Shakespeare would cry reading this. Michael Crichton would have to do some studies on why these lyrics are so beautiful. |

There is no wrong interpretation of a song. Ever. The only wrong interpretation is labeling someone else's interpretation as wrong. I don't take any of their lyrics seriously, but it is not wrong if someone does. |

| Dream Theater – The Count of Tuscany Lyrics

This song reminds me alot of The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allen Poe. However, referencing someone else's post, it's about John Petrucci's experience.
The end of this song is 6 minutes of musical GENIUS!!! This song is like a movie. Amazing song, and by far the longest I've kept on repeat. |

In his live version, "Special Ed", he adds a verse:
Ohh special Ed
Momma momma dropped him dropped him on his head
Now he thinks he can drive his bed
Cause he's a little bit BLAHH
Just a little bit
Such a great song. So funny xD |

| The Calling – Stigmatized Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
This song, both from personal interpretation and I think the lyricist's intent, is about a long-distance gay relationship.
For those who flunked English, stigma means infamy... an infamous person is a social outcast. To be stigmatized means to be cast out and infamous.
I was walking home the other night listening to this song, paying close attention to the words and beauty of it (typically I feel out a song a couple of times just to memorize the melody). When I listened to the lyrics... "Even God himself and the faith I knew shouldn't hold me back, shouldn't keep me from you" and then toward the end with the falsetto and heavier guitar, thinking of my own mate (I'm gay and in an online relationship), I nearly cried, realizing what this song is about. "We live our lives on different sides", "Even if no one understands", "If I give up on you I give up on me", "I believe in you". This absolutely matches my own relationship PERFECTLY! Me and Forest live our lives on different sides of the country. I'm pretty openly gay while he is extremely secretive about it because of the fear he has of exposing it.
"Even God himself and the faith I knew shouldn't hold me back, shouldn't keep me from you." This means the lyricist was a Christian but is doubting his faith based on what he feels in his heart. Traditionally, Christians frown upon gay relationships. 5/7 or so of America is Christian, and a majority of those believe homosexuality is wrong. This is why he's referring to being in this relationship as being stigmatized; society discriminates against gays.
This song is incredible! Beautiful lyrics and singing! It makes me want to be with my mate, so we can... guess what? Live our lives stigmatized. |

This song, if it isn't obvious, is a spoof of Alanis Morisette's "Isn't It Ironic?". Love his rendition xD |

I think it's about someone who ran away from home, and came back to realize he or she wasn't wanted. IDK this one's a shot in the dark for me. |

Best song off the Bend album; one of my favourite albums ever...
My mom and I interpret this song as post-relationship boredom. Like, you're alone and nothing really seems to be fun anymore. The end of the song represents realization that this challenge of getting over an ex will make you stronger in the end. |

Ack! Missed a part in teh bridge x3 Oh well, no biggie.
This song is incredible. I think it has something about learning to deal with life's challenges and having someone to talk to for encouragement to make it through. |

To me, this song refers to teens making dumb decisions while they're young and taking their parents for granted, then later regretting it in life. Beautiful and touching song... my sister should hear it >_> |

This was one of my favourites in 2006. Judging by the music video, I'd say it's about an abusive partner, possibly influenced by drugs. |

This song scared the crap outta me when I was younger. It was so haunting and I was going through some tough emotional times.
Abasement has the best interpretation with "one of his inspirations, or someone he really looked up to, some sort of an authority figure was suppose to help him out through a tough time, but then he relizes, that this person is just a liar is doing no good in his life, and only made problems worse." Possibly it could be a family member. |

I've always had a feeling this song was about a death of some sort. Kinda figured this out back in 2005 when I first heard it and feared my own and my family's deaths. I was a messed up 13 year old xD |

| Fair to Midland – Orphan Anthem '86 Lyrics

This song sounds to me like being the nonconformist. Like, "I'm different, and you can hold that against me all you want." That becomes evident to me in the chorus.
With the way religion ties into this song (ahoff64's comment) this song, to me, is about being gay in a homophobic world. |

Easy meaning here. The lyricist wants to get over someone (a past lover) because that person hurt/hurts them, but can't. Epic song! TRAPT PWNZ!!! |

| Trapt – Lost Realist Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
Well, if these lyrics are accurate, then boy have I been misinformed. I've been running on the lyrics "Will the dice ever roll? Will I ever know" instead of "With the ties that were wrong, With the lie I belong". Either way, they both sound similar and mean the same thing to me.
This song has a very personal meaning with me. It silhouettes my life of being poor and not knowing exactly where I'm headed or knowing how to even begin to get where I want to go. It kind of has the same meaning to me as a song that I wrote about reaching age eighteen and realizing "This wasn't what I had in mind!"
Beautiful song, one of my all-time favourites, and by far the best song by Trapt (and that's saying something because I love most of Trapt's stuff). |

| The Delgados – No Danger Lyrics
| 14 years ago

This is, in my own opinion and wild music taste, the greatest song I have ever heard. My dad started listening to The Delgados after a friend turned him on to them in 2001. I was only 9 when I first heard it, but I knew good music when I heard it. Ever since, I have listened to this song nonstop.
The lyrics still remain a mystery to me. It could be about overcoming the stupid things we do as teenagers and young adults, but it could also be about how helping someone weak and downtrodden gets misinterpreted as love (i.e. gossip). Whatever it is, these lyrics, as well as this song, is absolutely beautiful. Shame they broke up. |

| VNV Nation – Carbon Lyrics
| 14 years ago

VNV Nation has a habit of writing lyrics which make you stop and rethink everything.
This song I believe is about how we push instinct and nature aside to glorify ourselves and our deities. "The light that no one can see" represents a higher being, and "we cut the Earth until it bleeds, rain ashes from the sky, just to make [it]" can refer to crusades, suicide bombings, perhaps a nuclear holocaust inspired by religious difference.
The most meaningful lines to me in this song:
"I can�t see this all as progress
How did we come this far when we see ourselves as deities,
Claim nature for ourselves?
By our actions we betray the instincts in our race
By our blindness and stupidity
We kill everything, we kill everything. " |
