| Sister Machine Gun – Burn Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think its about him trying to cope with the pain while trying to save their relationship after she confessed cheating on him. The lyrics sum up exactly how I felt having dealt with this myself. I look at you and then I see your fire And I'm thinking 'bout desire Yes I'm thinking 'bout desire [Looking at her, he loves her and desires her] Telling me things that you try to hide And I'm burning up inside Oh how I'm burning up inside [She confesses she cheated on him but still wants to be with him and he finds himself burning with pain and anger] When I think about the first time that I saw your face I never felt this way No I never felt this way [He thinks back to when they first got together and remembers how it was only their love and he didn't feel this kind of pain with her] And now I'm thinkin' that you feel the same [He realizes that she too misses the time where things were better and all they felt was their love] And I hope if there's anyway I'll get down on my knees and pray [He would do almost anything to get back the love they lost and rebuild their relationship] You're like a burnin' flame And I'll never be the same No I'll never be the same You're like a burnin' flame And I'll never be the same No I'll never be the same [Dual Meaning: She lights his fire, shes hot, BUT she has also burned him badly with her infidelity, now he must carry the scars of this terrible event with him and it has changed him forever] What kind of fool am I To want your body next to mine? I want your body next to mine [He feels like a fool for continuing to want her after what she has done] I need you anytime And I'm breaking down inside Oh lord I'm breaking down inside [He feels he still needs her in his life and the pain is eating away at him, breaking him down inside] You cover me with all your hopeless fantasies I never had before No I never had before [She shares fantasies of being with both him and her lover at the same time. He is turned on by the fantasies but also finds them agonizingly painful, leaving him conflicted on whether he wants to act them out or not] And now I'm living in my own reality 'cause of the things you did to me Oh the things you did to me [After everything she has put him through its like his entire world has been turned on its side and its like he no longer knows up from down, right from left. Nothing makes sense anymore and he no longer knows whats real and whats not] This is how I have interpreted the song and is also exactly what I myself have been through not long ago. However we made it through and we are still together, and probably stronger for having survived that nightmare. |

| t.A.T.u. – Fly on the Wall Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
T.a.t.u has become a lot more focused on social issues lately. Some of their songs kind of speak out about said social issues. In many places, and especially in the USA, people have become almost obsessed with being privy to all the intimate details of the lives of celebrities. Where I live we have 2 television shows back to back that report on all the latest celebrity gossip. Between that and the surge of reality television, its as if people have reached the point where they desire to be a fly on the wall in these people's lives. We have gone from couch potatoes to couch stalkers, spying on people most of us have never and will never meet. And for what? Some sick sense of satisfaction if the celebrity does something so stupid that it makes you feel better about yourself and the stuff you do? I think this song is a commentary about our culture of full access celebrity gossip and armchair stalking. The desire to be a fly on the wall and know everything about these people. |

| Aretha Franklin – Respect Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Correction: The accurate line is "Take care of TCP" TCP was an abbreiviation common in the 60s and 70s among african-american culture which meant "The Colored People" The line is saying "Take care of The Colored People." TCP became became less widely used over the years and few outside the culture knew of it to begin with. |

| New Kids on the Block – Put It on My Tab Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Seems pretty clear cut here. There he is relaxing at the bar having a drink and he notices a beautiful woman trying to relax with a drink after a long day, and having to turn away the advances of numerous guys who are reading her all wrong. Hes attracted to her but knows that shes not looking for action, and neither is he really. Being sympathetic he pays for her drinks and decides to just talk to her. Definately a noble move. | |
| New Kids on the Block – Stare At You Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This really needs no interperetation. A beautiful song that sums up the way my wife makes me feel. Especially the hook "Its not the way you look that brings me to my knees, its the way you look at me" That is exactly how I feel. Definately one of my all time favorite love songs | |
| New Kids on the Block – Sexify My Love Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I have seen people take issue with this song but as a married man (like most of the New Kids members) I kind of imagine this song from the perspective of making love to one's wife. Though as a reality check, I am sure that had the guys actually wrote this song themselves thats what the intention would be, but its not likely since they really dont write the songs, but occasionally they do HELP someone else write them. Either way, this is by far one of my favorite songs | |
| New Kids on the Block – Summertime Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| idntfcklosers WTF? Crack is bad for you! I know what you are trying to say but there is no way in hell this sounds like the music from bittersweet symphony, that song used a semi-classical string arangement and melody where as this song uses a synthesizer to create a breezy pop melody. OPEN YOUR EARS PEOPLE! Music is more than some catchy words and a couple instruments, and WAY more than the shenanegans (or lack thereof) of the artist ouside the studio. People learn to appreciate music for the composition. | |
| New Kids on the Block – 2 In The Morning Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Yeah that seems to be the case. Obviously shes upset, but as many women do, she bottles it up and gives him the silent treatment instead of talking things out. The sad thing is that this course of action only makes matters worse, because most of the time, all that emotion and all those words that you bottle up become poison and start to eat away at not only you, but him as well, eroding the foundation of the relationship and inevitably causing it to come crashing down. This song was very personal to Donnie Wahlberg who recently filed for divorce after 9 years of marriage and has filed for custody of their 2 kids. |

