| As Tall as Lions – 96 Heartbeats Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Guy loves girl with all his being. Girl loves guy, but her friends don't like it. They're jealous bitter old hags and they're only 17. They try to distort her love and corrupt her with doubt in the guy. Guy is sick of it. |

| Unkle Bob – The Hit Parade Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think this song is about a guy and a girl who've had a hot/cold relationship where their timing is always off. He hurts her, she hurts him. Happens all the time. This song is during one of the times when she's hurting him. He wants to be with her with everything he has, but in the back of his mind, he can't rule out the option that she's just going to refuse him and leave him high and dry, repeating the cycle again and again and again and again. As for the lines: "I want to get laid I want to get played I want to walk down the hit parade" She's causing him so much pain again, he's just doing what every guy does. He says he wants sex from some chick he doesn't even know and just get played, but he's completely aware that he doesn't want either. It's a man's "tough-guy" facet singing there. He's still in love with her and wishes she were his. He knows those feelings may go away in time, but he doesn't want them to. He wants them to be together now, the way it should've been a long time ago. Oh, shit, I was supposed to comment the song....whoops. Uhhh...I WANNA GET LAID! I WANNA GET PLAYED! I WANNA WALK DOWN THE HIT PARADE! -_- |

Well to shed a little more light on it, I can tell a current story that is applicable. Maybe it'll add to your understanding. I once knew a girl who was quite lovely, inside and out, who became very special to me. Me and that girl became very close, and my victory was at hand. We could've been together and been happy. But there was another girl that I had liked for a long time, nothing too serious, but just always wanted to be with her. Like a fool, I chose that girl over the first one. She broke up with me in less than 3 weeks. I threw away something that could've been one of the best things I've ever had. One day, I realized this, and I knew that I just had to get her back. I needed to feel that again. I needed her love, and I know she needed mine. I would come back anew, knowledgeable of my stupid mistake and willing to change, and we could be together. But it wasn't that easy. It seldom is actually. This time around, I had competition. Two boys, one from her past, and a new one. And then me. In the end, I lost. That's the history. Here's how it's even the slightest bit applicable. "There comes a time For everyone To sit down and assess what's there and what is not there Eternally up in the air" -I'm sitting here knowing I don't have her and I'm miserable inside. "And it seems that time has come for you And it figures now I was only the one who needed to appear and cause a turn of events To force a turn of events" -Me wanting to be with her again is really what set off this whole competition. Made it fierce, and she really had a tough time for about 3 months. "It's also fitting somehow That I should be the last to know And I'm blown away When my friend tells me that it's so What did I give you That's harder to answer than what did I take" -It's fitting I should feel like this shit because I led her on, and she's led me on too now. -Her best friend, who's my best friend ended up telling me. "What did I mean to you?" -Self explanatory. I wonder it myself. I feel in my heart that she and I will be together someday. I mean, I fucked her up and let her down and hurt her. Now, she's fucked me up and let me down and hurt me. If Hollywood cliches are right (And think about it, cliches are cliches because they actually happen) it should be a movie script ending where we both fall madly in love together and end up holding eachother as the screen fades to black. Hahahahaah. Wishful thinking, but to quote Ben Gibbard: "And I do believe it's true, that there are roads left in both of our shoes." There's my $0.02. |

| José González – Heartbeats Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I agree with Jujuka. This song is as personal as it gets. Whether it's his haunting melody or the lyrics, Jose gets into you. I feel it's about two people who missed out on eachother and are wondering what they could've been, but also both have a hint of wonder as to if they can be now. That might be going off tangent though and becoming my personal story. I fucked things up with a girl who was incredibly special to me, and I didn't realize it until I chose another girl over her. Now I realize what I gave up and I'm working to get her back. But she's smart, and isn't so quick to invite me back into her heart. I know she feels for me, but I think she's still scared of me. I'm not alone in this battle though. Some other boy wants to be with her, and she likes him too I think. I mean, it's natural for people to want to get something new that hasn't shown any fault. I on the other hand showed her that I'm a stupid asshole. But it's the mistakes that show true colors right? She can have what's guaranteed to be good for now, but what about what could be even greater? This song, particularly these parts: "Both under influence We had divine sense To know what to say Mind is a razor blade" & "Ten days of perfect tunes The colors red and blue We had a promise made We were in love" hit me the hardest. Me and this girl have shown that we've had our ups and downs, but we can work through it. I need her, and I will do whatever I can to get her back. I know she cares, and I just have to find some way to show her. "We had a promise made; we were in love." We can still be...I just can't let her turn her back on me... Reminds me of another one of his songs, Fold. "Please don't let me down this time. I've come a long way to just fold back into line." I used to flirt with everyone who had a vagina, but now I've changed. I only care for her. I don't talk to other girls like I do her. Anyways, the song is what YOU make of it. Don't let anyone else's interpretation constitute yours. |

