| Architecture in Helsinki – Maybe You Can Owe Me Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I do see the long distance relationship thing here... well not so much a long distance relationship but there's a girl who lives far away from the guy and he really wants to be with her but she's unsure... or maybe there isn't real physical distance but like metaphorical and she's keeping her "emotional distance" from him and he just really wants to be with her. There's loads of questioning by the speaker which shows how maybe she's a bit distant because when someone you care about starts acting distant to you, you begin to start questioning a lot because you can't read them since they're so cold... so it's like you HAVE to ask to get any sort of insight into what they want. "maybe you can owe me? or should we wait and see?" - I think this bit is the speaker kind of letting the girl know that he wants to be with her but trying to take the rpessure away by saying "maybe" or if she's still unsure he's willing to wait, take it slowly and seeing how it goes because he doesn't want to scare her away as she already seems scared of commitment. "as long as you're open to the possibility, yeah" - he doesnt mind waiting for her, he just wants her to consider it rather than compeltely rejecting the idea of a relationship. "in counting all the minutes 'till July the 1st but you counted all the seconds and it makes you feel worse" - the girl is always living for the future, she isnt content with ehr current situation so she looks ahead for something to look forward to and kind of ignoring whats going on at the moment, thus acting even more distant towards him because when people live in the future they sometimes forget to live in the present and neglect everything going on in it. "I don't wanna be here you just wanna be there" - He doesn't like this emotional distance she's created, he wants to be let in and know her thoughts etc... except she's still thinking about whatever it is ahead she's looking forward to and closing him off... she wants to keep this emotional distance from him because maybe she's been hurt before and is really unsure about relationships or thinks she could end up hurting him which is why she "warns him to beware". She know he cares about her and she cares about him but at this point in her life she's unsure and doesn't want to be forced into a choice, she wants to feel as though she can walk into something and out of it if it doesnt work out without leaving any scratches but she knows that if she gets involved with him and realised that it's jsut not working out and isn't what she wants, she will end up hurting him. "and honey there's no hurry" - he's assuring her that he's in no hurry and he can wait till she's ready to be with him... he just wants her to keep it a possibility and know that he's here for her. "to the room where i'm staying, you can sleep on the floor" - to show that he wants to spend time with her but thers no pressure in that it has to be romantic so she can sleep on the floor... suggesting that he won't take her coming over as anything more than friends hanging out if thats all she wants "halfway through the night can we talk and see?" the repetition of "see?" also links back the the begining when he asks "or should we wait and see?". Now that she's over at his he wants to know if she's thought about the possibility of them being together or what it is she wants because he feels as though he's in "limbo" and he cant read her at all so also he wants to "talk" and get an insight on what she's thinking and feeling and if theres any point of him waiting if it turns out she's decided she firmly jsut wants to be friends. "cos there's no way that i'll sleep when you're near me" - he obviously really cares about her! he respects her doubts and wishes but yet he still really likes her and wants to be with her. there's my take on it! I really feel this way now actually, jsut as I descirbed the girl... thers a guy who really likes me and keeps making so many plans that I'm not scared because I feel like if I decide that I just want to be friends with him it'll totally break his heart, so i jsut want him to slow down as he's gotten way ahead of himself and me... if it turns out i do want to be with him thats cool it's just that I want to get to that point where our feelings for eachother grow TOGETHER, like I want to get to that point together, not have this pressure that it has to work out or else all his expectations wont be met and he'll be so hurt... obviously im open to the possibility but he hasnt seemed to have even considered the possibility that it might not go to his "plan"... he just needs to stop having a plan and see how it turns out! before he used to say "IF we decide blablabla" but now it's "WHEN we". it's just a lot of pressuree... |

| Jonas Brothers – Year 3000 Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Whoever thinks busteds verion is "perverted" are utter PRUDES. I mean the only lyrics that the Jonas brothers changed were mainly the bit about the tripple breasted women swimming around town naked... err thats not bad at all... and the changes the jonas brothers made are so unsubtle, you can totally tell when they sing which lyrics sound totally out of place. Also what is WRONG with saying your great great great granddaughter is "pretty fine"? yeah sure it might be a bit pedo to say that but this song isnt supposed to be serious really is it? and saying who wrote the song must have a "sick twisted mind" o dear... how old are you? like 10? that the normal age for jonas brothers fans right? cause I mean they can't even mention PG 13 stuff in their songs. Im sure life will have so many other shockers to throw at you so if u cant handle the relatively tame busteds version of year 3000, I seriously pity you and encourage you to grow the fuck up. I also agree with that the jonas brothers should write their own stuff... and a lot of you seem to be under the impression that the Jonas brothers write all their own stuff... news flash.. they dont. fair enought hey may write SOME of their songs but they've even said themselves that they only wrote a few of their songs and got with some writers to write others.... so dont be in shock when you find out a song your listening to is not a JONAS BROTHERS ORIGINAL. |

