| JoJo – In The Dark Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I was moved by the way the song was visually presented in the Official Music Video for this song. Yes, the song is primarily about a girl who is in a relationship with a guy just for physical gratification. But when you look beneath the surface, you can see several underlying unsettling issues faced by the girl. The most primal one is that she knows what she is doing is wrong but can't seem to stop herself. Moreover, she is emotionally getting attached to the guy while trying to remain fixed on the fact that he will never be truly only hers. The lyrics are so poignant and indicates the intense pain of the girl, the loss, the helplessness, the desperation and the love felt by her. | |
| Lifehouse – Somewhere In Between Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
For me, this song is basically about dealing with a problem. It could be any type of problem. Personally, whenever I think of this song, I think of my previous relationship. I remember saying to myself 5 months ago that I will get over him and even today, I have not managed to do it. I am still halfway in and halfway out. I am still unsure and uncertain about whether letting go would be the right decision though, I should move on, considering the fact that he really does not care a bit about me anymore. He has moved on just fine and is enjoying life while I am dealing with sleepless nights. Everytime when someone mentions his name or I hear a song which reminds me of him, I just go blank for sometime and his face suddenly appears out of nowhere in my mind. Its quite irritating how something inconsequential could renew my memories of him and I just stand there dazed, trying to regain my composure. Sometimes, usually at nights, when I go to bed, I have sufficient time to introspect on life and my train of thought always reaches our time together. In my mind, I go through everything once more and its quite agonizing and pleasing at the same time. Sometimes, the sadness crashes down on me with such a might that I can't do anything but just cry. The crying has gradually ceased somewhat but I still find myself thinking of him. I really do not think the love I feel for him has diminished over time. If anything, it has increased day by day upto an excruciating degree. I am just so tired and exhausted of walking on ashes and running after something which was lost long ago. Every night, I pacify myself by repeating over and over that I will heal and am still healing. Then, when I retrospect, I find that NOTHING has changed. Its like he has an irrevocable influence over me, which I thoroughly detest. This song captures my pain beautifully. I truly do not think I could heal completely or cease loving him. It might dull with the passage of time but it won't vanish, sadly. |

| Three Days Grace – Lost In You Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This is undoubtedly my favorite song by Three Days Grace, especially because I can relate to this so much. The whole song from beginning to end shows what happened between me and my ex. I was so lost in him, lost in such a way that I felt like I was submerged under my love for him. For over 9 months, I was living a life which resembled a rollercoaster ride, with so many uncountable ups and downs. He knew how much I loved him and he constantly did or said things which would hurt me terribly. It was like he was draining the life out of me day by day. We were so unstable and swinging from side to side. "I always knew that you would come back to get me And you always knew that it wouldn't be easy To go back to the start to see where it all began Or end up at the bottom to watch how it all ends" - Everytime I tried to distance myself from him, which is what is seemingly good for me, he would come back, not because he loves me but he just enjoys seeing how much I love him though he never loved me in the same way. "You tried to lie and say I was everything I remember when I said I'm nothing without you I'm nothing without you" - He was never able to love me completely but at the same time, he did love me upto some extent and needed me. But I was always the one making sacrifices and hurting for him. He used to try to make it seem like he needs me as much as I need him but he never did. "Somehow I found a way to get lost in you Let me inside, let me get close to you Change your mind I'll get lost if you want me to Somehow I found a way to get lost in you" - This is the most disturbing and troubling part of the whole relationship because I was willing to get hurt by him if it meant he would stay with me. It was like my own priorities did not matter anymore. "You always thought that I left myself open But you didn't know I was already broken I told myself that it wouldn't be so bad But pulling away you took everything I had" - He used to say that I am naive and foolish and that I gave people too much space to hurt me. He always perceived me as a weak person and now that I look back, I don't understand why I let him hurt me. By the time I realized he is detrimental, I pulled myself away from him though it nearly killed me inside. "The pain of it all, the rise and the fall I see it all in you Now every day I find myself saying I want to get lost in you, I'm nothing without you" - Now, when I think of him, I remember the day we first met, all that we have been through, all those nights when we kept on talking, all the things which he and only he knew. He was my best friend and more than anything, that is what I miss. I still wish I could have stayed with him, even though I am perfectly aware that it would be bad for me. I have never heard a truer song than this one. This song sort of shows how love can be harmful at times and it is not always a happy scenario. We are willing to sink deeper and deeper into sadness just to be with a person, who does not love us to begin with. It is a desperate and helpless feeling. If you are in a relationship like this, please end it immediately. It gets better with time and you WILL move on. |

