10 Years – Dying Youth Lyrics 16 years ago
I think it's about a couple who got pregnant during their teen years,

"Reach in her womb
Sheltered from strife
Bearing the gifts
And burdens of life"

And the father is looking back on his life years later and realizes
that he has been trying to hold on to his "age innocent," which
causes the couple to argue.

"I pray to be young
And pray to be inspired
But the words of your tongue
Blister like fire"

But together they realize that they have to grow up and take responsibility.

"Those who
Are looking backwards
Chose to
Live as statues
Frozen fractured
Youthful laughter
Fades

I can't let you go
Slow down
Don't leave
Dying days of my youth
Over take me"

That's just the way I took it.

Melissa O'neil – Alive Lyrics 18 years ago
I think she's saying that she's
tired of sitting around wishing
that someday, her prince charming
would find her and sweep her off
her feet.

She's ready to explore, do something
she's never done before, explore,
find him before it's too late.

And more than anything, she wants
to feel alive, like she's actually
pushing beyond the limits.

And even if everything fails in
the end, at least she will know
that she had the courage to
do something for herself.

I honestly believe that every
girl feels this way at some
point in their lives.

Yellowcard – Light Up the Sky Lyrics 18 years ago
When I hear this song, I think
of a guy who sees a girl in
distress.
'I just wanna be where you are tonight.
I run in the dark looking for some light'
She has suffered from
a broken heart, and he has
watched over her through all
of this, and tried to pick her
up and set her back on her feet.

'And I would explode just to save your life'
He loves her so much, that he
would die to see her happy.

'Cover your eyes,
Get your disguise,
They won't ask you why,
They just watch you die.
And it's still so hard to be who you are,
So you play this part,
The show goes on.
You've come this far with a broken heart'
He has watched her hide behind
her facade for so long, that he
would do anything to see her come
out of her shell again.

The entire song is expressing how
much he cares about her, and the
fact that she needs to move on
from her heart break and realize
how he loves her so much that he
would die for her just to 'light her sky',
or see her happy again.

Yellowcard – You and Me and One Spotlight Lyrics 18 years ago
This song has multiple meanings.

I honestly don't think the author
had a specific 'meaning' for
everyone to pick up on.
I think he wanted everyone to
take the lyrics, and interpret
them to mold into our lives.
They want us to take something from
their lyrics, and find our own meaning.

With that being said--
I do see all of your points of view.

It could have a sexual meaning.
(I don't mean that in a
perverted manner)
Two lovers with one last night
to make an eternal memory.

If I had to pick a specific
lyrical meaning, it would have
to be the one realating to death.
When I listen to the song's tone
and lyrics and such, I think of
someone trying to make everything
right. Someone who is desperately
searching for that last bit of comfort
before he leaves.

'Say you will be all around me'
He is wanting to be surrounded by
a carefree love, a comfort that he
can't seem to find anywhere else.
It's like a reassurance that everything
will be alright in the end.

'When your Body sets Your Heart Free'
When your spirit is set free after death.

'But one last sunrise
And when we stand there together not scared
I’ll dry your last tear
And then we're just air'
One last night together, and
she will stay with him and be
his comfort. He will dry her last
tear because she is grieving
over what she will soon lose.
And then he will die.
(Maybe they will die together,
like in The Notebook?)

'Go put on your best tonight
It’s you and me and not much time'
It reminds me of the song
"Live Like You Were Dying"
They are going to go out and do
all the things that they would
usually be afraid to do, because
they know this is their big chance.
Which leads back to:
('And when we stand
there together not scared')
They know they have a limited
amount of time to live freely,
So they Live For The Moment.

'Take my body set my heart free
Say you’ll get me through the ending'
He wants to become one heart with
her. (Which is where I could see the
sexual reference.)
But most of all, he wants her to
be with him through the end.
He wants her to comfort him and
live the remainder of his life
with him, Live For The Moment,
Live Like You Were Dying, Live FREE.

I See It As A Last-Day-On-Earth.
[Not To Be Depressing or Anything]
I see it as the beautiful ending
of a beautiful connection.

But as I said earlier--I think the
lyrics were put out there for everyone
to interpret them as they wish.
We should all take what we want
from the song. There is no right
or wrong meaning. Lyrics are out
there to make us think and relate.

Yellowcard – Only One Lyrics 18 years ago
This Song is truly Beautiful.

I am an extremely lyrical person.
I'm one of those people who
can't listen to a song unless
I know every word of it.

Anyway,
When I read the lyrics and
really thought about them,
They made me want to
break down in tears.

You can tell by the way he
sings and the expressions
in his voice just how much
passion he has put into the
song itself, not only through
the lyrics, but through
his performance and all.

The Song Is About A Guy
who has basically poured
everything into this relationship,
because she is the basis of
his life entirely...
but she is oblivious.

The song is about his pain.
It is the PERFECT
example of what people
mean when they use the
expression: 'love someone
so much that it hurts'.
He loves her so much,
that it's literally painful
to love someone SO much,
and have them constantly
push you aside.

It may sound exciting and such,
but the actual meaning is SO
much deeper. It's a feeling that
you can only understand through
experience--one that will break your heart.
