| Dashboard Confessional – Get Me Right Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this song is about someone who relapsed or is struggling with their addiction and is trying to "get right" by reaching out to his Higher Power and/or someone in a 12 step program. He's talking about 'the saving type' - the people in these programs are taught to put others first and always try and help a still suffering addict. I can relate, especially to the last verse, because when I got into recovery I struggled so much with the 'Higher Power' concept and it held me back for so long. Clearly that verse is about a struggle between his belief in a HP and his disease of addiction. "I made my slow way home Limpin' on broken bones Out of the thickest pine Onto the county lines Onto your wooden stairs I know you can repair I know you've seen the light I know you'll get me right Right" - Great imagery for coming out of active addiction. I heard it described once as the "thick forests of addiction, where one can easily lose ones way between all the trees and be completely lost". Clearly he is 'crawling' back to someone in recovery, who has 'seen the light' and will help him overcome this addiction. "I own a sinner's heart I know the rain falls hard I know the currency I know the things you'll need I hope He hears my prayers I see you cut your hair I know the saving type I know you get me right Right" - Again talking about active addiction with his 'sinners heart'. I think currency and things you'll need are references to the 'ways and means' to get drugs. Currency as a literal reference- $. And 'things youll need' - drug paraphernalia. I won't go into further detail lest I upset someone. He starts to talk about his struggle with his Higher Power "I hope he hears my prayers" and then goes back to his 'friend' in the program who will 'get him right' "Oh Jesus, I've fallen I don't mind the rain if I meet my maker, I meet my maker clean, but Jesus, the truth is i've struggled so hard to believe i'll meet my maker, i need my maker" "I'll meet my maker CLEAN" - Narcotics Anonymous uses the word 'CLEAN' to describe abstinence from all drugs including alcohol, as opposed to just 'sober' (abstinence from alcohol only). He is struggling with his belief in a Higher Power, but the program requires he surrender to something in order to stay clean. "And drain me of the sins i love Take from me my disbelief I know it should come easily But it remains inside of me It battles and devours me It cuddles up beside of me In whispers, it convinces me I'm Right" I think this verse is clearly about fighting your own addiction. The imagery describes so well the battle that takes place inside an addicts mind when you try to stop using that I can't believe it's about anything else.

| I think this song is about fighting an addiction. Spirituality VS an unstoppable force. | |
| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Don't Forget Me Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"not alone" "more will be revealed" "coming to believe" are all AA/NA recovery-related phrases. My take is that this song is about being in love with someone who is in active addiction, but you are in recovery, and waiting for them to come join you clean and sober. You wish you could be their addiction instead of the drugs, or at least the light to pull them out of it. |

| The A-b Theory – Ataraxia Lyrics | 16 years ago |

First comment? This song rocks. Pretty sure most of this album is about addiction; this song is no different. How the drugs were more important to him than his girlfriend? "Is it so wrong that this makes me feel complete? The ocean swallows every bad memory To watch you die, love, ignoring all your pleas Hitting the bottom, I missed your drab heart beat" |

| U2 – Moment Of Surrender Lyrics | 17 years ago |

oh btw it's not At the moment of surrender I flooded to my knees I did not notice the passers-by And they did not notice me It is: At the moment of surrender I FOLDED to my knees I did not notice the passers-by And they did not notice me |
|
| U2 – Moment Of Surrender Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| To me, this song is about accepting an addiction. "Surrender" is commonly referred to by people in 12-step programs as the "1st step". The ATM machine line is awesome, like he's taking money out for drugs and realizes what his life has become. | |
| Fall Out Boy – Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
- Here's my take on that trouble verse: " Little girl you've got me staring ?on? Or was it just a telescopic camera ?nigh? P-p-p-painted dolls in the highway truck stop stalls Lot of lizards scales, girl you lie ?by any means? All the rookies leave your badge and your gun on the desk when you leave the room " - I really think it sounds like "on" and "nigh" with the vocal booster, before I put it through the vocal booster I thought it sounded like "now" and "eye", which even I agree seems to make more sense, but it just really sounds like "on", "nigh" - I also definitely think it's "IMperfect boys with their perfect ploys" after running it through a vocals booster.. - Definitely says "FOR another shot at life", again I ran it through a vocals booster which made it quite clear |

