| Everclear – You Make Me Feel Like A Whore Lyrics | 18 years ago |

Most of the other people talk about a boy/girl meaning to the song, I take it differently. For me it's more about how it feels to around people when you're "Nervous and weird", the breathing underwater feeling, agonizing over everything stupid you said or did when you were anywhere out in the world. To me Art saying "someday, I'll find a way to make you pay." seems more like a statement to the world, that one day he'll be the one on top while the everyone else is on the outside instead of him. |

| AFI – No Poetic Device Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think the interpretations on lucid dreams make a lot of sense, as do the ones about self mutilatoin, I'll just add my two cents. Davey sings "who would believe it was all my own decision", this could either mean he keeps himself feeling terrible and depressed for some reason(possibly guilt), or it means he puts himself through something terrible, like a bad relationship. This is just my perspective since I've been in a relationship with an emotionally abusive girl, but the song makes me think of those times with her a lot. Davey could be talking about something like that "set fire to my house before I turned and walked back in. For every needle open my chest and insert ten pins " makes me think of someone destroying you physical belongings, as well as the friend and family support around you. The line about needles and pins makes me think of the pain that you feel everytime someone abusive like that belittles your feelings and really stabs your through the heart with hurtful little things. The second verse about the garden makes sense in that context too. About trying to end the relationship, and "a deadly secret only I suffer to know" being about how hard it is to tell anyone about something like this. And the last line of the verse "I can't eradicate what awaits when I awake" seems to be about the trapped feeling in something like that. Maybe Davey was communicating something like that, with the subject of lucid dreams driving his point home. Maybe I'm totally wrong... Yeah, I know that long, sorry, my first comment on a song here. |
