| Pearl Jam – Footsteps Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| The song seems to be about guilt or remorse. I think this song should be used in the closing moments of the Dexter's final episode! It could be about Dexter thinking about Harry. | |
| Duran Duran – The Chauffeur Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| This song would have been an effective contribution to the Drive soundtrack! | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Beside You in Time Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Yes, I agree! Eternal return was the first thing I thought about when I heard this. You could even loop this song into one seamless, neverending song due to the fact that the song begins and ends on that same synth note. Interesting. | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Beside You in Time Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I believe this song is about the Eternal Recurrence. Look it up. | |
| Breaking Benjamin – I Will Not Bow Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The truth of this song is, it's about Breaking Benjamin's experience in an Indian restaurant one night. I shall take the song one line at a time and explain the real meaning behind the song. I begin with a correction of the opening line: Contrary to received wisdom, the first word is not "fall", but: "PHAL!" A phal is a particularly hot kind of curry; in fact, one of the hottest. In shouting the word at the beginning of the song, Ben Burnley sets up the song's context and tells us straight away that the song is about a curry. "Now the dark begins to rise, save your breath, it's far from over" The "dark" here refers to the overpowering strength of the curry. Ben burps a foul smelling burp here, hence the "rise" part i.e. it rises up from his stomach. Of course, the burp isn't alone, and others follow. "Leave the lost and dead behind, now's the time to run for cover" People are fleeing the restaurant to avoid suffocating in the poisonous burp of Ben Burnley. "I don't want to change the world, I just want to leave it colder" He wants to stop the burning in his throat, and cool the spices burning up his stomach. "Light the fuse and burn it up, take the path that leads to nowhere" Walking home, drunk and intoxicated on the incredibly hot curry, Ben lights a cigarette (lighting the fuse) and instead of walking straight home, decides to take an unknown route home (the path to nowhere). "All is lost again, but I'm not giving in" His wallet fell out of his pocket and he lost it in the dark path he was talkin about in the previous line. "I will not bow, I will not break etc..." Some homeless guy stops him on the road to nowhere and begs him for spare change. But Ben, as we know, has none. He refuses to give in to the homeless man's demands. |

| Breaking Benjamin – Without You Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| It's about letting go and doing your best to move on with your life, even though it's hard. It's a very moving song, but positive and encouraging. Ben sings with such emotion in this song, you can tell it's important to him. Same goes for the rest of the band. | |
| Linkin Park – New Divide Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This track sounds completely and totally nothing like the song from the first film, whose song didn't sound anything like all of Linkin Park's other song! :sarcasm: | |
| Linkin Park – Foreword Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| this intro is just a lazy and crappy copy of the intro skit to Nine Inch Nails' album The Downward Spiral. Of course, Linkin Park would probably claim this was done in "homage" to Trent Reznor, but it doesn't make it any less crappy. | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Non Entity Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This sounds like a remix to "The Line Begins To Blur", but I love it. | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Starfuckers, Inc. Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I find it ironic how so many NIN fans refer to Trent as "a god" and then they come in here proclaiming this a song about celebrity worship. | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Where Is Everybody? Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| lyrically this song is nothing special, the musical composition is nice though. | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Even Deeper Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| it's about when the singer stepped into a swimming pool, and he thought he was stepping in at the shallow end, but in fact it was the deep end ("even deeper"). | |
| Nine Inch Nails – We're in This Together Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| this song is about Trent's goldfish, Lulu, that he owned during his childhood. | |
| Nine Inch Nails – The Downward Spiral Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think this is about a failed suicide. the person attempts to kill himself, but only manages to paralyse or seriously debilitate himself. 'Hurt' is his life afterwards, living in a helpless, pitiful state of vegetation and his regrets over this ("what have i become?"). | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Hurt Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| lol, i feel you there, bro. | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Hurt Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| this song is so powerful that i can barely begin to describe the effect it has on me. even the instrumental version, without lyrics, stirs up such feelings in me. and yet there is such hopefulness hidden within the melancholy of this song. | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Something I Can Never Have Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| there is a tremendous live version of this song on Youtube, featuring Trent on piano and some guy on acoustic guitar (perhaps a member of the band, i'm not sure). sends chills up and down my spine. to me there is no song more powerful than this. | |
| James Taylor – Fire And Rain Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| a good song. it is amusing to read the obviously made-up stories in which people say "oh, my friend died and i heard this tune the next day" or "my friend used to listen to this all the time then the next day he died!!!11". Yeah, sure.... | |
| Fightstar – Palahniuk's Laughter Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Honest to truth, when I first heard this song I thought it was about Palahniuk's homosexuality. | |
| Breaking Benjamin – Until The End Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| How anyone could derive a Christian meaning from this song is just beyond me. This song has NOTHING to do with Christianity! LOL Take your preaching elsewhere. Why do many Christians infer that any reference to salvation (which is not an exclusively religious concept) or guidance are subtle references to Jesus Christ? Get it in your head: not everyone is infatuated with a 2000 year old personage. The only POSSIBLE reference to Christianity present in any BB song is the line "hiding betrayal, driving the nail" from Evil Angel. | |
| TRUSTCompany – Figure 8 Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| A good vengeance song. I like it. It's bitter and uplifting. The chorus is great. Anyone with an ounce of vengeance in their heart will feel this song. | |
| Modest Mouse – Bukowski Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Bukowski would love this song. Or hate it. Maybe one day he'll come back from the dead and answer it. | |
| Stone Sour – Through Glass Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
THROUGH THE GLASS That could mean a number of things. 1. Through the glass of an alcoholic drink. 2. Looking at yourself in the mirror. 3. Looking at someone through the glass screen in a prison. 4. Through the TV or cinema screen. They're all worthwhile interpretations. A touching song, however you look at it. |

