| Halsey – Colors Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
I love this song so very deeply. The way Halsey manages to describe someone as "devoid of color" whilst making them out to be the most beautiful thing she's ever experienced is incredible. She acknowledges his flaws and the sadness that is his emptiness, yet still finds him to be a masterpiece. I don't think she's putting him on a pedestal - I think she truly does see him in a way no one else does, including himself. It's heartbreaking. I cry each time I hear this song. (Side note: Matty inspired some of her best songs, I swear.) |

| Taylor Swift – Style Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
It's a relationship (most likely friends with benefits) that's just a vicious cycle - he disappears and reappears as he likes, basically calling the shots - but neither can fully quit it or each other. And in the end, they ignore all the red flags and repeated mistakes because they both want each other (though it may be a more emotional attachment on her side). It kills me because I'm going through this right now. He's a total mindf*** and I should have exited stage left months ago, but I can't help but stick with it for the few good moments. And it doesn't matter if I ask for advice or not from others, because I'm just going to stay the course in hopes that he'll call again. Thank goodness Taylor can adequately express what I cannot. (And write a simple bridge that I can yell along with in the car, haha.) |

| Now, Now Every Children – Dead Oaks Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I definitely think this song is about liking somebody who doesn't reciprocate the feelings. However, I don't think the muse knows how she feels, as indicated by "I can't call you up without a reason" (they aren't close enough for her to simply call and have a conversation) and a little bit by "but I could stay for longer, if you wanted me to" (it's tacked on at the end, as if the words are awkwardly rushing out as an after thought in an attempt to play it cool). I just get the sense that she reallllly likes this guy, and he's completely oblivious. I love it. |

| Taylor Swift – I Know Places Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
Agreed with the other comments (how does it not have more?) - all the constant talk and criticism of Taylor's relationships make her feel hunted. She still manages to inject her signature optimism in the chorus, though. So good. I love that the song's meaning is applicable to so many situations though. I'm sure everybody has fancied somebody they weren't supposed to (and maybe had their affections reciprocated) at some point - a teacher, a second lover, etc. - and had to keep it quiet. |

| Damien Rice – 9 Crimes Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I was going to write the exact same thing. Just to add to this: I think the woman is singing to her lover, while the man is singing to his partner (therefore making it likely that your first assumption - the other woman and the adulterer - is right). The other woman is more involved in their relationship than her lover is, because he's in a relationship, hence why her verse/chorus sound like pleas, while his verse/chorus sound like he feels torn between the two, and therefore guilty about cheating on his actual partner. |

| The Goo Goo Dolls – Iris Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
For me, I associate this with someone who feels broken finally finding someone they think will understand them. "And I don't want the world ... understand," suggests that the singer finds themselves broken, or flawed. They're ashamed of themselves and/or have shut down. "When everything's ... who I am" implies that, even though they're broken, they still find this one person incredible. Perhaps it's because they're simply infatuated, or because this person is the only one who doesn't look at the singer as an outcast. But there's something about them that makes the singer feel like he doesn't have to hide himself. "I know that you feel me somehow" could mean that the person is also broken, and the singer finds a companion and comfort in that. I feel this way toward someone, because he's "broken" in his own way. He doesn't see me like that, though, which brings back to the "I just want you to know who I am" line. Regardless of whether he ever feels that way or not, it's still nice to know someone else cares for me despite my flaws. |

| Taylor Swift – Come Back... Be Here Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think this is about a friends-with-benefits situation that turned into actual feelings on her end. The lines "I don't wanna miss you like this," "I don't wanna need you this way," and "I told myself don't get attached" hint at it, and the line "if I had known what I know now, I never would have played so nonchalant" really drives the point home. She thought she could be in a FWB situation and not get attached, telling herself she wouldn't develop feelings. Yet suddenly she's missing him like she would a boyfriend, not a FWB, and she realizes that she never should have acted like it was no big deal when she's beginning to fall. Just my take on it. I'm kind of in that position, so maybe I'm just twisting the words to fit my situation. Regardless, it's a lovely song. |