| Jonas Brothers – What I Go To School For Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This Jonas Brothers version is utter CRAP. whats with them and stealing all busteds songs? and not just remaking them but changing the lyrics and making it sound totally stupid... especially THIS song... I mean this song was written about Matt from busted crush on his teacher and has actual meaning to him but the bloody Jonas Brothers didnt EVEN go to school they were homeschooled so basically this song has no real relavence to them whatsoever... and they dont sing it very well either... and err only one of them is a freshman... also song of the lyrics they changed makes no sense at all. "I guess that's why my marks are getting so high" why would a senior girl liking a freshman make his marks go higher? if anything the crush would be a distraction... it makes sense with the teacher scenario because she is the one ACTUALLY giving the marks. so yeah jonas brothers are crap reallly, just with their pure layiness and calling busted a "stupid band" while being a jonas brothers fan is lame too because they're the ones stealing busteds songs and making them fit for 5 year olds... laters. |

| Secondhand Serenade – Vulnerable Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I agree with the seen sex idea.. thats the thing that came to mind when i listen to it... like about them being all awkward and nevous about losing their virginity and leaving themselves vulnerable because u do feel vulnerable that first time... like giving yourself to someone and going into things and experiencing things that you've never gone into before, something new and you get scared and nerous cause you're not sure what to do since you're not all that experienced. the "Share with me the blankets that you're wrapped in" would also make sense with this idea... like i remeber with my first time I felt scared and nervous and totally vulnerable because if was a big deal and my finger tips were shaking and it was all awkward because I felt so unexperienced and wasn't sure what I was doing or if I should have been doing that in the first place. that giving urself up to someone you love makes u feel compeltely vulnerable and exposed. so yeah I think that fits with this song aswell. |

| Taylor Swift – I'd Lie Lyrics | 18 years ago |

Awh I can totally relate to this song :). "First thought when I wake up is My God, he's beautiful So I put on my make-up and pray for a miracle" I love that line... it's like when she wakes up he's her first thought so she puts make up in order to make herself prettier and makes an effort with the way she looks for him because she hopes one day he'll open his eyes notice and think "god she's beautiful" and want to be with her :) and see's her as more than a friend. x |

