M83 – Reunion Lyrics 13 years ago
Can I just say that this is a beautiful comment? It's more eloquent that anything I could have ever dreamed of writing about this song. You put into words what I feel about this song so perfectly.

The Weeknd – The Knowing Lyrics 14 years ago
I don't know why, but this song breaks the fuck out of my heart.

"You probably thought that break my heart.
You probably thought that you make me cry.
But baby it's okay,
I swear it's okay.
'Cause I know everything"

The message of the song is obvious. But I almost feel like the speaker of the song has to redeem himself by cheating on her because she cheated on him. Then he makes me think about the vicious cycle, and how love means nothing to anyone these days. Its just one big game of trickery.

The Weeknd – Wicked Games Lyrics 14 years ago
When my friends smoke weed, they spray down their clothes and cars with perfume or body spray. I guess the same could be said about alcohol in order to get rid of the smell. So I've always assumed he was saying that the girl doesn't need a shot to get high - just some purple Sprite would do the trick.

City and Colour – As Much As I Ever Could Lyrics 16 years ago
I honestly didn't really like this song at first... until Dallas started singing "Bring me your love tonight." Something about that little key change made my skin come alive and I felt a tear well up. This song breaks my heart.

As Tall as Lions – Duermete Lyrics 16 years ago
Why are there no more comments on this song? It is absolutely beautiful. And for anyone who may read this who randomly clicked on this song, and you haven't heard it, please listen to it. It is a little lengthy but you won't notice. Not a bit.

This song reminds me, personally, of having a really horrible weekend. And then the weekend comes and everything is okay. You're on fire, and you demand attention from people who willingly give it. You're just waiting on better days that are ahead, but until then you know you will get along just fine and live the weeks just for the weekends.

I know that may not be exactly what the song is about, but that is what its about for me. Everyone should find their own meaning in songs. What a beautiful art. But please give this a hear.

Say Anything – Crush'd Lyrics 16 years ago
Max is married, so I'm pretty sure he doesn't believe that. He says "they" so I'm thinking he is speaking to people who told him not to get married, or just people in general that think marriage is pointless.

Paramore – Ignorance Lyrics 16 years ago
I have to admit, I did NOT like this song until I listened to it last week, probably for the 100th time, and it just clicked -- a meaning developed for me. I've been dealing with a lot of friends screwing me over lately. They try to make me out to be the bad guy, that I'm the one who's the bitch, who talks shit, etc. But its not just me, and I'm tired of being blamed. Well, this song has become my anthem to all of my so called "friends" who have deserted me for no reason.

If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore
Where's your gavel?
Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge
But if you're gonna judge me
Well, sentence me to another life

- Go ahead and judge me. Point the finger at me. Place all the blame on me. I'll take it like I always have and won't do a thing about it.

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
Don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same, no
We're not the same, no
Oh, we're not the same
Yeah, the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I wish you could accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good

-We were best friends but something has changed between us. We have changed and we don't like the changes we see. We can't get along like we used to. Everything was fake.

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out

-When we run into each other, we'll pretend like we don't know each other. We'll say hello just to be civil but we'll walk separate ways.

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no
It's not a rapture
I'm just a person, but you can't take it

-You can't stand who I am. I couldn't take the fakeness anymore and I'm glad that I can be myself instead of some other person to suit you.

The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well, now I can fend for myself

-I know your devious ways now. I knew them before, but I just ignored them because it was the easiest thing to do. I'm going to stand up for myself from now own. I will challenge your word whether you like it or not. I don't have anything to lose anymore.

Mayday Parade – The Silence Lyrics 16 years ago
If you can't comprehend what this song is about, please go back to first grade.

Mayday Parade is not Mayday Parade anymore. They should have changed their band name when they decided to change their sound. It is obvious that this band depended on Jason for their music and success. This song is so boring and cliche. I can find about 100 other songs just like this, and that is not what Mayday Parade used to be about. I wish they could find their old sound again and stick to that. That is why I liked them, because they were different, and they were not writing shit like this.

Don't get me wrong, I will still love them and their (old) music. I'm also not here to offend anyone. I'm here because I'm a bitter fan. I don't like change, and change they did.

RIP Mayday Parade.

Mayday Parade – The Silence Lyrics 16 years ago
Oh THANK GOD someone who has some music sense! This new album is horrible. Ever since Jason left, everything has gone downhill. If you want to hear a sound similar to the OLD Mayday, then everyone should listen to Go Radio, Jason's new band.

This song is growing on me, only because I can relate to it at this point in my life. I would be in the guy's shoes and not the girls. I'm the cold one who keeps it silent. But anyway, if I do develop a like for it, it won't be for long because it's so cliche and sounds like everything else on the radio. People will be forgetting about this album in a month. Watch what I say. Who knows if we'll ever see anything from Mayday again. And thats just the honest truth.

Nevertheless – It's No Secret Lyrics 16 years ago
I can't believe no one has commented on this song. Its absolutely beautiful.
I'd like to dispute the last line in the second verse. I'm pretty sure he says "I ran away" instead of "I'll run away."

