| Coldplay – Fix You Lyrics | 16 years ago |

The first time I heard this song I was in a very... sad time and by the time he was singing the line about tears streaming down your face there were so many tears streaming down my face. And that last chorus, down the octave... That is just amazing. I love Coldplay. |

| Coldplay – The Scientist Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think the Scientist is about a girlfriend dying, and the guy trying to say sorry for everything he did. He tries to rationalise with numbers and figures, but can't put logic and love together. I think the girl's dead because of a few things: 1. He says he's coming UP to meet her - sort of like she's in heaven now? 2. "Come back and haunt me". That's a heartbreaking line. 3. The music video shows him and a girl in a car crash, all backwards (he starts off at the end and goes back to the start). He survives, but the girl dies because she took off her seatbelt. If you love the song, definitely go and watch the video. It's amazing. |

Ooh I came up with a totally different interpretation than anyone here, albeit a very dark one... What I thought about the song was that it was talking from the point of view of a father, to his daughter ("little girl"). I imagine this father as having a pretty rough past, and I think this song's a bit about physical abuse. Like, the father telling the daughter to please hold him down. He doesn't know how to control himself and feels guilty and thinks that he's going to hell but is trying so hard to redeem himself, because he loves his daughter so much. The reason for the violence is given later I think - where he says, I ain't gonna make the same mistakes that put my mama in her grave... I interpreted that as meaning that his dad was also abusive and his mum and him suffered too... and he doesn't want to do the same thing to his daughter. He would love to be the perfect father - one that carries his daughter home, and loves her, but he's struggling and begging her to help him, to hold him down. Anyway, that's what I think. |

| Missy Higgins – Don't ever Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I don't really think the chorus is about someone leaving the girl - when she says, don't ever say you've tried to leave me in this life, I think it means, don't tell me you've tried to kill yourself. And the verses are her showing the boy how much they can do in life and to keep trying (which is why she says, don't ever say you've tried for the last time). BUt that's just my interpretation! |
