Regina Spektor – Laughing With Lyrics 16 years ago
this is my take on it... the laughing is almost mocking god/believing that he isnt there. here is a breakdown of laughing with.

No one laughs at God in a hospital- no one mocks/doesnt believe in god in serious situations.. eg hospital or war
No one laughs at God in a war.. as above ... doesnt mock god because of the seriousness of the situation
No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor- no one mocks god in this situation because God is all they have... well they believe this.

No one laughs at God when the doctor calls after some routine tests- again a serious situation ... eg i hope to god i dont have this that etc... they pray.. which clearly shows they believe in higher powers.
No one's laughing at God when it's gotten real late and their kid's not back from that party yet- making out that its not a funny situation as something could have happened to their kids... praying again.. beleive that god will help them.

No one laughs at God when their airplane starts to uncontrollably shake- fear, people start to pray.
No one's laughing at God when they see the one they love hand in hand with someone else and they hope that they're mistaken- love is not a joke and again serious situation
No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door and they say "We've got some bad new, sir,"- serious situation where no one is laughing/eg death accident etc.
No one's laughing at God when there's a famine, fire or flood- no one will laugh when the world suffers .

But God can be funny- meaning god can show humour
At a cocktail party while listening to a good God-themed joke or
Or when the crazies (non religious people maybe) say he hates us- meaning that god hates us thats why he is laughing etc. and they get so red in the head you think that they're about to choke

God can be funny
When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie- magical higher power
Who does magic like Houdini- has incredible tricks/power
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus- grants wishes as though they are not real

God can be so hilarious
Ha ha
Ha ha

No one laughs at God in a hospital- what i said b4
No one laughs at God in a war
No one's laughing at God when they've lost all they got and they don't know what for- meaning that the person will not be laughing when they have lost everything they have .... they confide in god.

No one laughs at God on the day they realize that the last sight they'll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes- meaning that the last pair of eyes they see.. either b4 they die or having a fight is a pair of 'hateful eyes' which isnt funny.
No one's laughing at God when they're saying their goodbyes- could possibly mean death as no one is laughing as they are farwelling there loved ones.

in summary all the things in the song which are mentioned are serious/bad situations eg war/hospital etc etc... this song shows no one is laughing at god when all these things happen as we confide in him to help us through certain situations and the last line were all laughing with him means he is being taken as a joke until something bad happens in our life and we find comfort in either praying or talking to god.


THANKS IF YOU READ ALL THAT! XXX_MILZ__

Savage Garden – Crash And Burn Lyrics 16 years ago
HEY THIS IS MY TAKE ON IT:

When you feel all alone-- no one is there for you
And the world has turned its back on you-- the world/your world has fallen apart
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart--- give me a moment to calm you down/show care etc
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you--- feels like everything in your mind is almost shutting down
Its hard to find relief and people can be so cold--- its hard to find someone to talk to and some people dont actually care..

When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you cant take anymore--- when something happens and you feel like you can not go on

Let me be the one you call--- the one friend
If you jump Ill break your fall-- always there for you
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night--- take you away from that dark place
If you need to fall apart---- come to me --- cry etc
I can mend a broken heart--- offer support
If you need to crash then crash and burn-- if you need to cry and get upset.. that was put very bluntly
Youre not alone--- you not the only one..

When you feel all alone---- with no one there...
And a loyal friend
is hard to find--- trust issues
Youre caught in a one way street---- only one way out
With the monsters
in your head.... things you believe that arent possiblytrue
When hopes and dreams are far away--- you are so far off ever thinking that you have hopes or dreams
You feel like you cant face the day-- cant get out of bed//dont want to face the day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump Ill break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
Youre not alone

And there has always been heartache and pain

And when its over youll breathe again
Youll breath again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call
If you jump Ill break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
Youre not alone

The Fray – How To Save A Life Lyrics 16 years ago
here is my take on it.

its obviously a friend who does drugs we have established that and the other friend is trying to get him back.

Step one you say we need to talk:
Meaning that the friend has approached his mate about talking. Using force by saying we need to talk.

He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
meaning that a talk is just very harmless and he is not in trouble or the friend isnt going to bite.

He smiles politely back at you
meaning that he knows what is coming but is to afraid to talk and just gives like a nervous smile back


You stare politely right on through
meaning you are trying to help them but listening but all you can do is stare.

Some sort of window to your right
mEANing that there is sort of the light at the end of the tunnel to the right ... like a solution or help/theapy

As he goes left and you stay right
meaning that he is not taking the right option and going that way but going the complete opposite.

Between the lines of fear and blame

meaning that the friend fears for his friends life but also at the same time is blaming him for where he has come to.. who he has become..

And you begin to wonder why you came
you start doubting as a person if this guy is worth trying to save and wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend ----- meaning that the drugs has taken his friend from him
Somewhere along in the bitterness------------ the drugs
And would I have stayed up with you all night----- would have done anything to help his friend
Had I known how to save a life-------- if he knew what to do.. he would help


Let him know that you know best----- meaning that you are a good example.... tell him you know best
Cause after all you do know best---- he doesnt do drugs/good role model
Try to slip past his defense---- try to get past what he is trying not to show you/or block out
Without granting innocence------- without saying its ok... be firm... but fair and caring
Lay down a list of what is wrong---- tell him directly what is wrong ... caring again
The things you've told him all along--- meaning that you have said this from the start
And I pray to God he hears you---- hope to god he hears you.. listens/understands what he is doing wrong
And I pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And would I have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice--- defending himself /getting mad for his friend trying to change him
You lower yours and grant him one last choice----- last choice being stay friends with me or im going/choose the drugs
Drive until you lose the road----- never give up on what you chasing sorta thing
Or break with the ones you've followed--- give up and take the easy way out
He will do one of two things---- he is making a choice here
You will admit to everything----- he will tell you everything/breakdown etc want to to listen
Or he'll say he's just not the same--- close up and stay defensive
And you'll begin to wonder why you came--- and you will doubt why you came... eg waste of time.. not worth it ..

thats my take on it.. its a great song with a great meaning. xx MILZ
