Taking Back Sunday – You're So Last Summer Lyrics 18 years ago
I'm not the biggest fan of TBS but this song really gets to me. It's so true to certain situations. A few situations, actually. I'll analyze it, just for fun. Since I'm going through this same situation, it really gives me clarity on this song. Beware: Bitterness may come in here.

I think it could be about a few different situations as I mentioned before. One that's coming to my mind right now is the one I'm going through right now.

It could be about a girl that broke up with him and is still leading him on, and still has a hold on him. She knows she can make him do whatever she wants to do. First scenario that comes to my mind: The girl said she was in love with him for however long they had been dating. Then she just breaks up with him out of the blue and goes right to someone else. Yet she's still leading him on, saying she loves him and everything. But still, she's killing him. It could be partly because he knows what's going on. Since she's doing that, or maybe since she's moved on so quick and so obviously, he's saying "maybe I should hate you for this." but he can't hate her. Because he's in love with her. Because maybe, just maybe, he gave his all into that relationship, just to be fucked over.

Then there's the part: "The truth is you could slit my throat, and in my one last gasping breath I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt." That's the part that hits me the hardest. He finds himself apologizing things that are not his fault. Even when he does nothing wrong, he's apologizing. Just hoping that she won't be mad at him anymore if he says he's sorry for what he did. He finds himself thinking he's in the wrong, maybe, just because she says she's upset. Even though she's the one that's slowly killing him. He apologizes about things he hasn't done wrong.

"I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions." Maybe he's hoping, wishing he'll get her back. The worst intentions? I think that comes from pretending to be innocent when he's talking about the new person in the girls life. He pretends to be happy for her, but not with good intentions. Maybe he's just hoping that it won't last and he'll be there to pick up the pieces, somehow.

That's my situation right there, for the most part. Give or take a few parts I wrote in there. I'm sure it's about something completely different. But that's the point. You don't really know. You can relate it to so many situations. That's what makes the song so great.

Matchbook Romance – Lovers & Liars Lyrics 18 years ago
God, I love this song. This is just one of those songs when you're just in this situation and you can't stop thinking about it. Then the line just comes into your head and you just have to listen to it. At least that's how it is for me. lol. I guess some parts of this song are unclear. The girl is obviously just blaming him for everything, using everything he's ever said or done against him. As to why he's sorry, he could be referring to just about anything. Cheating, maybe. But from what I know about the type of girl he's talking about, it could just be one of those things where he finds himself apologizing when he didn't do anything wrong. You never know. Either way, it's a great song for a bad break up.

Bree Sharp – David Duchovny Lyrics 18 years ago
I'm so in love with this song. And with David Duchovny himself. Because, hello, who wouldn't be? This has to be one of my all time favorites. Although I'd have to agree with the ones who said they wouldn't kill Scully. I'm kind of in love with her too. Makes me laugh at the music video when the girl has David's poster on her ceiling. I have a Gillian poster above my bed. haha. Either way, amazing song. Except everyone I know gets sick of it. I try to jam to it in my car but every time I put it in the cd player I get uugh not David Duchovny!

OneRepublic – Apologize Lyrics 18 years ago
Well, boy does this sound familiar. I'm in the same boat. Always crushing me and then coming back. Saying it'll never happen again and it always does. Pretty sure that's what the whole song is about. Not many people are as strong as this guy when he says its just too late. My case is the same as this guys. Yet I find myself apologizing when I did nothing wrong. Just for fun, although its been analyzed a hundred times here, I'm gonna do it.

"I'm holding on a rope
Got me 10 feet off the ground"

Pretty self explanatory. She's stringing him along, and he's letting her. He can't let go even though he knows he's being strung along.

"I'm hearin' what you say but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me then you go and cut me down
But wait
You tell me that you're sorry didn't think I'd turn around and say:"

Well, pretty much what it says. She keeps telling him that she needs him. But then she goes back and screws him over all over again. But this time, he's not going to take it. Instead...he's just going to say...:

"That it's too late to apologize
Too late
Said it's too late to apologize
Too late"

...I don't want to hear your apologizes anymore. It's too late. The damage is done and I'm not standing for it anymore.

"I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you"

He's giving her another chance to make things right. He's letting her in and risking the heart break again. But instead she just shoots him down again.

"I need you like a heart needs a beat, it's nothing new"

He needs her, obviously. But she's known that all along. Still, she continues to play these games and make him miserable.

"Yeah
I loved you with a fire red now it's turning blue"

I'm not really sure how to explain that. His love for her is changing. Dying, maybe. He's starting to realize that he can't go through all this anymore.

"And you say
Sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you"

She says sorry in a way that makes him want to believe her so badly. Like she's completely innocent and can do no wrong. Like she's the one hurting in the situation that she put them in.

"But I'm afraid

It's too late to apologize
Too late
Said it's too late to apologize
Too late"

Blah blah blah...too late, too late, too late. I've gone over this.

"I'm holding on a rope
Got me 10 feet off the ground"

Right back where he started again. He can't help it. No matter how badly she hurts him, no matter how many times she plays him and screws him over, he can't help going back. He's addicted, I guess. And it's not a good addiction.
