fun. – Light a Roman Candle with Me Lyrics 16 years ago
a roman candle is a type of firework. so when it talks about the sparks not glowing it's saying that he wants to take a chance with this girl. he wants the fireworks with her and even if it doesn't light, they tried. And he realizes that they may loose the spark too one day, but for now, they're young and have so much potential

Thrice – Circles Lyrics 16 years ago
"Till we're all spinning round reaching for rings on this merry-go-round"

This line reminds me of Holden Caulfield in Catcher in the Rye. Its about growing up and loosing your innocence one way or another

Emery – Whoa! Man Lyrics 16 years ago
no other comments on this song?! it's absolutely stunning, just like every other song off this album. The way i see it, this guy is really into this girl, but she won't commit for one reason or another. I personally see it as she's probably been hurt in the past and is reluctant to get into another relationship.

"It would be perfect but you won�t let it play out
And you just sit there with your folded arms in
Forget about the past, it�s gone"

He really wants to get with her, but she won't let him, and he's telling her to forget about the past, because he could be her future

"And you say that you've changed
But you're basically the same
But I, I can say that I've tried
And go on with my life"

He has tried to show that he won't hurt her and she still refuses him so now he will leave her for good and move on

"So you can calm your worried mind
Cause when I leave I wont be coming back this time
No not this time."

He refuses to keep living in an up in the air relationship, so he will leave and forget about her

And it seems as if they've had this fight before and he keeps coming back, but now, he wants her so bad that it's all or nothing. It hurts to want her, but it will also hurt to let her go.

City and Colour – In the Water I Am Beautiful Lyrics 16 years ago
ok so this is probably totally off but this song reminds me of my last relationship. we've been broken up for three months and things ended badly with us when he told me he loved me, but was blacked out and didn't remember it the next day. lame story, but whatever.

at the time, he asked me to say it back to him and didn't really answer him
"so when you ask, "do you love me?"
i should reply, "yes most certainly"

and it feels as if we've been apart for a long time
"now three months equals eternity, and this will be so hard
i will long to hold you in my arms"

i wish there were things i could tell him
"these words might be too little too late,
and i am afraid that i have already lost you"

so ya, i think its definitely about a break up

City and Colour – Sam Malone Lyrics 16 years ago
"Do you think that I would call just to hear you breathe?"
so you know when you're young and have a crush on someone so you would call just to hear them say hello and then hang up, well maybe thats what this means...sorta
obviously, its different, but maybe the guy is saying that he doesn't like her anymore and he won't call... even just to hear her answer
"And I still remember the sound of your voice
All though your silence still rings so clear
Do you think that I would call just to hear you breathe?
You always knew that just one word would dry up all my tears"
maybe that one word was hello. when he was in trouble, he could call her and just knowing she was on the other line made him feel better. but now, he can't call her because she's caused the problems and/or the breakup
i don't know, just an idea

The Cab – High Hopes In Velvet Ropes Lyrics 17 years ago
this song is about a string of one night stands. he loves chasing the girls and feels victorious after getting them with lines. "It's that not your lipstick failed
But girl, I was just born to bail
I do it better on my own"
I love this part. It's nothing personal against the girls, they're gorgeous, but he just doesn't need to be tied down. and who would if he can just get different girls all the time?

Mayday Parade – One Man Drinking Games Lyrics 17 years ago

Carolina Liar – I'm Not Over Lyrics 17 years ago
i think either the guy likes this girl and is pursuing her and then things its a waste of time so gives up, only to realize, he's not over her. when it says "cannot hide it" i think he tells her how he feels about her
or...
he's in a relationship and doesn't see it going anywhere so breaks it off, only to realize he's absolutely in love with her
either way, its beautiful

Carolina Liar – Show Me What I'm Looking For Lyrics 17 years ago
I do think this song is about God, but it could be interpreted in many ways. I think one of them is of course a relationship. thats what i get out of it. you search and search for someone great and can feel so lost. but then you meet someone and when you're first getting to know them, they are constantly showing you what you've been looking for.

"don't let go
i've wanted this far too long
mistakes become regrets
i've learned to love abuse
please show me what i'm looking for"

you've wanted someone like this for so long and you wish you would have realized it in the past. instead, you made mistakes and were in bad relationships, so this person is showing you what you want and need

I don't know, thats just how i can apply to my life right now :)

3OH!3 – I'm Not Your Boyfriend, Baby Lyrics 17 years ago
Frickin' love this song! i think its about this guy who doesn't want to be this girl's little bitch. but at the same time, he's grown up learning from "cigarette burns, fast cars, fast women, and cheap drinks." i think he feels a great connection to where he grew up. i ultimately think he's conflicted about this woman he's kinda dating and who he is and where he's from. this song is sick, and i love the switch from techno-alternative to hip-hop/rap. purely amazing!

Cartel – The Minstrel's Prayer Lyrics 17 years ago
i have to say that i agree with the tribute to all the love songs but there's one line that says drop the knee, so i think there's this guy who's desperately trying to write a great love song and win his girl forever just like so many have done before. he uses the other love songs for inspiration

Emery – Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus Lyrics 17 years ago
so i've been listening to this song more and more and am completely addicted to it.
In the begining when they sing, "never gonna go away," I think this is the voices inside the girl's head. It gets louder and louder until she can no longer ignore it.
Also, people have been saying the part about satisfaction is the singer never being satisfied. Well, it's told from the singer's perspective and right before he says, "so what about you." I think he's illustrating that no matter what he does "mood is set and we're here by candel light," he can never fully convince her to have sex with him. He thinks that he has "paid his dues,." yet she is still not convinced and satisfied

Anberlin – Feel Good Drag Lyrics 17 years ago
So I'm pretty sure I've got the lyrics right. I think its more or less about this girl who is using the singer only when it's convevient for her, like when her boyfriend is not around. The singer knows that they can never have a serious relationship, but fell for her anyways. It was just a disaster waiting to happen.
This is a great song. I think it's different from the theme Anberlin has been focusing on, but still amazing!

