Coldplay – Don't Let It Break Your Heart Lyrics 14 years ago
Those are not the lyrics I submitted..tried correcting them, but they remain the same. LyricFind's to blame? Ohwell.

These are the correct lyrics:


And if I lost the map
If I lost it all
Or fell into the trap
Then she'd call:

"When you're tired of racing
And you find you never left the start
Come on baby, don't let it break your heart"

Though heavily we bled
Still on we crawl
Try to catch a cannonball
And a slowly burning tide
Through my veins is flowing
From my shipwreck I heard her call
And she said:

"When you're tired of aiming your arrows
Still you never hit the mark
Even in your rains and shadows
Still we're never gonna part

Come on baby, don't let it break your heart
Don't let it break your heart"

Blink-182 – Up All Night Lyrics 14 years ago
I think it's just talking about how everyone has to deal with their demons/struggles everyday, and I dont know, maybe find comfort in the fact that we're not alone because everyone else is fighting through the same thing?

Anyway. I actually love the song despite the negative criticisms about it. It doesn't sound completely like the old blink, but face it, they've grown up and it affects their sound too. They're still awesome no matter what. Looking forward to the rest of the album!

Sleeping At Last – Unmade Lyrics 15 years ago
I agree, this song is beautiful.

I think we can interpret this song generally, it doesn't have to refer to theology or the Bible.
It's basically about human pride, in regards to people's words. It's about how people like to judge, play God, and express it with their words (thus putting "words inside God's mouth"). We get so proud over our theories and judgments, we don't realize we're actually not as right as we think we are. In the process, we hurt others, and in the end, we'll realize we're just hurting ourselves, losing so much more than we've ever won..all because of our pride. I think the song is called Unmade to inspire us to "unmake" ourselves, to strip ourselves off our pride, humble ourselves, and return to what we were supposed to be.

Arms Like Yours – Inhale Exhale Lyrics 15 years ago
this sounds like a break up song to me. someone broke up with him, he's still deeply in love with her, but she doesnt want to get back with him. so now he has to force himself to move on ("So bury that trace of affection for me, and I'll force my feet to move").

Number One Gun – White Lies Lyrics 15 years ago
i think the first line is "yesterday i was hiding right under my smile"..that makes more sense too.

seems to me the song's about regretting his white lies..now he has to live with the consequences and he can't believe it's all real, happening to him all at once. but part of that is, he's accepting himself that he's just a normal man that makes mistakes, and his mistakes make him a normal man. :)

B.o.B – Airplanes Part 1 Lyrics 15 years ago
awesome song. and hayley is, as always, amazing.

pretty obvious meaning..the song's about how he misses the old days, when he used to rap just for the sake of rapping, when the world was way simpler, with none of that glamorous living madness.

Anchor & Braille – In Retrospect, it was Obviously Hell Lyrics 16 years ago
This song is called "Introspect" on the final album..I think the title should be changed.. :)

Well to me the meaning's pretty obvious. He's in a relationship that kills him bit by bit. That relationship used to be the most wonderful thing in the world but for whatever reason (most probably because his partner lied to him many times), he's incredibly tired of it now. Seems like he's still in love with her, she has a way of charming him ("I may be lost here, here in your eyes"), but the chemistry is gone, and she's hurt him too deeply too many times. So he's questioning himself, "is this heaven or is this hell?" He's too tired to think due to all the pain he's feeling.

It's a sad song :( but it sounds beautiful :]

submissions
The Maine – Whoever She Is Lyrics 16 years ago
Well to me the meaning's pretty obvious..

SHE = things that we are concerned about in our lives

So basically we face a lot of things in our everyday life (money, cars, fear of the dark, our best friends, strangers in bars, rainy days, minimum wage, fears of whether or not we'll fit in). Some of these things may be good things, but sometimes we might face some troubles about them.

So whatever troubles we're facing, what/whoever "she" is, no matter how shitty your day/week/month/year is, just remember these things:
- know who we are
- get support from our real friends, those who've been there from the start
- get over the material things
- to hell with all the bad news
- and DONT WORRY

Yes, I got it all from the song. Go read the lyrics.

Anberlin – Dance, Dance, Christa Paffgen Lyrics 16 years ago
The meaning of the song is pretty obvious. Basically this person is so in love with Christa Paffgen (or possibly someone else that symbolizes her) that he's obsessed and addicted to her, just as she is addicted to those drugs..it's all in the life story of Christa Paffgen.
This song gives me chills every time I listen to it. Such an awesome song!

Jars of Clay – Closer Lyrics 16 years ago
This song is incredible! It's video-game tunes are adorable, the melodies of the song so happy, the lyrics so witty..I can't get enough of this!

