Tom Waits – Soldier's Things Lyrics 16 years ago
I think of "This one is for bravery, and this one is for me." as meaning that he didn't think he was brave, that there wasn't a reason for him receiving the medal.

Switchfoot – Let That Be Enough Lyrics 16 years ago
From a non-Christian point of view (like my own,) it is simply a song about feeling alone, and needing someone to be there for you.

I, personally, enjoy the fact that Switchfoot isn't a band that has "Lord" and "God" in a lot of their lyrics, because it can really blur the meaning of a song. (i.e. "My Beautiful Rescue" by This Providence, which says "Lord" once, therefore changing the interpretation of the song)

Anyway, amazing song, amazing band! :D

John Mayer – No Such Thing Lyrics 17 years ago
'they love to tell you "stay inside the lines"
but something's better on the other side'

when i was little, i would always go over to my neighbor's house with my sister, (this neighbor is more like a grandparent) and my neighbor's sister would always be like "stay inside the lines, val" while i was coloring all over the place, meanwhile, my sister's would be perfect, inside the lines, realistic colors and everything.

it's strange how the smallest things can mirror some of the biggest things in our lives.

The Spill Canvas – The Dutch Courage Lyrics 17 years ago
"I am utterly disgusted with the path you trek
As inebriated as you can get off your latest pay check
I am at a loss for words here
I hate to break this to you but being a coward is not a legitimate career"

reminds me of a girl that broke up with me; she 'just couldn't do it anymore,' and didn't even remember calling me a couple nights prior.....she got a new girlfriend (maybe, boyfriend?) less than a week later.....

Hidden in Plain View – The Innocent Ones Lyrics 17 years ago
good song,
just wondering, is this the song that was played at the end of 'A Double Shot At Love with the Ikki Twins' when Rebekah was leaving? i'm trying to find that song.

Sarah Bettens – Shine Lyrics 17 years ago
my sister is off in paris right now, and once she gets back home, she might be moving away to either colorado or back to california, and we live in new york. it's hard to have to be away from her again, but it's part of her life that i know needs to happen. this song reminds me of her, without a doubt.

Kina Grannis – Too Soon Lyrics 17 years ago
"Don't wipe away my tears so quickly
Can you even tell if they're happy or sad
Maybe I need to let them fall
Clean me up and wash me out
And let me drown for a while"

beautiful.

my god, people, calm down.

Tegan and Sara – This Is Everything Lyrics 17 years ago
to me, the first verse sounds like she's scared of getting caught and coming out, so they're both getting hurt because of it.

Tegan and Sara – I Can't Take It Lyrics 17 years ago
in a interview sara said, "The last song on the record is dedicated to people who are alone. I mean, like alone and you stub your toe and you fall on the ground and you sob hysterically into the ground and you are like, 'What is wrong with my life?'"

the last song on the record is 'i can't take it'

Tegan and Sara – I Was Married Lyrics 18 years ago
"I’ve read that ‘I Was Married’ is about gay marriage. What made you write about that?
Sara went through a lot this year. She and her partner, who is American, decided to apply for permanent (Canadian) residency as common law partners. She said there was a moment while they were filling out the paperwork where she thought, ‘It feels like we’re getting married!’ That’s what prompted her to write the song.

I don’t want to speak for her, but I think Sara was reflecting on how she was experiencing this genuinely amazing feeling of loving another person while also realizing there’s this whole part of the world that doesn’t approve of her relationship."

that's from an interview tegan had with gaydarradio.com

Tegan and Sara – Like O, Like H Lyrics 18 years ago
i think it's about figuring out who you are.

"when i was 8 i was sure i was growing nerves"--she knew something was 'different' about her.

"I was four plus ten, I was swinging fists"--she figured out who she was but was mad that she was too scared to tell anyone.

and the "oh, sugar spell it out" part i think is her mother asking her to explain what was wrong.

i dont know, that's just my take of it.

Ingrid Michaelson – The Way I Am Lyrics 18 years ago
definitely, teenqueen22, she does, but i cant remember what that other girl's name is. a girl at my school sang this song at a pageant at my school and she looks so much like her except she has brown-ish hair instead.

MxPx – Secret Weapon Lyrics 18 years ago
i think that it means that you have to accept what happens to you and when someone tries to bring you down, to stand up for yourself

My Chemical Romance – I Don't Love You (Like I Did Yesterday) Lyrics 18 years ago
i can really relate to this song. i think it's about not being accepted by people you love. in my opinion i think the line 'so sick and tired of all the needless beating' is referring to his heart. he doesn't feel like he has a reason to live because of this person.

Dashboard Confessional – Stolen Lyrics 18 years ago
it's about a summer romance, and how it's not the same once summer ends. the love will still be there, but it won't be care free like it was, it'll be hard to stay together.

Megan Mccauley – Wonder Lyrics 18 years ago
"When Breathing's a burden we all have to bear

Sean Kingston – Beautiful Girls Lyrics 18 years ago
i love how it uses the beat to "stand by me" it makes the song 1 million times better. its such a true song i love the line:
"Oh when you took my heart
That's when we fell apart
'Cause we both thought
That love lasts forever (lasts forever)"

that part is just so beautifully written