| Adele – Someone Like You Lyrics | 14 years ago |

This song is obviously about a relationship which is no longer alive. Throughout the song, we can feel that the girl is not quite over what they had. In the first verse, she talks about how she came to know of her ex-boyfriend's marriage, thereby, implying that he is clearly over their relationship and has moved on. Upon hearing the news, she rushes to meet him to which he reacts negatively. Therefore, she sings, "Old friend, why are you so shy? It ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light." - He is not happy that she came to visit him. Now, she might have gone to congratulate him for his marriage and new life but that is merely a misconception. The actual reason is that she is still in love with him. The most heartbreaking and pitiful part of this whole song is when she painfully sings, "Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you." That single line implies a lot of meanings. Not only has he moved on from their love, but he also found happiness in someone else. Another woman was able to provide him with all those things which the singer is lacking. It makes the singer aware of her own inadequacies and of the fact that she failed to provide what he wanted and yet, she is still unconditionally in love with him, which is why she went to see him, so that he can realize that she is still yearning for him. She is clinging onto the faint shred of hope that he might return to her. Hence, she sings, I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited, "But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it. I hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded, That for me, it isn't over." However, her rational mind is clearly aware of the fact that he is too far away. Hence, in the chorus, she makes an attempt to pacify herself by saying she will find someone like him. Furthermore, she says that she holds no resentment towards him and wishes him well in life. Since he is an important part of her life that shaped the person she is now, she begs him to not forget her to which he replies, "Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead. Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah", probably implying that their relationship gave both of them nothing but pain and, so, its end was inevitable. In the second verse, she goes back in past to how they met ,fell in love and eventually met a tragic end. "Nothing compares, no worries or cares. Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made. Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?"- Now, this part is my favorite part out of the whole song. We often hear people say "never regret anything in life" and we obviously should not because every incident and/or person contributed significantly to who we are now. In these lines, she attempts to look back at their relationship with a clear perspective, a clear mind with no grudge or pain in it. She realizes that no matter how much she suffered because of him, what they had would always be an indispensable part of her life. Even if it did not end happily, ther days together will be a happy memory but since it ended heartbreakingly, it is said to be "bittersweet". She realizes that none of her regrets or worries or mistakes could ever be compared to the impossibly beautiful days he gave her. I suppose, this is the part where she figures out the ultimate resolution, regarding this matter. She might have pondered over their love, his faults, her mistakes, her regrets etc for a very long time. Now, she is tired and realizes she must move on. I have always loved this song but I never quite understood the meaning until my ex texted me, asking to listen to it. I seriously have decided to truly move on to better things in life. If anyone is struggling like this, please remember, "good things fall apart so better things can fall together." |

| Emily Osment – Unaddicted Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I wish I did not have to relate to this song. This song is about a girl who, no matter how much she tries, cannot get over a guy. She knows he is wrong for her and she should move on. But, she is glued to him, stuck on him like a drug. The more she thinks about him, the more she years to be with him. And being with him has become a necessity for her. Hence, she sings "I need your air, can I breathe you in? Well you're my light, my prayer, my sin". The line 'I need your air' sums up her entire emotion regarding him. This line describes his influence over her, how he is potent enough to be her fundamental reason for her existence. When they are together, she is complete. Everything that he is defines her, which is why she talks about breathing the same air as him. |

