So... I never had a defined idea about these lyrics, but tonight when I was listening to this something came to my mind: trying to push away people to protect them from the self. I don't really know, because I can see it in some parts of the song when it makes sense but didn't try to put it all together yet. But bah, it's just a flash idea I decided to share since I didn't find it here yet. I'll try to think about it "deeply" when I can, now I'm curious if I can put it together. |

| The Dresden Dolls – 672 Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| What comes to my mind is that she doesn't want people to find out about her, because of her expusure to the world with such introspective songs, so she just uses codes and codes. If the number has some meaning to her it isn't probably something we can or should know about. | |

Simple comment: Masturbating in a way to fill the empty about a lost. And that's just my interpretation. |

| Pain of Salvation – Undertow Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think he is stuck and he just wants to free himself from whatever is holding him. He feels numb and he wants to be able to make mistakes if that will make he feel. And yeah, I agree with soadroller. | |
| Linkin Park – Papercut Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think it talks about the side of him who always puts him down when he's alone. Like when he's depressed (you can definitely see he faces depression in the first verses) and he is as mean as he cans to himself, always insulting and criticizing, and pointing out his mistakes, what he did wrong and a lot of crap that hurts hi,. And that side of him, that "face" he has inside is like his worst enemy, always watching, ready to attack. And telling him he can't trust anyone, that everyone's against him. And that makes him feel paranoid and unsafe always looking over his back to see if there's someone who can hurt him. Shortly: I think it's about paranoia, depression and it's symptoms mostly. And that's just my opinion. |

| The Dresden Dolls – Bad Habit Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song is about an addiction that's destroying the person and that they can't stop. Amanda wrote this song finding inspiration on nail biting but it doesn't mean it can't describe other additions of 'self-destruction', like cutting/burning yourself, drinking, smoking, taking drugs, having sex, eating too much, etc. For example, when someone writes a love song they get inspiration in their loved ones, what it doesn't mean you can't listen to it and relate it to your feelings for someone completely different, it is supposed to describe love in general and not just the 'spring' of their inspiration. “biting keeps your words at bay tending to the sores that stay happiness is just a gash away”: When people repress themselves in order not to express what the feel they need to let it out somehow, and some of them start ‘bad habits’ so they can feel some relief. They believe happiness can be reached by doing that. "when i open a familiar scar pain goes shooting like a star comfort hasn't failed to follow so far": Although it is painful, the act gives them comfort. When someone is deprived of their addition they get the feeling of discomfort, and doing it feels kind of 'right'. "and you might say it's self-indulgent you might say its self-destructive but, you see, it's more productive than if i were to be healthy": Other people tend to judge them and don’t understand why they are doing that if that seems to be destroying them, but they think they’re better that way and they can easily continue their lives with the support of their addictions. “& pens and penknives take the blame crane my neck & scratch my name but the ugly marks are worth the momentary gain”: When they feel they have to do it they know that they’ll have to suffer the consequences of they’re acts, but in that situations the need is too difficult to resist and they think it is worth it. Also, probably it is difficult to take the responsibility of what it seems to be so horrible, so they blame it on the instruments, like they were the ones to ‘call’ them. “when i jab a sharpened object in choirs of angels seem to sing hymns of hate in memorandum”: The act almost becomes religious, and they get a great relief in doing it, like they were surrounded by some beautiful melody, of their thoughts of hate and rage, probably the things that made them do it in the first place. It’s like all of their awful feelings became something to take pleasure of. “but, you see, it's more productive than if i were to be happy”: It seems that they start to rather that habit than happiness. Maybe happiness just doesn’t feet them, or the habit just becomes who they are. This follows the ‘healthy’ sentence, which makes me thing that something changed, that this ‘emotion’ is the one to follow the first judgements. What they seemed to search for with their habit is different now. Now they admit that this is not making them happy but it still seems to be some kind of refuge. “and sappy songs about sex and cheating bland accounts of two lovers meeting make me want to give mankind a beating”: The things that put them down, that create the previous ‘hate’. Probably things that remind them of what they used to have and that they miss, or the bad things that happened to them. And that’s what makes them angry and revolted. And that kind of self-hurting makes them feel that they’re hurting the whole world, they’re having their revenge. “and as the skin rips off i cherish the revolting thought that even if i quit there's not a chance in hell i'd stop” : They know even if they wanted to, they couldn’t stop, it has become stronger than them. Feeling like they’ve lost control, and feeling weak makes them be even more revolted and makes them do it even more and even harder. Also, sometimes when people try to ‘quit’ doing something that has become a habit it’s very easy to slip, and the temptation seems to never disappear completely, so you never really ‘stop’. “and anyone can see the signs mittens in the summertime thank you for your pity, you are too kind”: In this part I see it in the perspective of cutting. People who cut themselves tend to hide the cuts/scars with long-sleeves during the winter and when summer comes it’s more difficult to hide them. And when she thanks people she’s being sarcastic, almost no-one likes pity, especially when it comes from hypocrisy. People pity the ones who seem unhappy but they do nothing about it. Ignoring would make them feel selfish so they’ll just tell people nice things and say: ‘Poor them…’, so that they can be proud of their great kindness, it surely makes everything alright. “and you might say its self-inflicted but you see that's contradictive why on earth would anyone practice self destruction?”: Most people with bad habits don’t mean to directly destroy themselves, the main objective is to relief pain or have a ‘positive’ reaction on them, give them pleasure, whatever, not to actually hurt themselves. As long as they feel better, it doesn’t matter if that gives them scars, diseases or a big fat belly. “i'm tried bandages and sinking i've tried gloves and even thinking i've tried vaseline i've tried everything”: They try everything but it is too addictive and the temptation seems to be stronger than them. “and no-one cares if your back is bleeding they're concerned with their hair receding”: People don’t truly care about them, it doesn’t matter if others are in pain, what really matters is if they look good enough. “looking back it was all maltreating every thought that occurred misleading, makes me want to give myself a beating”: Many people with these habits, who try to erase they’re problems with self-destructive behaviour, are depressed, and depression makes people be unable to think correctly. They have tendencies of not trusting people, thinking they’re worse than they really are, not realising other solutions, feeling incapable of doing things, etc. And that has prevented them from seeing the truth, controlling unfair thoughts and mistakes, which could have led to practising self-harming behaviour. And now that they’re thinking more clearly they realise that they’ve done all this harm to themselves for things that weren’t even there. And that, of course, is painful, and they really need to punish themselves for being such idiots. And this is how I feel the lyrics. Sorry for the length of the text, thank you for taking your time to read it. |

