| Muse – Stockholm Syndrome Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The title may be "Stockholm Syndrome," meaning when a hostage is emotionally bond to their kidnapper. I'm thinking it necessarily doesn't talk about that. It could be for another use, such as both unhappy people bonded in a loving relationship. "I won’t stand in your way Let your hatred grow And she’ll scream And she’ll shout And she’ll pray And she had a name Yeah, she had a name" The girl had enough of her boyfriend and instead of loving him like she's supposed to, she's hating me every second. He says go ahead, it's not like he's in control of her. "And I won’t hold you back Let your anger rise And we’ll fly And we’ll fall And you’ll burn No one will recall No one will recall" Now the boyfriend is angry at his girl. He says we might make it, we might not. If anything happens to you, no one, not even me, will care. "This is the last time I’ll abandon you And this is... the last time I’ll forget you I wish I could" The last time he'll ever abandon her like he did before and will try to forget her. "Look to the stars Let hope burn in your eyes And we’ll yell Then we'll hate And we’ll die All to no avail All to no avail" He tells her to keep her head high when they're both hating each other, breaking up with each other, living their lives without each other, and dying. I love this song. The hardcore drumming is hot and the rhythm in the chorus is spectacular. |

| See the music video, it explains it all anyways. It's not too hard to understand anyways. | |
| Evanescence – Missing Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The song is talking about a girl who feels like no one loves her and pays any attention to her, so she runs away from her home and never comes back. She is wondering if they even notice she's missing and if they're missing her as she is absent from their presence. She feels that if she gets hurt, no one will care and that's why she ran away in the first place. | |
| Fall Out Boy – Dance, Dance Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song is talking about a date with two very shy people going to a party or something like that where they get their groove on. Now the boy is becoming comfortable with the girl, but the girl's still too shy, and he tells her to show some backbone for him as if he's the right guy for her. Cool song. My favorite one from FOB. | |
| Panic! at the Disco – I Write Sins Not Tragedies Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Either a friend or the conscious of the groom warning the groom that his bride will cheat on him and that she is a whore. "Oh, well imagine, as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor, and I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words: "What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter. "And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore."" The friend hears two people talking about the bride and that she is a whore. "I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality. I'd chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of..." Now that he has heard this information, he wished he hadn't and now he has to face it by telling the groom, which he does. "Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne Oh! Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne, pour the champagne" The groom doesn't want to believe it, but his conscious is telling him to believe it, since it's most true. This information saved their "marriage," because he and the bridge don't have to deal with it later on when they do become married and the wedding is off. |

| Snow Patrol – Chasing Cars Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think it's talking about a couple who are very much in love with each other and they spend so much time with each other, it's only the two of them and no one else. I love this song. Very wonderful and melodic. | |
| The Fray – How To Save A Life Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Talks about the story of two friends. One is spiraling down, while the other didn't notice it, until the signs of the depressing friend become clear to him. He tries helping his friend out, but it feels like his friend can't be helped out, and it was too late to even help the friend in the end, and should've paid more attention to him earlier. This is my favorite song. The Fray created such a beautiful work of art. Love its sadness in his voice and how hope is gone, but a hint of how it can never be too late to save someone from depression. They truly rock. :) |

