| Florence + the Machine – Shake It Out Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song can mean anything to anyone and maybe this is not what the artist intended, but as a Christian, when I listen to it, it reminds me of all the struggles that I face daily to walk out a holy life. The lines that say... Regrets collect like old friends Here to relieve your darkest moments I can see no way, I can see no way And all of the goons come out to play Then every demon wants his pound of flesh Reminds me of all the wrong decisions I have made during this dark hopeless season of my life and how I can literally feel demons pouncing on me reminding me of all the wrong choices and whispering words of hopelessness. However, the song is really empowering. It encourages me to shake off the voices and look for a dawn. |

| This Day & Age – Always Straight Ahead Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It's a girl, that wants the guy, but she's scared he's not the one. She's terrified, that something better is 'around the bend'. Its years later, and time is bringing her back to this same guy. He's telling her to avoid the "unknown" (of some better expectation) that's ringing inside her head. However, she just keeps locking up her heart to his advances, even though she hears love knocking. And he tries to reason with her, don't live in your regret and just watch the sun rise and set again, you should be with me. But she can't realize, that she has no one, because she's in her own way of having true love with this guy. Anyways, that's my interpretation at least, as I'm living this scenario out right now in my own life. |

| Delerium – Lost and Found Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This song reminds me of myself. There was a guy that I was in love with. I put him on a pedestal. No one compared to him. I loved him so deep and he hurt me so deep. He wasn't good for me, and I couldn't stay with him because of it. But despite his cruel ways, I had unconditional love for him. It's been 14 years now; and still I subconsciously haven't allowed myself to give someone else a fair shot. I just feel like I can't find anyone on his level. Also, serendipitous type things would always happen between us too, to make me want to have hope and hold on. For example, i ran into him in the mall one day. I ran into him at a stop light another day. That would be no big deal if we lived in a small town. But he lives in a totally other country and the area our run ins took place is huge, it's comprised of 7M people. Anyways, he's married now, to his soul mate, and I'm tired of 'my sadness'...i too, hope I can stop being blind and step out into a new life in sight :)...my plan is to pray and fast this weekend and ask God (Jesus) for help. | |
| The XX – Infinity Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
When I hear this song it reminds me of a relationship I had with someone 14 years ago. Though we lived in different countries, supernatural things would have us somehow always cross paths, one time at a stop light and most recently at the mall last year. There was a novel worthy, intense love between us, but there were also a lot of wounds that we inflicted on each other due to pride and immaturity and because of this we couldn't even talk to each other for more than a few hours without getting into ugly arguments. He moved on and got married. I dated a ton of guys that all happened to be little replicas of him and though I got several proposals, I couldn't give it up to the guys...and I couldn't give him up...always had a hope I would still be with him, but I am not and am still single. When I hear this song, I don't think of a conversation between a guy and a girl. I think of girl saying all those words to a guy...and in the last part "Give it up" I think of the girl reasoning with herself, by saying "Just give it up already, he's married" but then her heart responds hopelessly "but I can't give it up, I'm hopelessly in love for infinity". I'm writing this, cause you never know. Maybe it might help someone. If you have a love that has deeply wounded you, but you know the type of love you both share is rare and supernatural and can't be topped, don't let your scars no matter how painful they are, keep you bitter. The sting of loneliness and separation from your true love is far worst. As hard as it is FORGIVE. |
