Stars – Life Effect Lyrics 18 years ago
to me, the two characters in this story had a loving relationship that the guy ended without good reason, and they are trying to remain as close as they always were. "the birth" refers to the beauty of the relationship, and "the death" is the slow process of truly breaking up. (i love that lyric because in life, it is the opposite - although i'm sure a woman going through labor would beg to differ!) so she stays by his side, hoping that he will want to be with her romantically again, but he's indecisive, and she remains hurt. time has passed though, and she has convinced herself it is best for the both of them if she moved on, even though it will break her heart: "The bravest that I've ever been was when I ran away from you."

he doesn't want to lose her, he wants her in his life. but he can't give her what she needs, and does not know if he loves her enough to keep her; it would be selfish of him. but he realizes that he is jealous, and unsure of how to deal with her being with someone new. now that she has let go of him, as hard as it was for her, she hopes that he, too, can finally let her go and rest his weary head.

what a love affair.

Aqualung – Breaking My Heart Again Lyrics 19 years ago
"Can't believe, I wanna believe
How can I believe?"

"I thought I knew you
I don't even know myself."

"I'm losing faith"

"I wanna fight, Afraid to fight, Why don't I fight?"

These lyrics pretty much sum how I felt the first few days after my boyfriend broke up with me. I didn't want to believe that we had to end things; I couldn't believe it was coming from someone who loved me and I loved; I wanted to fight back and resist but none of that strength came to me. And I even thought I would give up on love.

I guess that's how torn apart and lost we feel after breaking up. You just have to find yourself again..

Sondre Lerche – Dial Away Lyrics 19 years ago
I think this song means both people after a break-up want to talk to each other because they still care about each other, but can't because it's too difficult. They don't know who should call first, and if they're ready to talk without it being painful.

"You're too perfect to be true
and I can't stand talking to you"

After my first break-up with my boyfriend and best friend, I just wanted everything to be better between us. I didn't want us to hurt anymore. I wanted to talk, I wanted to hear about his day, but there was too much emotion attached to even a phone conversation. So all there is to do is to give it time.. I'm waiting until talking on the phone is a pleasant thing again.

Aqualung – Brighter Than Sunshine Lyrics 19 years ago
This song means more to me than I could've ever imagined. It's the song I shared with my first boyfriend who was my first kiss and first love. Every line conveyed how wonderful love felt between us.. truly brightened up any day without sunshine. Now we've broken up, trying to remain friends. So what do I do with this song now? I thought I couldn't listen to the song anymore.. but I still do. And I've found solace in:

Love will remain a mystery,
But give me your hand and you will see,
Your heart is keeping time with me.

Maybe I'll find a new love, I have to keep that hope alive. Or maybe we'll find each other again.. and be able to share this song together again.. because:

I never understood before,
I never knew what love was for,
My heart was broke, my head was sore
What a feeling

I think I'm starting to understand love by having lost it..

I'm such a sap. :P Thank you Matt Hales for writing the most beautiful songs..
