Breaking Benjamin – Without You Lyrics 14 years ago
Wow that's weird cos that's the exact story it makes me think of too...that is not a stupud interpretation! Losing her, then going to the underworld to try and being her back, but failing...

Breaking Benjamin – What Lies Beneath Lyrics 14 years ago
That's a good interpretation actually, though I guess it's not necessarily a woman being raped...I say that because of course the singer is a man and i find it hard to distinguish the gender of the point of view and the singer. But yeah, this makes sense. When I first heard it I thought of something similar

Within Temptation – Forgiven Lyrics 14 years ago
To me this song must have been based on the TV series Supernatural...this will only make sense if you've seen till the end of season 2

'Couldn't save you from the start
Love you so it hurts my soul
can you forgive me for trying again
Your silence makes me hold my breath
Oh, time has passed you by'

Sam Winchester has died and his brother Dean realises he never could have saved him from Azazel's plans. Now he's standing over his body grieving and decides to sell his soul to bring him back to life

'Oh, for so long I've tried to shield you from the world
Oh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own
Here I am
Left in silence'

All their lives Dean protected Sam as best he could from everything. It was when they were separated that Sam was killed, neither of them could ever be truly free alone and now Sam's gone.

'You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven'

Kinda speaks for itself, Dean can't deal with Sam being gone from the world and all the issues he had with him mean nothing now.

'I watched the clouds drifting away
Still the sun can't warm my face'

Dean's despair...

'I know it was destined to go wrong
You were looking for the great escape
To chase your demons way'

They were destined to lose this battle, there was never a chance of saving Sam, who was looking for the great escape in trying to beat the darkness within himself, the darkness of his demon blood. Also flashback to season 1 where Sam ran away from life as a hunter, escaping, because he wanted a normal life away from the demons and everything.

'I've been so lost since you've gone
Why not me before you?
Why did fate deceive me?'

Dean would have wanted to die before Sam since he always protected his little brother, no matter what. Now he can't deal with the world any more without his brother.

'Everything turned out so wrong
Why did you leave me silence?'

Again, it speaks for itself. how could Sam just die and leave Dean?

the last chorus could just repeat or it could be afterwards, after Dean sold his soul for Sam's life, Sam thinking about Dean making the deal for him, thinking he'd given up and desperate to save him.

this is the best meaning i've come up with, it seems to fit absolutely perfectly and i mean this in a non-slash way

Within Temptation – The Swan Song Lyrics 15 years ago
i think it's about someone who's going to sacrifice themselves for something but they're in a way all right with it because they've suffered so much and they lost somebody in the struggle who they hope to be reunited with after death, where it says 'we will be together again' makes me think she's looking forward to death cos she'll see them again.

and the Supernatural episode Swan Song feels very based on this song too

Within Temptation – A Dangerous Mind Lyrics 15 years ago
I know it's a bit of a cliche but i agree with those who think it's about a boyfriend who's starting to show signs of being a little bit unstable or violent...i'm sot saying that's what it means to me but it was probably written about that. Maybe not just unstable though, he might have some secret in his past that has changed him and made him someone dangerous and that's what she's searching for

Breaking Benjamin – Evil Angel Lyrics 15 years ago
it's about a betrayal from someone he loved more than anything.
i'm just expanding my previous idea

'hold it together, birds of a feather
nothing but lies and crooked wings'
they're similar somehow even as they hurt each other

'i have the answer, spreading the cancer
you are the faith inside me'
their pain is leaking into everything but still they love their friend like crazy

'no, don't leave me to die here
help me survive here alone'
don't leave me basically, i can't survive without you

'don't remember, remember'
forget the bad stuff we did to each other

'put me to sleep, evil angel'
the comfort their masochistic union gives him

'open your wings, evil angel'
the other one shows their true evil and darkness

'i'm a believer, nothing could be worse
all these imaginary friends'
he keeps believing and fighting for their love but he's realising it's naive and stupid

'hiding betrayal, drive in the nail
hoping to find a saviour'
he takes all the pain and betrayal because he thinks he can save his friend somehow, that he can't survive without them

'don't surrender, surrender'
don't give up, we can still make it through

then 'fly over me, evil angel'
the darkness inside them is overwhelming him

'why can't i breathe, evil angel?'
he realises that it's gone too far, he's lost the battle and finally the darkness in his friend is going to destroy him

the way he keeps saying angel shows that he really believes there's still a chance for them, that they can save each other...maybe there is but the evil angel fails to find it this time

this is their best song i swear

Breaking Benjamin – Give Me A Sign Lyrics 15 years ago
this is one of their ultimate best songs i think it's about two friends who actually are caught up in some huge apocalyptic war...one of them has some kind of special power or significance but refuses to use it to help

