| Foo Fighters – Learn to Fly Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
For me, this song means taking control of your own life, but having help along the way, from something higher than you. It's about overcoming fear and obstacles and "learning to fly." I also agree, the video is absolutely hilarious! |

| Tori Amos – Cornflake Girl Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| For me, personally, this song describes many people's circle of friends well. Cornflake girls being the plain ones, and we certainly don't wanna be plain, so we go hang out with the raisin girls, who are the popular, wild, pretty ones. So you're a wild raisin girl for a while, then all the "sweeties" are gone out of it, and you try to be a cornflake girl again, but you can't. It comes across fake when you try again. The man with the golden gun is someone who thinks they have you all figured out, but they really don't, and you know that they think they've figured you out, but you also know that they don't know the half of it. | |
| My Chemical Romance – It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Fucking Deathwish Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I don't listen to a whole lot of MCR, but I do love this song. I'm sure the song has a deeper story to it, but I think maybe the title says it all. I think maybe it talks about how people hurt themselves or kill themselves because they think it must be a cool thing to do - ie, thinking self-injury is a "fashion statement" or thinking that suicide is a cool way to go out. (Yeah, right.) But yeah, I think that's pretty much what it sort of says...."It's not a fashion statement, it's a fucking deathwish!" |

| Staind – Paper Jesus Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
To me, in this song, "Paper Jesus" can refer to ANYTHING that you look at as a "savior," or as something great, and it's really not. Money, another person, anything like that. But that's just my two cents. Either way, it's a great song. |

| Linkin Park – Leave Out All the Rest Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This song is amazing. It fits how I feel about a few people perfectly right now. | |
| Staind – Believe Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Oh man, this song means so much to me. I especially love the video to it. You just need someone, a special someone, to believe in you, that when you're done trying to figure yourself out you'll be there....that you'll always be there, you just might not be THERE, you know? Aaron is such an amazing songwriter. He always has been, he always will be. |

| Sarah McLachlan – Angel Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This song is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It just holds such a close personal meaning to me. Even through all of it's sadness, it's still a beautiful song. | |
| Powerman 5000 – That's Entertainment Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This song is all about the fakeness of the entertainment industry, and it really says it all. I agree with it 100%. | |
| Eminem – Sing For The Moment Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I used to sit on my bed, when I was thirteen, and just blast this song into my ears through my headphones on repeat. This song described how I felt to a T back then. This is definitely one of Eminem's best, if not THE best. | |
| Alter Bridge – In Loving Memory Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song perfectly describes how I feel about my Grandma. We were very close, and she had the biggest impact on my life thus far. Even though she's gone now, she continues to influence many of the decisions I make and paths I choose. I lived with my grandparents, and I'd come home from school after she died, and it really did feel empty and alone. I half-expected to still see her sitting in her recliner, waiting for me to come home. I really was never alone when I had her in my life. After I accepted her death, I came to realize that she is always with me, and truly does live through me. |

| Evanescence – Like You Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The song is written about Amy's feelings after her younger sister died when they were both very young. If you listen at the end of the song, Amy says, "I long to be like you, sis." This song pulls up a lot of emotions in me. I went to visit my Grandma in the hospital, shortly after this album was released. I stopped by the record store while out, and got the CD because I am a huge Evanescence fan. This was in late October of 2006. About three weeks after I purchased the album, my Grandma passed away, and the song perfectly describes how I felt in the wake of her death. I was very close to her, and I did long to be like her. I did think about killing myself so I could be with her again. I didn't want to grieve any more, I just wanted to be with her. The line, "You're not alone. No matter what they told you, you're not alone. I'll be right beside you forevermore," it never fails to well my eyes up because she was alone when she died. She had been sick but her death really was unexpected. This song definitely helped me get through what was, unarguably, the toughest thing I ever had to deal with. |

| Staind – Reply Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This is the perfect "Thankyou" to all the Staind fans out there. That's exactly what the song is about - the fans who thought they were writing in vain, the fans that truly relate to the music. It's one big reply to all those letters, all the e-mails, everything. I think it also says that they feel very close to their fans because in many cases, their fans can relate 100% to what they're playing about. This song never fails to make me feel VERY proud and happy to be a Staind fan. :) |

| Plumb – Cut Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I am a recovering self-injurer. This song....I just love it, because it's blunt. She just says it - "cut." I especially love the line, "I may seem crazy or painfully shy, and these scars wouldn't be so hidden if you would just look me in the eye. I feel alone here and cold here, no I don't wanna die, but the only anesthetic that makes me feel anything kills inside." It says it all. People see my scars, they look at me like I might be crazy. I hole up and I'm not social, so I'm painfully shy....but like she says, it wouldn't be so hidden if someone had the guts to look me in the eye. I never wanted to die, but the thing that made everything in my head feel a bit better really was slowly killing me inside. I guess the scars, and the prospect that I can relapse (as I recently did) are my constant tears, still dripping sore. |