| New Kids on the Block – Hangin' Tough Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
tedthehead, that takes balls since YOU are on here reading this page too. I'd call you a fag but that would be degrading gay people by lumping you in with them. Moron. ANYWAY... Yeah this is not really my favorite song, actually, out of the entire album this has got to be the poorest song they've done in terms of lyrical composition and overall quality. I mean come on, the Coca-Cola ad they did at the beginning of the video for the step by step tour was better than this. |

| New Kids on the Block – I'll Be Loving You (Forever) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Hey Jordan had them too but not as bad as his brother, though Apparently Oprah makes them both nervous, poor guys. Oprah could make anybody have an anxiety attack, but to throw someone who pretty much spent 3 years in bed hiding from the world because of his attacks on OPRAH? Thats really harsh. | |
| New Kids on the Block – Step By Step Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Ah childhood, I still love this song though, and I'll probably get my kids hooked now. Is it bad that I'm a guy and loved this group and their music? I mean, It's not like I'm gay, I loved the music and their style. I grew up wanting to be Jon. Now I'm all grown up with a wife and 2 kids and the guys are back together for a new album! I always wanted to be able to share the best of my childhood with my kids now I can! | |
| The Verve Pipe – The Freshmen Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Brian Vander Ark wrote the song in 1991 about the guilt he felt from his ex-girlfriend having an abortion. This is shown in the first verse with the line "stopped a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice." The song was written after watching the film The Freshman starring Marlon Brando and Matthew Broderick. In an interview, Vander Ark says, "At some point in our lives, we're all freshmen. We are all at that point when we think we know everything but we don't know shit". The girl in the song is based on Vander Ark's girlfriend at the time -- who really had an abortion. However, she didn't actually commit suicide like in the song, which Vander Ark said was poetic license. |

| it IS "love is the id that supports the ego" songmeanings tends to get occasional lyrics wrong. | |
| Duncan Sheik – Barely Breathing Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I have related to this song more times than I care to think about. It always sucks when a girl (Or a guy for that matter) screws with your heart, playing you for a fool while shes banging some other a**hole behind your back then tries to act like "oh i got caught up in the moment...but now I think I love HIM." Bitch..... Great song though! | |
| Orgy – Stitches Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I am not sure what the ORIGINAL meaning of the song was but the entire song applied very perfectly to a situation was in. I had been in a strange love triangle. I had been with this one girl for 6 years (we'll call her 'A'), then suddenly I met this other girl (call her 'B') Now the problem was I was in love with both, but I started fighting with 'A' alot. We tried to have things work as a 3 way relationship, but it was often stange and awkward (though the "2 girls at once" sexcapades were alot of fun). Then 'A' started messing around with one of my drinking buddies. He's a former heroin (and other drugs) addict, an alcoholic, and a womanizing man whore who would (and pretty much did) screw anything with a pulse. THen she claims shes in love with him but is back and forth on her feelings for me but keeps having sex with me. I begin to feel resentment towards her but cant shake this obsessive need to still be with her. So to connect the chorus to it She remained tied to me sort of stitching up the emptiness I was feeling but without filling it and many times she made me contemplate suicide but she was so beautiful to me then and I loved the thrill of the sex. But then our strange sex life began to become a risk, a roll of the dice. The love afair was forbidden and wrong on so many levels, and on top of that we were never sure if my buddy had any STDs from all the drugs and random sex he had, and emotianally I reached a point where i got even more exited by having sex with 'A' even though I was liking her less and less and feeling that it was wrong, It was like I hated her but couldnt stop F**king her. All this time 'B' was on an emotional rollercoaster of her own because she only wanted me, and was only going along with all this to make me happy, but it was taking its toll on her and she was back and forth on weather to leave or not, and it was killing her that I was so fixated on 'A' The happy ending is that after the last time I had sex with 'A' I had lost all feelings for her and sent her away to be with my old buddy, and I married 'B' and we now live happily ever after. |