Personally I think this song is about being in a relationship and not knowing where to go. You know you need that person, and could never seen yourself without them yet you want to run away to someone else. Do you take that chance or just stay with the one you're with now? I can relate to this song so much because I'm in the same situation now.

Also, this song could apply to a religious standpoint. You know you need God, yet you still sin and do things you shouldn't but its hard to fight temptation.

Copeland – Love Affair Lyrics 17 years ago
The way this song starts out is just astounding. Aaron knows how to pull you right in. He breaks my heart at the first word and all the imagery he uses puts me in a different frame of mind.

I think this song is about a girl who is in a relationship, but she's torn. She wants to break free from the bonds of a relationship, then again she doesn't want to put her significant other through any kind of pain. She needs freedom, she needs to run, she needs choices, she needs to be her own self. She doesn't know what to do with her heart or with the love she has for her significant other. She's scared of what she's feeling and she doesn't know what to do. She's assessing the relationship and is trying to figure out what went wrong and when.

This is exactly my situation now. It fits me to a t. This is why I love Copeland.

Paramore – I Caught Myself Lyrics 17 years ago
I can't figure out who or what I want this song to be about. That's what I like about this song -- it makes me think. I wish Hayley would say something about who she wrote this about and I wish everyone would stop interviewing her about "Decode." I'm so over that song... well except the acoustic version now. I think this song is much better.

At first when I heard this song I thought it was about Edward, but I was only on "Twilight." I wasn't aware of what else was coming. I mean, Edward was always leaving her breathless and he was hypnotic. At the time it made sense. Now I this it's about Bella's feelings for Jacob. However, I just finished the third book and I'm about the start the fourth. The song is all about confusion of feelings. From Bella's point of view, who does she chose? She keeps being pulled down by Jacob, getting confused, thinking things she shouldn't be, not believing in Jacob, knowing in her heart its not him (but Ed instead) etc.

And then there is Edward. Poor Edward... he doesn't know what he wants either. He's tired of hurting Bella and he wants her to be happy. However, he's in a bind because she won't be happy without him, yet he keeps hurting her. However, I don't see how "I know in my heart it's not you" fits his thoughts.

Ahhh, who knows?

Copeland – The Last Time He Saw Dorie Lyrics 17 years ago
Live, live, live.
Live because you love love love.
And love will make you give give give.
And give in when you break, break, break.
But you just want to fix yourself.
Just to break again.

These are some of my favorite lyrics ever. They speak volumes to me. Every time I listen to this song the words, lyrics, vocals just kill me. You don't come across songs like this very often.

Max does have a soul.

"Its really a love story record. Its about how love really can lift you up and destroy you and all those things. I think its an important think people should always sing about. Love is really whats gonna save the world if anything will and redeem everyone, and therefore its always something worth singing about."

Say Anything – The Church Channel (feat. Hayley Williams) Lyrics 17 years ago
I don't understand how someone is saying these songs are literal. If these songs were literal, then these events would LITERALLY be happening. This song is believable but the others on the album are totally not. That's the point of metaphors; (which if you are a SA fan you should know Max uses them religiously) they disguise the truth, give it a new face so to speak, and you have to figure out the truth and what message the metaphor is hiding. Therefore, these songs are NOT literal. Just read the lyrics to "Retarded in Love." Max tells you right there.

Anberlin – Younglife Lyrics 17 years ago
I absolutely love this song. I'm 22, so I'm at the time of my life where I never see my younglife friends anymore. They're all having babies and planning marriages. It's so depressing but this song helps me re-live all of those memories.

The first time staying out all night
The last time that we got away with lies
We can hear it in the back of our minds
Over and over again...

I wanna do it again!

Brighten – We Are Birds Lyrics 17 years ago
I love this fact this song is based around that quote from the Notebook. I didn't even put that together.

I have a q:
Does he say "Cause IN love is not the right time to die" (like he's in love with a girl) Or "...THEN love is not the right time to die"
Sounds like "in love" to me.

Death Cab for Cutie – What Sarah Said Lyrics 17 years ago
I've read a lot of the comments on here, and a lot of you have so many touching stories. I feel like I can relate in some way to each of you that have shared something.

I was just now watching the video. Every time I watch it, I just cry and cry. I think about my parents. My dad had to watch my mother die of cancer. You wouldn't believe how much he loved her. They shared such a true love. My mom passed away, then he did only two years later. He had a stroke but I believe he died of a broken heart. I had to watch her die too though. I always went with her to the hospital. I remember the doctors and the nurses. I remember her having to go through radiation and how sick she would be. I would say that love really is watching someone die. I never gave up on her and she never gave up on me. I will always love her and my dad more than words or a song can say.

