| Allison Iraheta – Trouble Is Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song speaks the story of my life. I like the ‘idea’ of everything that is beautiful in life. Even that of which I haven’t experienced like true ‘requited’ love. The idea of everything; that ‘taste’ that keeps you coming back for more. This song tells the story beautifully of the opportunity that one has in front of him. You’ve experienced this taste all throughout your life, and you have this craving for it. The feeling that it provides is a complete high. And not like a high on drugs, this is a sober kind of high. High on life, high on hope, high on the future. Yet, at the same time, since you’ve experienced this before, and obviously let the taste slip, part of you wonders if it’s a good idea to step foot back onto that train. If you really want to fuel that craving, that desire, that idea? Its hurt you in the past, is it really worth it this time? Or is it simply that you didn’t allow yourself to feel it for so long, that the craving has just become overwhelming and you simply have to let feel it again. As the song starts, you could let yourself slip back into those old ways. The comforting days where you simply let yourself go, your feelings and emotions at the peak of fruition. And you may have your ‘wildest dreams come true’, or maybe have your heart broken once again. You simply do not know how it’s going to ‘wind up in the end.’ You may find the love of your life, maybe a friend, or maybe alienate both possibilities. The taste drives you crazy. You can’t think rationally. What if this person’s opinion of you changes the longer you know them? It gets to a point that you’re not the person they thought you were and they leave. Or maybe, it’s the opposite, where barring all conflicts and impossibilities, the love reigns true and all is happily ever after. You can ‘win or lose it all’, while the question remains ‘which way to fall.’ This is the tricky question. It encompasses quite a lot. Do you take the chance to fuel your craving, to slip back into your old ways? Do you take the chance on having your heart broken once again or do you go for it head first? Do you accept the possibility of only friendship, or do you require more? Do you take the chance to alienate the possibility of friends or more? There are an immense number of ways in which to ‘fall’ making the decision that much more complicated. And at the end of the day I feel this song leaves a hope in waiting. It’s all about a ‘person’ not a possession, an act, or something of that nature. It’s a song about love, and how to deal with all the obstacles that hinder us from finding it: our inner struggles, distance, peer pressure, trust issues and the like. It speaks to all of those things, but ultimately says that your person holds you in place. So if you let yourself slip in the beginning, at least there is a hope that you will find what you’re looking for, no matter how confusing and stressful it is. The song ends on a “I don’t know which way to fall.” Which for me, and many is the story of our lives. What do you do? It doesn’t end on an especially hopeful note, but leaves the opportunity to ponder what to do. To weigh the risk and the reward. To decide if the obstacles you may face are worth the eventual payoff. And for true love, for love requited, I’d say it’s worth a shot. |

| I completely aagree with your meaning of the song, but I also just want to sat that Allison basically said in her interview with Popeater that the song was about sex. But all songs have multiple meanings and should be taken in as the individual listening sees fit. :) | |

I agree somewhat with what ada111 stated. Allison seems to be singing to either a friend or lover that she knows she doesn't treat as well as they may deserve. Yet they always stay around like a brother, even if they're being used. The hope in this song is what makes it such a pleasure to listen to. What's great is that she realizes all of this about herself, and intimately in her mind she allows herself to relish the person in such a great light. Though she may not react to it in reality, in her mind she knows this person is the real deal. This person will let her "kick him to the floor, and still come back for more." The song is very much story driven with a beginning, middle, and a hopeful ending. And in the end, she finally accepts this persons love into her life and continues to hope that he will always straighten her out in her hardest times. She finally tell him that he is like "No One Else!" |

Allison stated on an interview with Michael Slezack on Realite, that this song is not about physical or mental punishment, but in its basic form, this song is about sex. It's about being so physically attracted to someone they they instantly fuel and eventually gratify your deepest carnal desires. She "screams his name" he causes her "pain." Though not a literal pain, but rather a pain that is desired from being a bit more physical in bed. This is the way that i gauged the song from the beginning, and though in that interview she doesnt elaborate (what can you expect she's 17 trying to sell records), but this song is definitely geared towards to pleasures and pitys of sex. Enjoy it |

Does it get anymore simple. This is Dave giving all his fans a great song, with little meaning. A song guaranteed to get us all going crazy in the crowd when we hear that unique intro and riff. The song itself is simple about fucking. Open up your lovely flower, and if you want to take it a little further I'd say its mostly about two younger people, just reaching sexual maturity getting it on. Not a lot to think about here, but this is a great version, even though it is a studio version. |

| Keep listening to it. It's always taken time for DMB to grow on me even though they are by far my fav in in my opinion the best band in the world. However, Stand Up and Everyday will never grow on me. This one on the other hand is a masterful | |

Coming from an AVID DMB listener and HIGE fan I assure you this song is about Leroi. At least in Daves mind writing it. But Dave also believes in the autonomy of music in that it is up to the listener to decide what it means to him/her, so in that sense you still have tour credibility. |

This is just one of those songs that’s so relatable. I feel like I am in much the same situation right now, but I won’t know for a few more days until I hear back from this person.But anyways, I have definitely been in this position before now. And I agree that it’s one of those songs that rips you apart, but yet you keep pressing play, clicking the greater than. This part I know that baby you’ve tried to find me somewhere inside of you But you know you can’t lie girl you can’t hid the truth It’s like you know that the person truly cares about you (like a good friend or old flame), but they just can’t put you in the same place of their heart as where you have them. And you want it terribly, because you know how much you want to love them, but to truly love them it has to be reciprocated and they don’t want that. “I know that I'll never be the man that you need or love Yeah, baby it's killin' me to stand here and see I'm not what you've been dreamin' of” Again. So obvious. You know you cant be what you want to be for them and it destroys you. It’s what make you listen to songs like this. It puts you on grey street like Dave Matthews. I love at the end of the song when Gary really gets into it “TRYING TO CATCH THE RAIN.” It’s so beautiful. And at some point or another we are all winners at this losing game. |
