| Depeche Mode – Enjoy The Silence Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Words like violence Break the silence Come crashing in Into my little world Painful to me Pierce right through me Can't you understand Oh my little girl All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Vows are spoken To be broken Feelings are intense Words are trivial Pleasures remain So does the pain Words are meaningless And forgettable All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm ENJOY THE SILENCE |

| Sex Pistols – God Save the Queen Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
The lyrics are a bit angry, but I LOVE the title. "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN" I mean it man. 1977 was definitely a big year in music..... It is when I clued in! But, even MORE importantly, the roots were sinking in deep and creating a new whole ideology for independent musicians. "God Save The Queen" does rock. |

| Bob Marley and the Wailers – Redemption Song Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, None but ourselves can free our minds." Someone or something can break our spirit only if we give it/them permission. "But my hand was made strong, By the hands of the almighty" If we gather strength from within our souls and from whatever "God" means to us, we will be triumphant. This has always been my favorite Bob Marley song. He sings songs of freedom, so beautifully. |

| Crash Kings – Mountain Man Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
When I was fresh out of college I married a mountain man. He was smart, adventurous and good-looking. We climbed mountains, camped, hiked, fished, rafted, and skied out of bounds. It was glorious until his sense of adventure completely and suddenly shifted. When our relationship began, he believed that outdoor thrills were paramount to his well-being. Then he spiraled into ONLY craving a wicked buzz. This became his primary concern. Nothing else seemed to matter. I asked him to get help and he wouldn't. He became detached and abusive. I was young and had to be strong, so I made the decision to leave. It was a bold move and I had to be brave. I needed to take care of myself. This mountain man song reminds me of those years of my life. P.S. I actually DO really like this song! |

| I think this song is about a woman he loved. I don't think she is DEAD. I think he couldn't be with her. She has blue eyes. | |
| James Taylor – Fire And Rain Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song reminds me of my sister, who died when we were teenagers. We were two years apart and very close pals. To experience your only sibling's death when you are 17 years old teaches you to be tough. The pain shaped me. It not only taught me to be tough and take care of myself, but to live life LARGE. To take risks because we might not be here tomorrow. Life has definitely kicked me around since then. I'll live. This song reminds me how life can be so hard sometimes. |

| Carly Simon – You're So Vain Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I once had a guy tell me I was really vain. At least I THINK he was talking about me and not about himself. Oh no! Does that make me VAIN? Anyway, first things first. I don't think this guy is vain. I think he is good to himself, but he is also really good to the people he cares about. Next, just because someone TELLS you they are self-centered.... Do you believe them? Or are they self-deprecating? I have always been my own harshest critic. I want to be the best I can be. As a kid I was smart, pretty funny and semi-okay looking. My parents thought it was important to teach me to be able to laugh at myself. Now when I make fun of myself, instead of it being viewed as being humble, some people think I have "self-esteem issues". Then when I say I am actually are quite fond of myself, they say I am "vain"! It is a lose-lose. So if I appear vain to anyone, I do apologize. I am doing the best that I can. I am taking care of the people who are in my life- front and center and in my face- as best I know how. And yes, I make fun of myself AND take care of myself. Is this unique? I think that combo is much better than letting your head/mind/body GO and taking yourself seriously... But, maybe that statement makes me vain. I think this song is about Warren Beatty or Mick Jagger. And yes, of course, it is about me. "Self- centered to the extreme". |

| Wilco – A Shot in the Arm Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
There is a bootleg version of this (or a very live version, at least) that I own and it is amazing. Tweedy forgets all of the lyrics and tries to make the crowd sing along with him. It is pretty hilarious. Does anyone out there know what I am talking about? To me a shot in the arm is a dose of whatever you are addicted to. Of course it could be a person! "What you once were isn't what you want to be anymore." Yeah. I understand that. We all change a lot and go through things that make us grow and sometimes it is hard to recognize who you were originally. |

| My Morning Jacket – Lowdown Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Simple and short lyrics BUT I relate to this song because, first of all, I love the tune. Secondly, you can squeeze much out of the lyrics. "Lowdown, cheatin', ain't no need for repeatin' so Love Dawg can't you see? That you never gotta fight with me." He loves her in a "cheating" way. That is the Love Dawg part (it is not Love Doll, fyi). He is a lover, not a fighter. "Hurtin', Beatin', ain't no need for repeatin' so Love Dawg can't you see? That you never gotta bleed for me." He doesn't want her to "bleed" for him, meaning don't get too emotional about it all. He is saying no more hurting each other and no more beating each other up. He is not into harming her. "Stop the games". "Chancin', Glancin', sho nuff mood for romancin' so Love Dawg can't you see? That you only gotta dance with me." They have amazing romantic chemistry and like to stare at each other and take chances with each other. "Dancing" could mean connecting, engaging, playing, and/or simply taking part together in life somehow. That is what this song has always meant to me. |

