The Killers – Human Lyrics 14 years ago
I think "dancer" is right and it makes sense. Dancers are merely puppets of the choreographer.
I think this song is asking are we put on Earth with a purpose to accomplish something? Or are we merely here to just go through the motions of life? Which almost provokes a theme of religion...

John Mayer – Half of My Heart (feat. Taylor Swift) Lyrics 15 years ago
I think he's saying that he can't keep loving her with only half his heart, but he also can't stop loving her with half his heart as well. He knows she's deserves better than just half of it--but he still can't keep her out of it.

With what seems like a rough childhood with nobody to turn to, he hasn't ever really let himself love anyone, or love himself. So he doesn't really know how to do it. He loves this girl, but I feel like he doesn't want to take the plunge to go any further. Maybe he's just scared, maybe he's just waiting for something else..someone better?

I feel this way ALL the time...

The Kooks – She Moves in Her Own Way Lyrics 15 years ago
You don't pull my strings
Because I'm a better man
Moving on to better things

In this "love" song...what exactly is this implying?

Great music, great lyrics, great voice. The guitar solo near the end gives me goosebumps EVERY time.

John Mayer – Assassin Lyrics 15 years ago
Man, this song is good. I interpret this as a guy, who is a player. He's single, not looking for anything meaningful, just having fun being single and getting laid. But then he falls for the girl, but it turns out she was just being a player as well. Basically ditto to Boutux.

Incubus – Dig Lyrics 16 years ago
To me, I see two best friends....where maybe the guy has developed more than a "just friend" feeling for the girl. But he's saying you can always count on me, we'll always have each other... Dig me up from under what is covering the better part of me--find the person you know that I am besides the guy that likes you....

I dunno that's sort of how I interpret it. Love the music, love the song.

Dave Matthews Band – Break Free Lyrics 16 years ago
The girl knows she's sexy: "She says 'I make you wanna climb right out yourself'";
the guy wants her: "I'd love to get some of that, girl".
She won't give it to him. They both know better. That's why, "I drink your poison if you fill the cup". Like, if she's up for it, then he us but he's not going to cross the line. They both know they can't. Maybe they're in different relationships but the attraction is strong. It's kind of like, "I won't tell if you won't tell" type of thing.

This song reminds me of sex and lust. However, I do see the connections with the drugs and the suicide. But I like the sex interpretation better. ;)

Dave Matthews Band – Time Bomb Lyrics 16 years ago
The music in this song is SOOOOO powerful. Love the part before "baby when i get home...."
I think he's tired of all the pain...all the confusion. He wants to believe in God finally...he wants answers. But still....it's so hard and confusing still. I love Dave! His talent for writing songs is unsurpassed in my book.

Dave Matthews Band – Seven Lyrics 16 years ago
I agree Alex! About your last paragraph. It's probably my favorite line in the whole album.

This song is SO sexy...I think it's the best one on the album. I just love how he sings it.

Dave Matthews Band – Alligator Pie (Cockadile) Lyrics 16 years ago
very good point piercwc!!
That kind of sucks for Stella, Grace does get written about more. Why wouldn't he write more about her?
Anyways, everyone says this album is lacking in depth. And sure, just listening it sort of does sound like that. But you read the lyrics and it's like "WHAT?!" I love this band. I can't pick a favorite.

Shinedown – The Crow And The Butterfly Lyrics 17 years ago
Beautiful song. It does seem like they were referring to a parent, besides the "getting high as outer space" part. But, the chorus makes me think it was a girl.

Like a crow chasing the butterfly.

I see this as a guy, who is good friends with a beautiful girl. He's the crow, she's the butterfly. They were best friends and hung out all the time. She maybe secretly liked him and wished he would make a move, but he never did. Finally, she gave up on waiting for him, and therefore "I never thought you'd slip away" and "just a little too late". He thought that maybe they'd stay friends like that forever and that she'd never change.

Just my take. ALSO. The track right after this one [If Only You Knew] could very easily follow my storyline. Listen to it. ;-)

Sara Bareilles – Love Song Lyrics 18 years ago
I GOT IT.

Head under water
and they tell me to breathe easy for a while
the breathing gets harder, even i know that

[[She feels pressured. Some guy is reassuring her, but making her do something she doesn't want to do, but she does it anyways, even though she knows she's uncomfortable.]]

You made room for me but it’s too soon to see
if I’m happy in your hands
I’m unusually hard to hold on to

[[Perhaps she and this guy moved in, or jumped into a relationship quickly.]]

Blank stares at blank pages
no easy way to say this
you mean well, but you make this hard on me

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
make or breaking this
if you’re on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I’m gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today

[[The guy is like..."this isn't working, I'm leaving, unless you can prove to me that you love me" and she's like, "No, i'm not just going to write you something so you'll stay with me. give me something better to write a love song about (maybe a romantic gesture). ]]

I learned the hard way
that they all say things you want to hear
and my heavy heart sinks deep down under you
and your twisted words, your help just hurts
you are not what i thought you were
hello to high and dry
[[self explanitory. pretty much explains every guy today.]]

