| The Goo Goo Dolls – Here Is Gone Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I love this song. To me, it's about the end of a relationship that he thought was going to be permanent. Whenever I listen to it, it reminds me clear as day of when my fiancee and I broke off our engagement. The whole notion of "somehow here is gone" is the idea that what he believed to be his life was not actually true, and the struggle to cope with the fact that maybe it never was. I hear a narrator who is searching for answers. |

This is the best song that Linkin Park has ever done. That's it. That's all I wanted to say. I've been a fan for a long time, I had a whole big long analysis. But, really, that's it. This is the best song they've ever done. |

| OneRepublic – Stop and Stare Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think this is a great song. The vision I get from the song is of him on the outskirts of a town, about to leave the life he's known. Who knows what has spurred this desire to leave, maybe a relationship gone bad, or maybe he is not where he thought he'd be in terms of his career. The line "I'm staring down myself, counting up the years" is a very reflective line which leads me to believe that he is not happy with where his life choices have taken him. The song title, "Stop and stare," is him pausing for one last look before leaving his life behind. The use of "us" in the beginning I find interesting. I think that the narrator is looking at himself with a mirror, and referring to "us" and him and his reflection. The line "Steady hands, just take the wheel" is another great line. The decision to leave is a hard one and he has thoughts of abandoning his plan. But, he knows that it's the right decision to move on and he is trusting that his hands will steer him in the right direction. A very reflective song, and one that anybody who has ever been at a major crossroads in their life can relate to. |
