| Thrice – The Melting Point of Wax Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"But how will I know limits from lies if I never try?" Very accurate. because in the end, only you know your limits. And the only way to know the limit is to test it. People will attempt to tell you your limits, and it may be sensible to listen to them, or it may be foolish. And vice versa. Unfortunately, Icarus' gamble did not pay off. And in a way the song preaches both the importance of risk-taking, and the way in which it could prove one's downfall. The song doesn't downplay Icarus' arrogance at all, to those who claimed that. Would Icarus, in his own head - really think himself impetuous and arrogant? No, he would justify his decision to fly to the sun; and a possible explanation lays in this song. |

| The Pussycat Dolls – I Hate This Part Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Relatively meaningful for a Pussycat Dolls song... Especially the imagery and meaning behind these lines; "But there's no more time for lies Cause I've seen sunset in your eyes." The sunset represents, obviously, the end of the relationship. And even though throughout the song, from the POV of the woman, she anticipates his reactions to her proposal of a break-up as wanting to remain a couple - she recognises that he also sees the end. So, she has to make the first move; they both know it's the right thing to do, despite the fact that the man may be lying to himself. She wishes to do the same no longer. |

| Guster – Rainy Day Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Definitely, this song deals with the construction of a facade, and the self-deception that comes along with that; "I'm not scared" "I will just play dumb, never hear a single word that's said." When I hear this, the old saying that 'ignorance is bliss' comes to mind. In a way, I feel that he wants to be ignorant, or at least play ignorant, but he's not. He's fully aware that the rain is coming but he's too jaded to even care. He's afraid of being hurt, so he doesn't even try. It's almost an excuse; a security blanket - 'I didn't get it because I didn't even try, what's the point in trying anyway? It's going to rain either way.' Powerful song, the lyrics and music combine so well to capture that feeling of hopelessness and this droning circle of melancholy that I'm sure relates to how we're feeling at some point on our lives. But remember people - when it rains, pull out an umbrella! |
