Dashboard Confessional – Belle of the Boulevard Lyrics 16 years ago
i love this song, because every time i listen to it i get a different meaning. more so in my situation..

for now you let him,
just this once, just for now
and just like that, its over

self explanatory? but you think that maybe "just this time" could be something more...

don't turn away
dry your eyes, dry your eyes
don't be afraid
but keep it all inside, all inside
we fall apart
dry you eyes, dry your eyes
life is always hard
for the belle of the boulevard

for me, the chorus influences the previous lines, "just like that, it's over"
being emotionally unstable myself, if you tell someone about the things that make you sad, they may or may not be sympathetic. i feel like the chorus is kind of a "there, there" from the person [from, "for now you let him in" so "him"] but at the same time they want to kind of leave you alone because they're creeped out by the way you feel, it's hard being the belle of the boulevard.. the person on the outside line.. off to the side...

i definitely know this song is about keeping your head high even though things may screw themselves up, hoping for something that may or may not ever come.. for the belle of the boulevard.

Dashboard Confessional – Belle of the Boulevard Lyrics 16 years ago
I don't like to think this actually, but i think this song is about a hooker or prostitute, or maybe a girl who might be teased/labeled to be in like a high school setting which could be the overall view of this song.. who is feeling incompetent that she doesn't think she's good enough and in this "occupation" she gets anyone but nobody's ever going to stick around for her in the end regardless if she has the "job" or not...

Secondhand Serenade – Maybe Lyrics 16 years ago

"Maybe it's just me.
Couldn't you believe that everything I said and did
wasn't just deceiving?
And the tear in your eye,
and your calm, hard face
makes me wish that I was never brought into this place."

the singer is regretting that they had been bluffing with their emotions, never told the one they idol straight out that they love them. when they found out after such a long time, they were upset that they had never told them, and when they finally admit it they don't belive it. thus having them both having their hearts shattered...

"There goes my ring,
it might as well have been shattered.
And I'm here to sing
about the things that mattered.
About the things that made us feel alive for oh so long.
About the things that kept you on my side when I was wrong."

the verse is about having them want the other back, trying to convince them that everything they did wasn't deceiving, they weren't just there for action, they may have HAD THE REPUTATION
my favorite song, hands down. ever.

Sum 41 – Pieces Lyrics 16 years ago
"This place is so empty.
My thoughts are so tempting.
I don't know how it got so bad.
Sometimes it's so crazy
but nothing can save me
but it's the only thing that I have."

my favorite part. i know this is about "finding yourself" but these lines make me think that you try to fit in using drugs, and when you find it's not worth it, you can't go back. your thoughts are temping and you can't belive it gets to you the way you never thought it would....

"If you'd believe it's in my soul,
I'd say all the words that I know
just to see if it would show.
Now I'm trying to let you know
that I'm better off on my own."

....and nobody knows about your drug addiction. and when you're going crazy/high/whatever you're trying to hint to them something's up but they don't see it and label you off as a basket case.

i get it.
