| The Suicide Pact – The Freshman Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Never heard this cover done, but the original by The Verve Pipe. The lyrics are so powerful, whenever I read them I feel the guilt that comes with them. My take on the song, similar to other people, is that it has to do with a girl who ODed. But I think it's about a man making a confession to himself, and admitting something that his friend and him have hid for a long time. When they were "freshmen," they sexually assaulted a girl who later became pregnant. When she found out, she thought her life was ruined, and overdosed. |

| Semisonic – Closing Time Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I agree with "snomar". Even though it has been confirmed that the song is, indeed, about pregnancy, that's not quite what I think the song is about for me. My interpretation of Closing Time is that it's about moving on in your life. I liked this song a lot when I was younger, and ignorant. I just recently re-discovered it, and being my first year in college, it really meant something to me, not only as a song I grew up with, but as a lesson. It's about a turning point one's life, and there are regrets and times you want to go back in time, but you know you can't. You can only visit the memories. Being away from my family and friends in college, I sometimes get homesick. I'm so glad when my parents make it down to bring me back home. |