| Evanescence – Broken (Seether feat. Amy Lee) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Well, I was watching the official music video for this song and I was thinking why they chose that place as the background for the whole video. Because it is in ruins. It seems like a place deserted long ago which was once lively and joyful. But, now, I understand why.... Because the relationship they are talking about in this song is in RUINS. And I think that possibly, one of them even died. And maybe, that caused the relationship to end. Anyway, for whatever reason, it ran its course and met its end. Now, both of them are forced to start the whole process of moving on, getting over it, settling into the monotonous ways of life, painting a fake smile and acting like it does not pain to think of each other. However, both of them know that they truly complete each other. "I wanted to know, I love the way you laugh I want to hold you high, and steal your pain away I keep your photograph, and I know it serves me well I want to hold you high, and steal your pain. 'Coz I'm broken, when I'm lonesome And I don't feel right when you're gone away. You've gone away, you don't feel me anymore." - Here, the guy is saying that he is holding on desperately to her memories, each insignificant thing which reminds him of her. And that is what gives him the strength to face each day. He feels her pain and wishes to free her of it. He goes onto say that he is broken without her presence and support in his life. His life,somehow, feels wrong since she is absent. She has gone her way and they are forced to travel different paths. "The worst is over now, and we can breathe again I wanna hold you high, and steal my pain away There is so much left to learn, and no one left to fight I wanna hold you high, and steal your pain. 'Coz Im broken, when I'm open And I don't feel like I am strong enough 'Coz I'm broken, when I'm lonesome And I don't feel right when you're gone away. 'Coz I'm broken, when I'm open And I don't feel like I'm strong enough 'Coz I'm broken, when I'm lonesome And I don't feel right when you're gone away."- I think the first line implies that while they were in a relationship, they had to deal with countless problems along the way despite of their mutual and genuine love. And that could be the reason which led to its end. So, the hardest part was saying goodbye to the one you love because the course of life won't let you be with them. Now, the most painful part of bidding farewell is over and they can live in peace. I suppose that if they had stayed together and endured all the hurdles instead of parting, they could have worked out in the long run. The girl implies this in the line "There is so much left to learn, and no one left to fight" because they both have given up and separated and hence, there is no one to fight. Then, she proceeds to explain how her life feels bizarre and unreal without him by her side. Like him, she feels his pain and longs to set him free of it. She is broken and lonesome without him. He has gone away, and so, her life has become perplexing and melancholy. Its a little deeper than the usual 'moving-on' song because the people in this song are fundamental to each other's existence. They love each other but moreover, they need each other acutely to survive but were forced apart by the ways of life or maybe, even death. |

| Leona Lewis – Bleeding Love Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
The song is about a girl who is emotionally hurt by her lover repeatedly. "Closed off from love I didn't need the pain Once or twice was enough And it was all in vain Time starts to pass Before you know it you're frozen" - Here, she indicates that she was hurt in all of her past relationships. All of her efforts resulted in vain. She was tired of facing pain again and hence, she decided to be immune to pain by avoiding love. However, as time passes by, she realizes that she has become numb or "frozen" inside since her heart is hollow without love. She does not feel complete. "But something happened For the very first time with you My heart melts into the ground Found something true And everyone's looking round Thinking I'm going crazy" - Then, she meets a guy and falls head over heels. She was already sick of feeling so incomplete. That's when she meets him. He seemed like a perfect match for her and the desperation to feel love broke down all of her previously built defenses. She fell hopelessly in love with him. Everyone thinks he is wrong for her and warns her that he is going to hurt her eventually like all of her past boyfriends. "But I don't care what they say I'm in love with you They try to pull me away But they don't know the truth My heart's crippled by the vein That I keep on closing You cut me open and I Keep bleeding Keep, keep bleeding love I keep bleeding I keep, keep bleeding love Keep bleeding Keep, keep bleeding love You cut me open"- Here, she is overlooking all the warnings that people are giving her. Because she knows that no one knows how he makes her feel the way she does. And all this time, she had closed her heart to love to avoid torment. It worsened her condition and her heart became "crippled" because her world became bleak without love. This guy comes and cuts her heart open. He cuts the vein which is acting as a shield over her heart and makes it open towards love. When he opened it, she starts "bleeding love", that is, she starts loving him unconditionally. Now, she is free to love. But what he is actually doing is cutting her heart which is going to leave a scar. This implies that she is emotionally abused by him. That is why she is "bleeding" because she is in pain. But, even then, all she is doing is loving him wholeheartedly, hence, she is "bleeding love". "Trying hard not to hear But they talk so loud Their piercing sounds fill my ears Try to fill me with doubt Yet I know that the goal Is to keep me from falling But nothing's greater Than the rush that comes with your embrace And in this world of loneliness I see your face Yet everyone around me Thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe, maybe"- Everyone is telling her to let go of him because they all see that he is causing her pain. Everyone tries to keep her from falling in love with him. She tries to overlook the warnings but, deep down, she knows that they are right. However, the intense and unconditional love she feels for him overshadows her judgment. She tolerates the misery and continues to be with him. "And it's draining all of me Oh they find it hard to believe I'll be wearing these scars For everyone to see" - I think that she is implying how the relationships is killing her inside. He knowingly or inadvertently is hurting her. She feels all the scars he has given her. But loves him too blindly to let him go. Its such a captivating song about the struggle between what her head and heart are saying. |

