| The Lumineers – Stubborn Love Lyrics

This song is just all around beautiful.. from the instrumentals, to the flow in the sound of his voice. It goes from a story, to an all out desperate plea at the end, all along emphasizing the tiltle "Stubborn Love". Alice's interpretation is spot on to mine. He is clearly in love with someone who has a broken past that they can't seem to move on from. Everything externally may be telling the singer it's time to move on, and let her go - but internally, he knows how much pain she is in, and he just wants her to know she is loved, and capable of being loved. She on the other hand, clearly does not feel that way about herself. My favorite part of the song is the last verse, where he is basically screaming, and pleading with her to stay positive, and know that life is worth living, and worth feeling. I think it's no coincidence he only sings the lyrics "Head up love" in that last verse, where as in the rest he also sings "keep your head up, keep your love". He is desperate for her to know how much he "feels" her pain, and wants her to be able to keep her head up, and move forward from the darkness in her past... This song has moved me in so many ways, and i'm grateful that I was able to stumble across it. |

And All that I feel is the realness I'm faking
Taking my time but it's time that I'm wasting..
the best line of the song.. can relate to it in so many different ways, but the main message in all of it is just being fed up and sick of something, whatever it may be... |

I'm gonna go against everyone else and say it's about a relationship, whatever kind it may be, friends, bf/gf, family... and the two of them both have some issues and are always there to support one another, but one of them feels more involved, sort of one sided and more prone to help and support the other through hard times than the other person does for them. When the tables completely turn and the person thats always helping is in need of that support, they grow frustrated and begin to lash out. The thing about it is, it's always been like this and the other person isn't going to change because they cant find a way to. ("i'm in the middle of a breakdown, watching you scream.. don't say I didn't warn you that i'll always stay the same..") Which leads to the guilt they feel about the situation ("in the winding down hours i let your heart down again, what did i do to make a scene so gory?") and ultimately the two of them not talking anymore ("battered and bruised, broken confused, it's time we both knew.. can't stop what i've started, this time we both lose...") but hey, time heals everything so hopefully time will help that person heal and change |

| The Fray – How To Save A Life Lyrics

This song hits me deep every single time I hear it.. I had a really rough year a couple years ago, dealing with depression, having everything I knew in my life completly flipped around from family issues, etc.. I had one friend who I considered my sister, if there was a such thing as a "other half" she was it. She had a tough time dealing with me and helping me through my issues, she had some of her own as well she was struggling though. We both tried so hard to help each other, and ultimately we stopped talking. The reason why we did will never be clear. I needed her there and she slowly distanced herself away, while she felt as though it was me who was pushing her away. I tried to tell her how I felt, but she always said it was me.. "between the lines of fear and blame, you begin to wonder why you came..." I always left the conversation wondering why I even tried to bring it up.. it always hurt me more everytime I would talk about it.. "Lay down a list of what is wrong, things you've told them all along. PRAY to god he hears you, and PRAY to god he hears you..." I'll be the first to admit, i had somewhat pushed her away, but only because i was trying to protect her.. "Let him know that you know best, cause after all you do know best. ." I had my reasons for it, but she also let me push her away... In the end, it's now been a year, we haven't spoke, she wont come out and talk to me about it, and I dont think I can stand the hurt of bringing it up again only for her to not understand my feelings about it again.. We both hurt like hell from the loss of the friendship, and not a day goes by it doesnt haunt me.. "Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend somewhere along in the bitterness. And I would have stayed up with you all night, had I known, how to save a life...." had to one last time..
"How to save a Life"... my life anthem, thank you for writing such a beautiful song... |