I'm not sure who this song is directed to but in my perspective it sounds like it's a song about a couple who know they need each other so much:
"Cause the rockets we're in get so cold and I miss your skin"

But they know they can't be together, whatever the reason:
"I’m a pail on your boat with slow leaks"

And yet they still know how much they complete each other:
"You’re my shirt, I an arm...You’re the L and the V, I’m the O and the E"

And of course, my favorite..
"I’m the tick, you’re the bomb"
So witty! They fit for each other perfectly, but they're the grand recipe for disaster.

I dont know, just my two cents. haha.

Keane – Spiralling Lyrics 17 years ago
When I first listened to the intro, I was like, "what??"
But then it got better as I listened more. The style of music is definitely not the usual Keane, but i guess the lyrics still show who they are. Anyway, in the previous album, the song that made them huge "Is it any wonder" didn't sound much like their other songs. Maybe they're using the same technique here? Maybe for publicity reasons, the first single they release has to be a song that could be well received by the public, not only by the fans that will love their work no matter what anyway..

Btw, a lot of people say that Keane is similar to Coldplay. This song could be an "in your face" answer to that comment. lol.

Phantom Planet – Leader Lyrics 17 years ago
In this album, Alex Greenwald focuses his songwriting on subjects of cults that he's fascinated with.

Here's what he said: "I became fascinated with how a cult will start with a charismatic leader whose heart possibly could have been in the right place within their distortion of reality. Somehow this clicked with me as unifying the songs."

I'm pretty sure this particular song is all about the mass suicide instigated by Rev. Jim Jones..it's pretty straightforward, really. He's the leader, and he's telling his congregation that the "end is nigh," therefore encouraging them to "be reborn."

Jimmy Eat World – Dizzy Lyrics 18 years ago
These are the correct lyrics from the album:

You close your eyes and kiss your hand, then blow it
But it isn't meant for me and I notice
if the choice was ours alone
Then why did we both choose letting go?
Does it end like this?

Time never had a chance to heal your heart
Just a number, always counting down to a new start
If you always knew the truth
Then the world would spin around you
Are you dizzy yet?

Respectfully, some hoesty I'm calling out
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
Back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it all

Talk not a lot to think, we were living dreams
Shame never crept close to our naked feet
If there's something left to lose
Then don't let me wear out my shoes, I'm still walking

I tried but it rang and rang
I called all night on a pay phone (remember those!) from another life
If everything I meant to you, you can lick and seal then fold in two
Then i've been so blind

Respectfully, some hoesty I'm calling out
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
Back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it all

Oh, oh, take it all back take the first, your last, your only
Oh, oh, take it all back, take it all back, everything you showed me
Oh, oh, this must be how it feels
When the feeling goes, oh

I told you as I hovered I'd never felt this way
You said: I had the shot that stops my clock.
Baby, it's ok
You said you'd never have regrets, Jesus!
Is there someone yet who got that wish?
Did you get yours? babe?

Respectfully, some honesty I'm asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
Back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment..when your eyes meet mine, we show it all

Editors – Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors Lyrics 18 years ago
This song's meaning becomes clearer to me when I try not paying too much attention to who "you" and "I" are referring to.

This song is full of irony. It's basically the story of a man in his hospital bed, knowing that he's going to die. When he reviews the things everything that he did in his life, he feels like he has wasted his life away for doing bad things ("dirty hands"). He has been living his life recklessly, not caring how the bad things that he did affected people around him ("blindfold down..eyes can't see..run as fast as you can.."). He is frustrated with his regrets, and he gets even more sad when he realizes that there are people out there wasting his life away ("smokers outside the hospital doors"). He only wants one more chance to live so that he can change the way that he's been living. He wants to "wear his smile" which means sharing his message to people so that they will believe him and won't waste their life away just like he did. But he knows that people can't believe him because he's going to die (mouth is "wide shut" and "i cant hear you")

The irony is, this man in the hospital really wants to change his life, but he has no more chance. While the smokers outside the hospital doors have the chance to change their lives, but they don't want to.

I'm not sure about how the singer intended this song's meaning, but we can interpret it positively. The end of this song is the main part of the song:
"we've all been changed from what we were
our broken parts smashed off the floor"
In this life, maybe we started as good people. But because of the hurts and pains we got in the past, we've been changed to someone who is bitter. We're not good anymore, just the way we used to be. But regardless of all our broken parts, let's not be like this man who regrets everything that he did in his last moments. We should check ourselves, are we being who we wanted to be? Are we proud of our lives? Are we good? Are we going to end our lives with regrets? For sure, I don't want to die a broken man.

Oh and btw, the video's really beautiful, although i'm not sure yet how it connects to the song. :)