This is seriously my life right now. Basically, its about falling in love with someone so hopelessly that even though that person repeatedly ends up hurting you, you are willing to hold onto him. He might do it inadvertently but either way, you know the relationship is dysfunctional and is only making you hurt yourself. Its sort of self-destructing because your love for him has become a haze on your judgement. The best remedy would be to let go. But you love him so unconditionally that you are willing to overlook the pain and be with him. He has become a drug for you. You know its wrong, but you have stubbornly decided to never give up. |

| Demi Lovato – Shut Up & Love Me Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This is exactly what I am going through. I love this guy and he loves me. He is the one who understands me so perfectly, the one I can talk to openly without inhibitions. But we keep on fighting and never agree on anything at all. And each time, I get hurt by his words and just want to give it all up. Its like one minute, we are picture perfect and then the next minute, everything gets shattered. And sometimes, I just wanna yell at him 'Shut up and Love me' because I know he needs me as much as I need him. "Don't say you need me Don't promise to change I know that you need me There's nothing to say" - This is SO true in my case because I know he loves and needs me and its not something that he has to express to me. Its easily understandable. The sickest part is even though all we do is fight and he can be a jerk at times, I never want him to change. Somehow, I am content even when we fight and at the same time, I wish it would stop. Its a paradox. "Shut up and love me 'Cause you've already got me Cause I don't need words And as much as it hurts I need love from you, baby"- This is again so true. It hurts like hell knowing that I get hurt and scarred inside repeatedly but I could never give him up. Could never go on a day without seeing his face. Its like you know you would do so much better if you stayed away but you can't make yourself do that because you know that you would be a wreck without him. And as much as it hurts, I just need his love to get through each day. |

| Miley Cyrus – The Driveway Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I have always loved this song, ever since it came out. But I never understood the meaning completely until now when I am in a similar situation.The song is about a relationship which has no future. No matter how much of efforts you contribute, it won't improve. The end is looming in the future and slowly approaching. At first, you deny and rebel against it. You try everything you can to not admit the truth and keep on holding onto that tiny shred of hope. Then, you start seeing more clearly and feel the pain of the relationship dying. Then comes acceptance and starting the process of moving on. I have been through this within the last couple of months. "A lot to say, but not today Let the radio break the silence as we drive A kiss goodbye, not this time Don't remember what about this song I ever liked" - I seriously feel a sting when I read this. Its about a condition when you have so much to say, so much love for a person but you can't show any of it because you know the relationship is hopeless. You have to suppress all of it in your heart and get rid of it. The belongingness you once used to feel is replaced by awkwardness. For me, when I hear the line 'Don't remember what about this song I ever liked' , it reminds me of how I felt for this guy. I can't understand why I ever liked him. "I thought maybe we were getting somewhere But we're still nowhere at all I watched your tail lights fading I try, but the tears won't fall I remember what it feels like To know love and have it taken away I can't think of what I've learned right now But I'll be thanking you someday"- The bridge is amazingly captivating. You think the relationship is going to have a future, its going to survive but then you realize it really has no future at all. Its getting nowhere. All you can do is watch it die and fade. And in the line 'I remember what it feels like To know love and have it taken away', it implies that this person went through heartaches before. So, its sort of like saying 'I know how this works. I have been there before. I have dealt with this before.' I think the girl is trying to pacify herself by saying that she can get through this pain because she has been heartbroken before in the past. Then, she goes onto say that she can't understand the reason for all of this. You think everything happens for a reason and mistakes exist so you can learn from it, pain exists to make you stronger. So, she is telling the guy that 'you were a mistake. You gave me pain. Our relationship gave me pain. But I don't know what I learned from it. But maybe someday, I will figure it out. And when I do, I will thank you.' The truest line is "You know nothing hurts like losing When you know it's really gone Except for the pain Of choosing to hold too long". It talks about our tendency to keep on holding onto something/someone even when we know that there is no use, that you already lost whatever you trying to achieve. In this case, the relationship died, its broken beyond repair but the girl tried to hold onto it and ignored acceptance. It only made things worse and the pain escalated. So, she finally realized that its best to let go. The whole song is amazing. Perfect for what I feel. |

