| Nightwish – Amaranth Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
If you've seen the music video (which is awesome), it becomes clear that this song is about seeing the good in a bad situation, about finding hope in even the worst problems. In the video, there is an angel who seems to have lost her eyes-- inferred from the blood dripping out of them-- and a teenage boy saves her and takes her back to his village. When he gets there, though, an older man (possibly his father) drags him away and burns the hut in which the angel is sitting. In the end, her soul flies away. To me, this says that the father is a lot wiser than his son: he knows that the way to get the angel back to heaven is to burn the hut. But the boy is more compassionate, because he wants to help her and treat her like a human being. This is apparent in the first verse--he doesn't want to be alone anymore. Also, in the second verse, the 'war between him and the day' symbolizes the conflict between him and his father, and 'little he can do alone' means that without his father, the angel would not have gotten back-- but there is still some conflict. As for the pre-chorus and chorus: You believe but what you see: This shows that the boy chooses to see the angel as just a girl, and so doesn't believe his father is right about hurting her. But since the father sees her as an angel, he is able to help her. You recieve but what you give: Standard old adage, seeming to promise hope for the boy because he was so nice to the angel. Caress the one, the Never-Fading Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak The never-fading rain refers to the boy's unhappiness, and is symbolized by the angel's predicament. But the 'hiding amaranth' represents hidden hope-- the way to save the angel is to kill her. Think about that for a minute. And by putting them in parallel construction, the song shows that beauty and pain can coexist, but in the end, hope wins out. You just have to find the amaranth. |

| Taking Back Sunday – MakeDamnSure Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
You've got this new head Filled up with smoke I've got my veins all tangled close To those jukebox bars you frequent They're the safest place to hide He's watching his girlfriend change, and he isn't sure how he feels about it. He's kinda posessive, so he's afraid she might cheat or something. A long night spent with your most obvious weaknesses You start shaking at the thought You are everything I want Because you are everything I'm not He's saying that she is a bit insecure (that's why she is changing), but he thinks she is perfect the way she is. And we lay, we lay together Just not too close, too close (How close is close enough?) And we lay, we lay together Just not too close, too close (How close is close enough?) I get most of the lyrics, but the chorus drove me crazy trying to figure out wat it means. first time i heard it, i just got the chorus and i thought it was a sweet little luv song. reminded me of my boyfriend a bit. he doesnt want to get too close for her, b/c she is a virgin and all. I just wanna break you down so badly I trip over everything you say I just wanna break you down so badly In the worst way but then again, she's hot and he's horny. "bring you down" could mean devirginating her. My inarticulate store bought Hanvgover hobby kit it talks It says 'You, oh, you are so cool' Scissor shaped across the bed You are red, violent red You hollow out my hungry eyes You hollow out my hungry eyes see, this goes along with the whole frantic virginal lust thing. she's a bit rough with him. i know i am ;) but also, it goes with the beginning- how she's changing. maybe she wasn't like that before- maybe being with him has changed her. I'm gonna make damn sure That you can't ever leave No you won't ever get too far from me You won't ever get too far from me again, he's posessive and scared she'll leave him. that's what i think anyway. but i may be wrong. hope it helps ^_^ |

this is not sexism, its true- boys do tend to be more confrontational i like how he's blaming his girlfriend's dad for her issues, that is something i could never think of myself. what i didnt understand was "The GOD and the weight of her world? " just like herbivore. |

| Stone Sour – Through Glass Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
woa! i just had a revelation and i logged on here to share with yall. wasnt that nice of me? i think hes talking to himself as a teenager. I'm looking at you through the glass... (time) Don't know how much time has passed Oh god it feels like forever (obviously, it seems like he was that young forever ago) But no one ever tells you that forever Feels like home sitting all alone inside your head its almost like thru the whole song hes giving advice to his former self, in some alternate thought pattern that only makes sense if you try not to think about it. maybe its for all the kids out there that remind him of him, but i think its just introspective. he blames the stars alot, maybe it has to do with time. And while your outside looking in Describing what you see Remember what your staring at is me and Before you tell yourself Its just a different scene Remember its just different from what you've seen i think that part means he is asking himself to step back, look at wat you have become, and please dont judge me. it totally connects with his suicide attempt, which probly came from his disappointment in himself (When thought came from the heart\It never did right from the start) so i think the whole idea of looking at yourself throuhg the glass is awesome. |

omg this song is sooooooooo fuckin sad! and it 4 some reason reminds me of narnia... go figure. i think its about growing up and we cant ever go back. its sayin when all the makebelieve is over theres the 'last unicorn'- or a shadow of the past that we look back on and it seems to mock us. |

|
| Dio – Holy Diver Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i almost agree with bilnit but the song is random and confusing for a reason- its like in that britney spears commercial where shes bein a slut and theres a bunch of random images bc tht makes it hypnotizing. like an acid trip or something and trying 2 drown ur fear/sadness/watever in drugs. | |
| Chevelle – The Red Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| for some reason this song reminds me of vampire/werewolf stories. | |
| Lostprophets – Rooftops Lyrics | 18 years ago |

