| Placebo – Meds Lyrics | 17 years ago |

This song really hits home for me. My boyfriend and I have been together for a long while now, long enough for him to take into consideration that my mother's literally insane. Out of four kids, it's expected that at least one of us is going to be pretty screwed up. I see this from my point of view, and my mothers. I can see her struggling every single day, trying to keep a smile on her face when I truly believe that sometimes she hates our family. My dad has stood by her side, supporting her, working up to three jobs to pay for her medication - which she tries to not take. I see this from my point of view, too. I've always been an extremist - either extremly happy or extremely whatever. It's pure hell for me when I'm sad - when my boyfriend heads back to college or leaves for something else. I try to pull that happiest memories forward ("Trying my best not to forget") but it always slips away. Once, at dusk, I was sitting at an overlook designed like a castle, and my friends came to see me. "Passers by were looking at me as if they could erase it," was the perfect line for that. They would try to pull me out of my misery - but I couldn't deal with it. "And our one heroic pledge, how it mattered to us, how it mattered to me, and the consequences." That line gets to me because, although we both have pledged our love to each other, the way we view as a couple and as individuals is distinct. For us, it's a moment and a year, until we die. For me, it was pledging my life. Obsession would be the word, I guess. I don't know, this song just hits me. |

| Carrie Underwood – Starts with Goodbye Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I don't think this is about a typical break-up. I think it's like indie girl says. I think that something happened, a catalyst that makes it impossible for them to be together. Since Underwood DOES have many college references - maybe she was accepted to where she wanted - needed? - to go and was so surprised, because she didn't expect it, that she "dropped the phone." | |
| Carrie Underwood – Just A Dream Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
When I first heard this song, it was with the music video. I was kind of intrigued, even though I'm more of a metal/hxc fan, so I listened. Carrie Underwood's lyrics remind me distinctly of Keith Whitley. So, I decided I'd keep watching the video. And - I just started crying. I'm pretty paranoid about life in general. My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year, and he promised to marry me, just days before I saw this. However, everyone around him has been in the military. My parents, his dad, a few of our friends... And, besides that, he takes too many risks. Carrie Underwoods heartbroken figure pounding on a coffin? Just too much. I'm obsessed with her heart-broken tunes - even though I cry almost every time I hear them. I really think there are some unexplored points in this song. I think this song really shows that sometimes young love is the most complete, the strongest, and the most painful when lost. Not only was her heart tied up in him, but everything. Her entire life - "I was counting on forever" - was part of HIM. The heart rending pain at his loss is breathtaking. It's almost beautiful, but it hurts. |
