| Fort Minor – Right Now Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| my friend and teammate just committed suicide this week and it's been hell, but reading through these words, i realize that unfortunatly, things like this HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. To me, this realization was crazy powerful, and to see that bad things are going on in life all the time just sucks. what are we, as humans, going to do about this? | |
| Brand New – Fork and Knife Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I'm pretty sure that this song has strong Shakespere refrences... the main one alluding to Romeo and Juliet. The Capulets and Montagues were like the royalty of Verona almost, as shown by, "The closest thing we had to royalty, A chance to break our parents’ patterns"). This may be Jesse's way of saying that he's in love with a girl, but either their parents have tensions with each other or a set of parents doesn't agree with the relationship. For the 2 lines after that, I'm pretty sure it's palace insted of "pallets". These lines, "You chose to keep your teenage tragedy, In lieu of their romantic [palace]" probably mean that the two young lovers had the chance to break apart from their teenage tragedy and acheive ultimate happiness in a metaphorical "palace", but instead followed in the footsteps of Romeo and Juliet and caused some sort of fiasco. Furthermore, Jesse goes on to say, "Hold on to who you love. We are dry and blown like dust since we were young. The morning's over, the day is in full swing." Romeo goes to visit Friar Tuck in the morning to set up plans for his and Juliet's marriage. The plans to elope fail, and a few days later, the lovers accidentally commit a double suicide. The line about morning being over could mean that the plans have been made, and now are in the process of being executed (no pun intended.) |

| Brand New – Jaws Theme Swimming Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This is a story about a little girl who is abducted and hurt. It also details the life afterwards of someone close to her, probably a mother, an the end results. I'm going to try to analyze this line by line... "In a car outside, we stalk the idle kind" Obvious: we're stalking the not working people, probably children. "If you're leaving just let me know" To their associates: "Uncomfortable? Leave." Or, they could be talking to those who they're stalking. "Tobacco and pepermint, dusting fingerprints" Detectives, with fingerprint powder, searching for clues at the crimescene "A film in her eyes from the glow" Perhaps the victim of the stalkers has now been caught and drugged by her attackers. "Some rules are made with all intentions to break" This could be the attacker's rational for abducting the girl he earlier stalked. "And she defends it with a warped rationale" Maybe the girl thinks this is her all fault "And I've seen what happens to the wicked and proud when they" I've seen what happend to those who aren't careful and good "Decide to try to take on the throne for the crown" When they take on positions of power to be worshipped. "And we learn, as we age" Obvious. "We've learned nothing, and my body still aches." We've learned we've learned nothing, and all we have to show for it is an aching body. "And you take, 'cause they give" You take because its there "Though I love you and my body it leaks like a sieve" Again, attacker to prey. "When it got cold outside, smoke beneath the playground lights If you're coming home just let me know Sucking on your breath mint, dissected and stuck with pins A film in her eyes from the glow" This whole stanza is the story of the abduction, and how the abducter hurt the girl he kidnapped "Concrete and water, she's looking for her daughter" The mother is frantically running through the streets, looking for her baby. "At midnight in torrential downpour" In the storm "And everything I said about how messed up your head is" This suggests that the abducter has a twisted view of the world in which they think everyone else is sick "Was cut up and left in bits and pieces on the cutting room floor" And after he abducted the girl, he realized that he's the one who's sick "Take the picture from the wall when you think that nothing matters" When the mother is depressed later about losing her daughter, and about to give up hope, she looks at the pictures and remembers her child. "Take the picture from the frame and it's a long way's to the floor" She then takes the picture out of the frame, perhaps rips it to shreds, and throws the mess to the floor. "Cut your finger on the edge 'cause it's sharper than they told you." She breaks the glass after throwing the frame to the floor and when she goes to pick it up, cuts her finger "Take a leap from out the window 'cause it's way to far to go through the door" It hurts too much for her to keep living, so she commits suicide. |

| Tori Amos – Bells For Her Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The song is about friends and how they thought they'd be best friends forever, but now they hate each other because of some betrayal. At one point, the friend wanted to be just like her, hence the "I have your voice line", to which the narrator of the song responds that she is beautiful and individual, and doesn't need to be like her. It sounds like a relationship with a man tore the friends apart, but the narrator has accepted it. However, she's still worried, even though she says they act like "blankettes", I thought that was her way of saying they acted like a word she can't even bring herself to say.... But somehow, she can't stop loving her friend |

| Sia – The Girl You Lost to Cocaine Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I have two interpretations for this song, both of which I'll share. Number 1: This is her talking to a drug-addicted friend about how she's always been there for him or her, and how it's time to stop. They're "always at meltdown", meaning that they're about to break down at any moment, and she's always taken care of them. Now, she wants to have her own life insted of being her friend's mother and is willing to give up the friendship because at this point, the friend doesn't wanna quit. The line "So look in the mirror, look for the glass" refers to maybe doing lines off of a glass mirror, and the last line, "I’m just a girl that you lost to cocaine" means that her friend doesn't want to give up the coke, so said friend has lost her because of the unwillingless to quit the habit. Number 2: This is her conversation to the drug she adores; cocaine. She personifies the cocaine, making it sound like a friend. She's been it's buddy, "through thick and through thin", and has let the drug live through her "smell, sight and touch". However, she realizes that she has to quit, because the cocaine has taken over her life ("See I’ll never get laid, while I’m running your life"). She thinks the coke, her best friend, needs to have a life on its own, which it can't, obviously, but she wants it to "cut her loose" and let her out of her addiction. The lines below that might refer to her personifying a line of coke on a mirror, waiting for her to snort it, but she's saying she won't, because she's walking away from her last line. She doesn't want the drama that a life involving drugs entails, and she has a lot to deal with, because she's the girl that once belonged to someone, but that someone lost her to coke. |

| Sia – Blow It All Away Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
1st stanza: Even after all I've learned about you and the world, after all this time, I always knew, from the very beginning that you were stupid and weak 2nd Stanza: (Note: I always heard the word "lies" as "lines", which would make sense, as the title "Blow it All Away" is a cocaine reference, but I'll provide interpretation to both...) With it being "lies": you're a liar, you'll lie to anyone, but you live in solitude? not so sure on this... With it being "lines": How is it that you can do so much cocaine? You're not picky about who you do it with, either. You live in the underground party scene... you're a fake. 3rd Stanza: Even if you had everything, I could never let you back into my life [underlying message: we were such good friends. what happened?] 4th Stanza: You're too busy doing coke, and you're [literally] blowing away everything you have. 5th and 6th Stanzas: If you die, I'll stall my own death and learn from your mistakes [by not doing cocaine] (again, not sure on this), I see and feel that you are not being brought down by anyone, not me, nor the drug. Stanzas 7, 8, and 9: If you want to be destroyed by the drugs, it's your perrogitive, but I won't let it happen: I'll fight you to the core of the lies, but you won't let me, because you're so intent on blowing everything that you have going for you. Stanzas 10-the end: If you want to be naive, that's fine, but eventually, you will be held accountable for your actions, and you must act your age, dropping that naiviety bull****, and if you don't you'll blow it all away, just like you're doing now. |