| Ornatos Violeta – Capitão Romance Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Ora bem, esta música é na opinião a descrever a perda de algo que era muito importante para a pessoa em questão e que ela apenas ficou a ver isso a afastar-se e a sair da sua vida sem nada fazer. Como no video, essa coisa era o que lhe dava vida, energia para continuar a viver: "Dá sentido à viagem Pra sentir que eu sou capaz" E que ele não consegue lutar para que essa coisa fique consigo. "Não vou procurar quem espero": Parece que ele apenas está à espera que isso vá ter com ele, ou que continue com ele, e ele não é capaz de a ir "procurar". E agora ele vai ter de continuar a sua vida, o seu rumo, que parece ser muito mais doloroso agora que nada lhe parece dar sentido, e que por isso ele não acredita que o vá conseguir tomar. E ele vai procurar a felicidade escondida nele, sem acreditar no que é capaz. "Hoje o mar sou eu": Agora o que ele vai ter de enfrentar é ele próprio, o que ele é e o que sente. Pronto e os maus pensamentos, ou saudade ou o que sejam não param de o atormentar. "Esperam-me homens que desistem Antes de morrer Por querer mais do que a vida": Talvez as pessoas que não esperaram que a morte viesse ter com elas e desistiram por não sentirem que a vida era suficiente para lutar por ela. "Sou a sombra do que eu sou": Ele sente que se tornou na parte mais sombria que fazia parte dele. "E ao fim não toquei em nada Do que em mim tocou": O que ele tinha amado tanto nunca chegou a amá-lo. Pronto, e isto é o que eu tiro daqui, desculpem se no texto é muito grande. |
