| Ryan Adams – La Cienega Just Smiled Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I don't think this song is about him being torn between two women.. I tried to reread the lyrics a few times to see it from that point of view but to me... It's about one girl. by "little" she may be younger, or petite, or just fragile..i agree that the "on with the jeans, the jacket and the shirt" is him going through the everyday motions.. i don't know what la cienega means.. but i think maybe it's the girl and how she can say the smallest thing "see ya around" like it's nothing, but he feels so intensely for her. i think the song is about alcohol also, when he says: "and raise my glass 'cause either way i'm dead neither of you really help me to sleep anymore one breaks my body and the other breaks my soul la cienega just smiles as it waves goodbye" he'll drink because either way he's in pain. "neither one of you really help me to sleep anymore" to me means, that the drinking doesn't make him sleep better either. nothing really numbs it. the "one breaks my body and the other breaks my soul", the alcohol being what breaks his body (bad for him physically), and "the other breaks my soul"... SHE breaks his soul. :/i don't know. just my two cents. |

| Alanis Morissette – That Particular Time Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think this song is about her being someone who is always running away from things. "My tried and true way was to vanish." She seems to always be calling things off even when she didn't want it to really be over. She was challenged to work on her relationship, but she knew she had to leave it no matter how badly it hurt. It wasn't that he was a bad guy, just that she was losing herself in this relationship and it was getting too unhealthy for him to the point where he didn't know what he wanted. Leaving shattered her heart completely, but she loved herself enough to get her heart back. | |
| Sheryl Crow – Strong Enough Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| When I think of this song, I think of her being a girl after my own heart, like so many other women who feel this way. To me, its about her being hard to be in a healthy relationship with, because she thinks she's too much of a mess for anyone to handle. She thinks everyone will leave. She puts walls around her heart and pushes him away because she knows by letting him in, he could shatter her by leaving. I think she also thinks of herself as having a dark side ("I have a face I cannot show") so letting someone in would be showing someone how unlovable she thinks she is. When she says "Lie to me, but please don't leave" I think she means that she knows he sees her flaws and how hard she is to deal with, but it would hurt for him to say the things she already feels, so just "try and love me if you can" and "please don't leave". But shes not gonna change, so he's gotta be strong enough. | |
| Lisa Loeb – Stay (I Missed You) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think this song is about her being in a relationship that she feels insecure in, over-analyzing and assuming things that aren't true (He's cheating, doesn't love her, going to leave her, etc.) So she builds up this defense mechanism of getting upset and accusing him of things because she wants to push him away but only far enough for him to chase her. She needs to know she's worth it and that he can handle her at her worst. Finally I think he's had enough and even though he still loves her, there's too much damage to the relationship and she realizes she messed up a good thing by being insecure. | |