| Coldplay – What If Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
When I hear this, and where the pre-chorus (what if you should decide...) is placed, I imagine a couple talking after a fight. The boyfriend is ranting on and on about random and metaphorical "what ifs" until the woman gets fed up and yells "what are you getting at!?" He turns to her and says in outright fear and frustration: "what if you should decide that you don't want me there by your side? That you don't want me there in your life?" I don't know, just something I always see when listening. It's a lovely song, one that everybody can relate to. |

| Avril Lavigne – Goodbye Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
After hearing Avril talk about it on the Goodbye Lullaby DVD, it sounds like it's about Deryck. But I agree, it can be interpreted in many different ways. For me, this describes my relationship with my ex. We were constantly fighting, and though we were good for each other in many ways, we were also terrible. We're still best friends, and I still love him with all of my heart. So despite saying goodbye to our relationship and the romantic love, I hope he always knows that I love him so. I don't know. This just hits me hard because it's so achingly beautiful and relevant. |

| The Killers – Mr. Brightside Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Oh, and the "I never" at the end is sort of me saying two things: I never thought that it would come to this, and I never would do anything with my ex like he's doing to me to hurt him. Because I just want to be with him, and we promised we'd wait until I was older. The actual end. |

| The Killers – Mr. Brightside Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song kind of seems like a bunch of non sequiturs at first, but now that a certain situation has taken my life by surprise, I can relate to it completely. Long story short, I'm 17, got caught with a guy a BIT [I swear] older and we got into HUGE trouble. I am a musician, and my parents are my managers. We are no longer allowed to talk [so my parents and I are on good terms] or see each other.... Now, the guy broke up with his girlfriend for me early into our flirtationship, but we hit bumpy waters [same situation] and he admitted he still liked his ex and got together with her again. Broke up again, we got "together" [no one could know though, so we had no label], this happened... now I'm worried. SO. SONG TIME. "I'm coming out of my cage And I've been doing just fine Gotta gotta be down Because I want it all" -- My music career is expanding [coming out of my cage]. I have to be down because I want it all - meaning, I want my career to take off and I want to be a famous musician, so in order to do that, I have to "be down" with not talking to the guy. "It started out with a kiss How did it end up like this It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss" -- All we did was kiss, and now it's ended up in us being unable to talk or see each other. [My parents didn't know he liked me, I covered for him on that one] Now I'm falling asleep And she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke And she's taking a drag Now they're going to bed And my stomach is sick And it's all in my head But she's touching his chest Now, he takes off her dress Now, letting me go -- His ex is around his house all the time, spending the night with his best friend's girlfriend - he basically ignored her, but she was super close with his family. And now, in my head, I see them together... and it's not like I have to know, because we can't talk or anything like that. He's with her, letting me go. I just can't look its killing me And taking control -- He's all I think about. This thing with his ex is killing me. Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies Choking on your alibis -- I'm jealous, yeah. I'm choking on his alibis, hoping that he's not with her, but knowing he most likely is. The "sick lullabies" makes me think of the song "Lonely Lullaby" by Owl City, a song I listened to on repeat after the whole thing went down. But it's just the price I pay Destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes Cause I'm Mr Brightside -- Or in this case, "Ms. Brightside." Destiny is calling me, my music career is more important than this "maybe, maybe not" relationship. So I open up my eager eyes to all of the exciting things that are happening. Because I'm Ms. Brightside. [which is ironic, because we both hate it when people tell us to "look at the bright side!" But in a way, the irony is perfect. Yeah. Just my two worthless cents. Needed to get that out. |

| Bullet for My Valentine – Forever and Always Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Oh my, does this song speak to me... My parents won't allow me to see my boyfriend, and his circumstances don't allow it all too much either. So every second we're together, we just want to stay there forever and always. It gets really difficult, but we both know that what we have is something extremely rare, and that's why we refuse to give it up. No matter what. | |

