| The Fray – We Build Then We Break Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song seems to be about a vengeful friend/boyfriend threatening someone who hurt a girl very important to him. It has kind of creepy, mysterious sound to it. |

| Avenged Sevenfold – Chapter Four Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Some of these lyrics are incorrect. (Internal man, punishment too great to bare) should be "Infernal man, punishment too great to bear." And then it's out of the "sight" of the One, not "site." But I love that this is from the book of Genesis. An epic song, most definitely. |

| Fall Out Boy – 27 Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
catycaty- I think that it means that it's ironic that we keep ourselves in places where we don't want to be, where we aren't comfortable, but our actions and appearances keep us there anyway. But of course, that's me. And like every Fall Out Boy song, there isn't just one meaning to it. |

| Fall Out Boy – What a Catch, Donnie Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think it's intriguing that they use lyrics from other albums and "Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown On a Bad Bet." I wonder what the significance is of using lines from another song on the album? |

| A Change of Pace – I'm Alive Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think it's about sleeping with someone and thinking that you'll be together forever and then as you grow up, realizing that sleeping with them was a mistake and that you have go separate ways sometimes. He loved her, but now he's moved on. | |
| Fall Out Boy – Hum Hallelujah Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
We listened to this song in my Morality class in connection with society's skewed view of sex. "You're someone who knows someone who knows someone I once knew and I just want to be a part of this."Everybody's doing it, so I should be, too. "I thought I loved you, it was just how you looked in the light."The general confusion between lust and love."A teenage vow in a parking lot, "'Til tonight do us part.""An obvious twist of part of the vows of marriage, this line shows how some teenagers take sex, a normally intimate and binding act, and confine it to one-night stands."I sing the blues, and swallow them, too."Blue pills, Viagra, anybody? Kind of evidences the preoccupation with conforming to standards of sexual prowess. "I love you in the same way There's a chapel in a hospital One foot in your bedroom And one foot out the door Sometimes we take chances Sometimes we take pills" The line about "a chapel in a hospital" could mean desparation, a last ditch attempt to get "in" with the higher power, either God, or Peer Pressure. "One foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door" says it's not a real committment, it's just for now. "Sometimes we take chances, sometimes we take pills," could mean unprotected sex versus sex with birth control pills or abortifacients. The general reference to the Cohen "Hallelujah" song is reminiscent of that song's theme as well. David and Bathsheba were adulterous and driven by lust. The best thing about FOB songs is that can be interpreted many different ways, so this is in no way the only possible meaning of this song. It is simply one that fits both the song and the unit we were covering in Morality. Such a good, catchy song, too! |

I definitely agree that this song is about sex and I agree with the earlier poster that said that they probably shouldn't being doing it. Maybe the relationship was a little taboo but he's still addicted to her. I always thought the line was: "What makes me want to shake you down?" But I suppose I could be wrong. This is a great song and one of the best AAR songs I've heard. |

| The Fray – How To Save A Life Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
One of the several meanings in this song is that the narrator is a friend of a girl who is in a relationship that is going badly. She seems to have been extremely patient with her boyfriend but he doesn't really listen to her. She doesn't want to let it go, but the spark is gone. "He smiles politely back at you, you stare politely right on through." The politely implies that they've fought and/or that things just are exciting anymore and it's barely worth fighting for anymore, but the girl is going to try. I think the narrator wants to help her and shield her from the inevitable broken heart but he doesn't know how and kind of distances himself from her. "And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night, Had I known how to save a life." |

| The Fray – Little House Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This a beautiful song and one of The Fray's more..."musically diverse" songs. It employs the guitars and such as well as the singer's voice and the piano. I think the contrast in this song makes it one of the best songs on this album. Plus his voice is wonderful at the beginning and not squeaky as it gets in some of the other songs. | |
| The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus – Grim Goodbye Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song seems to be about general confusion in life, a time when everything is overwhelming and you feel like you are suffocating on everything. It's a very good song. The whispered "Tell me what you see" gives me chills everytime. I like the guitar parts as well. The contrasts between soft and loud are very fitting of this song. |

| Franz Ferdinand – Take Me Out Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Just because the duke didn't have time to contemplate on his dead wife or to have a long coherent thought process as he was dying doesn't mean that a song couldn't be written about what the man might have felt. I definitely enjoy the historic undertone in this especially for such "minor" event that became so pivotal. It certainly is an interesting basis for a song. Even so, the historical meaning probably isn't the only one intended. Sexual tension or unrequited love are definitely other interpretations. There is never one simple meaning for a good song. Most teenagers can identify with the common meanings of tension and rejection but those who know a bit about European history will certainly appreciate the tint of here. This is honestly the only Franz Ferdinand song I've ever listened to all the way through and I really enjoy. I think it's a very intelligent song and I must say that I /really/ enjoy that guitar riff. This has got to be my favorite song in Guitar Hero (yeah, I know I'm a nerd). |