| Panic! at the Disco – Build God, Then We'll Talk Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Let me break the song down for you. "It's these substandard motels on the (lalalalala) corner of 4th and Fremont Street. Appealing only because they are just that un-appealing Any practiced catholic would cross themselves upon entering. The rooms have a hint of asbestos and maybe just a dash of formaldehyde, And the habit of decomposing right before your very (lalalala) eyes." The first line talks about a sleezy, but appealing motel that had interesting chronicles going on in there, describing how it has fireproof curtains and smelling like some type of alcohol. "Along with the people inside What a wonderful charicature of intimacy Inside, what a wonderful charicature of intimacy" A series of intimacy happens in the motel to sum it all up. "Tonight tenants range from: a lawyer and a virgin Accessorizing with a rosary tucked inside her lingerie She's getting a job at the firm come Monday. The Mrs. will stay with the cheating attorney moonlighting aside, she really needs his money. Oh, wonderful charicature of intimacy." Talks about a lawyer hiring a hooker (known as "the virgin," so know one knows her true alias), while cheating on his wife. "Making love" the lawyer's thinking, the hooker really needs his money, and the last line is sarcastically stating how wonderfully drawn out the intimacy is. "And not to mention, the constable, and his proposition, for that "virgin" Yes, the one the lawyer met with on "strictly business" as he said to the Mrs. Well, only hours before, after he had left, she was fixing her face in a compact. There was a terrible crash (There was a terrible crash) Between her and the badge She spilled her purse and her bag, and held a "purse" of a different kind." So anyways, he gives her an amount of money after the night stand, and when she left while fixing her make-up, she bumped into a cop (the badge is what they wear on their uniform), spilling a pocketbook (the "purse") that tells about her clients, which the cop picks up, reads, and arrests the prostitute. "There are no raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses. It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains And a few more of your least favorite things" Could be a metaphor that there are no hidden secrets or something like that. |

| Panic! at the Disco – Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The song's stating about a girl cheating on her lover and the he's telling her, "what the hell are you cheating on me for? I was damn good in bed and you know it! Didn't I pleasure you enough? Wasn't the sex hot enough for you?" The middle of the song is reminiscing about their really kinky relationship and how the girl didn't deserve to have an affair behind his back when she really had a really good sex lover after all. | |
| The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus – Face Down Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I'm guessing it talks about this guy, who has a crush on his best friend's girl. Whenever she looks at him, he feels nervous around her, yet he doesn't understand why she hangs around with his buddy and not be with him. However, he also notices that his friend abuses his girlfriend no matter how many times he swears to her that he loves her. He asks his friend if he feels okay when he's hitting his girl and tells him that if he keeps that up, she's going to be better off without him. He also tells him that he will get what he deserves if he doesn't stop abusing her and that she'll come around and dump his abusive ass. Such a powerful song. | |
| Muse – Time Is Running Out Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
It can't be talking about drugs. It sounds as if he is singing about them, but there are some lyrics that convince me otherwise. "I think I'm drowning Asphyxiated I wanna break this spell That you've created" Could be talking about someone he fell madly in love with, and she won't stop seducing him. "You're something beautiful A contradiction I wanna play the game I want the friction" She's very pretty, contradicting her personality which is not so beautiful. "The game" of which he speaks of could be talking about making love to her, feeling the heat between them. "You will be the death of me" He's gone totally obsessive with her, and he would be willingly to die for her. "ury it I won't let you bury it I won't let you smother it I won't let you murder it Our time is running out Our time is running out You can't push it underground You can't stop it screaming out" He won't let her bury their relationship, or smother it, or even murder it when she becomes very bored of him. Their time is running out, but he doesn't want to break up with her, no matter what she does about it. "I wanted freedom Bound and restricted I tried to give you up But I'm addicted" Before, she use to be obsessive with him and all he wanted was a way out of the relationship. Now, he became very obsessive with her and when he tried to give her up, he couldn't. "Now that you know I'm trapped Sense of elation You'd never dream of Breaking this fixation" The girlfriend knows he's trap under her spell, she use to be very excited of this and wouldn't never thought about making him stop, until she had it with him. "You will squeeze the life out of me" All he'd ever do is think about her, and it could kill him. The rest I've already explained. In other words, a girl and boy were in a relationship. The girl became totally obsessive with the boy, trapping him and suffocating his space. Now that the boy became obsessive with her, she felt happy and joyful, but soon became bored of him and tried breaking them up, but now since he can't stop stalking her, he doesn't want to break it off. |