I've actually had this song stabbed at me I think. I led a girl on and as fate would have it feel for her again, but she doesn't like me at all I don't think. =/ Yay for knowing what it's all about it. |

| Meg & Dia – Nineteen Stars Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Oh and another cheery thought. "Stay awake, stay awake, survive" -Perhaps the means of suicide is a drug overdose? "I've got nineteen stars and I gave your name" -I interpreted this as kind of like wishing on a star. It made me think of the nineteen stars and then "giving the name", as in wishing on them that the suicidal person doesn't go through with it. She hopes it's enough to save them. |

| Meg & Dia – Nineteen Stars Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
It's a classic suicide song. Hah, wow that sounds horrible. It's about someone trying to stop someone from killing themselves, and hoping that they get through to them in time. The singer still needs the person and is trying to show that, but the suicidal person seems to not see it or admit it. By the way, I saw them live with Angels & Airwaves on their Feb. 1 show at The Palladium in Dallas, and they sound even better live. Not only that, but they are absolutely beautiful. |

| Something Corporate – Break Myself Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Part of what I love about this band is Andrew's ability to cover the guy side of break ups so well. When a guy really gets hurt, it's normally blown off. It's good to know he gets it, and helps one express himself when needed. This song is about a guy who is torn up inside over a break up and is willing to do whatever it takes to free himself from his agony (Drugs, alcohol, sex, suicide, any medium really) "So you don't hurt so much" - The 'you' could be like her memory I feel him. |

Pretty much about some guy who maybe just got dumped or whatever, and he sees himself as a meaningless little game that she really didn't care what the out come. He loved her much more than she cared for him. "Painless, so easy, you come fast, and leave me" could be talking about how she didn't really care about their break up or what have you. Good song. I'm feeling it right now. |

| Something Corporate – Konstantine Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This is by far one of the most incredible songs I've ever heard in my pathetic little 16 year existence. As a musician myself, I’ve got a lot of respect for this band. Andrew McMahon has an unprecedented way with words, and he's pretty much one of the biggest influences I have in my own music. Something Corporate, as well as Andrew's solo project Jack's Mannequin are absolutely and positively amazing. As for the song itself, no one can praise it enough. Incredible melody, unbelievable lyrics, and even a cool little heartbeat sound with the bass drum, it has it all. A Konstantine, or so I believe, is really like your first love. Not just the first person you say you love but someone who you actually knew it. Only those who’ve experienced it know what I’m talking about. I'm learning a lot right now from a recent break up. When I was in the 6th grade, I met a girl and became utterly infatuated with her. Chased her all the way through 8th grade only to lose in the end. I thought she was my first love. Looking back right now, she was not. I believe now that my first real love, the real first one, was what I just lost. I'd been in about 3 meaningful relationships before her, and they each made their mark on me or what have you, in little ways or whatever. But, at the beginning of each relationship, I would obsess and over-analyze the girl's faults and problems. Once I saw them all, I'd hide them all in the back of my mind, hoping that they would never surface again. Word for the wise, don't cage a beast. It'll break out and end it. And so all the other relationships died. With this girl, I didn't get paranoid. She showed me utter peace and serenity. I didn't worry about anything. It was like a dream. I swear, I could've seen it lasting forever. She was beautiful. This girl I just lost, this wonderful, absolutely amazing girl I held in my hands, has given me my first little glimpse through the little keyhole of the door to getting to true love. Although it’s really, really, really, I can’t tell you just how hard it is now unless you’ve ever been alone, she showed me what I really look for in a relationship, clearer than anyone else ever had. For four years we’ve played the game of cat and mouse, and I just hate to see it all end. Even so, she’ll remain special to me. God, I miss her. I love her dearly. She is my Konstantine. She always will be. This song will always remind me of her, and it shall forever remain dedicated to the girl who showed me that there is hope for love. There’s my two cents. A bit more of a personal story than an interpretation, but the song just strikes me to the core. Favorite lines: “This is to a girl who got into my head With all the pretty things she did Hey, you know You keep me up in bed This is to a girl who got into my head With all these fucked up things I did Hey, maybe, baby You could keep me up in bed My Konstantine You spin around me like a dream We played out on this movie screen And I said Did you know I missed you?” I hope to God she knows I miss her. |
