| Of Monsters And Men – Little Talks Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song really hits home for me, to the point where I actually tear up listening to it. It almost perfectly describes the death of my grandmother last spring. “I don't like walking around this old and empty house So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake It's the house telling you to close your eyes” After my mother with all of her aunts and uncles grew up and left, my grandparents lived alone in a large, old, farm-style house, which had in turn belonged to their parents. So this house is about 90 years old, large, cold, and empty but for two small, fragile people. The woman in the song, who doesn’t like being in the house, and is kept awake by the thought of it, perfectly mirrors my grandmother. Over the past several years, her health had begun to fail her, and there was a sense of anxiety which our whole family could feel about her. “It’s the house telling you to close your eyes” sounds like something my grandfather would have told her out of love, in an attempt to help calm her. ----- “Some days I can't even dress myself It's killing me to see you this way” As my grandmother’s health declined, she needed help with everyday tasks. It honestly became hard to visit, simply because I remembered a time when she wasn’t in such a horrible condition. I remembered a time when she was a vibrant, laughing, able-bodied woman. I can only imagine how much harder it must have been for my grandfather to see his own wife that way. ----- “There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back Well tell her that I miss our little talks Soon it will all be over, and buried with our past We used to play outside when we were young And full of life and full of love Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear My grandmother began falling into dementia at one point. She would occasionally forget who people were, or where she was. Her mind was literally playing tricks on her, just like the woman in the song. Everyone in our family knew she was coming up to the end of her life, just like the line which says “Soon it will all be over, and buried with our past”. She spent a year or two before her death in a nursing home, where my grandfather would go to visit and try to talk to her. I guarantee that at some point, while watching her sleep, he had thoughts similar to the man in the song, lamenting, “We used to play outside when we were young, and full of life and full of love.” He is now 94, and she was 89. They actually had been together since they were young, just like the couple in the song. ----- “You're gone, gone, gone away I watched you disappear All that's left is a ghost of you Now we're torn, torn, torn apart There's nothing we can do Just let me go, we'll meet again soon Now wait, wait, wait for me Please hang around I'll see you when I fall asleep” After time in the nursing home, my grandmother finally passed away in April of this year. If I were able to get an inside glimpse at my grandfather’s thoughts, I know for certain this stanza would be exactly what he was thinking at the time. His lifelong wife was now gone. He watched her disappear. Pictures of her are still up around their house. The two slept in separate bedrooms, right next to each other; he hasn’t touched her room at all. It’s almost as if he is waiting for her to return someday, and go back to her room, so he leaves it perfectly unchanged. It truly does feel as if her ghost is still hovering around there. In the song, “Just let me go, we’ll meet again soon” would be my grandmother telling him to move on; they both believe they will meet in an afterlife. But despite knowing this would happen eventually, my grandfather was not ready to let her go. “Now wait, wait, wait for me/ Please hang around/ I’ll see you when I fall asleep” is my grandfather trying to hold on to the faintest feeling of her, for just as long as possible. ----- “Because though the truth may vary This ship will carry Our bodies safe to shore” I’ve always seen the ship in this song as the house. That house has been around for nearly a century; figuratively speaking, it has served as the backbone of our entire family for decades. Children were raised there. Holidays were spent there. Since my grandmother’s passing, my relatives have been trying to coax my grandfather into moving to an elderly housing unit, since he doesn’t necessarily need a large house just for himself. He is extremely reluctant to leave the house though; I’m starting to feel as if he just wants to stay there for the rest of his life. To him, it’s home. It’s safe. No matter what has happened to him over the last 70+ years (“Though the truth may vary”), that house has always been there for him to come back to. It’s like a trustworthy vessel. And a captain always goes down with his ship. He wants to ride it out to the very end. What made this song exponentially more emotional for me was that the first time I heard it was when I was actually in their house on a visit, last month. I was unable to make it to my grandmother’s funeral in April, so this was the first time I had been back to visit. The moment took on such a surreal feeling, it was honestly hard to believe. |

