Ou Est Le Swimming Pool – Better Lyrics 14 years ago
Here are the actual Lyrics:

Well it's important I'm reminded
sitting home alone in silence
then you came to make things better
started with this stormy weather
but I don't find myself deserving
and when I do its so unnerving
think I'll wait just as expected
wait for you to clear this mess up


The silence helps
instead of talking
the quiet walls are more help
than a friend could be 'cause they can't see the things I see


Things have got a chance to get much better
all I've got to do is go forget her
throw away all of my thoughts inside me
but after all what kind of life would that be

Things have got a chance to get much better
all I've got to do is go forget her
throw away all of my thoughts inside me
but after all what kind of life would that be


Another day of people calling
another day of me ignoring
I just can't stand the pointless calls
they drive me up and down the walls
I'm searching for the strength to eat
I'd rather drink fall off my seat
now there's a feeling hard to beat
I told you that my life's complete


Now here's a picture I always see
I see her hand in hand with me
and guess who's in there when I dream
of course it's always me and
there comes a point in someones life
when it's the time to take a dive
image stands, forever shines
I'm glad to say that she is mine


Things have got a chance to get much better
all I've got to do is go forget her
throw away all of my thoughts inside me
but after all what kind of life would that be

Things have got a chance to get much better
all I've got to do is go forget her
throw away all of my thoughts inside me
but after all what kind of life would that be


Things have got a chance to get much better
all I've got to do is go forget her
throw away all of my thoughts inside me
but after all what kind of life would that be

Breaking Benjamin – The Diary of Jane Lyrics 14 years ago
I don't think this is about a 'girl called Jane', I believe Jane is an any-woman, to stand in for any partner: "Desperate, I will crawl / waiting for so long / no love, there is no love / die for anyone / What have I become"
The lyrics seem to have been written from the perspective of a hopeless romantic, sick of getting their heart broken & going insane, but still trying to find a meaningful part for themselves in someone else's life...in the Diary of 'Jane'.

Birds of Tokyo – Waiting for the Wolves Lyrics 14 years ago
On the surface I think the theme of this song came from a loved-one of the lyricist, waiting for him to come back from tour. "They're telling you you're number one" and "Underneath the scales and skin it's just sell sell sell" are references to the music industry, and Birds Of Tokyo's success.
However the second verse is the true emotion behind this song: "You're here to entertain the world but they won't change you" etc. as well as the repeated line "You've been waiting for the truth to spell out the end of you" I believe indicate that the song is about throwing yourself into a passion, even a love, but even if you're the biggest rockstar in the world, it won't give you the meaning of life, it won't actually help your head, no matter how long you wait and how much you surrender yourself to something you happen to be good at. As much as we love Birds of Tokyo and their music helps us with our issues, we can't actually help the lyricist with his issues, no matter how much we love him. Unless of course, you are the lyricists loved one in which case you ask them to come home, to be with loved ones rather than abandoning your health, head, well-being to angst (and performance).

Tears for Fears – Broken Lyrics 19 years ago
Forgot to mention: I think 'Funny how time flies' refers to the fact that once you are 'broken', life is actually less torturous as you get on with living rather than searching out all the answers.
Personally, although I'm glad to have a more happy life, it also feels like I've left the Great Question behind and that if I had searched longer I would have figured out how to make EVERYTHING alright.

Tears for Fears – Broken Lyrics 19 years ago
This song is beautiful, and although the lyrics and music are melancholy, the tone of the song is lifted by the singer and the energy.
To me, the song means as we try to process trauma, or just come to terms with life, as we get older it doesn't get easier or clearer, but we learn that we can embrace the absence of meaning ourselves - we are broken, but you know what, it's better than just being in pain as you are breaking, and perhaps we need to break to get by?

"Two quarters and a half down"
obviously a drug reference!