| Fall Out Boy – This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"I am an arms dealer fitting you with weapons in the form of words And (don't really care which side wins) As long as the room keeps singing that's just the business I'm in" he's talking about how he's a singer and he doesn't really care if he's not the best, but as long as people listen to FOB's music, then that's what he wants. "This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race" To him, it's war with other musicians to have the most people listen to them. "I'm not a shoulder to cry on, but I digress" He'll change the subject right away basically what it means. "I'm the leading man And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate" He's the singer, and when he writes the lyrics, he may be lying, but no one ever notices because it's too hard to figure it is one. "I wrote the gospel on giving up (and looking pretty sinking) But the real bombshells have already sunk (primadonnas of the gutter) At night we're painting your trash gold, while you sleep Crashing not like hips or cars but more like p-p-p-parties" How their songs will make you lose control, especially in parties. The rest is talking about the same thing, so I pretty much cleared it out. |

| The Killers – When You Were Young Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"You sit there in your heartache Waiting on some beautiful boy To save you from your old ways You play forgiveness Watch it now, here he comes" Talks about a father, waiting for his spouse to deliver their baby boy, and as he waits, he remembers the terrible past he had, and he's trying to forgive himself because he has a new life now that his baby is coming into his life. "He doesn't look a thing like Jesus But he talks like a gentlemen Like you imagined when you were young" Years later, the little baby grows up and the father thinks he may not be our saviour, but he does talk politely like he imagined when he wanted a child years ago. "Can we climb this mountain? I don't know Higher now than ever before I know we can make it if we take it slow Let's take it easy Easy now, watch it go" The parents are now living their new life and sure they have ups and downs while taking care of their child, but they're going to take it easy and slow. "We're burning down the highway skyline On the back of a hurricane that started turning When you were young When you were young" Things start turning bad, like their better-forgotten past and they need to fix it before it's too late. "And sometimes you close your eyes and see the place where you used to live When you were young" They reminisce about the bad ol'days. "They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet You don't have to drink right now But you can dip your feet Every once in a little while" They talk about sinning and how it badly affects them, but sometimes they can make mistakes every once in awhile. The first line's repeated which I already gone over. "I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus He doesn't look a thing like Jesus But more than you'll ever know" He may not look like a goody-goody saint (the newborn boy), but he'll be more of a saint than the father or mother will ever know. |

| Kate Nash – Foundations Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Her boyfriend is rude to her when they have company over. She can't stand it and she knows she has to break up with him because he's gone over the limit, but she loves him dearly and doesn't want to let him go, no matter how unhappy he makes her. | |
| Feist – 1234 Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| It's basically about teenage life and how it all changes from love, hopes, and their way of thinking when they finally need to grow up. | |
| Panic! at the Disco – Nine In The Afternoon Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song is talking about, possibly a fantasy world? "Back to the street where we began Feeling as good as lovers can, you know Yeah, we're feeling so good" Back to reality, where he began. He felt so good when he got back from his happy place. And it's not just him, but others as well. "Picking up things we shouldn't read It looks like the end of history as we know It's just the end of the world" Picking up newspapers, stating about murder, war, crime and all that jazz. He could be thinking it's the end of the world if we keep this up. "Into a place, where thoughts can bloom Into a room where it's nine in the afternoon And we know that it could be And we know that it should And you know that you feel it too 'Cause it's nine in the afternoon" There's no such thing as reality being nine in the afternoon, but it can be possible in his imaginary world, where thoughts bloom and it creates what the world should be in his own opinion. "Your eyes are the size of the moon You could 'cause you can, so you do We're feeling so good" Your eyes are the size of the moon could mean that he is amazed at this imaginary world, and what he has thought up, it makes him feel good. "Back to the street Down to our feet Losing the feeling of feeling unique Do you know what I mean?"Now they're back to reality, and they are losing the feeling of feeling unique, since they're not in their happy place anymore. "Back to the place Where we used to say Man, it feels good to feel this way Now I know what I mean" He's back in his happy place, feeling of course, happy. "Back to the street, back to the place Back to the room where it all began Back to the room where it all began ‘Cause it's nine in the afternoon" Back to reality, then back to imagination, back to the room where his imagination soared and created his one world, where it could be nine in the afternoon. My thoughts on what the meaning of the song is also based on the music video as well. Watch it, and you'll know what I mean. |