| Crashdiet – It's A Miricle Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Great song, but whoever posted the lyrics here needs to learn the English language. Not to be a grammar nazi, but damn. | |
| Coldplay – Violet Hill Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song to me sounds like the account of Lieutenant Tonder in "The Moon Is Down" by John Steinbeck. The book is about a small town in Europe that is conquered by (presumably) the Nazis. "Was a long and dark December/From the rooftops I remember/There was snow/White snow" ----- Snow is mentioned countless times in the book to build a foreboding, tense feeling between the conquered people and the conquerers. "Clearly I remember/From the windows they were watching/While we froze down below" ----- The citizens of the town are very vigilant, and always on the lookout to avoid the Nazis who patrolled the town. "My nerves are poles that unfroze" ----- The Nazis came into the town expecting a simple victory, and the got it. But even after defeat, the citizens were resilient and hostile towards their conquerers, and this drove the Nazis into a fit of nervousness. "I don't want to be a soldier/Who the captain of some sinking ship/Would stow far below" ----- Tonder, along with another Lieutenant often express that they don't want to be in the town, they want to simply return home. They don't want to be soldiers anymore, no matter what they're doing, because they have been lied to. They were told that the citizens would love them, but they don't. "So if you love me, won't you let me know?" ----- Lieutenant Tonder misses his simple life so much, that he ends up going to visit one of the women that the Nazis conquered for company. He asks her if she could ever love him, even after all his people have done. She ends up killing him. |

| Jakob Dylan – Will It Grow? Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| It obviously appears that this song is a metaphor for a damaged relationship, but when I first listened to it, I heard the story of Tom Joad and his family in The Grapes of Wrath, by Steinbeck. For generations, the Joads had lived on and cultivated their land, but the Dust Bowl forced them out. The only difference I can see is that in the book, the problem is heat, not cold. | |
| Volbeat – Mr. & Mrs. Ness Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song seems to be connected to Volbeat's other song, "Mary Ann's Place". In that song, the singer is at the grave of Mary Ann, which is right next to Lucy's grave. Then in this song, you hear that Lucy's and Mary Ann's mother, Mrs. Ness just killed herself, presumably because she couldn't deal with the fact that her two daughters were dead. Now Mr. Ness has been arrested on the assumption that he killed his wife. This then, could lead into another song by Volbeat, "Sad Man's Tongue", in which Mr. Ness is said to be "sitting my time" in jail, pondering over all that he has been through in life. |

| Damn, sorry about the double post. | |
| Volbeat – Sad Man's Tongue Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| The guy has lived life. Simple as that. He grew up, heard (but never really listened to) advice moving out, and then experienced all that life had to offer, which ended up putting him in the slammer. Now all he's left with is a pantload of stories to tell about what he's been through. He's disillusioned and bummed that that's all there is. | |
| Volbeat – Radio Girl Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
The singer appears to be in love with a singer that he heard on the radio, but I think it's more than just that. The guy is reminiscing about old times, and he sees just how much things have changed (the drive-in is closing, the movies out of work). This girl he hears singing somehow brings about feelings of his younger days, and he likes that. That's what attracts him to her. He even goes to a freezing parking lot just because the reception is better there. It's not a physical attraction like normal love songs, it's completely emotional. Her voice brings out something inside of him and he likes that. |