Idk about my favorite kitty4life, I don't think I can decide yet on a favorite it's wayy too early. Glad I like this so much though, I didn't really like Infinity On High that much. I think it's: Got my degree In the daughter ?my broken? In the dorms of the ivy league (I originally thought it was "ive broken" which makes a whole lot more sense but after changing the equalizer to boost the vocals and make them clearer: definitely sounds like "my broken"... ????) |

| Jack's Mannequin – Bloodshot Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think vball made some great points, but I also think smoking marijuana is a large part of the song. It wouldn't be the first and won't be the last time that Andrew will put elements of smoking in his work (solo and SoCo). I obviously think the title and the talk about looking into his bloodshot eyes, plus the repeated use of the word high, are more than enough example of this. I think that the song is about how life is depressing and sad, and a constant struggle, but about how smoking weed relieves that stress and somehow makes everything beautiful. This is why I think the lyrics are very dark and depressing like vBall described, but the music is so uplifting and beautiful just like the sun rising "the sky is on fire". Personally, no matter what crazy shit is going on in my life, waking up and watching the sun rise while smoking a bowl or joint or blunt is amazing, it clears my head and is a nice time to plan out my day and mentally prepare for it all. You guys can have your meanings, but for me- that is what this song reminds me of. I also visualize this sunrise on a beach, since skyscapes are rarely as amazing as in the middle of the summer on the beach, smoking a joint just by yourself watching it from right on the beach, the sky does look like its on fire sometimes, the reds and oranges and pinks eating up the darkness of night. |

Uhm the song meaning is pretty self-explanatory. The CIA told us Iraq had Nuclear Weapons. They were wrong. They let us (America) down, created death and destruction, and fractured the American people. Dont you ever let us down, CIA. Duhhhhh. |

Very angry.. this whole cd seems to be about a breakup (shocker i know)... but he goes through stages where hes angry and wants to commit suicide or regretful he didnt do something else or finally comes to terms (bye bye baby) and just to piss Matthew off... JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! |

| Circa Survive – Living Together Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song kicks ass, obviously. CORRECT LYRICS: It starts out like a season in reverse A way to set your mind above and over words Attached means identity Erases things so how can we record? Distress call code-word is "I wanna live" He makes it up as he goes and it goes away To places he can only hide in other peoples' minds He makes it up as he goes It goes away Your rational mind's insane Taste the sound you make The light from the sun The story that never gets old The light from the sun is your mother Attached means identity Erases things so why should we? Distress call code-word is "I wanna live" He makes it up as he goes, it goes away To places he can only hide in other peoples' minds He makes it up as he goes With an effortless smile you prevade to me And in-between aisles They would say you stare to see With an effortless smile you prevade to me Always in-between aisles optimistic daring me Would you trade your soul for gold? Would you trade your soul? Would you trade? |

| Bright Eyes – Classic Cars Lyrics | 18 years ago |

^ I agree, but I think that the entire song in itself is about him learning from a woman he was with. Even though she was fake ("she would lie about where she's from"), and lived "life how it is not how it was" he still learned a lot from her. ("I learned to listen, felt like I was back in high school") I think it's about no matter where you are in life and what you think is going on, you can always learn from anyone else, however unlikely that may be. The only part that get's me is the end, I can't figure out where the last line fits in, even tho its a great piece of advice. Maybe that's what she taught him? Idk enough guesswork for me. |

THIS SONG KICKS ASS. But those lyrics are way off... Where do I see the light It's all gone dead in a way Cos more or less and get on by My made up thing on the day Oh Lord can a stone Be ballest for an aching soul Just learning how to know your mind No hiding out on the way back To get out before I'm feeling You just blow them all away It's eighties life But it all looks good on you Suddenly police run out And hope is found in a sound Cos I don't want to live a war That's got no end in our time Call it living in this country Calling it missing dawn patrol It's eighties life And it's all gone right on you |

|
You've got me pinned against this barbed wire fence, While my rust stains begin to bleed The colour red mixed with the blues in my pants While my white hands try to write me free I'm tired of drawing our lies I'm tired of wasting words that keep me locked inside I want to say how much your love has pushed me away Maybe it's better off this More hits have hit me then the radio time I been told that she's one away My kicks have kicked me then the chorus line And these bruises just seem to stay I'm tired of drawing our lies I'm tired of wasting words that keep me locked inside I want to say how much your love has pushed me away Maybe it's better off this way Its all running again Pumping fumes through my head She's calling me out to go again All running again Pumping fumes through my head She's calling me out to go again I'm tired of drawing our lies I'm tired of wasting words that keep me locked inside I want to say how much your love has pushed me away Your love has pushed me away Maybe it's better off this way |
