| OneRepublic – Secrets Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I actually think that the chorus is supposed to be ironic and insincere. In the chorus, the singer is claiming that he's "sick of all the insincere" and doesn't "need another perfect lie," . . . but he's also asking the listener to tell him what they want to hear in the same verse. And in the beginning, he's clearly being dishonest - his life is boring and he wants something to confess, something to make him feel more real and exciting. So he lies and makes stuff up. "Come by it honestly I swear, thought you saw me wink but no." Everything in the song belies that the singer's actually "sick of all the insincere." His desperation to know what the listener wants to hear, to not disappear, to send his album "straight to gold." |

I don't think that he decided not to commit suicide at the end. I think that, from the beginning, he was only planning to fake his death and frame the person he's singing to. . . . but yours was more optimistic. |

| The Notwist – One with the Freaks Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I actually though the person in this song had suffered some sort of brain damage - the fact that they have to learn the lesson twice all of a sudden, have lost their intuition. Did anyone else hear it that way? |

| Breaking Benjamin – The Diary of Jane Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I actually had the distinct impression that Jane is dead by the time of the song and the narrator is disposing of her belongings, only to catch a glance at her diary and realize that maybe their relationship wasn't at all what he'd thought it was. | |
