| Disturbed – Mistress Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
@ Metallicfire...I think this is a perfect description. Also, the fact that a mistress is a "hidden lover", kind of like he wants this person so bad but she is "poisoning the world" for him, so he can only have her if he wants to be weakened and if he gives up everything else. And I think when he says "decide to let me in" He is saying that he wants her to decide to give up the games and love him for who he is...even though he probably knows in his heart it won't happen, sadly. |

| U2 – Acrobat Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I love this song. It seems to be so objective, as if you could just take yourself out of the hellish world and transcend above it for a moment to set yourself straight. "Don't believe what you hear, don't believe what you see - if you just close your eyes, you can feel the enemy." We get so caught up in trying to understand what is going on, in trying to distinguish good and evil in the world, and then it changes. We read too much into things, when really it's as simple as taking a step back, closing your eyes, and thinking with your heart and head in appropriate amounts, which is quite difficult to do sometimes. "And I must be an acrobat to talk like this and act like that..." To me this almost sounds cynical. It sounds like it's almost talking about conformity, like how we have to adapt/change ourselves to fit into situations comfortably. Acrobats are slinky, color-changers, flexible i.e. adaptable...we sometimes think/act on one thing but say/do another. Overall I feel the theme of the song is about trying to find yourself in a corrupt environment, and as hard as it is and always will be, the best advice you can take is just "don't let the bastards grind you down." |

That's exactly what I always thought it was about. Although I see it as more figurative than literal...perhaps the piano just represents her finding secret and self-inflicted ways to rid herself of the pain that she went through. "Rinse down the hurt before it stains" - part of the whiskey melody that haunts her? Or it could mean hide the pain before anyone sees it...? Perhaps even the father telling her not to say anything about the ambiguous situation between the two of them...? An even more general way to look at the whole song is about a kid who grows up in a not-so-family-oriented home, and all she knows is the little amount of attention she's given, and so her view of the world is distorted...like a child who's been neglected...? |

I think this song is about being with someone and having insecurity in yourself that you're not good enough for them, so in turn it corrupts you and gives you this attitude that the only ways to make yourself feel better is to beat down on them and essentially separate from them. The moral of the story: there shouldn't be competition in love, but we do it anyway, as regretful as it is! |

| Nelly Furtado – Party Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| For the life of me, I can not understand the meaning of this song, but I love it so much. Reading the lyrics, it seems to have a really depressing and sad undertone to it, which is ironic since the beat is so fun and smooth...leave it to Nelly to pull off a stunt like that and make it look good!! | |

I think the whole song has a general idea of losing faith, not specifically in a religious context, but just faith in general. People can lose faith in their religion, in their gods, in spirit, in themselves, in other people...anything! I think that's what this is about. I hadn't even thought of it before until just now that the first verse almost sounds like she's talking about conformity, about how people give up their authenticity to reach for something more contemporary. It's like we discard what we know we should hold onto just to taste what's on the other side, even for a moment. The second verse is really about losing faith - it comes across strongly. She's talking exactly about how she lost that faith, how something caused her to push it away from herself, but she still has a piece of that faith, she's just tired and weary. Almost like an anti-hero...not good, but not bad. By the time you reach the bridge, it seems like the song has progressed in meaning, going from conformity to loss of faith and finally to the decision-making. It's like a time line. It's like she's realized what she's become and is finally fed up with it and is going to "drop a bomb" on her skeleton and get rid of it once and for all. The end of the song kind of reeks of "You made your bed, now lay in it." Love this song. Folklore was the best album of hers. The songs are so ambiguous and so deep. |