I typed in the whole reason about why this song meant so much to me. It's not worth the length. This song is too amazing for words. |

| Hey Monday – Hangover Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
The correct lyrics are: Hit me out of nowhere like a car crash on the street, Suddenly colliding into me, Now I'm broken, bruised and beat up Tangled in my sheets, How can this feel so bad when you seemed so good for me? Oh my god, what's wrong with my head? Sweating with the chills, still in my bed, Tell me how I'll ever make it through It's the short hellos and the long goodbyes, The shake in my lip from the look in your eyes Makes me wanna die, I've got the worst hangover from you Swimming in the deep and trying to keep from turning blue Danger, danger, hoping not to drown (Somebody get me out of here) Sinking in the quicksand just to walk right up to you You're so easy to pick up and so hard to put down Oh my god, what's wrong with my head? Sweating with the chills, still in my bed Tell me how I'll ever make it through It's the short hellos and the long goodbyes The shake in my lip from the look in your eyes Makes me wanna die I've got the worst hangover from you All that I really wanted was a habit I could drop anytime that I wanted to And what I really got was you (And no medicine, is gonna kill it) Oh my god, what's wrong with my head? Sweating with the chills, still in my bed Tell me how I'll ever make it through It's the short hellos and the long goodbyes The shake in my lip from the look in your eyes Makes me wanna die I've got the worst hangover Oh my god, what's wrong with my head? Sweating with the chills, still in my bed Tell me how I'll ever make it through It's the short hellos and the long goodbyes The shake in my lip from the look in your eyes Makes me wanna die I've got the worst hangover from you Anywho. I love this song so much... been in the situation before. Love is blind is what this song is saying, in my opinion. Someone seems so good for you, when everyone else can see how bad the relationship is. |

| Matt Nathanson – Sooner Surrender Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I, too, think it could be taken either way. Due to my current situation, I'm taking it in the sense that the guy doesn't want the last piece to fall away, therefore he's backing away from it all to save what's left of their friendship... Even though he wants to be with her. And how she's most likely found some other guy, and even though he knows it was for the best, he can't do it. Such a lovely song. I love the music, too. |

| Ashlee Simpson – Little Miss Obsessive Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Lyrics on every other site are "that side of your bed is still mine" and if you listen close, you can hear "bed is still mine" clearly. I love this song. So relatable to my situation. It's like... I could care less, you mean nothing... but you mean everything at the same time. It's such a bad situation to be in, because you're so conflicted. |

I can't believe no one has commented. Anyhow, I know it's about an ex who has a girlfriend, and the girl still loves her ex, but she can't love him. Describes my life :[ |

No comments? I'm surprised. Anyway, I love this song. The memories of losing you, you're like a ghost Tracing where I said to you I wish you would listen I wish you would listen I wish you would listen To get through it |

| Lights – Drive My Soul Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Lights has said that this song is about an element in your life that you cannot live without, and when you have to, you lose control. It could be anything: parents, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, even religious beliefs, or something supernatural, and whatever it is helps you follow your "road" or path, in a sense. With the line "I can't follow the way she moves" lots of people thought it was about friendship or lesbian themed, but Lights has said that the path you must follow is what "she" was, though she has no problem with anyone's sexual orientation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_My_Soul). I love this song. I listen to it all the time when I'm missing something :] |

| Natasha Bedingfield – Again Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
No one has commented on this song? Wow. I love this song so much. It describes me perfectly, though it's more like a different meaning. I have this lung disease, and sometimes it gets to me and I just want to throw it away. But then, I realize that I wouldn't have met the guy I've fallen head over heels for if I didn't have it (he may not like me back, but oh well). And I realize that if I had a choice, I'd do it all over again for him :] I think this song can relate to a lot of people. |

| Avril Lavigne – Tomorrow You Didn't Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think that "tomorrow you didn't, yesterday you won't" means that she sees what's going to happen, and that's she's just going to be let down again. "When it comes to your promise, it's just a lotta empty words to say... and the future's only gonna be more of the same." I think that means that he's done it before, he does it all the time, so she knows he's not going to do it tomorrow. Kinda like being let down over and over, and finally it just becomes this pattern that is so predictable. |