| Taylor Swift – Cold as You Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song definatly reminds me of me and a close friend I had that turned into a lover... I loved and adored him so much because we begun as close friends but then when we became lovers it was all good for a while until suddenly he changed.... I kept trying to reach him and talk like we used to but he became really uncommuinicative and i think it's cause he regretted sleeping together and felt guilty etc... I'd want him to talk to me like we had done when we were just friends and just spend time together and have fun and for him to assure me and make me feel happy that the choice to become lovers and give myself to him was the right thing to do and that he cared for me... I begun to feel as though he didn't care for me and that he wasnt even treating me as a friend cause he'd be so cold and distant... so whenever we'd spend time together or speak it would be like I was always getting mad at him and starting fights in order to provoke a reaction to proove to myself that there was emotion within him... it then became exhausting and I was upset with myself and kept blamimg myself for the way things were because I thought it had been MY overreacting and that I shouldn't have always been so angry and having a go at him all the time... i should have just chilled out... I'd cry and get upset cause I thought that he didn't care about me even as a friend and i felt like i couldnt get through to him... like how she mentions int he song - he had walls up and this wasn't what i was used to so it would sadden me since before the realtionship begun he was so open with his feelings toward me etc... I just wanted for him to be open to me... tell me insignificnt things about what was on his mind... just anythinggg so show that we still had our connection! grrr.... but it turned out ok in the end... those few months jsut really upset me and shook me up but even now we aren't as close as we were initially but he's not cold as he was during those months... | |
| Pink – Who Knew Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Ok I know you all won't agree with my interpretation but I think interpretations of songs don't have to be EXACTLY what it was meant to mean by the artist... well my take on this is that it is about 2 really close friends - a girl and a guy... the guy tells the girl that he has feelings for her and she is unsure because it's so out of the blue and sudden and doesn't want to ruin their friendship by doing things with him that may make it awkward as she already feels awkward and shy by doing them…and things that they may regret but the guy assures her that it'll all be ok and it won't ruin their friendship at all because he cares about her and she believes everything he tells her and they go for it and they end up losing their virginity to each other even though she is still unsure and worried since she is insecure of her feelings and how those actions will affect their friendship... but he continues to reassure her and promises that it'll be ok because he loves her. They keep it up for a while and she begins to have strong feelings for him as she become more secure with the relationship but then he starts to drift away and their friendship changes – like they can’t talk to each other like they did before and it becomes awkward… everything she was worried about came true even though he told her it wouldn’t turn out that way… he decides that he was wrong when he said that he felt that way about her and they end it - although she still loves him and is hurt because their friendship was ruined… she lost a friend and feels as though he went back on his word but hopes that they’re friendship could be repaired one day as she valued it so much... basically sex ruined their friendship. here is my breakdown: “You took my hand, you showed me how” = (took her hand by assuring it would be ok and leading her by kissing her etc and showing her that it was all fine… leading her through sex etc cause they were virgins and didn’t know what they were doing…) You promised me you'd be around = (he promised that their friendship wouldn’t be ruined and that he'll always be there for her because he really did care for her) "I took your words, and I believed, in everything you said to me” (She took his word and trusted him that it would all work out fine even though she wasn’t so sure herself.) “If someone said three years from now you’d be long gone etc…I know better cause you said forever” = she believes that it’ll work out because he’s such a close friend and trusts him so much and what he told her, she doesn’t doubt that he was truthful when he said “forever” and thinks that she knows better than others cause she knows him better than they do… “Remember when we were such fools, and so convinced and just too cool = (reminiscing of their friendship before their relationship) ”I wish I could touch you again, I wish I could still call you friend, I'd give anything” = (She still loves him and wishes he still felt the same way about her but also wishes they could go back to being close friends and stating that she’d give anything for that suggests it was something she treasured a lot.) “I was all wrong, They knew better…Still you said forever” = (She was wrong by believing what he said by the relationship not ruining their friendship and that others that commented on how it wouldn’t work out… but she mentions how even though they said that, the guy told her it would be “forever” and that is what she trusted because she loved him as a lover and a close friend and is somewhat disappointed and hurt that he didn’t stick to his word and how it didn’t work out how she wanted it to or how he said it would. “That last kiss, I'll cherish until we meet again” = (she’ll cherish that last kiss until they meet again because their lives have become separated but she hopes to reconcile their friendship) ”And time makes It harder…I wish I could remember” = ( time makes it harder because the longer they spend apart not being friends or keeping in touch… the harder it is to put that friendship back together… it’s like when you lose touch with a close friend, when you bump into them again years later it can sometimes be hard to reconnect with them as you both lead different lives with different sets of friends and the longer you spend apart from each other the further apart you drift until you can’t really call each other friends and the person just becomes a whole new person that you don’t know because you’re just not close anymore “But I keep your memory, you visit me in my sleep” = (she saying that even though time makes it harder for them to get back to being friends again and that they don’t communicate as much as she’d like… she still thinks about him cause he meant a lot to her and visiting her in her sleep could refer to her having dreams about them being friends etc… “Who knew” = (just refers to like who knew that it would end up this way?) ”My darling I miss you” (calling him her darling shows that she cares and loves him and she just states how she misses him, what they had together and their closeness and most importantly his friendship.) sorry for the long explanation on my views of this song… but it means a lot to me haha… you guys can disagree with things I’ve said but it’s just another way to look at the song. x |

| Anberlin – A Day Late Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
awh love this song... I think it's about a guy and a girl who were friends and they both had mutual feelings for eachother but never told eachother... then when the girl tells him how she felt and how she still feels - it's much too late as they both got over it and have new boyfriends and girlfriends... it shows that you grab every oppurtunity and not be afraid to let people know how you feel and wait around for the other person to make the first move - ye should just go for it cause that way you regret nothing... if you are passive about it then years from now it will come up in a conversation and you'll find out they felt the same way but the situation has changed and you should have gone for it when you both were single because now you're different people and have commitments. so yeah if you like someone go for it instead of spending years wandering - "what if", it's a waste of time.. :) xxxxxx |

| Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly – War Of The Worlds Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
oh gosh why hasn't this been commented?? well I guess this song is about a relationship where suddenly the girl has gotten busy with stupid things and the other person keeps putting effort in to try and spend some time with her but she's much too busy for them and kind of forgets and neglects their relationship/friendship. Thye haven't spoken in ages and when like someone keeps trying to hold thigns together and puts effort in without getting anything in return they kind of give up because it should be a 2 way thing... why bother to put any effort in for someone who won't for you? It's also saying that when the person stops being so busy they won't always be there when they actually need them - people aren't just there for the time when you need them, you should be there for them too. so after all the neglect the relationship drifts apart without her realising and when she actually has time they won't be there - people can wait, but they can't stand around waiting forever. well thats just my take on it.... it reminds me of how I can be soemtimes with my guy best friend... I get really busy with waitressing and work and often have to let him down even when I haven't seen or spoken to him in ages.. since we stud at different places and live a little while away from eachother... when i heard this song it hit me and i felt so bad that i was neglecting hi and it really hit me when I had to let him down cause i had a shift he said "aw... we never spend time together anymore.." after all that I made sure I made lots of effort because you don't realise things or know how much things mean to you until you miss them or lose them. sorry for the life story! deffs a brilliant song xxxxx |