'dead star shine
light up the sky
i'm all out of breath
my walls are closing in'
this part makes me think of a big nuclear cataclysm or something that they're trapped close to and can't escape

'days go by
give me a sign'
one thinks the one with the power can save them but they're scared or unwilling despite all that they're enduring

'come back to the end
the shepherd of the damned'
he pleads for his friend's help in saving himself and the world

'i can feel you falling away'
he knows they're scared and wants to help-later, also feels like they're abandoning him

'no longer the lost, no longer the same'
they've been changed forever, hardened by the war

'i can feel you starting to break
i'll keep you alive if you show me the way'
they need each other to get through

'forever and ever the scars will remain'
there will never be a true end, they will never forget the horrors of their lives

'i'm falling apart
leave me here forever in the dark'
he has lost hope and faith in his friend when they continue to refuse to help for whatever reason and he's breaking up

'daylight dies, blackout the skies'
again, the apocalypse progressing

'does anyone care, is anybody there?"
he's alone without his friend and hopeless

'take this life, empty inside'
he tries to save the world himself since he no longer cares but he fails

'i'm already dead
i'll rise to fall again' (Best lines!)
he has given everything in this struggle and failed, but yet he carries on

'God help me i've come undone
out of the light of the sun'
calling out to God for help of course, desperation when everything seems so dark

'give me a sign
there's something buried in the words'
he comes back to his friend the one with the power and pleads again for them to help

'give me a sign
your tears are adding to the floods'
they're crying, begging him to leave them alone but he's saying, we need you. the floods can also represent the apocalypse i guess. his final hope for them to save the world, oto give him hope and a reason to go on

ok so maybe breaking benjamin didn't write the song about that but it's what it means to me

it probably just means two people dealing with suicide or drugs or something and trying to help each other out
i also thought of one of them dying and the other not knowing hat to do without them cos i connect it to without you as well

Breaking Benjamin – What Lies Beneath Lyrics 15 years ago
it's about two people who used to care about each other but now have become enemies, but one thinks that he can get through to the other and save them

'take a breath, hold it in
start a fight you won't win'
they are really fighting, this is a big betrayal of their past

'had enough, let's begin
never mind i don't care'
they're trying not to care about killing each other

'all in all you're no good
you don't cry like you should
let it go if you could
when love dies in the end'
the evil one insists they don't care any more

'so i'll find what lies beneath your sick twisted smile
as i lie underneath your cold jaded eyes'
the good one is trying to believe the other can be saved even when they're torturing him


now you turn the tide on me cos you're so unkind
i will always be here for the rest of my life'
the good one is punished (imprisoned) for the other one's crime

'here we go does it hurt
say goodbye to this world'
this is again during their fight when they're killing each other

'i will not be undone
come to life it gets worse'
the good one is being beaten but keeps trying, he can't even die to escape the torture

i'll be gone when you fall
your sad life says it all'
the evil one injures the other and leaves them in this huge mess

the next chorus is again about the good one trying to believe his friend can be saved

'don't carry me under'
basically don't destroy me
'you're the devil in disguise'
the good one is losing his faith
'God sing for the hopeless'
he's trying so hard but all that has been done to him is destroying him even without the presence of his friend who has run off and left him
'I'm the one you left behind'
he comes face to face with the other and tells him how much he hurt him

i realise i keep using 'he' it's because i immediately think of two brothers on opposing sides, randomly

Avenged Sevenfold – Strength of The World Lyrics 15 years ago
i think it's about a man who was part of some secret organisation and his enemies got to his family and killed them, so he went after them in revenge. but after he killed them he can't believe it was the best thing to do and he feels like it was all for nothing and he's lost himself in the fight for nothing. when he says strength of the world it's like feeling he's doing the world a favour by getting rid of the killers but also that he feels he has the strength to go on forever for his revenge
this song is like an epic movie on it's own!