Convinced me to please you
made me think that I need this too
I’m trying to let you hear me as I am
[[he made her think that she needs him to survive, but she really doesn't.]]


Promise me that you'll leave the light on
to help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'cause I believe there's a way you can love me because I say
[[show me that you really do love me and will stay because you see the fire and determination in me. show me that you'll stay because you love my stubbornness, and my adamant nature.]]

if your heart is nowhere in it
I don’t want it for a minute
Babe, I’ll walk the seven seas when i believe that there's a reason to
write you a love song today
[[deep down she knows he's not going to stay, she doesn't want anything to do with him if he's not going to contribute his part to making it work.]]

My new take on it.

Good Charlotte – I Don't Wanna Be In Love (Dance Floor Anthem) Lyrics 18 years ago
I've never really been into Good Charlotte. This song....it's good. It's kind of theraputic, in a way. It makes breaking up not seem so bad. It's just reassuring:

we break up
it's something that we do now
everyone has got to do it sometime
it's ok, let it go

I dunno. That's my take.

Dave Matthews Band – Jimi Thing Lyrics 18 years ago

Dave Matthews Band – Lie in Our Graves Lyrics 18 years ago
This is my new favorite song after hearing it at the Gorge the other day. I never really thought about this song but now that I have I think it's about just letting go, doing whatever, and living with no regrets. Having the time of your life because someday you WILL be stuck in your grave and do you really want to be thinking about what you could have done? No, live life in the moment and have fun because someday you won't be able too. This song makes me happy too.

Maroon 5 – Must Get Out Lyrics 18 years ago
I think that she still likes him, but he loves her. She doesn't want to be with him, but she does. She doesn't know if she loves him. He's fed up almost, but he loves her so he's sticking around. They desperately need something to change but they are afraid of change. That's my take on it.

Maroon 5 – She Will Be Loved Lyrics 18 years ago
All these theories are great. I think the prostitue one could be pretty valid. Has anyone seen the music video?? Yeah....

The prostitue one seems pretty reasonable to me, but the song is too pretty to be about one, haha. But the lyrics all fit.

Dave Matthews Band – Stay or Leave Lyrics 20 years ago
So what to do
With the rest of today's afternoon, hey
Isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did
Did I do all that i should

That I could'a done

Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be
You and me
I want to be too
What day is this
Besides the day you left me?
What day is this
Besides the day you went?

This songs gives me goosebumps. And I feel like crying. This song...is simply beautiful. I agree, is has a bittersweet feel to it. It's sad, but I doesn't portray a negative attitude toward the breakup. It's kind of...hopeful sort of. But in a sad way. I LOVE the rhythm and the music. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Dave Matthews Band – Grace Is Gone Lyrics 20 years ago
elegance and beauty of movement or expression
seemliness: a sense of propriety and consideration for others
a disposition to kindness and compassion;

When he says grace, I don't think of a woman. I think of his grace. His kindness and compassion. Not his loss of it, but the fact that he can't do it anymore for a certain person. You know? I see a man who has lost his lover, and she's gone and he's drinking the pain away. Like, his heart was broken by this lover of his, and now all his grace, like state of mind is gone.

And on this part:
Take my heart, take my eyes,
Cause I'll need them no more.
If never again they'll fall upon,
The one I so adore.

He's saying take his eyes and heart, because they won't fall on the one that he loves so much, either she has moved on, or she's dead.

I think I contradicted myself...but oh well.

His songs have so much meaning. I haven't read all of the meanings, but everyone kind of argues and its kind of unnecessary because his songs can be interpretated in so many ways and EVERYONE has a different opinion and it can mean different things to other people due to past experiences. It's just...not right imo to argue to find one true meaning of a song. my two cents. :)

Dave Matthews Band – Where Are You Going Lyrics 20 years ago
My first boyfriend introduced me to Dave Matthews Band. We dated for nearly a year and a half. He was my first love. We broke up about a month and half ago, he dated another girl directly after we broke up because he couldn't stand being alone. I refused to talk to him. But, we recently started talking. This song almost makes me want him back, even though I said I'd never take him back because he broke my heart...more than once. It makes me cry. But...a wonderful song.

burstingbubble- that's what I think of too when I heard this song. The ring around the rosie part and the plague in europe. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion and interpretations so it's all good. this song is soo sad.

"you should never have to watch your only children lowered in in the ground...you should never have to bury your own babies..."

Soo incredibly sad. But I heart DMB forever. =D

Dave Matthews Band – Everyday Lyrics 20 years ago
I love this song...love love love it.
I was just recently introduced to DMB about a year ago, and I"m trying to get ahold of as much DMB as I can. I just like this song. It's upbeat, and uplifting.

I love how the live version from the Gorge starts out...*honey honey...come and dance with me* it has special meaning to me because my ex bf introduced me to these guys, and he gave me a photo album with quotes and this song reminded him of me. But..I had never heard the song until now...also...on the live version from the gorge you hear this girl scream so excitedly because they're playing this song. It's just soo....I dunno. I just love their music.