Anberlin – Disappear Lyrics 17 years ago
in response to ny1989's comment about silentist. Stephen didn't make that word up. I looked it up and from what I can gather, they seem like a religious organization. they let their actions speak for them rather than words. you're not allowed to say that you consider yourself a silentist, or speak of your choice as one. they greatly follow the motto "not words, but deeds."
I think Anberlin's reference is that these kinds of people work tirelessly to help the world. they need help, but won't blatantly ask for it.
This is just what i've gathered. Please correct me if i'm wrong

submissions
Anberlin – Disappear Lyrics 17 years ago
I think this a great show of the focus from theri new album. A good majority of the album focuses on their charity and justice work. Stephen even wrote a good deal of it in this little cafe in New Orleans called Kahve.
This song is amazing and does not disappoint. I know their new album will dazzle. September 30th!

Emery – Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus Lyrics 17 years ago
I think this song is so versatile. I mean, it starts off with a creepy, high pitch voice, and flows into the first verse nice and slow. then, you're hit with this upbeat techno sound. From the part where he's singing "never gonna go away" to the "I do, I do..." its truly amazing. they jump all over the place, but its all intricately intertwined so you're never lost.
I also agree with everyone's interpretations. Long story short: this boy will do anything for sex. including lying, faking emotion, and even forcing his way. very powerful song.
Well done Emery! another brillant song!

Emery – The Party Song Lyrics 17 years ago
so this girl is devestated by her father's death and is using drugs as a coping mechanism and a way to escape her grief. her mother has put up with this because she knows this is hard on all of them. meanwhile, this girl is spending all her money on drugs and ends up stealing money from her mother. that's the final straw and she gets kicked out. the narrator of the song is trying to save and take care of her. He's trying to take her away from the party scene because she's one step away from O.D. I totally agree that everything in paranthesis is her response.
Brillant!

Emery – World Away Lyrics 17 years ago
"I don't want to be the one who lives a lie, but never knew it was just a world away from where I can feel like I never felt before."

this is where my confusion kicks in. is he talking about the lie taking him a world away, or staying true taking him a world away. I think it may be the lie. "Its a gamble either way." Wether he's true or lies, it's a gamble. But this lie may take him to a new place where he's never felt like he has until now. Whether that world is good or bad I guess depends on you're outlook on life.

Are you a pessimist or optimist?

Thrice – The Sky Is Falling Lyrics 17 years ago
I think the song Broken Lungs dealt more with our perspective of a tragedy, namely September 11th. The second track, The Sky Is Falling is another perspective during tragedy. I think its written from the perspective of an Iraqi while we were bombing them. I think these two songs show how this horrible event truly made a full circle and affected so many innocent people, on both sides.

Thrice – Broken Lungs Lyrics 17 years ago
so i was intensely listening to this song last night and it's completely about September 11th. I think it shows how truely helpless we were in that tragedy. I love the part in the song where it's saying "We want answers, Scream from the roofs, We want justice, We want the truth." I also think this is especially important to keep in mind with the upcoming election. Also, the sky is falling deals with the same topic of all of this. Amazingly crafted and very powerful.

Thrice – Moving Mountains Lyrics 17 years ago
i totally agree with the whole faith thing. i think you can also bring it down to a more relateable level too. sometimes you have the power to do anything you want. but one thing you don't neccessarily have control over is love. its such a hard thing to just describe. you can move mountains and what not, but that doesn't mean you know anything about love. love is all powerful and wins in every situation. its hard to know anything about love sometimes. idk, just what i think

City and Colour – Happiness by the Kilowatt (Alexisonfire cover) Lyrics 17 years ago
i can't believe there's only one other comment. this song is so deep and it just breaks you're heart everytime you listen to it. i like that it's kinda vague so you can really mold it to fit you personally. for me, i see it as disappointment. this thing should be giving you continuous happiness and instead, you feel sad. i'm kinda seeing this guy who is absolutely amazing and i should be thrilled about that. unfortunately, he's moving away and this "continuous happiness" is not at all what i expected. if somethings could change, then things could work out. but things won't change so you stay inside in the dark. the song is beautifully tragic

The Ataris – Connections Are More Dangerous Than Lies Lyrics 17 years ago
i think this girl is cheating on him. she calls to tell him she won't be home where she's drunk and going home with someone else. and when he says "if you're not in love, stay where you are," he only wants her back if she truly wants him. he doesn't want to waste time and love on someone who doesn't love him back.
i love at the end when he repeats over and over "we were such terrible liars, we were such passionate lovers."
oh how the heart and head conflict

City and Colour – Sleeping Sickness Lyrics 17 years ago
i seriously cannot believe there are no comments on this song. this song is absolutely amazing! the way i see it, he can't sleep because he's dreams are haunted by this girl. all the uncertainties and everything else he keeps secret during the day comes to life at night. no matter what, this girl has a hold on him and he can't take it anymore so he's breaking down. he wants someone to save him (possibly this girl) and if no one does, "this misery will suffice." beautiful lyrics about lying awake thinking of the one who drives you crazy