Sponge10174-- I think you have NAILED the meaning of this song. If not, it's the best individial interpretation I've ever read. 10/10 from me. |
|
| José González – Down the Line Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Such a beautifully simple song. I think it's about the importance of seeing the world for what it is, instead of seeing it for what you want it to be. Could relate to personal relationships or the world in a broader context (the video for this song supports this idea). | |
| Linkin Park – What I've Done Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
A call to humankind to forgive itself and destroy the cycles of destruction in which it has snared itself. This song is both hopeful and desperate, but its message is clear: humankind cannot forgive itself until the individual--you and me--forgives himself for the wrongs he has done. Man is something that must be overcome. |
|
| Breaking Benjamin – Evil Angel Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Always gave me the impression it's about a love-hate relationship. A person talking about someone who is both good (angelic) but also despicable (evil). Optionally, could be about substance abuse or any kind of destructive addiction. | |
| Breaking Benjamin – You Fight Me Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Sometimes you want friendship or love to work out, but it doesn't stand a chance. So you get the hell out of that situation, and you learn from it. And there is so much bitterness in this awesome song. | |
| Audioslave – Shadow On The Sun Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Even if it were possible to cast a shadow on the sun, you wouldn't be able to see it due to the brightness of the sun. It is there, but you can't you see it. Just like the narrator in this song-- he's there, walking the street, but you wouldn't know him if he passed you by because he is so marginal that he may not even exist at all. He has faded out and he will die alone. | |
| Killswitch Engage – My Last Serenade Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Sometimes you want so badly to help someone but you are not able to: you might not know how to help them, or they might reject you for even trying. So in the end you have to turn your back and walk away, even if it hurts like hell to do it. That more or less sums up this song for me. |
|
| Audioslave – I Am the Highway Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song is told from the perspective of a teacher/guru--religious, spiritual, political or from any other realm--who does not want his followers to use his teachings as crutches with which to limp through their own lives. His teachings are there to guide them (they are HIGHWAYS), but they should not reject their own individuality or rely on the teacher to carry them through the hardships in life. This song so reminds me of the central character in Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", what with the images of journey and solitude ("I put millions of miles beneath my heels") and reluctance to be regarded as a saviour ("I am NOT your rolling wheels...I am NOT your carpet ride...I am NOT your blowing wind..."). |
|
| Creed – Weathered Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| In terms of the song's theme, it very much reminds me of Breaking Benjamin's 'Until The End'. | |
| Creed – My Sacrifice Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is quite simply about the importance of self-love, and how tranquility in life is impossible without it. | |
| Breaking Benjamin – Until The End Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Yeah, the drumming in this song is very good, especially in the chorus and just before the bridge. That drummer knows his shit, LOL. | |
| Chevelle – An Evening with El Diablo Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is about people whose behaviour and approach to life fill you with dread and envy. It's about how we are all drawn to darkness, and how sometimes we embrace but at the same time are repulsed by the darkness--whether that darkness is within us or outside of us. There is always something attractive about people who seem to have no morals, no scruples, no hesitation to seek out pleasure and self-gratification. We may despise them, but a part of us envies them. | |
| Justin Timberlake – What Goes Around.../...Comes Around (Interlude) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I am not a great fan of JT, but this song is well-produced, relevant and I just can't stop listening to it. I love the chorus! | |
| Breaking Benjamin – Break My Fall Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song seems to be about two people in a relationship--not necessarily a man and a woman--who, in different ways, need each other. But it would seem the narrator needs the other person more than he/she needs him. It sounds like the narrator was pushed away, and that he is pleading with the other person to give them another chance because he (the narrator) needs him/her. The narrator's pleading for the other to "break his fall" is really quite pathetic. | |
| Breaking Benjamin – Home Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Great song, this. It has an entertainingly nightmarish quality about it ("a man made of tin, with an oil can grin"...kind of scary!). But yeah, it's about some guy stuck in a predicament he wants out of. | |
| Breaking Benjamin – Until The End Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This is such a powerful song that really needs little explanation. But I will chip in with my interpretation of this selection of the lyrics: "why give up? why give in? it's not enough it never is So I will go on until the end" The "it's not enough, it never is" part means that, however much pain and hardship the singer faces in life, it will never be enough to make him give up the fight. There is nothing that can strip him of his will to life. "I've lost my way I've lost my way but I will go on until the end" People lose sight of their hopes, their dreams, and of themselves. But you can always regain your footing so long as you just hold on for a bit longer. "the final fight I win the final fight I win the final fight I win but I will go on until the end" The "final fight" is life itself. Winning the fight against life means that, whatever it throws at you, and no matter how many times you think about throwing in the towel and quitting, you choose to continue the fight. |

| Breaking Benjamin – Unknown Soldier Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song always gives me the image of the ghost of a soldier trapped on the battlefield, condemned to spending eternity fighting a war he never believed in. But I also think Neji321's interpretation (a forgotten soldier, trapped behind enemy lines, contemplating suicide...) is very original and insightful. |

| Breaking Benjamin – Follow Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This was the first Breaking Benjamin song I head, and it from the very beginning it has been a very personal song to me. But I still can't figure out what it means. I think the chorus is the key to understanding it. I've always had the idea it is about two people, not necessarily lovers, who are standing on the brink of such a great relationship but they are holding each other back. Perhaps from fear, or ignorance of what they could do for each other. There is a massive potential that they see in one another, but at the same time they don't know how to reach for it. "I follow you, you follow me... I'll break right through the irony..." The irony of the relationship is that when two people in a relationship have the desire to LEAD the other, they get nowhere because they are constantly following one another back and forth...back and forth without direction or purpose. If they both agreed to WALK in the same direction, together, as one, they could achieve so much. That is the irony of their relationship. |
