LeAnn Rimes – Nothing Better to Do Lyrics 18 years ago
This is a great song! I think it's the girl in the song [in the video, I believe LeAnn's stage name is Annie Jewel] telling her fellow inmates her story, what happened during her adolescence that kind of paved her path to prison. That's what I think, based on the video.

Based on the song itself, it just sounds like a song telling of her past (not LeAnn's real past, as we know she's been in the spotlight since she was 13), and all the trouble she got into during her misfit adolescence. Also, it's kind of one of those songs where she's saying, "This is who I am, I've made mistakes, I've been a troublemaker, but I am myself, and I am free."

Sage Francis – Makeshift Patriot Lyrics 19 years ago
I agree with allofmylove68...

It's more about the media, though there is a definite amount of political reference in it.

After the attacks on September 11th, 2001, the media was doing what it loves to do - rather than presenting footage as news, they, like Sage says, put things on a constant loop and replay the worst parts over and over again "to provoke U.S. angst."

It's like they are trying to make a movie and win some awards with the news. They are trying to make it as dramatic as possible.

LeAnn Rimes – Probably Wouldn't Be This Way Lyrics 19 years ago
[[Got a date a week from Friday with a preacher's son
Everybody says he's crazy; I'll have to see]]

She's got a date with this guy, and people are saying he must be crazy for dating her. She says she'll just have to see if he is.


[[I finally moved to Jackson when the summer came
I won't have to pay that boy to rake my leaves]]

Self-explanatory


[[I'm probably going on and on
It seems I'm doing more of that these days]]

Often when people grieve, when they start to talk about what they are mourning over, the words just seem to spill out and they can't seem to control letting everything spill.


[[I probably wouldn't be this way]]

I wouldn't be this way (mourning, grieving) if we had never met.


[[I probably wouldn't hurt so bad]]

Same, I wouldn't be in so much pain if we'd never been together.


[[I never pictured every minute without you in it
Oh, you left so fast]]

She figured they'd grow old together, but he was gone in the blink of an eye.


[[Sometimes I see you standing there]]

Sometimes she can see him there, like a ghost, or her mind playing tricks on her.


[[Sometimes it's like I'm losing touch]]

Sometimes it's as if she's losing touch with reality and can't quite decipher what is real and what is her mind, what is truth and what is there because she wants it to be.


[[Sometimes I feel that I'm so lucky to have had the chance to love this much]]

She can't quite let herself be upset over having been with him. She's grateful to have been giving the chance to love someone as fiercely as she loved him, and even though she lost him, it was worth the pain.


[[God, give me a moment's grace
'Cause if I'd never seen your face
I probably wouldn't be this way]]

She's praying that God gives her a moment of peace, because she was hooked on the man she loves from the moment she set eyes on his face, and now he's gone. Even if they'd never been together, just having seen his face and then now she'll never see it in person again... she's grieving for her lost love.


[[Mama says that I just shouldn't speak to you]]

Her mom thinks it would be easier to move on if she didn't continue to talk to "him" as if he were still alive, because that will only push her deeper into this unreal world she's created where he's still with her.


[[Susan says that I should just move on]]

Susan thinks that she needs to quite dwelling on the past and forgetting to live.


[[You ought to see the way these people look at me
When they see me 'round here talking to this stone]]

People keep looking at her with that mixture of sorrow, pity, and sadness for her. They see her just sitting there talking to a headstone and they pity her loss and that she can't seem to move on. Perhaps it's because she's there so often.


[[Everybody thinks I've lost my mind
But I just take it day by day]]

People are sure that she's lost herself in her sadness, but she thinks to herself that she's just taking her grief one day at a time, letting herself have time to heal before she jumps back into life.


I probably wouldn't be this way
I probably wouldn't hurt so bad
I never pictured every minute without you in it
Oh, you left so fast
Sometimes I see you standing there

[[Sometimes I feel an angel's touch]]

Sometimes she can almost feel this softness, such as a breeze-like touch on her shoulder, and she believes it to be an angel, as if it's watching over her.


Sometimes I feel that I'm so lucky to have had the chance to love this much
God gave me a moment's grace
'Cause if I never see your face
I probably wouldn't be this way

I probably wouldn't be this way


[[Got a Date a week from Friday with a preacher's son
Everybody says I'm crazy
Guess I'll have to see]]

She's going on this date, etc. Everyone is convinced that the loss of her husband has made her go crazy, and she's saying something like, "I guess I'll have to see if they are right about me. Only time will tell if I truly have lost my mind."
