| The Delgados – The Light Before We Land Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
This song is about depression. Clear and simple. Those who have gone through clinical depression will catch it immediately. "In cases such as these I'd like a hand Don't wake me up without a master plan With silence I'm becoming fragile Don't you understand? When things that once were beautiful Are bland" To me, things I used to love, aren't fun anymore. I lay in bed for hours. Looking for a reason to leave my bed. "And when I feel like I can feel once again Let me stay awhile Soak it in awhile If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong Buy a little time For this head of mine Haven for us" There are moments of clarity. Moments where I feel like I can laugh again. I wish I could bottle up these moments for later. Later when the moments of happiness turn into moments of dread, worthlessness, and thoughts of ending it all. "Before we let euphoria Convince us we are free Remind us how we used to feel Before when life was real" When I'm feeling happy, there's still a nagging thought in the back of my mind. The thought that this is all going to end soon, and the next wave of depression will set it. Again, clinical depression makes you feel like nothing is real. Like nothing matters. And being happy reminds me of my carefree years. When I didn't have a demon in my chest, sucking out all the joy, life, and happiness from my life. It's rare to find a piece of music that confronts and describes depression so boldly. |

| Janis Ian – At Seventeen Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
My Favorite lines. "And those of us with ravaged faces Lacking in the social graces Desperately remained at home Inventing lovers on the phone Who called to say - come dance with me And murmured vague obscenities It isn't all it seems at seventeen" Those of us who weren't absolutely stunning. Those of us who were awkward growing up.... we didn't have the luxury of a lover in high school. We imagined what it would be like, and we made them up in our minds... a prince or princess that would sweep us off our feet, and would sometimes send a lewd comment our way.... |

| Janis Ian – In the Winter Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Reminds me a lot of Adele's "Someone Like You". It's a song of a girl who, after all these years, is still in love with the one who broke her heart. She is happy for how his life turned out, but still feels so insecure and lonely inside, but doesn't show it when they run into each other. |

| Future of Forestry – Slow Your Breath Down Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It's a song of acceptance. A song of forgiveness. A song of God's never-ending grace. "Slow your breath down, just take it slow." Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God..." You're not alone, you're now a part of me. John 15:4 "Remain in me, and I will remain in you..." You'll feel the cure, I'll feel the toil that brought you. Is 53:3,4,5 "He was despised and rejected– a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on Him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses He carried; it was our sorrows that weighed Him down. And we thought His troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for His own sins! But He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed." No matter what I've done, He welcomes me with open arms and calls me His own. He wipes away all I've done and claims ME as His son! |