| Volbeat – Light A Way Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Pretty straightforward song. A kid growing up in a broken home looking for a way to help himself and his mother out of their sorry state. | |
| Volbeat – Hallelujah Goat Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think in this sense, "goat" is referring to a scapegoat. The singer refers back to days a "long time ago" where men were lucky and enjoyed wine, but now "hell is here" and people no longer enjoy things. Instead, we are all looking for someone/something to blame our problems on, which in this case seems to be God, or religion in general. The title then makes sense, as "Hallelujah" is often used in a religious setting, so a Hallelujah Goat would be using religion as a scapegoat to blame problems upon. | |
| Thin Lizzy – Don't Believe A Word Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I'm gonna have to disagree with Burtonite. It's perfectly possible that you could be right, in fact you probably are. I just see it differently. This song sounds extremely sarcastic to me. It sounds like Phil poured out his heart to a girl, but she turned away because she didn't believe him. He is completely broken, and wonders why in the world she wouldn't believe what he said. "Don't believe a word For words are so easily spoken Your heart is like a promise Made to be broken" ----- He's angry here, but he's covering his anger up with sarcasm. Like, "Of course, that's what I meant. I never really liked you. I just liked hurting you." He can't understand why she doesn't see that he doesn't mean to hurt her. |

| Shinedown – What a Shame Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I just finished reading "The Winter of Our Discontent" by John Steinbeck, and the exact correlation just blew me away. This song sounds 100% like something that Ethan Allen Hawley would say about the death of Danny Taylor. "I watched it all up close I knew him more than most I saw a side of him he never showed Full of sympathy For a world that wouldn't let him be" ----- Ethan and Danny had been friends forever, or at least a very long time. Ethan says that Danny was like a brother to him, even closer than a brother could have been. ' "Thats the man he was" ----- Despite Ethan's and others' attempts to get him to change, Danny continually told everyone that he was nothing more than a drunk, and never would be any better. That's simply who he was. "What a shame To judge a life that you can't change" ----- Again, Danny wouldn't change. Ethan tried, even to the point that it killed Danny, but nothing would come of it. "Theres a hard life for every silver spoon Theres a touch of gray for every shade of blue" ----- In the story, family heritage is very critical to the character's value of self-worth. Hawleys, Bakers, and Taylors are the three main prestigious families, and Danny is the last Taylor left. Despite the fine background his family had (every silver spoon/shade of blue), Danny simply fell away from his family name and became a drunk (a hard life/touch of gray). "God forgive the hands that laid you down" ----- This is Ethan hoping for forgiveness, because he is indirectly the one who killed Danny. He gave Danny $1000 in the hopes of seeking help and becoming cured, all the while knowing that Danny would simply drink himself to death and relinquish his family estate over to Ethan. "And now you will live forever" ----- In the story, Ethan realizes that his deceased Aunt Deborah will live forever in the memories and teachings she passed on to him. Ethan now realizes that the same is true for Danny. |
|
| Rise Against – Long Forgotten Sons Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song sounds a LOT like something Winston Smith would say in George Orwell's 1984. The first verse are Winston's thoughts after his first affair with Julia in the woods away from the city. He realizes that there is a lot more than Big Brother can promise and he wants more. The line: "We work to fix the work that you've undone" is also something Winston would say, as his job is to correct the mistakes that the Government has made. He erases the past and changes it to fit what the Party tells him to. "Our lips are sewn our ears are filled With the constant drone of the unfulfilled" ----- If anyone speaks out (or even thinks out, for that matter) against the Party, they will be eliminated. That's why their lips are sewn. Plus, "our ears are filled" refers to the massive amounts of propaganda that the Party forces upon the people (Hate Week, Junior Anti-Sex League, etc.) "But we'll never fall if we stand for something We stand for something" ----- Winston always felt that even if he was killed, the Party couldn't win because he would never truly betray Julia. That's what he stands for: his love for Julia. "We are the long forgotten sons And daughters that don't belong to anyone" ----- This could literally mean forgotten son in the sense that Winston hasn't known his mother in years, or it could be a metaphor for the fact that the Party is no longer concerned with the well-being of the individuals (sons and daughters), who now feel that they don't belong to anyone, because no one cares for them. "There's hope in these footsteps of persistence" ----- Winston repeatedly says that the only hope for humanity is in the mass of the population, the Proles, who the government doesn't really regulate at all. He believes that the Proles have the power to overcome the Party, if they could only ever find a reason to. |

