Poets Of The Fall – Shallow Lyrics

17 years ago

I think it's about a relationship that's pretty much dead. They barely even talk, there aren't any emotions left, but it grew comfortable and it'd be too hard to break things up and be all alone, too shameful to admit that the love they once fought for is now gone. So they just surrender, living their life with each other while feeling alone, always holding back, evading arguments and acting like everything's fine so their masks won't break to show the lack of feelings and connection. Knowing other marriages/relationships around them that are pretty much the same makes them believe that this is how things are bound to go and they accept it as a way of life.

Poets Of The Fall – Everything Fades Lyrics	17 years ago
Nothing lasts forever and that thought should make it easy to forgive. The flipside is that good things also come to an end and there's nothing anyone could do about it. But it doesn't mean nothing should matter, quite the contrary, we have to embrace life's fleeting nature and act freely whatever comes our way because our life itself will one day fade away.

Matchbox Twenty – 3 A.M. Lyrics	17 years ago
About the "She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway" line, I think it means the mother expects to come home and find everyone else all right, she doesn't see how her family suffers. She believes the happiness of the family is a given that remains unchanged and it will be there whenever she goes home.

This song always reminds me of Silent Hill, though I'm almost sure it wasn't in the movie. Probably just a similar melody or the creepy overtones... Still, great and slightly disturbing song.

Poets Of The Fall – King of Fools Lyrics

18 years ago

I think this song is about the fact that when it comes to arguments or differing points of view, you think you're right and also know that the other person believes in their truth just as much. It's hard to make (not just romantic but every kind of) relationships work when two people are very different, so he's contemplating whether they should try and force their opinion on one another until someone gives in, or just agree to disagree and hope their differences won't matter in the long run. He's worried the other person is not so forgiving and indifferent about it, and all these disagreements will drive them away from him, but he can't change overnight (and doesn't think he should anyways).

Matchbox Twenty – All I Need Lyrics	18 years ago
Well, I think he says he doesn't want love or commitment at all, only someone to "stay all through the night", but really he just can't get over being cheated on and lied to by someone he trusted. It's a bitter song, as he took love for granted, and now that they let him down so bad he doesn't want emotions 'cause that would potentially invite more heartbreak.

Poets Of The Fall – All the Way / 4U Lyrics	18 years ago
Amazing song. I might be way off, but... I think it's about him being in a relationship with someone who's suffering from depression, and this person actually loves him too. He knows he's the one who could really make a difference now and help his love overcome all the bad things, so this is a huge burden and responsibility, but he'd do anything.

Poets Of The Fall – Carnival of Rust Lyrics	18 years ago
To me it's about troubles in a relationship where both people feel love for each other, but things just don't seem to work out, even though they've tried to make it better. I love this song, it's creepy, desperate and depressing but also beautiful.

Tim McGraw – One Of These Days Lyrics	19 years ago
To me, it's about the realization that if you have self-respect and can be honest to yourself, you will never again need to hurt and put others down just to feel better. It's not even about the people he treated badly, but the fact he couldn't ever be "good friends" with himself is the root of all problems, and it's a devastating thing to figure out.

I love the soft melody playing, and the way they sing like it's a romantic christmas song - and then you hear those lyrics :) Great, fun song.

The Calling – Stigmatized Lyrics	19 years ago
I agree that it can be about any couple who fear being publicly ridiculed and stigmatized for their love, though I always thought it's a gay couple because of "the faith I knew" line. Beautiful song anyways.

Theory of a Deadman – In The Middle Lyrics	19 years ago
I'm surprised no one commented on this one. I absolutely love this song. I think it's about two people coming to terms with having feelings for each other, like being reunited after a break up they regret.... maybe.
