I can identify so well with this song,I feel like the person John is singing to is me. "They painted up your secrets with the lies they told to you" Lets put it like this, my brain is a blank page where my secrets lie and its like everyone that passed by told me a lie and with that lie it painted a part of that blank page so did the next person and the other 200 until the blank page was fully covered with their lies "and the least they ever gave you was the most you ever knew" My parents dont let me live my life they practically have me as a hostage on my own home so the little life I get from them is all I know "And I wonder where these dreams go when the world gets in your way" I have always dreamt about being a complete artist, making films, music and painting but no one really supports me so sometimes I feel like I have to let go of those dreams cause life in general gets in my way. "Whats the point in all this screaming, no ones listening anyways" I was raised between screams and really violent fights and no one actually listened what eachother had to say so Im a really really quiet person who barely talks cause I feel like its a waste of time since no one listens "Your voice is small and fading And you hide in here unknown" I talk almost whispering and Im always trying to get unnoticed "And your mother loves your father 'Cause she's got nowhere to go" My mom has no other choice than to stay with my father even though he hits her and spits on her and offends her badly shes living in a foreign country where she knows nobody and she has nowhere to go "And she wonders where these dreams goes cause the world got in her way" She used to be a flying attendant, she used to travel the world and had high goals and ambitions but she got married and had to give up all that "Whats the point in ever trying nothings changing anyways" Thats something someone that is completly hopeless would say, I have to admit I have been feeling that way at some point I mean why ever try doing something with my life? nothings gonna change anyway so why even try? thank God I dont feel that way any longer "They press their lips against you And you love the lies they say" that line is to me about my father when he kisses me he doesnt show any kind of affection or care he just does it cause he feels hes supposed to but he just presses his lips against me and he tells me lies every day but I still dont give up on him I still try to love him "And I tried so hard to reach you But you're falling anyway" Thats what my friends always tell me, they´re are always trying to help me but theres nothing they can do, Im fallen and Im the only one who can fix it I have to stand up by myself "And you know I see right through you When the world gets in your way" Thats my guy, hes the only one who knows the real me and sees through me and sees how I feel when everyone is in my way "What's the point in all the screaming You're not listening anyway" This last line is what mom tells me, I have been creating a music fortress over the last years and even when she screams Im unaffected, I cant listening to anything she says. wow, Songmeanings is better than Therapy! and its freeeeee! |

this is my favorite song ever, I have two really different visons of what this song is about, I know that its about City of Angels but I decided to give it my own meaning. So here you got two: the first one is about a guy who happens to be a voyeour that falls in love. "and I´d give up forever to touch you" he has spied in so many people but no one has ever made him feel this way, hes actually in love with this person he keeps spying, he just watches her with someone else and hes wishing he was the one with her. "cause I know that you feel me somehow" hes spying her, she can feel hes presence there. "you´re the closest to heaven that I´ll ever be" Well, hes a voyeour and he believes he wont go to heaven cause he enjoys watching people doing it but with her he feels a heavenly connection like she was heaven. "and I dont wanna go home right now" he doesnt want to go back to his daily routine, to whatever he does when hes not spying on her. "And all I can taste is this moment" hes picturing himself making love with her. "and all I can breathe is your life" he doesnt have many other things to do except to watch her so shes like his oxygen he breathes her life "cause sooner or later its over" everything ends sometime you either broke up or you die. "I just dont wanna miss you tonight" he doesnt care about what could happen next, he just wants to be with her. "And I dont want the world to see me" he doesnt want the world to see him because of what he does, hes scared about how people would see him. "Cause I dont think they´d understand" nobody would understand why he is a voyeour why he does it. "when everything´s made to be broken" everything in his life sucks excepts watching her. "I just want you to know who I am" he would leave everything in his live just for her to know who he is, it hurts him that he cant just go to her and say "hey,I love you" he has to hide. "and you cant fight the tears that aint coming" he feels so bad that he cant feel anything, he cant even cry hes just numb. "or the moment of truth in your lies" he has to lie, he cant go around telling everyone about his hobby and shes the moment of truth in his lies like he feels like himself when hes watching her. "when everything feels like the movies" those mins hes watching her everything in his life is like the movies meaning everything its good, everything is what he wants it to be. "yeah you bleed just to know you´re alive" and now the movie is over and he has to go back to reality. and this is my 2nd meaning for this song, this is a lil bit more personal, I have been in a internet relationship for almost a year and I love him very much but we live in diff countries and I still havent meet him in person. "and I´d give up forever to touch you" I would forget everything in my life to just be with him for 15 mins. "cause I know that you feel me somehow" he´s feeling the same way about me, he dreams about me and he can feel my touch, my warmth, my smell, my taste etc. "you´re the closest to heaven that I´ll ever be" to me, hes heaven, nothing can compare to him. "and I dont want to go home right now" I spend hours on the internet chatting with him and I just dont wanna log off and go back to my daily life. "and all I can taste is this moment" Im eating but Im thinking about him, I cant focused my mind in anything than him. "and all I can breathe is your life" Im feeling really pressured every day but with him I feel I can breathe, like I was breathing through him. "sooner or later its over" like I said above, everthing its over some day. "I just dont wanna miss you tonight" I miss him so much every night I just wanna feel him. "and I dont want the world to see me" I have never been adapted to society I hate the superficial way everything works and I never fitted in and I never will I dont want them to see me and Im really shy. "cause I dont think they´d understand" no one understand me they just think Im a freaky weirdo just cause Im not like them. "when everything´s made to be broken" everything in my life is messed up right now nothing is right actually it never has been so since I was born everything has been made to be broken. "I just want you to know who I am" but I just couldnt care less about everything being wrong, Im the happiest person in the world just because he knows who I am. "and you cant fight the tears that aint coming" when I was younger I used to cry about everything and now the tears just wont come. "or the moment of truth in your lies" I had a lying disorder than Im getting over but hes the truth between all those lies cause I just cant lie to him. "when everything feels like the movies" we both are huge movie fans we wanna be filmmakers so everything its like the movies for us. "yeah, you bleed just to know you are alive" before meeting Cody the tough moments would hurt me alot and I would feel like I was dead and bleeding was the only thing that would make me see that I was still alive and I also used to cut. |
