This song means so much to me To me, it is about being raped. I was raped when I was sixteen, he took my virginity. He took everything. Just like she says. The innocence, the light in my eyes, it is all gone, months later. It has been a hard road and i'm just trying to make it through. This song touched me deeply. And I hope that other women (or men) who have been through this pain can come together and begin to heal. |

| Tupac Shakur – Keep Ya Head Up Lyrics | 16 years ago |

it really is a travesty that this song only has 17 comments this man had the heart of a poet. he's spittin' truth, love, passion and equality. 'Forgive but don't forget, girl keep your head up And when he tells you you ain't nuttin don't believe him And if he can't learn to love you you should leave him Cause sista you don't need him And I ain't tryin to gas ya up, I just call em how I see em You know it makes me unhappy (what's that) When brothas make babies, and leave a young mother to be a pappy And since we all came from a woman Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman I wonder why we take from our women Why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think it's time to kill for our women Time to heal our women, be real to our women And if we don't we'll have a race of babies That will hate the ladies, that make the babies And since a man can't make one He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one So will the real men get up I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up' incredible. just incredible may you rest in peace, tupac shakur. you are truly an amazing man. |

i second lysisalotlikevegas comment, this song is the truth. so many people look down on us for enjoying an herb that grows as a part of this earth. marijuana is such an natural thing. it has so many healing properties, the cannabis plant has hundreds of practical uses. it opens your mind, heals your soul, and lets you appreciate the beauty in the world. marijuana has done more for my depression and chronic pain then any medication ever has. people drink alcohol without batting an eye, and millions of people have died and do die from alcohol related ailments, or of alcohol poisoning. nobody on this earth has ever died from smoking marijuana. ever. the government feeds us lies and we swallow them. it makes me so upset. this song is beautiful and i wish more people could understand the way we see. |

this song is beautiful the meaning is clear. when you are depressed for so long that you have forgotten what it feels like to be happy. you don't know how to feel it, if that makes sense. happiness is like a foreign object. it's uncomfortable and unfamiliar. and even though the pain is unbearable, it is all you know and you have learned to embrace the only thing you feel. i live with bipolar II disorder. and every day i try to be strong. i take my medication but it only numbs the emptiness and pain somewhat. and on days when things are bad, the pain floods back in. it is truly hell, but it also wraps me in a familiar blanket. this disease is so painful to live with. i applaud anyone who is trying to get through it as best they can. amy lee is incredible. |

| Sia – Breathe Me Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Raw. Beautiful. Truth. Many people say this song is about an eating disorder, anorexia nervosa, bulimia, whatever. That is how I saw it too, and that's how it hit me. I have struggled with an eating disorder for many years. This song just portrayed how I felt, with simple words and a beautiful melody. But I also think that it means what it means to you. This could be about anything. What matters is that it is a beautiful and haunting song that many people can appreciate and relate to. |

I appreciate this song so much. I was in the hospital for a long time a while back, I was frusterated and lonely and despressed without my friends and without normal life. But most of the staff were awesome, and one of them named Mike, bless his heart, made me a CD. This was my favorite song on it. When I woke up in the morning in the hospital, I would put it on. I would give myself a reason to get up and get dressed. To stop wallowing in self-pity. It really helped me get a fresh start and leave the hospital healthy and happy. |

| Lyle Lovett – Simple Song Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I couldn't believe these lyrics weren't on here. Ridiculous. This is an incredibley poignant and beautiful song. His voice is so full of emotion, everytime I hear this I just feel flooded with it. The last verse, in particular the last two lines, hit me so hard. "And when you find the one, you might become Remeber part of me is you." People say Lyle Lovett, the artist, is ugly. But I think this is a great example of where beauty REALLY comes from. It is amazing how so much talent and beauty comes from inside someone who may not look like they posses it. I truely think that whatever beauty he may lack in looks he radiates in his personality and music. Incredible. So beautiful. Lyle Lovett is truely an amazing man. |

I heard this last year and was very into it for a while. I recently listened to it again and it hit me so hard. I was sitting down and my breath caught...the memories were incredibley intense. My best friend who is not in my life anymore told me I should listen to it because I couldn't sleep. I did, and didn't stop listening to it for the next few days at camp. To me it marks the point when I sank even deeper into anorexia. It was so true to me. "I love you more than I should, So much more than is good for me More than is good Oh, the timing is cruel I need and don't want to need More than I should" My disease almost killed me. But it was the only thing I loved...it was a safety, familiarity, something to hold on to...ironic. It took me away from everything including myself. This is one of the most heart wrenching and beautiful songs I've ever heard. It never fails to bring tears to my eyes. |

Wow, it didn't post any of my last comment...anyway. You don't deserve to be lonely But those drugs you got won't make you feel better Pretty soon you'll find it's the only Little part of your life you're keeping together I'm very well aware of Elliott's struggle with addiction, but this meant something else to me (in theory, a different kind of addiction). Perscription drugs, such as antidepressants or mood stabilizers - whatever. Many doctors prescribe them and the recipients set off and continue with their life and just expect the drug to be a miracle and fix everything, when they are simply a chemical stabilizer. Prescription drugs can make huge differences in people's lives, but only if you have a foundation to build on. You can't expect them to solve everything, they are only part of the solution. I think this part of the song is talking about someone who is being prescribed drugs to fight off 'loneliness' (which I took to mean depression) but they expected too much and the drugs are just being taken in hopes that it will piece everything together. This gives the user a sense of false hope, and the song is talking about he will soon see that they are the only things keeping him from himself. |