| My Morning Jacket – The Way That He Sings Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
These comments crack me up. I think this song is SO meaningful. It speaks to how I relate to MMJ & to music in general. This song asks questions about music and love and the value and appeal of each. Some people think it is ALL lyrics. In fact it is something intangible. " it's just the way that he sings. Not the words that he says, or the band. I'm in love with his soul, it's a meaning that I understand". Music is love. You can not always disect or explain it. |

| Blitzen Trapper – Furr Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I just found this song and I love it! I was thinking recently about this very topic and losing my taste for judging right from wrong. Great lyrics. Like most of the comments, I believe the fur is symbolic of being wrapped up in yourself. When he is a wolf, he is child-like and fearless. He posesses a wild sense of adventure. Then he grew skin. He got married and began living life as a grown up. His skin is symbolic of living a life that God intended for him. But, he misses his carefree days of running with the pack. Maybe he then does something that makes him start growing fur again. He crosses over- back into the wild territory of his youth and it made him feel alive and young. But, he realizes after much time, that he must go back to living his life the way God planned for him. He is now making the transition from wolf back to man. The only problem is the fur. His mind is strong in knowing how to proceed with hia life, but the damn fur is difficult to get off his skin. He is now, after this experience, half wolf and half man. But he has learned many lessons. |

| Coldplay – Viva la Vida Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
It seems childish and convenient to try and explain real-life complicated relationships by using Jesus (good), Satan (bad), Heaven (good) and Hell (bad). Duh. We are ALL human beings here with complex thoughts and feelings. I have never been into interpreting the Bible literally. As human beings on this earth, we can sometimes lose our taste for judging right from wrong. That is what makes us human. We are, each one of us, IMPERFECT. We are not SATAN. We are not JESUS. I have tried several times, to tell someone I loved (yes, past tense) to GO. To be free! To live his life with gusto! He didn't go. He needed to go though something more. Now it is finished. So, again, Be Free! Draw comfort from the revelation that God has a plan for your life. Go forth with confidence in realizing that you are doing the "right" thing. In terms of the tension between meaning and insignificance, I will ALWAYS believe an experience was meaningful. If the lessons learned here are, to value the life you have and to hold it dear, then those lessons were well worth the bruises on your soul and the price of the struggle. That knowledge is certainly not something I would consider meaningless. God bless YOU. Waving Bye-Bye now. |

| Joan Armatrading – The Weakness In Me Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
For the past 3ish years I have gone through a life-altering experience. I have been in love with a man I am not married to. This song has been my life recently. He and I became friends immediately. I definitely felt an intense connection with him, I hadn't experienced before. Whether you call it great fondness, true love, major lust- it was real. Every relationship has a unique chemistry and I think ours was pretty special. Every time we were together it was powerful. We saw each other quite a bit, but never enough. I loved spending time with him. Our time together always seemed to go by much too quickly. When he decided to dissolve our friendship I was devastated, but I also understood. He and I had gotten too close to each other and we were both already married to great people. I knew I needed to carry on with my life. Although I missed him a lot (he had become a very good friend to me), I did my best to "move on" and give him his space. I had no hard feelings because, as difficult as it was, I knew that our friendship could potentially turn into something dangerous at any point. I'd like to mention that I have been with the same man for 15 years. I have never before acted in a way that could be considered "unfaithful". Obviously, that is no longer the case. This friend threw me over the edge into completely unfamiliar territory. I took responsibility for my feelings. My husband not only knew from my telling him, but from the look on my face every time I saw this man in my husband's presence. I also apologized to the man that I loved and to his wife for my "crossing the line". I am not going to get into the traumatic games that transpired, but believe me they were severe. I will never be the kind of person who cries "victim" because it does take two in a relationship. I absolutely accept responsibility for my part in the madness. But, I will forever wonder why a simple face to face conversation could not have sufficed. What he and I have been through is not easy, by any means. So, if I came into his life to show him that he must value the life he has, then my role was not insignificant. If we are all supposed to live our lives by "God's plan" and do what is considered "right" in his eyes, there is comfort and beauty in that, yet I won't allow that to belittle the love I experienced. It was IMPORTANT to go through that relationship. To realize that you have a wonderful life JUST THE WAY IT IS. I refuse to believe that a very powerful, life-changing (or not, in this case) experience meant nothing. It can go nowhere, yes, I understand that. But, that is ENTIRELY different than believing it was meaningless. I choose to believe this love I experienced and the trauma of the lessons learned were all in fact, part of God's plan. |