| Incubus – Dig Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
So when weakness turns my ego up I know you'll count on the me from yesterday. a friend or gf that helps u thru it and still believes u can be who u used 2 be. If I turn into another dig me up from under what is covering the better part of me. reference 2 depression Sing this song remind me that we'll always have each other When everything else is gone. she will always be there no matter wat. this song is about some depressed dude and the girl he luvs. the forgiveness thing- she left him in the past but came back, i gues. and the "someone who digs at us" is our best friend or mom or girrlfriend who is tryin 2 help, sometimes it gets under our skin but we really do need someone 2 get under our skin bc tht is the only way 2 let them in is if they let themselves in. |

| Chevelle – Well Enough Alone Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| why do we leave well enough alone? this is soo about how there are certain ppl in the world (like most ppl i know) tht are not doing well. they dont really try, they think its just fine and dandy and leave it the way it is. so they do drugs and have sex etc, not really thinking they can stop, not wanting to improve it. like they want to but somehow cannot get motivated. so like the song says they think they are doing okay, not thriving but at least surviving and they dont think there makin it any worse but they are. and this song says tht leaving well enuf alone cannot fix nething. its hard 2 explain... | |
| Puddle of Mudd – Blurry Lyrics | 18 years ago |

| Green Day – Extraordinary Girl Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| damn this song is depressing, it reminds me of certain ppl who are in a relationship but should not be. (you know who you are). its like he is goin out with her but she feels lonely neway bc she thinks he doesnt luv her but he really does, he just cant show it | |
| Aerosmith – Dream On Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| well, obviously this says life is now and we have 2 live now, not wish we were somewhere else or watever. this song is great, but it makes me cry. a lot of great songs do tht... i guess its just bc its not 4ever, ya know? especially when u hang out w/ rough ppl and they could be gone any minute. | |

| Trapt – Headstrong Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I love this song its so fuckin awesome. And it reminds me of this dude I know who I have a long story bout but I will try and shorten it up 4yall. We were @ a par-tay and he had just broke up w/ his gf, also one of my friends, and so he put his arm around my waist and started flirtin w/ me, his ex looked like she was gonna cry! I felt so bad, but I really do like him. And he can b sweet… that was a tangent… | |

| John Mayer – Daughters Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
these lyrics are so far off its not even funny, here arethe real ones. or at least closer. I know a girl she puts the color inside of my world but she's just like a maze where all of the walls all continually change I've done all i can to stand on the steps with my heart in my hands Now im starting to see maybe its got nothing to do with me. so fathers be good to your daughters, daughters will love like you do, girls become lovers who turn into mothers so mothers be good to your daughters too. Oh Oh you see that skin its the same shes been standing in since the day she saw him walkin away now shes left cleanin up the mess he made. so fathers be good to your daughters, daughters will love like you do, yeah girls become lovers who turn into mothers so mothers be good to your daughters too. good as you can be you find out how much they can take boys will be strong and boys soldier on but boys would be gone without warmth of a woman's good good heart on behalf of every man looking out for every girl you are the god and the weight of her world so fathers be good to your daughters, daughters will love like you do, girls become lovers who turn into mothers so mothers be good to your daughters too so mothers be good to your daughters too so mothers be good to your daughters too |

this is a sex song Crowded streets are cleared away One by one crowded streets=the clutter in your brain, you take tht away and all thts left is yr personality, ties in w/ the line show me how defenseless u really are Hollow heroes separate As they run hollow heroes= ideals, stuff we believe in but is possibly not real. right now he is stripping them both down to their hearts, just who they really are is showing. You're so cold, Keep your hand in mine this new you is scared, but we will face this 2gether Wise men wonder while strong men die world turning upside down, emotions have taken over, classic sex song thing Show me how it ends, it's alright Show me how defenseless you really are Satisfied and empty inside That's alright Lets give this another try as in, let me in, i promise i wont hurt u If you find no family, Don't you cry if what u find inside yrself isnt enuf, u can have me In this land of make believe, Dead and dry who r we kidding neway You're so cold but you feel alive Lay your hands on me One last time u r holding yrself back from me, just give in and let me hold u Show me how it ends, it's alright im scared 2, dont know wts gonna happen 2 us Show me how defenseless you really are show me yr real self Satisfied and empty inside That's alright Lets give this another try just stay w/me, i cant guarantee things will b ok but i will try Show me how it ends, it's alright Show me how defenseless you really are Satisfied and empty inside That's alright Lets give this another try (It's Alright) repeat x9 tryin 2 convince himself it will be ok |

| Linkin Park – Breaking The Habit Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i luv ths song, it reminds me of a story i wrote... about the russian mafia, lol. neway, its all about somee dude who really fucked up his life and himself, and he doesnt think he can get better, it reminds me of sooo many ppl i kno, and cool i was right he does die @ the end! (thx lord raven) but i didnt get the part about the drugs @ first, i just thought it was an emotional thing. ah wel, i rand 2 much. | |
| Nine Days – Absolutely (Story Of A Girl) Lyrics | 19 years ago |

| Howie Day – Collide Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| normally i just listen 2 zrock but ths song is really great- i think its about a random guy and girl, the 2 of thm dont really know each other, like they see each other in the hall @ school but they dont mean nething 2 each other. but then one day they actually meet and thats where the collide comes from- so ths song is really about life sux sometimes but there are always ppl, sometimes complete strangers, who help 2 get us thru. | |
| My Chemical Romance – Welcome To The Black Parade Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i luv ths song! | |
