| Mayday Parade – Black Cat Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| the black cat part just sounds like a looming disaster that obviously happens. factor in the superstition about black cats crossing your path, now add in a backpack full of fireworks (not literally). "And you're gonna burn the city down right now" not so much an intension but something we know will come of consequent when you take the two bad things and put them together. reminds me of the expression "a porcupine in a balloon store" | |
| Death Cab for Cutie – Grapevine Fires Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think the thought behind the song was inspired by the fires in California, but i don't think that it's what the song is ABOUT, in fact i quite agree with pretty much all of what ka_rosko has said. In poetry, or song-writing, sometimes you witness an event that you find is a perfect metaphor to describe something deeper, whether a thought or another event that potentially happened. So where at first glance this is obviously referring to the fires in california, you have to look passed the obvious to get the deeper meaning. | |

i think part of it is depression as well. i know cutting is usually a part of depression, but the stages of the chorus reminds me of stages of depression, first time on the edge - she just started feeling this way. closer to the edge - closer to losing it, closer to a complete breakdown. falling off the edge would be completely giving up and giving in to the depression and the breakdown. Just seems to me that after Don't Jump, Tokio Hotel wouldn't write a song about a girl dying after cutting herself, so while i agree that there are some parts in there about cutting... i think the edge is really more of a mental thing. |

This is supposed to be the english meaning to the German song Rette Mich, which IS Rescue Me, but the lyrics won't be exactly the same, because they had to make the english version sound good :P . I have a better version of the translation though, so i'll report it and hopefully they'll Change this |

In my opinion, this song is very difficult to understand, because from what i've taken in, very little of it can really be taken literally. The parts about death and ghosts could actually mean what they say, or it can be about memories, things or feelings that have "died" but that are revived by the places where they are most vividly remembered. Also I think the parts about night, day, morning, etc. need to be looked into further. "At night they would go walking 'till the breaking of the day The morning is for sleeping Through the dark streets they go searching To see god in their own way" this is just a very far-out guess, but when i read this the expression "to be in the dark about something" comes to mind. so maybe they were "in the dark" about a belief or something (maybe that has to do with god?), and then the searching would fit in. the morning, or light could signify that after you have found what you were looking for, it has to sink in. "I see god come in my garden but I don’t know what he said For my heart it wasn’t open" again, gives me the feeling that he is trying to understand god, and is searching for understanding? |

this song is mind blowing. to me, the most powerful line is "so who's gonna watch you die" the whole rest of the song we are caught up in the imagery and the moment of these other people, and just sort of acting out the bystander. Then then the tables turn and the attention is brought on ourselves. who IS going to watch me die? as the line is repeated, it's next to impossible not to think it through. i cry every time i hear this. but i've also noticed, while going through other comments, that next to every line of this song holds an importance to someone, and not many songs can do that. The music video is also beautiful. |