| Miley Cyrus – Giving You Up Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
How come anyone has not commented on this song yet? Its absolutely, breathtakingly amazing and beautiful. Miley sings this with such a passion that I was quite surprised. Anyway, this song is mainly about getting over someone after break up. The girl in the song was in a relationship with a guy and her boyfriend did not treat her right probably and kept on playing with her feelings. In the first verse, she is talking about how much pain she goes through because of him and his games and inconsideration. She has wasted too many tears over him and dealt with too many sleepless nights. She keeps on trying to give him up and forget about him but somehow, goes back to him everytime. Next, she says that the feelings she has for him are so intense and strong that its impossible for her to be friends with him again. In the chorus, she decides that she deserves much more than what he is giving her. She makes up her mind to move on even if its difficult because the relationship has no hope of improvement and he won't change. She is just going to get hurt repeatedly so there is no point in trying. In the second verse, she is talking about all the promises he made which he did not keep. His words keep on replaying in her mind continuously. Then, she refers to the situation a lot girls go through, where our heart asks to hold on while our head says to let go. She implies that such a struggle is raging inside her and she will never win, indicating that she is always going to love him whether he is deserving or not. "Strip the layers Make me better Help me get out clean Show your colors I'm slipping under Help me through this, please" - I had to think about this part a little. I think it means that since she loves him intensely, there is a part of him in her now, there is a space reserved for his thoughts in her mind and heart. So, she is probably asking to strip those layers out of her soul so that she can attempt to get better. So that she can have her perspective back. So that she can be sane and pure again. Next, she asks him to "show his colors" probably asking him to show his true self to her, show the person inside of him. He has played with her heart severely and still, she holds onto him and loves him blindly. Perhaps, that's why she says that she is slipping under, as in, slipping under the unconditional love she feels for him and it is overpowering her judgment and viewpoint. Hence, she is asking him to be true to her, not to pretend to love her. If she saw that clearly, she would not foster hopes that he might change. It'd be easier for her to see that she is making the right decision by giving him up. She is begging him to come clean about the situation and help her to let him go. This is a truly deep song. A lot of us know what it feels like to struggle between deciding whether to give up or hold on. |

| Taylor Swift – Last Kiss Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song means so much to me. Its basically about a relationship where the girl was deeply in love with a guy but, due to some reasons, their relationship ended and the lyrics indicate that he left her. Now, the girl is missing him very badly and just longing to be with him. Every single thing is reminding her of what they once used to have, she is saying how she still finds it unable to believe that the relationship is over but he will always have an irreplaceable place in her heart. This song reminds me of my best friend. We studied together from KG to 5th grade then he changed school. We barely knew each other during that time but coincidentally, we ended up in the same school in 11th grade where we became really close. He was my everything, the person who I could call up even at midnight to talk about the silliest stuff ever. Whenever we talked, there were no restrictions or inhibitions. We had the most comfortable relationship ever that I had witnessed. I never thought he was anything more than a friend, I could never perceive him that way.All I knew was that I loved him unconditionally and immeasurably and life without him seemed bleak and depressing. He perceived me in the same way. We just had to be with each other everyday,that was as natural as breathing. We never tried to make sense out of why we needed each other, we were happy with what we had. And...then she came. She was an intriguing and truly nice individual or it seemed that way, which was why we became beast friends,more like sisters. After a few months, I found out that he had always liked her from the very beginning and she had similar feelings or so it seemed. Surprisingly, this bothered and I tried to shove it out of my mind and tried to be happy for their newly found love. But, she was so much different than what we thought. She was leading him on until she broke his heart and went out with the guy she actually liked and changed schools. I still remember how he came over to my house that day and he just kept on crying, that was the first time that i saw him crying. He had numerous problems n his life regarding his friends and parents but he never cried..till day day..because of her. Ever since her departure and the end of their relationship, I don't know what happened. He just...shut me out of his life. He stopped calling me, never even looked at me anymore. I can't even explain how excruciating it was for me initially. It was heartbreaking each time when I would try to start a conversation and he would walk away indifferently. Each day, the remoteness in his eyes only intensified while I kept on wondering what went wrong till I finally gave up and did what he was doing-shut him out of my life. Even as I'm writing this, I am trying to end the influence he has over my heart, trying to be as cold and unfeeling as he is being, trying to at least pretend to be uncaring and indifferent. I can lie to everyone....but myself. I still know perfectly that what he thinks about me does affect me significantly, I still know that each time when his smile fades pierces my heart. I don't know if this is love, I don't know whether we could go back to what we once used to be, I don't know what was the reason behind all of this. What I do know is his well being is important to me. I need to know that he's happy which is why I'm close friends with a lot of his friends, so that i can enquire to them about him. I am not sure about whether I want him in my love or not but I need him to have a wonderful life ahead. Its sad how the people, whom we thought would always be beside us, end up leaving us in the rain. |