Dashboard Confessional – So Impossible Lyrics 18 years ago
This is my favorite DBC song. I like to tie it to "Remember to Breathe." I don't know if anyone else has said that, but I really don't feel like going through 7 pages of comments. Anyway, this song is asking the girl to go to the party, and then I like to think of "Remember to Breathe" as what he's doing while he's getting ready with all the nervousness and pre-party jitters. Ahh I just love it :D

Lifehouse – From Where You Are Lyrics 18 years ago
When I hear this song, I think of my parents. I lost them when I was younger. This song hits home.

"So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us worlds apart
And I miss you, yeah I miss you"
-We are worlds apart...

"I'm standing underneath the stars
And I wish you were here"
-I'm in love with the stars. My dad bought my first telescope. He showed me where the big and little dippers were. Every time I look up at the night sky, I think of him and my big red telescope.

"I miss the years that were erased"
-I wish I would have had more years to share with them

"I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face"
-We always made impromptu trips to the beach. My parents loved it with a passion. My mom loved to fish. She always came back with a cooler of fish, and I always came back with a sunburn.

"I miss all the little things"
-...like laying on my mom's lap watching tv or playing Frisbee outside with my dad

"I never thought that they'd mean everything to me"
-You don't know what you have until it's gone

"Yeah I miss you
And I wish you were here"
-Understatement of the year

Jimmy Eat World – Always Be Lyrics 18 years ago
thecrowing, you're a genius in your interpretation. I love it. It's so... me. I completely relate to it.

I was just a [girl] like every other
I thought I was something fierce
I thought i was ten times smarter
Love would be something that I just know
How are you gonna know the feeling
Until you lost it
I'm been losing plenty since
--Even though I've had little love experience, I always thought I knew what there was to know about it. I thought I was going to be a master has control my heart and interpreting my feelings. I've been so wrong, and so wrong so many times. And you really don't know what you had until you lost it. You can't see what was going on in front of your eyes until you step back from everything. You don't know your know your real feelings until you can get away from the dream world you've been in. Jim is for sure right about that one.

Jimmy Eat World – Dizzy Lyrics 18 years ago
"Dizzy" is my favorite song off the new album. I can't get enough of it. It brings me to tears because this lyrics fit perfectly to my present situation with a guy. It completely fits the awkwardness of our situation and I've finally found a song to fit how I'm feeling.

I'm sure my interpretation may not be right, but then again whose is?

"You close your eyes and kiss your hand, then you blow it, but it isn't meant for me, and I noticed. If the choice was ours alone, then why'd we both choose letting go? Does it end like this?"
--Maybe the girl is seeing someone else. She doesn't have the same feelings for the guy in her past, and is ready for move on to the guy who has her attention now, in the present.

"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 will spin around you. Are you dizzy yet?"
--The girl's heart is still damaged from previous relationships, yet she still chose to jump into a new relationship. Everyone knows thats relationship suicide. He's "just a number" and she knew it but didn't want to admit it. He's bitter towards her for it. Her world is "spinning" and out of control.

"Respectfully, so in honesty I'm calling out. Do you hear the conversation we talk about? I'll 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 off."
--He just wants the truth when they talk to each other about their relationship. Until she's ready he'll back off but reminds her when their eyes meet there is something between them. Maybe she's not ready or doesn't want to admit they have a connection between them.

"All talk and not a lot to think, we're living dreams. And shame never crept close to our naked feet. If there's something left to lose then don't let me wear out my shoes that I still walk in."
--They're living in a dream world, putting on a show in public but problems lie beneath their facade. The "shame" and "naked feet" makes me think they were stronger in the physical side of their relationship as opposed to the emotional side. When it comes to the "shoes" he doesn't want to lose her AND the "shoes." I think it's his way of saying don't wear out his heart, let him use it and keep it strong for someone else. He doesn't want to end up like her.

"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't lick and seal then fold in two then I've been so blind."
--He's done his best to contact her, but she doesn't answer. They obviously have communication problems as stated in another verse. He knows she may not be good at talking about or explaining her feelings, but if she can't at least write them in a letter, fold it in two, send it in an envelope to him then he feels like he's been a fool. He knows that he should have gotten out before he was in too deep.

[Chorus]

"Aw, aw take it all back, take your first, your last, your only. Aw, aw take it all back, take it all back, everything you showed me. Aw, aw this must be how it feels and the feeling goes on..."
--He wants her to take back everything that's hers because he doesn't want her kisses, hugs, words, love, nothing. Being that this is his first time dealing with this kind of situation he's reflecting on it by saying "Oh, so this is how it feels." and the feeling never ceases.

"I told you as I haven't, I never felt this way. You said I have the shot that stops my clock. Baby it's okay. You said you never have regrets. Jesus, is there someone yet who got that wish? Did you get yours, babe?"
--The guy has never been in this situation before, and may not know what to do. As far as the shot... I'm not sure. Maybe she's saying that she has what it takes to end the relationship. She says she never regrets anything, and he's wanting to know does she really think people go through life with absolutely no regrets. I think it's his way of saying she's naive, and is she sure she doesn't regret anything that happened while they were together or what she's about to do.

[Chorus]
