Josh Garrels – The Resistance Lyrics	10 years ago
Pretty straight-forward. First verse is about how the world is messed up, the government, corporations, etc...then segways into passing judgement and condemning anyone that's not a Christian. Nice.

Darren Hayes – Black Out the Sun Lyrics	12 years ago
I think it's funny that you mentioned the death of someone when most people would jump to the conclusion that it's about a relationship ending. But the actual fact is that Darren went in to record this song the day that Michael Jackson died and he was a huge fan of MJ and that probably came through in the emotion in his vocals.

Mumford & Sons – Little Lion Man Lyrics

14 years ago

I think the meaning of this song is pretty clear. It's about someone who is too busy being depressed and feeling sorry for themselves...blaming all their problems on someone else. They've lost touch with reality and they don't realize that they aren't the only one with feelings. They are causing themself to be absorbed by their depression and resentment instead of trying to fix anything or pull themself out of this state of mind.

DJ Sammy – Heaven (9/11 Version) Lyrics

15 years ago

I hate to ruing the...illusion...but the girl didn't lose her father. In fact, he is the one who created this unofficial remix. He put her in front of a mic and told her to repeat what he was saying and then edited it into the song. It's a work of fiction. If it moves you and you relate to it, well fictional work is allowed to do that, but I find personally find it a bit misleading. Especially because it took so little effort for someone who knows nothing about loss to make.

Paramore – That's What You Get Lyrics	16 years ago
I think the song is about a relationship being over and wanting to burn bridges and move on, but your heart won't let you.

Imogen Heap – Bad Body Double Lyrics	16 years ago
The song is clearly about insecurity and self esteem issues. She personifies these qualities as if they are another person trying to steal her identity trying to weasel their way into her life at the most inopportune times.

Imogen Heap – Half Life Lyrics

16 years ago

I think the song is about going into a relationship with someone who is very open about the fact that they aren't looking for something serious and that they aren't planning to settle down any time soon. Although she accepts this at the beginning and know that they both have busy lives, she can't help but get emotionally attached and fall in love...longing for more than what was agreed. The last few lines make me think she is talking about someone who is also a performer.

Lisa Loeb – I Do Lyrics

18 years ago

It's about her record label: "We were almost finished recording the album, Firecracker, and the record company told us that we still needed a single. I decided to write a song that sounded like a song about a realtionsthip, but was actually about the record company not "hearing" a single on the record already. You can hear it in the lyrics, "You can't hear it, but I do." The song ended up being an expression of strenght and power even when someone's not treating you right. When I play live concerts the audience always seems to cheer when they hear the lyric, "i'm starting to ignore you.""

R.E.M. – Losing My Religion Lyrics	18 years ago
Neither Michael Stipe or REM has ever actually explained what the song is about. Michael Stipe is bisexual and a friend who is a big REM fan told me it was about struggle with sexuality and religion. I however think it's just an obsessive love song that could be about a man or woman...it's still the same message.
