| Metric – Combat Baby Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
You can look at the song in two ways; domestically, where she has a love to hate relationship with her partner and the fights are actually something they enjoyed. Now he's gone she misses them and can't seem to get anyone to argue with her in that way. The second way you can look at is is about war. Her boyfriend gone off to war maybe, and she's praying for him to be ok so she'll get him back. I get that idea from the video. Either way, it's so upbeat and makes you feel motivated! |

| Metric – The Twist Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I totally just chill out to this song, listen to the bass line in the chorus it flows so nicely with the rest of the song. Looking from the outside in, if I wasn't such a huge fan of Metric I reckon I'd find this song pretty weird, but I'm hooked and I can definitely appreciate the beauty of it. My favourite bit is when she goes "without having to watch him go, oh" no idea why, i just have to sing that bit out loud |

| Metric – Soft Rock Star Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| this song is bladdy good thats for sure. Emily Haines is talented to be able to sing a chorus that high. I think it's about being famous for a short period of time but then being thrown out of the limelight for the next big thing. | |
| Paramore – Fences Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think that it's about a celeb in rehab in the first verse, and when they go there they have to pretend they're doing it for themselves, cause they want to, thus generating more publicity for themselves. She's also saying how they're all fake and I think I perhaps agree with the eating disorder thing as well, cause most celebs have one! not that I'm being stereotypical or anything. |

| Broken Social Scene – Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I agree with the majority here, this song is about a girl growing up, deciding to change and leaving her best friend(s). I almost wish this song had a happy ending. I reckon everyone can relate to it at some point in their life, whether 17 or not! | |

| The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus – Seventeen Ain't So Sweet Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| this song is about a girl thats having a rough time, but despite what's happening to her life, she isn't letting it get her down, she's a strong girl, and she finally wants to break out of it and be heard, she's determined to be listened to, and this guy believes she can do that. | |
| The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus – Face Down Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song is so good, and the meaning is so simple, but it sends shivers down me because it makes me think of my friend, and i'd do anything to protect her. I love these guys, they're just so real, and this song demonstrates that they actually sing about real issues in the world. It's a song of hope. | |
| Regina Spektor – That Time Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i adore this song and i agree that it is about her reminiscing, but then when her significant other OD's, she is reminding him of the fun times... but this song introduced me to regina and its my fave. fave line being "remember that time that i would only smoke marlboros" |

| Katy Rose – Because I Can Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I love this song so much, because I can relate to it entirely. She's referring to how you daydream about how you wish things could be, and how when she trips, of course you can forget all your trouble. | |

| The La's – There She Goes Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I like this song, cause you don't have to think too much to understand the meaning (regardless of whether you choose to believe it is about drugs, or a girl, which it's perfectly plausible that it could mean either). I think it's an uplifting song that is great to sing along to. | |
| Sixpence None the Richer – Kiss Me Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Okay, everyone is allowed to interpret this song however they like, so if you want it to be about lesbians, it's about lesbians! If you want it to be about drugs, it's about drugs! That's the beauty of a song, it can be ANYTHING you want it to be, cause everyone has a unique and personal image in their head that a song creates! So, for all of you bigots who are saying "ah well, don't be stupid, of COURSE it's not about lesbians or drugs you ridiculous people (or something along those lines)" then shush! Don't shatter peoples images. They are simply voicing how they interpret this song, and they can do that any which way they like, just as you can do, too. Wow, some of you people are so uptight. Just cause someone says they THINK (which is opinionated) that it could be about lesbian/drugs, doesn't mean you have to go around calling people names or making assumptions. Geez it's no reason to get so worked up, it's a song. |

CamikilaBloodQueen (apologies if I got your username incorrect) I agree totally with all you have to say. I think you have a great head on your shoulders. As for this song, well, rather than actually commenting on what it means it's turned into some kind of war about homophobia. I'm not going to explain the song cause I think it's self explanatory, however, if you hate the song and the lyrics...umm..why did you search them on here??? Surely you have something better to do with your lives rather than waste time on things you DON'T ACTUALLY LIKE |

I don't think this is song is so much about love, but more infatuation with a person, from her day to life, whom she doesn't know all that well. I'll explain why I get this impression. [I should be much too smart for this] this implies that she shouldn't be getting involved in things like infatuations, she knows exactly what is happened, she knows she is infatuated, but alas, what can any person do about it?Also, when infatuated, a person loses all control. Their life begins to revolve around that person, forgetting about things such as their own self respect, because they are too clouded by this feelings. [I'm practicing your name so I can say it to your face It doesn't seem right, to look you in the eye Let all the things you mean to me Come tumbling out my mouth Indeed it's time to tell you why I say it's infinitely true] This appears to fit in too, the fact that she is practicising this persons name, shows that maybe she is a little bit nervous when she sees him, she wants to maybe talk to him, but doesn't want to mess up. This is the kind of infatuation which makes your heart race, makes you go weak and shaky at the knees, (fooling you into thinking this is love) but then leaves you feeling much too awkward/nervous to say anything. Also, she thinks it seems wrong to tell this person of her feelings, because of the fact she doesn't know them very well at all, and it wouldn't make sense, and yet, she feel she cannot lie. [sway my way, yeah I need to know] although she knows she shouldn't confess her feelings, she can't help wondering, "what if?" she has to find out for sure if this can happen. [there's no cure, and no way to be sure] If anyone has ever had an infatuation with a person, more than once, you recognise the feeling, and you're thinking "Sh*t, I can't let this happen again," but there is no way to fight it; no cure. And it makes you feel tired and uninspired, because you know it's happening again and you know you're going to be messed up over this person, but what's there to do? [My head is battling with my heart My logic has been torn apart] This refers to her knowing that she has an infatuation. As typical infatuation goes, her heart is telling her that she is in love with the person. But her head, which is trying to think logically, is saying "no way, you don't know this person, it's NOT love." [And now it all turns sour] this could probably be the fact that this person doesn't appear to feel the same, perhaps doesn't even know her? [It's all because of you] This is self explanitory! I think the rest sort of explains itself. Of course I could be totally wrong, but this appears to make sense to me, and anyone who has been infatuated with someone who they don't know hardly at all, and yet feels they are in love, will know what I am talking about! Sorry it's long! |

| Athlete – Wires Lyrics | 19 years ago |

I totally see the meaning about the newborn baby in this song, but as someone has previously said, I interpret it in my own way and prefer to believe that it is about a loved one in hospital, for a possible suicide attempt [dry blood on your wrist] whom he's shared many wondeful times with [I've seen christmas lights, reflect in your eyes] and who he absolutely has to get to. I feel the desperation in his voice when he sings the lines [got to get to you, got to see this through] and it sends absolute chills through me. I can picture a guy running in slow-mo down a corridor, dashing through doors in his haste. It's such a deep song, and I know that in fact this song is about the baby, but that's just the way I prefer to view it! Maybe this is because although I can't relate exactly to the loved-one-suicide-attempt idea, I can relate to it more than the baby idea. |