| Savatage – Sleep Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Reminds of me "Turn On Your Light" by Judas Priest. | |
| Savatage – He Carves His Stone Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think it's about a dying man writing his memoirs. However, it could be a man chiseling his tombstone, seeing as the line, "Here among the souls no longer living" is likely about a cemetery. The line "On that final night" seems to indicate that he is about to die, which would support my two hypotheses. Sill, I think there's more to it than that. | |

| Iron Maiden – El Dorado Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I like this song. I'm not going to say that I love it, because Maiden has definitely had better songs, but it's not bad by any means. Instrumentally, it's all Maiden. I like how the lyrics flow with the song, not all of their songs seem to do well at that. My only issue with this song is Bruce's voice. He's not letting it out as much as normal; he seems to be holding back a lot, especially if you compare this song to one like "Out of the Shadows". |

| Bruce Springsteen – Paradise Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I believe the suicide bomber does commit suicide. I think s/he has lost a loved one, which would explain the lines "I search for you on the other side/I see you on the other side". When s/he finds their loved one however, they realize that the "Paradise" that their extremist religion has promised them has been a lie and they both now live in emptiness. I would agree though, that the Virginia widow/er did not follow through with suicide, according to the final two lines. That seems to be pretty clear. |
|
| P.O.D. – Going In Blind Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| The great thing about music is that it can be interpreted in countless different ways. If you don't want it to be about God, then don't make it be that way for you. Take this song and make the meaning fit however you want to. | |
| Metal Church – No Friend Of Mine Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Ramones. The KKK Took My Baby Away. Of course, it's not about the KKK to nearly the same extent as this song is. | |
| Creed – A Thousand Faces Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
To be honest, I misheard the lyrics at first. I thought he said "You and a thousand faces", not "You wear a thousand faces" which is why I thought he was speaking to many people, rather than one, or himself. Now, I see your perspective more. I agree that he is looking inside of himself then, even if that would make himself talk in third person. If that's the case, then this song can somewhat be linked with Overcome. The line that says "How is stepping back a move forward?" also agrees with that, because he feels like he has past a certain stage in life, and looking back would be pointless, and he feels he has (or at least needs to) overcome that event. |
|
| Wolfmother – Caroline Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This song definitely should have been on the standard album, not just the deluxe edition. The same goes for Eyes Open. Of course, if all the good material was on the standard album, there would be no reason to put out more money for the deluxe edition. | |
| Creed – A Thousand Faces Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
How am I the first comment on this song? It's probably my favorite song from Full Circle, if not "On My Sleeve". Anyways, I see this song as a sequel to "My Own Prison", the song, not the entire album. Compare a few things: My Own Prison: The walls are cold and pale, the cage made of steel... Gabriel stands and confirms, I've created my own prison" A Thousand Faces: "I stand surrounded by the walls that once defined me..." My Own Prison goes on to say "A Lion roars in the darkness, only he holds the key. A light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally". A Thousand Faces builds off of that, with Stapp seeming to look back upon the mental prison he was in. He sympathizes with the thousands of others who are still stuck in similar situations. He has to "look behind" to see where he once was, and what he overcame. The line "Why can't you see the truth?" reflects his realization in My Own Prison, and he is asking you why you can't see the same thing and free yourself. The line that says "Broken mirrors paint the floor" is kind of complicated. I think, the singer finally got fed up and tired of looking in the mirror and seeing a reflection that he didn't like (because he was still in his mental prison), so smashing the mirror is symbolic of breaking the chains and becoming free. My two cents. |
|
| Megadeth – 44 Minutes Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This is far and away the best song on Endgame. It has the most epic intro you could even hope for, and... gahhh, it's hard to even explain. It's just that good. I would comment on the lyrics, seeing as this is "SongMEANINGS" not "SongQUALITY", but the meaning has already been put forth several times. | |
| Creed – Rain Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Danget. I was just about to put these up. I put the lyrics for Overcome up, and I wanted to see how many I could get off of Full Circle. Anyways, great song. I've seen people say it a lot, but it does have many similarities to Don't Stop Dancing. Out of the two on this album I've heard so far, I prefer Overcome, but this is by no means bad. Definitely can't wait until the album comes out. Just a little more than a month left. |

