| Skillet – It's Not Me, It's You Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| For me, this is definitely about my biological father. I can't speak for John or whoever wrote it, but it is exactly how I feel/don't feel about the heck that man has put me through all my life. | |
| Kings of Leon – Crawl Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The first verse seems he's talking to a woman who he's cowed down to all their relationship and he's saying you better learn to crawl like I have or I'm gone. I do feel like everyone else on the other parts...I think he is talking about the world and the U.S. falling down....terrorists wanting to see our great nation "crawl.." |

| Kings of Leon – I Want You Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I love the first verse. Just wish that nasty part wasn't in there. Otherwise it is a very sensual song. That second verse ruins it in my opinion...but who am I to talk? I still listen to it so I guess it can't ruin it too much! LOL | |
| Kings of Leon – Be Somebody Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
You guys are quite insightful. My sister loves this band and sent me this one, CRAWL, and CLOSER to listen to. When I heard this song, it hit home with me. I think he is with a girl that he cannot please. She demands he acts a certain way or he's not good enough for her like the line "trying to recall what you want me to say. I shake it 'your' way." I think he is saying if he ever gets the chance to show her who he really is, she will realize and love him, not for what she wants to show of in him, but for his true person. I'm probably wrong, but it just sounds like my first husband. I was never good enough for him. In fact, when I sing along, I say "I tighten my skirt" instead of "I loosen my tie." He always made me wear clothes that weren't me at all. It was scary and painful for me to try to get him to love me just for me. Never happened in my case. LOL |

| Things are never going to make total sense on this earth, but we can find happiness within ourselves and work toward that happiness???? Just my two cents... | |

| That's exactly what I though. It doesn't seem to have much hidden meaning. | |
| Tori Amos – Silent All These Years Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I have sang this song in the loneliness of my room for a long time. I feel I can relate so much. I think my interpretation is probably 'not' what Tori meant. you guys on here are so insightful. But I want to break down my own interpretation. I doubt anyone will read it anyway! LOL Excuse me, but can I be you for a while? My dog won't bite if you sit real still I've got the Antichrist in the kitchen yelling at me again Yeah I can hear him. ....to me, this part reminds me of when I was younger, and wanted to be someone else really bad. "yeah I can hear him" seems nonchalant, like the person I "want" to be doesn't have a bad home life with a father yelling at her all the time, so she is shocked by how the singer is treated, but the singer is so used to it. Been saved again by a garbage truck I've got something to say you know, but nothing comes .....I think that maybe her dad was about to hit her or abuse her and he was distracted by the truck. She wants to run out and tell someone but she is too scared. (I know I sound stupid, but it is just what it means to me - SO reminds me of my childhood.) Yes I know what you think of me, you never shutup Yeah I can hear that ....same thing with the dad telling her all these horrible things about herself. But what if I'm a mermaid In these jeans of his with her name still on it? Hey but I don't care cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been Here - Silent all these years. .....I really think that "what if I'm a mermaid" means what if I am something "out of this world" that someone would be fascinated by and proud of? What if underneath all these second-hand clothes and all this fear, I'm really something unique? So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts. What's so amazing about really deep thoughts? Boy, you best pray that I bleed real soon. How's that thought for ya? ....I think this is when she's older and has found someone just like her dad - someone who didn't appreciate her, who just left her for some snoot girl, and now she might be pregnant with this jerk's child. Just kind of a sad, but bold "in your face" from her. My scream got lost in a paper cup You think there's a heaven where Some screams have gone? I got 25 bucks and a cracker Do you think it's enough to get us there? .....I think this is her remembering the innocence of childhood and how we all, as kids, would scream in cups and think it was so neat. Again, she is reiterating her childhood life but wanting hope for that child inside that was so hurt. "Years go by Will I still be waiting For somebody else to understand? Years go by If I'm stripped of my beauty And the orange clouds raining in my head Years go by Will I choke on my tears Till finally there is nothing left? One more casualty You know we're too easy, easy, easy .....of course the innocence of the child, and her hurting still, wanting to get past the pain but afraid she won't ever see beauty in herself. Well, I love the way we communicate Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape Let's hear what you think of me now But baby don't look up The sky is falling .......in my personal life, the guy was left by the snoot and came back to her, and she accepts though she knows she's being used. Also, her father and her may have reconciled later in life somewhere down the line, and it is kindof to both the jerk man and her dad. Your mother shows up in a nasty dress And it's your turn now to stand where I stand Everybody lookin' at you Here, take hold of my hand Yeah, I can hear them" .....tables have turned on the two men that treated her so wrong, but she is not like them. She has a good heart and is so much stronger than they ever were. She is not a coward, so she doesn't treat them the way that they treated her. She doesn't nanny nanny boo boo in their faces. She helps them out and forgives them. Tough, but it shows such strength in a wise woman. This song is a big part of me. Forgive me for making such a sappy, long explanation. Like I said, you guys' interpretations rock. But, I just wanted the chance to type this and reminisce. Maybe cry a little....get it out and be that many steps closer to healing. God bless. -L. |

| Newsboys – Breakfast Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| If you don't like the newsboys or aren't curious about them, why are you reading their lyrics in the first place? Just to stick it to Christians? Well, God bless you anyway. You wrote this in 2002, so maybe you've changed by now. If not, I will lift you up in prayer tonight. | |
| Newsboys – Entertaining Angels Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The Bible says that we are to be cautious of how we treat people because there are times that we have entertained angels unaware. Isn't it strange to think that we could help someone with a flat tire or give a friendly smile, and we could have been in the presence of an angel or angels? I know that this song has more meaning to what you were all saying above rather than what I've suggested, but I get chills, and find such comfort in the fact that there are angels all around us. God Bless! | |