| Darren Hayes – Listen All You People Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This is my new favorite Darren song. Its like an anthem for all the geeks underdogs and outcasts of the world, reminding us that we're not alone and we're cool the way we are. Sort of telling us that it's time to stand up and be counted. Remember everybody, as much as I love the 80s, geeks are the new alpha class, so the 2000s have been good to us. Any of you geeks out there that felt oppressed and picked on in the 80s, remember to thumb your nose at all the dumb jocks that everyone heralded in the past. Go Darren for creating a song that gives the outsiders a positive boost. This song certainly makes me feel good to be who I am. |

| Natalie Imbruglia – City Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Again this follows the dominant theme of the album of bad relationships. I saw this kind of thing happen to a friend of mine and to some extent something similar happened to me. The relationship has run its course and gone bad and is at its end, but everyone you know is connected in some way to your former partner and has turned against you or has become bothersome and it gets to the point where you are just fed up with everyone you know in the city and the only escape from the turmoil is to leave town and start over with a new life, putting your old life behind you. I have to admit I miss this friend who left town to start fresh, but I don't blame her for going. I have had similar problems with our former friends playing their games. I haven't left town, but I did cut myself off from those people and started a new life with my new wife who also had problems with that same bunch before I met her. We are now happy and free from those toxic "friends" so yeah getting back to the point. This song is about her starting fresh after having a bad time with a guy and some bad friends. |

| Natalie Imbruglia – One More Addiction Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
While this could quite possibly be about actual substance abuse, I tend to think it follows the trend of most of the album and is about a toxic relationship. I have some experience with this particular topic and also if anyone watched the later seasons of Angel, the relationship Wesley had with that evil lawyer chick is a rough example of what i am about to explain... Its a relationship where there is no real love, but more of an addiction to each other and like a drug, you begin to lose yourself to it, you neglect your family and friends and you find your life is no longer recognizable. Everything seems to be like you are living in a semi-surreal dream that is quickly turning into a nightmare where you are drowning in this crazy mixed up world like a rip tide that keeps carrying you farther off the beaten path. Eventually you find that you have gone so far over the edge that you doubt you could ever go back to the way things were, but you lie to yourself, telling yourself that you can stop any time and everything will be fine . You try to break free of the person but you can't help yourself, you just keep going back for more. In a relationship like this you find yourself doing things you wouldn't normally do, which actually can lead to real drug use if you aren't careful. This description is of something that happened to me so the song feels for me like a retelling of what i went through in the winter of 2000-2001 |

| Natalie Imbruglia – Don't You Think? Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This is a very pointed song that takes a shot at all the apathetic people who are so wrapped up in their own little worlds and concerned with being trendy and don't know or care about whats going on in the world around them. Basically people like Paris Hilton. They think their image is the most important thing in the world and could care less about things like politics or the environment or anything unless it directly affects them. These people don't think for themselves, they allow the media to think for them. This song is telling them to pull their heads out of their arses. | |
| Natalie Imbruglia – Wishing I Was There Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Its about a fling. She and this guy are sleeping together, and they both want to go further with the relationship but she is difficult. She tends to sabotage her relationships. He loves her, and though she wants to love him, she knows she will just mess it up with her usual neurotic paranoia, so she keeps the relationship limited to sex, and sends him away in the morning, all the while wishing he could stay. When she says "don't say you love me, don't say you need me, I really don't think that's fair" It is unfair to her because she wants to return the sentiment but she can't let herself love him back. | |
