| As I Lay Dying – Confined Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I love this song. This guys kick ass, and it's equally kick ass to see some metal out there with deeper meanings in their lyrics than getting pissed off about your ex and wanting to well... Kick some ass (Which is, of course, just as good) | |
| Killswitch Engage – Eye of the Storm Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| First off, Howard is fucking amazing on this song. Especially the second verse, he sounds so...vulnerable. To me this song is about the people around me, the true friends that have been with me through me thick and thin. This song also inspired me to try and return that dedication to another friend I kinda distanced myself from... | |
| Diecast – Fade Away Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I really like this song but, kinda like "Already Gone" by Crossfade, I don't think just forgetting someone is the right way to live. It might soothe your heart now, but the scars that form under the bandages will surely run much deeper... | |
| Diecast – Nothing I Could Say Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Diecast's newest album is fucking awesome. This is also one of the few songs where the vid adds to it. In the vid we see a man trying to commit suicide, but then realizing through the spectres of those who have already passed that death is not the answer and finds the strength to live. | |
| Diecast – The Coldest Rain Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Damn good song. The singer actually has a pretty good voice for it. I really like this line, "If I cast it all away/You'd still be mine today/But inside I'd be hollow ". Powerful stuff; this is really a song people who're going through heartache can connect with. | |

Wow, first this is a beautiful song. Second, lot's of people are getting this wrong. I've actually struggled with bouts of depression for years, so this song strikes a cord with me. Imprisoned inside the mind- There's not much you can do when you get really depressed. Itfeels like someone closes a heavy iron door on your mind, and only these depressing thoughts remain. Hiding behind the empy smiles- Depression is something I felt ashamed about. I didn't want anyone to know about it, so I hid it all inside. So simple, the anguish, as it mocks me- I always felt like this was just a mood, something simple you could overcome with willpower. But I couldn't. The helplessness that comes with depression was what galled me the most. Crawling back into the dark - When my periods of deression lasted more than a few days, it really ate away at me slowly each day, until I just gave up and let myself succumb to it Running, always running, into the distance - I still struggle with this some. Trying to run away from my problems. Trying to numb myself to the pain and get by somehow. Stop me, before I bleed again- Desperately looking for help from someone, anyone, but that shame kept me from doing so, again, and again. The echoes of my voice, follow me down- "I won't let it happen again", "I'll beat this", declarations and empty promises to myself that came back to haunt me The shadows I cast- To me, the shadow is the part of myself I cast out, and tried to bury. The weak side of me that was hurting, that needed someone's hand to pull me out, what I didn't want anyone to see when they just looked at me, the part of me I became consumed by Blindly descending- Lots of times, I wouldn't even realize I was becoming depressed until I was too deep to save myself from it There must be serentiy/deliverance- Something I kept telling myself. There must be a way out, there must be... It was the empty hope that I kept giving myself to try and make it through. Hope in some outside force to save me from myself. The demons of my own design- It was my shame that really kept me from telling anyone about it, so in a way, I designed my own darkness to become lost in Great song, great video. I don't have much of a struggle with depression anymore, but I wish this song was around when I did. |

| Papa Roach – Reckless Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I agree. He definetly seems to be haunted by his past, maybe a time when he simply acted without thinking and fucked a lot of things up. But, when he says "I'm a prisoner of my ways", I think he's finding himself stuck in the same place he was before, still haunted by something he can't escape from. | |

I agree with Giantsfan and Red. Like everyone else who commented this song matches my situation exactly, and had given me SO much strength. I haven't talked to her for almost four weeks now, which is hard since I see her everyday at school --; This line hit me especially hard though : I feel so stupid taking this fall I should have seen it known all along. I really should've seen what was going on, or maybe I did but didn't want to accept it. When he says "forgetting comes easy I never cared at all", the sarcasm Giants pointed out is pretty clear. It's a lot like right after the breakup when you try to dettach yourself emotionally to numb the pain, and I was definetly trying to convice myself this was just something that'd blow over for a long time. |

I heard this song again somewhere a while ago, and damn, can I relate to it now. I recently got out of a relationshit strangely similar to the one he's singing about. I thought getting her out of my life would be easy, but it was then I realized just how deep the wounds were. My love made me blind to the fact I was just being used, a rung on the ladder, nothing more. Charming, eh? Anyways, about the "I'm patiently waiting to see which of us survives when this collides with reality" bit, I think hes talking about who would walk away when his dream-world with her comes crashing down. He;s wondering who would be more hurt by the bitter remains of his unreturned love , though he already knows the answer. |
