| Missy Higgins – Forgive Me Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This song gives me chills every time I hear it, and almost makes me cry. I think it signifies the inner torment a person who has cheated on his wife and family. It expresses this mans true and inner feelings of the pain he has caused his family and how much love he truly has for them. He is no better than Eve was in the Garden of Eden and that he is fallible. | |

I think this song signifies someone who was in a relationship at a very young age and not at a point in life where he/she wants to be. To me this person has been contemplating ending the relationship for a long time, and has started the process of breaking up by the means possible to make it easier to end the relationship. (Therefore not liking what they’ve begun and knowing the end result), and being in disbelief of actually getting to that point. Apparently in this song the 2 people involved know each other extremely well, possibly a long term relationship or marriage, hence the reference to them not knowing who they are without the other person. They have been with each other so long or so early in life that they haven’t had a real chance to identify with their own desires of life. As well the song states that we are naïve when it comes to love, and that when 2 people fall in love that it is percieved to be very cut and dry, but in reality it’s not. Then one partner pushes the other away finally, loving the other so much that they just want them to be happy, but they know that happiness won’t come without a price to them. These 2 people obviously care very deeply about each other or else they wouldn't be offering to maintain a friendship. The hardest part in the end, being that his/her past partner will have a new person their life eventually that will be able to be and give what the person doing the breakup couldn’t, and the reality of being selfless and selfish all at the same time. |

No way is this about Newfoundland Independence. It's about a relationship where they just don't know where they went wrong. I think the most empowering line in the song is "and I know the silence, was the loudest thing I ever heard". To love someone, but have nothing to say because you know that things just aren't going to work. To end up walking away because you don't know how to make things right. Sitting on the fence.. "51 to 49" means the decision is really close, and it's hard to draw a definitive direction either way, even though there's no choice. Just wanting to know that maybe there is still a chance!

I think that regardless whether this is political propoganda, I think the song is absolutely brilliant. I think the colours used in the video also help display the meaning in the song. The black and white spilled and mixed on top of each other. I think it's to prove that not everything that happens in any situation is just black or white, there's always a convalusion and when the colours mix, there's always gray. Cheers Abosherpa |