Skillet – Comatose Lyrics 15 years ago
i actually am a christian dont tell me i don't know what im saying i still don't think this paticular song is about God i admit it could be but i dont think so
i think its pretty simply about a guy who's actually in a coma and yet he can feel someone he loves, maybe a brother or a girlfriend, being near him and willing him to wake up
then second verse he has woken up and finds that this person looks like theyve betrayed him and hes not sure if it true but cant properly forgive them even though he loves them this makes me think it's probably a girlfriend who went out with someone else or something
'bringing life' is a return to when he woke up i think the one he loves found the only way to wake him when everyone else had given up on him
it could be about God but i don't really think so

Skillet – Rebirthing Lyrics 15 years ago
i think it could actually be about jesus being resurrected since they are a christian band
or not
otherwise just feeling like life is terrible and there's no dawn, completely destroyed by pain or something. heres the story i put with it

a guy has made a great sacrifice and is now undergoing a painful transformation into some kind of superhuman creature but the process is very long and painful and he doesn't know if he'll survive it and fight on-fantasy epic
'i lie here paralytic inside this soul'
he's trapped inside himself defenceless against the forces trying to destroy who he is
'screaming for you till my throat is numb'
calling out for God or just someone he lives doest matter, for help
'i gotta break out, i need a way out, i don't believe that it's gotta be this way'
he can't take it any more, he's sure there was another way of saving whoever he sacrificed himself for and nothing was worth this it's like the hero's denial stage
'the worst is the waiting in this womb im suffocating'
he thinks the transformation is going to kill him
'feel your presence filling up my lungs with oxygen i take you in'
someones reaching out to him and helping him survive the ordeal
'i've died'
hes remembering the moment of his sacrifice
'rebirthing now'
hes alive again!
'i wanna live for love wanna live for you and me'
he returns to the one he loves
'breathe for the first time now, i come alive somehow'
they meet and they're both rejuvenated by his life next part is pretty much the same
'i lie here lifeless in this cocoon shedding my skin cause im ready to'
back to his transformation, the moment he really changes into something stronger, decides he can go on
' i wanna break out, i found a way out, i don'tbelieve that its gotta be this way'
ok he gets out of there, same as before
'tell me when im gonna live again, tell me when i'm gonna breathe you in'
he calls out to his love in his mind
'tell me when im gonna feel inside tell me when im gonna feel alive'
they call back, tell him to keep fighting cos they need him

the hero survives the transformation and returns to life-that's why it could mean Jesus Christ. or just someone like anakin skywalker

Breaking Benjamin – Dance With The Devil Lyrics 15 years ago
'here i stand helpless and left for dead'
this is where his hopes are destroyed and he can't go on
'close your eyes so many days go by'
life means nothing, he's tired of everything
'easy to find what's wrong, harder to find what's right'
he knows he's gonna have to do something terrible to change it, to me it means sell his soul but it could just be suicide or murder
'i believe in you, i can show you that i can see right through all your enmity and lies'
maybe an added part of his pain and depression, someone he loves betraying him, if he's selling his soul mit's maybe to change them
'i won't stay long in this world so wrong'
he can't take the world any more, he's going ahead witht his horror he's going to do
'say goodbye as we dance with the devil tonight'
he's raising the devil, making his pact/suicide pact with the girl he loves
'don't you dare look at him in the eyes, as we dance with the devil tonight'
he knows how wrong and terrible this is but he goes ahead anyway
'trembling crawling across my skin'
the horror of what he has done comes home
'feeling your cold dead eyes stealing the life of mine'
now we know that whatever he has done has actually killed or other wise destroyed the one he loves by mistake
that's what it means to me, suicide pact, decicison to murder of pact with the devil

Breaking Benjamin – Unknown Soldier Lyrics 15 years ago
i think it's about a guy who is driven to violence maybe being a soldier or doing terrible4 things out of grief and anger after losing the one person he can ever truly love or believe in...
'show me what it's like to dream in black and white' say to me that he's trying to stop feeling the people hes hurting and killing, trying to see them all as enemies and nothing more so he can drown his grief
'so i can leave this world tonight' mean he could have a death wish or he just wants to lose himself in the horror of what he's doing and not have to feel any more
losing someone has destroyed him and he's trying to stop being human and become someone who can't feel
sorry that's a bit garbled

my first explanation is magic demon powers but i realise that breaking benjamin probably didn't write the song about that

it seemed like a song about vampires the first time, with all the darkness stuff, and then I thought it could be also connected to Star Wars, as in Luke and Anakin fighting the Dark Side...now I don't know.

Linkin Park – New Divide Lyrics 16 years ago
I just have this vision of a guy standing high on a cliff and the lightning is literally 'all around him', kind of energising him, as if he's one with it. it creates really intense images for me... and there's a girl, maybe his love, who misunderstands that he's trying to save the world and thinks he's betrayed her somehow( and your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve), and even while the apocalypse is being reversed his life with her is falling apart, and the new divide is both a metaphor for the rift in their relationship and literally a manifestation of the apocalypse. the 'floods' have a similar double meaning and of course there's the 'fate' thing which brings to mind all those stories of chosen heroes saving the world? there' something at least about how the devastation mentioned is both real and physical, as well as being internal, a state of mind.
