do done. and there really is no hope and no time and then that depresses you and then you just can't get anything done and the cycle starts all over again.... like wanting isn't enough and wanting and living in a surreal world doesn't help get the stuff you care about done either.... *sigh*... i think i know too much about this cycle.... :) | |
| The Cure – Doing the Unstuck Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| oh i feel so infinite listening to this song.... it reminds me of gypsy 83, and the summer of 2005 when i went to seattle and ocracoke and was gone for 4 weeks from my home and oh i fell in love with the world and this song was playing while i did... i can't not smile thinking of this and hearing this song | |