| Pearl Jam – Just Breathe Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I don't think it's humanly possible to sum it up better than you did. | |
| Metallica – Casper (The Day That Never Comes demo) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| At times, I like this better than the actual album version. There's some points where James' voice sounds better, plus the intro has a bit more of a spooky sound to it. | |
| Megadeth – I'll Be There Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
"In my hour of need You were there always" I think in a little tiny bit of a way, this song may be a sequel to In My Darkest Hour, seeing as on Darkest Hour Dave says "In my hour of need, no, you were not there". It seems to fit to me. |
|
| Iced Earth – Melancholy (Holy Martyr) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I can see where you get that from. That's not what I think, but that's what music is. Eeryone draws their own opinions and feelings from songs. If you want my opinion, I believe it is their interpretation of Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemene. Luke 22:43 says, "Father if thou be willing, remove this cup from me, nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be done." To me, that's him saying "Make the sadness go away". He didn't want to die, but knew he had to. Satan was tempting him then, trying to get him to resist, telling him that there was no point. That's where all the "I don't mean anything" and "worthless" parts come into play, that's what Satan is feeding Jesus. |

| I think she had a stillborn child. | |
| Megadeth – Sweating Bullets Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| That's the best part. You could have dozens upon dozens or even hundreds of boring average sounding vocalists. Nobody can match Mustaine though, he's so unique. | |
| Megadeth – Sweating Bullets Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I'm just about with you here, À Tout le Monde (And yes, the accent above the A does make a difference in meaning) is my favorite M'deth song, but In My Darkest Hour is 2nd, making this around 3rd. I love when he says, "A Dark black past is my most valued posession!" He says it like the Joker would have said something in the Dark Knight. |
|
| Iced Earth – Ghost Of Freedom Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I agree. This song would have fit perfectly on Glorious Burden. I don't even see why it was on Horror Show, except for the fact that it has "Ghost" in the title. | |
| Guns N' Roses – Civil War Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
It's a quote from the movie Cool Hand Luke, and it's used somewhat as a metaphor, so it's not your fault you don't get it. You have to think about it more. You also have to see the movie to understand the context that it was in. "What we've got here is a failure to communicate... Some men you just can't reach..." They're saying that you disagree with somebody else about something, and you just can't get your dispute solved. That's where problems come in, and that's where the song picks up about how problems lead to war, which is bad, and you can figure the rest out for yourself. |
|
| Metallica – Suicide & Redemption Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| The middle part is just beyond words, it's probably the most serene minute or so in Metallica's entire discography. | |
| Metallica – Suicide & Redemption Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| What in the hell were you smoking when you wrote this? Quit typing while high. | |
| Social Distortion – Reach for the Sky Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Yeah, it basically is. Story of My Life is him reflecting, and Reach For the Sky is him reaching his decision on life. Pretty freaking awesome. |
|
| Paradise Lost – Say Just Words Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Best PL song without a doubt. And yeah, I can completely see how it would be directed at someone who tries to tear you down. It's actually fairly obvious. "Where can I go to escape your foul mind tricks?" "You're trying it more, but you will never break me/but you will never get satisfaction." Very strong song. "'Cause you presume the winner is you but that's not true." I love that line so much. |
|
| Guns N' Roses – This I Love Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
John Koutris got it exact. It's about Axl still being in shock from the breakup with Stephanie, and he believes that he can fix it. He still wants her and hopes she'll come back, because he still loves her and figures she still loves him. The whole song has that eerie feeling to it which adds a whole other dimension to it. |
|
| Guns N' Roses – Prostitute Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I agree with Perceptes. I was expecting some song about sex and women-bashing, but as far as I can tell, this has nothing at all to do with Prostitution. Even after the 17 billionth time I've listened to this, I still can't put my finger on what it means exactly. Joe K. is probably on to it there, but it sounds more complex than that to me. |
